I don’t mean this in a mean way, but what do you mean?
How else would I drink tea?

I’m on the opposite side of Ireland (kerry). I don’t drink that much tea though! I thought 4 cups was a lot.

Sharkey’s mastodon api implementation lets you ddos the server.

I tell people to make a live usb to test it first.

Getting flashbacks to reddit’s aita.

Most people just use the online office 365 thing.

What issues did you have with LibreOffice? I didn’t spot any problems when I used it

Its a good idea for their shareholders, who don’t think beyond the next quater. Pretty sure most of them don’t have object permanence.

Sure, but when are they going to remove that registry option?

I’ve seen this said before, actually. I agree, and I think some people will give me funny looks when they see me at cableporn (really neat cables) or something like that.

Why is everyone reccommending linux mint all of a sudden? What happened to ubuntu and fedora?

Because we need your data silly 😊

Or linux.

Pavlov Reaction?

I wouldn’t say that, more just abusing a monopoly.

Spotify has an official linux (electron :( ) app.

That would also key in (no pun intended) with the nomadic identity FEPs.

Posts should be encrypted, this is what diaspora does. I agree with this. For emails though, pgp is used by no-one. Also, AP uses tls as well.

I was thinking that encrypted posts could work with multi key encryption (if my understanding of this post is correct https://stackoverflow.com/questions/597188/encryption-decryption-with-multiple-keys ).

The problem (imo) is mastodon being the internet explorer of the fediverse, and refusing to do any encryption.

The stickers, pins and tote bags are still in stock. The plush is the one in high demand.

I wouldn’t consider it a hack, as the protocol was actually made with these posts in mind. Public posts weren’t the focus of activitypub.

I would consider it similar to email, should we abandon it (yes, but not because of this) just because a malicious email server started publishing all the emails it recieved? AP is just email but social media.
