Thinking about VBScript.
I don't know if modern Web developers are aware how much of a struggle it was to get to the HTML5 stack we use today. There was a loooooooooot of bullshit to wade through. VBScript, ActiveX, Java applets, browser plugins, Flash. It was a fight every step of the way.

The Web Standards Project was instrumental in this work. Their efforts probably generated a trillion dollars in value for the planet and saved countless lives. Open standards fucking matter.

@evan I remember this one gaming site that uses a bunch of frames and a Java app in the top bar to control the whole rest of the frame.. and man.. getting that Java app to work and be signed and… >_<

@scanner Oh, boy.

@BreakingNerd I mean, that's a bad practice, sure, but it wasn't a commercial product by a single company foisted onto the Internet by gullible Web developers. Nobody had to download RealPlayer to get a table layout to work.

I wonder if @davew ever talks about some of the grotesque syndication products like PointCast and Castanet from the late 90s when he's discussing the history of RSS.

@davew TIL! Those are fascinating posts.

@davew TIL! Those are fascinating posts.
@davew I mean, TIL about the relationship of RSS to Pointcast. I already knew that you can look things up using the Google search engine, even if I don't always practice it.

i was very impressed with pointcast.
that CNN on the Desktop piece ran in Wired.
and they quoted it everywhere.
it was a breakthrough. probably not the most elegant implementation, but wow what an idea.

btw i was ready to help you too. shortly after i moved to nyc and got settled in i was going to come up to montreal for a visit, but somehow right at that moment you and a bunch of other familiar people were meeting privately with someone from google. i had seen that movie before too in many instances of the tech industry.
i see the long journey you took from that, i think we might have gotten there quickly.
did you write the software in identi.ca?

[BZ] Tanti partecipanti al presidio contro Leonardo spa, Flying Basket e IDV. Guerra e genocidio partono anche da qui.

Giovedì 11 settembre 2025, a 52 anni dal colpo di stato fascista in Cile sostenuto dagli Stati Uniti d’America, tanti compagni e solidali con il popolo palestinese hanno partecipato al presidio di fronte https://www.rivoluzioneanarchica.it/bz-tanti-partecipanti-al-presidio-contro-leonardo-spa-flying-basket-e-idv-guerra-e-genocidio-partono-anche-da-qui/

Certo che se mi metto a pensare che il ""successo"" (capitemi) di una cosa che faccio è determinato dal capriccio di un algoritmo...

@enzoa24 qui òìaccount @FediTips lo spiega molto bene:
In generale, il tuo server può vedere i seguenti contenuti:
- Tutti gli account sul tuo server
- Tutti i post pubblicati dagli account sul tuo server
- Tutti i post condivisi da almeno un account sul tuo server
- Tutti gli account che hanno almeno un follower sul tuo server
- Tutti i post pubblicati da account che hanno almeno un follower sul tuo server
- Tutti i post condivisi dagli account che hanno almeno un follower sul tuo server
- Tutti i post dei gruppi che hanno almeno un follower sul tuo server
- Tutte le risposte ai post sul tuo server
- Tutti i post che menzionano account sul tuo server
- Tutti gli account che hanno risposto ai post sul tuo server o hanno menzionato account sul tuo server
- Tutti i post che sono stati cercati tramite l'indirizzo web della loro pagina originale
- Tutti gli account che sono stati cercati tramite il loro indirizzo account
- Tutti gli account che sono stati menzionati nei post che il tuo server ha notato
- Tutti i post vengono inviati al tuo server da un server relay, i relay vengono aggiunti ai server dagli amministratori
- Tutti i post vengono inviati al tuo server tramite script, ad esempio lo script Hypebot invia i post di tendenza da altri server al tuo. Gli script vengono generalmente aggiunti da amministratori tecnicamente qualificati.Ma tieni presente che Friendica mostra la timeline in modo diverso: quando un thread di un utente che segui riceve un nuovo commento (oppure quando un thread riceve un nuovo commento di un utente che segui), quel thread lo vedi di nuovo al primo posto nella tua timeline.
In un certo senso la visualizzazione di Mastodon è quella tipica di twitter, quella di Friendica è tipica di facebook, con la differenza che l'unico algoritmo è puramente "cronologico" e non condizionato dalla presunzione preferenziale della piattaforma
