My friend @kfury points out that 9/16/25 is closely related to a 3-4-5 triangle and says it's Pythagoras Day.

@johnefrancis @kfury fair! In Pythagoras 's time, it was typical to describe dates with as "Nth of Month" or "N days before the end of Month". Month names were regional. Year numbers were usually based on the year of rulers or leaders in the city. So, he'd know a date format more like: +/- day, Month name, year of rule, ruler or leader name.

@johnefrancis @kfury it works fine in 16/9/25 format too, btw. Doesn't depend on order!

@skyfaller so, it's about having the same people for you? "Fediverse" is the name of the community, not the network?
-
@evan Is the World Wide Web no longer the Web because we are browsing HTML 5 instead of HTML 4? What about the brief XHTML / semantic web period? If the same people using the same software use a different protocol, why does the name for what they're doing need to change?
-
@skyfaller no.

@evan No, I'm just using Mastodon as an example of a popular fedi software that used to run on a different protocol.
Do you think the OStatus predecessor network was meaningfully different in character than the present fediverse? It seems like the same idea, just not implemented as well, and more narrowly focused on microblogging.
Could you call the OStatus network an early fedi? Could a new protocol with similar values and goals still be meaningfully fedi?
-
@skyfaller so, for you, the Fediverse is about Mastodon?

More like Losesome Earle-Sears, am I right, folks? (I'll see myself out.)

@stefano The people who demand moar powerrrr really need to drop their current workstation for a 266MHz Pentium 2 with 32MB RAM and a 5400 RPM hard drive.
That will force them to design better code. Or pick a different career field altogether. 🤣
