@picofarad I forgot to do it, so I had to ask for it to be added in the follow up prompt. :)
@mike Ah ha! So the transport network is relevant after all? :) Yes, I feel the same way. Federated open stuff is so much better.
@mike Yes, because these networks are connected and that's how it should be. How do you send messages to TikTok or WeChat or WhatsApp or Instagram or Signal or Discord or Slack users from here though?
@mike Seriously? Do you have 1000 messaging apps on your phones? :) I don't have time for that anymore! Haha
@mike Yeah; choose person, type message, press send. It would be nice if the networks were connected to each other though.
@atomicpoet It can do all the same things Matrix does though. My understanding of the Fediverse was that it was a network of public social networks. I would say Matrix is a messaging protocol. Oh well, it's not important.
@atomicpoet Does Matrix really count as being part of the Fediverse? If yes, then so would email, right?
Dear devs,
It's NEVER ok to lock people out of a webapp because their User-Agent doesn't match your predefined list. 😡
Especially webapps they need to manage their healthcare.
(I am in fact using one of the browsers on this list, your code just isn't able to tell.)
Please boost for basic education.
TikTok: Look! I discovered hot water melts frozen food faster!
Twitter: Look at this TikTok video showing how to defrost your food faster!
Yahoo news: Millions of Twitter users view TikTok video showing new life hack for melting frozen food!
Mastodon: Please read my academic white paper describing the impacts of public school system underfunding

@rlounsbury @Gartenberg Zune would have been great in 2002 when MP3 players started becoming popular instead of when smartphones were becoming popular. I did love that Zune Pass with 10 songs to keep per month. A great deal!
"If the recent Twitter debacle has taught us anything it is that platforms aren’t stable. Tying your online identity to a corporate-owned website is fine for a while but in the very long run anything posted there is, ultimately, ephemeral....The only thing we can really rely on on the web is the web itself.
It is ubiquitous enough to be mostly decentralized, has backward-compatible standards that are mostly agreed-upon, and is mostly resilient to attack..."
Woo! Finally go #Wordpress to work on #NGINX by adding the below to the server block config! server {

if (!-e $request_filename) {
rewrite ^.*$ /index.php last;
}

That's what I was going to say! Email list servers have been good for private collaboration groups for decades. Install one of those and you're set for many future decades. https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/

@j2inet I need to learn Linux-based alternatives like DaVinci Resolve, Blender, and Houdini, I think. :-\
