Seems to me the most likely explanation is they got caught and fixed it.

spaduf@slrpnk.netto Technology@beehaw.org•Why Everyone Should Still Use an RSS Reader in 202413·1 year agoDoes anybody have any recommendations for FOSS RSS readers with actual content surfacing features? So many RSS feeds are full of junk (this is particularly a problem with feeds with wildly disparate posting frequencies) and I’ve always felt they’d be a lot more useful if people were putting more effort into a modern way to sort through extremely dense feeds.
spaduf@slrpnk.netto Programming@programming.dev•Introducing Pkl, a programming language for configuration11·1 year agoThis is a great project and I’m surprised by the tone of the response here. I think most folks are forgetting that most of the people dealing with configuration are not programmers by trade. They just need to setup a tool for their use case. To that end, the gap between the existing configuration paradigm and extending their software is practically insurmountable. This language bridges that gap in a robust and purpose built way and that is going to make a lot of people’s lives and jobs easier.
Think about homeassistant and how much less fidly it’d be to get advanced functionality or interfaces if the gap between programming and configuration were closed? There is an absolute fuckton of enterprise and scientific software that will improve in the same way.

spaduf@slrpnk.netto Free and Open Source Software@beehaw.org•Do you guys think there will ever be a FOSS voice assistant?2·2 years agoProbably for the best. They’d been spinning their wheels while sucking most of the oxygen out of the room for several years now. Time for somebody else to give it a go
This is a very gen x take on “nerds”
Your LAN/DND sessions sound lame
spaduf@slrpnk.netto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•PeerTube stress tests: resilience lies in your peers!English2·2 years agoI don’t think anybody’s tried exactly nebula-style, but there is already https://newellijay.tv which seems to be a kind of video-outgrowth of an existing rural makerspace? Pretty cool project from what I’m seeing
spaduf@slrpnk.netto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•PeerTube stress tests: resilience lies in your peers!English3·2 years agoPeerTube is not really intended as a platform, even less so than most fediverse projects. As it stands, the best way to think about PeerTube is sans discovery mechanisms because I don’t think any are planned. With this in mind, peertube is best thought of as the video extension of the fediverse and the discovery niche is filled through word-of-mouth here and over on the microblogging side.
spaduf@slrpnk.netto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•PeerTube stress tests: resilience lies in your peers!English4·2 years agoThere are multiple monetization plugins and absolutely no built-in anti-monetization features. I don’t think it’s unreasonable for them to keep the base software monetization agnostic. They talked about this at length during the AMA a couple of weeks ago. I believe this one is the most popular: https://github.com/samlich/peertube-plugin-web-monetization

To be fair, this is an old, old engine with several generation defining blockbusters making use of it. Not to mention the massive modding communities who’ve probably spent more collective hours fighting with the engine over the past few years than Bethesda has.

Increasingly sounds like Ilya just bungled the timing
spaduf@slrpnk.netto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Mozilla Senior Director of Content explained why Mozilla has taken an interest in the fediverse and MastodonEnglish3·2 years agoAs I see it, there are three major ways a fork could gain significant standing among the community:
- They could get features out faster. Scaled sort would’ve been absolutely pivotal during a migrationary wave, as it would have allowed small communities to gain exposure on the front page in a far more natural and organic way. Currently new communities are largely dependent on the community spotlight subs and there’s not a whole lot of ways to actually gain momentum after that initial posting.
- They could improve performance and appeal to admins. The current cost of hosting Lemmy is fairly bloated from my understanding.
- They could invest in moderation. Beehaw would certainly be interested.
I honestly think any one of these is easily manageable by a handful of people in off time. Other parts of the fediverse of similar size are chock full of forks.
spaduf@slrpnk.netto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Mozilla Senior Director of Content explained why Mozilla has taken an interest in the fediverse and MastodonEnglish41·2 years agoI would love to contribute but I don’t have the experience for a fork. This is kind of the essence of the whole problem though. Plenty of unutilized contributors who could be driving this project forward but are having a hard time getting involved.
If interoperability were improved, Mastodon and Lemmy may be able to standin for discovery algorithms in the short term.
Symfonium is pretty good as a one time purchase.
