@josh I follow @marcel_kolaja, current member of the EU Parliament running for reelection for the Czech Pirate Party. (I guess you'll find many more officials on the fediverse for Pirate Parties across the Europe.)
Those of you who use #Matrix - should I be using the Android app Element, or Element X?
I just want text based comms in the #EMFCamp channel. I'm not fussed about anything else.
The Element website recommends Element. But their GitHub seems to recommend Element X. And, frankly, I don't understand why I'd want one over the other.
@Edent I've started using Element X recently. The UI feels much smoother and more “native”. What's missing for me so far is threads support (it displays threaded conversations as replies so it's quite messy; it can reply to a thread, but can't start a new thread).
This is what Twitter / X does when I try to access it on my mobile browser. It just forever redirects between two URLs.
I know I could probably fix this by deleting my cookies but, honestly, I sort of like Twitter this way? The page started doing the infinite loop a few days ago, and it's still doing it now (I just checked).
"TypeSpec is an attempt to combine the design-first and code-first worlds into something that works across both methodologies and reduces cognitive load for designers. ... The TypeSpec approach also means a general decrease in complexity, which, for Microsoft, eases its use across the organization." -- #ChrisWood
Question: Is there something radically improved in the ChatGPT4 LLM such that it gets this right "organically?"
Or—pardon my cynicism—is there some exception code slapped into the system in response to a bug being filed, and this isn't actually "improved" so much as "faked to avoid embarrassment?"
»#Bluesky was launched to become the open source protocol layer for social media platforms, but the team ended up “literally repeating all the mistakes we made” at #Twitter.«

I'm on here looking for text indexers and everything is 'lightning fast exoscale terafloops that scales to enterprise quantawarbles with polytopplic performanations' and it would be great if this industry could breathe into a bag until it remembers that one person with one computer is a constituency that matters.
@youronlyone I think The Appleseed Project is the oldest one, going back to 2004 (though the oldest archived sites I found so far are from 2005). I only learned about OSW from this article: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/10128476 – I think they were building on top of XMPP like Buddycloud, but I need to look further into it.
Yeah, I agree ATproto should be included.
I'll do some more digging next week and open an issue or a PR in your repository, thanks!
What the actual fuck, Mastodon.social?
They now interstitial wall links out like other social networks they bitch about? Really cool leading by example, not. Link is to be clicked without your backward warnings. #openinternet#mastodon#ux#ui#links#hypertext#mastodonsocial
Look at it, I still have a t-shirt from @webexpo 2013. It's kinda worn, but it lasted much longer than other conference merch (same can be said about those events). Little did I know I'd speak there 11 years later.
And in case you still don't have a ticket, you can use promo code “JANV24” for 15% off on http://webexpo.net/ (I don't get any referral bonus or anything, just good karma) #WebExpo#WebExpo2024
