  RE: https://aus.social/@Robinzz3/117062547486706911 It's not what you use, but it's - what the local gardening group uses - what the local Scout group uses - what the local Park Run uses - what your old school friends use - what your family uses A lot of Fedi seems to forget about network effects and what allowed Facebook to grow in the first place. You want to dismantle it? Build something better - but people will go where their friends are and where the people they want to talk to...

  #AskFedi someone here posted about an #rsync "successor" that may have used zstd or at least smarter compression. Does anyone know what it was?

  RE: https://social.treehouse.systems/@ariadne/116904308272013280 This wasn't an exaggeration. That's a hell of a lot of churn on a "core" component. https://github.com/matter-js/matter.js/graphs/contributors?all=1 *Even* accounting for codegen (https://github.com/matter-js/matter.js/blob/main/packages/model/README.md)

  RE: https://mastodon.decentralised.social/@wezm/116552990807891145 I wonder what it would look like to organise a "distributed", wide ranging review, especially to find dependencies like this. Humans only, of course.

  [edit: narrowed this down - grab an MP3/FLAC file, rename it to have a single quote somewhere in the name, zip it up] #AskFedi Possible #AdamFindsBugs, can I get someone to check my work here? Grab one of the zip files you bought from #Bandcamp on #BandcampFriday but *don't* unpack it. Drop it on to the VLC playlist - does it work?

  RE: https://cloudisland.nz/@daisy/116312358923253621 Fuck my career, my chosen *industry* has been damaged, maybe permanently, by over-hype, grift and lies (same as it ever was?) Goat farming isn't wheelchair accessible so I am here for the long term. If you spruiked vapourware, made things worse for newbies and generally made my job worse, I will always remember, and I will never, ever forgive you. You know who you are and you know what you did. I hope you got paid at least, becaus...

  #AskFedi With Skype gone, what's the "easy" way to make #VoIP to PSTN (international) calls these days? Something I can give to non technical people, plus I don't particularly feel like having to care about fucking SIP servers.
