@cstross every time a major cloud provider goes down for a while, we get a new "they put WHAT in the cloud?" story. it's always fun!

@foone Adds a whole new and unwelcome meaning to "like sleeping on a cloud", doesn't it?

@cstross yep!
I've thought before, a fun show for someone to do would be to get all these cloud-synced things and then show what happens if the wifi goes down. Can you still make toast if you unplug the modem? can you flush your toilet? can you turn off your bedroom lights? can you get out of your recliner?
(that last one is actually close to something I've had to worry about: my wife could be trapped in her motorized recliner if the power went out, so it's on a UPS just in case)

@foone At some point in the next couple of years I need to upgrade the living room to a 4K TV (for reasons of spousal harmony). And they're all running advertising spyware these days.
I need to go into shops and ask, "does it work, out of the box, if there's no internet? Because I refuse to have the damn thing in my cave."
Then ensure it's MAC-blocked by the router and only sucks data through an HDMI cable.

I've been on Meetic first and then on Tinder.
My privilege, as a man, is that I'm not exposed to threats, I never felt endangered, while a woman also have to cope with that.
This being said, I think that whoever uses dating apps can tell stories about how ridiculously (to say the least) people behave over there.
Dating apps are the place to be if you really want to have a look at humankind from the inside, and most of time that's disheartening.
I could tell you about many women I met on dating apps that (in my opinion) should be sent to a crash course on manners.
Everyone has their own cross to bear... 🙂

@OldManToast Let's hope not.

@bnewbold.net I don't think it's material to the discussion today, but I'd be happy to help out with your comparison slides next time you want to talk about ActivityPub.

@bnewbold.net I also think that we provide location-independent addressing; we just do it in the way other Web systems do, with DNS. You can move a Mastodon installation from one hosting service to another, re-map the DNS, and the server is live on the network again.

@bnewbold.net your comparison slide misrepresents ActivityPub somewhat in two ways.
1. We do distribute data, not just metadata, including binary data. It can be pushed, or it can be pulled.
2. It's not just a message-passing system; it's a distributed data store. Every object on the network can be fetched directly using its `id`, which is an HTTPS URL.
