Linux has always had a strong showing over there. If I had the misfortune of living there I’d certainly want all the privacy and autonomy I could get…

Yes, it would be some tacticool edgelord callsign like “Viper” or “Terminator”.

Neat. What does your OS tell you it is?

The kernel recently surpassed 40 million lines of code, so there’s lots of room to add more fucks and shits.

You really like metaphors.

I started with a single file that had bullet points for each story beat, then those grew into chapters. I then had files/notes for specific things that I needed to remember but didn’t want in the novel itself (character backstories, etc). After a while I found the single file overwhelming so I split it into one file per chapter, that way it was easier to focus on one at a time; when I felt they were all in decent shape I put them back together in one file. I use headings for each chapter title so that I can jump to each one in the table of contents. I’m now doing a final pass for tone and for minor fixes; when something needs attention I highlight it so that I can find it later.

I tried a LOT of different apps but Obsidian was for me the best combination of being very responsive, not too distracting, easy to navigate, and not locking me into a proprietary format.

I also love iA writer but it doesn’t work on Linux, or with Wine…

I’m writing a novel in Obsidian and it works great. Currently closing on 70k words and it’s just as fast as a file with 50 words in it. I also like that it’s a simple markdown file which I can easily back up anywhere and open with anything. It can also organize multiple files and link to them if needed, which is nice when starting out if you use the snowflake method.

No, I pretty much only look at the number of contributors (more is better)

Hello vegan, I’m dad.

Depending on the use case you might want to narrow this down by how many are compatible with your needs. Stripe’s API for example is extremely versatile.

Sounds pretty rapey to me.

What’s the difference between this and missiles?

If they do achieve decentralization in the future I’ll gladly call it decentralized, but “tangible plans” don’t warrant use of a descriptor like that. If someone is training in the hope of making their country’s Olympics team they don’t get to call themselves an Olympian. You have to have gone to the Olympics to justify that title. Working towards decentralization is the same thing. You don’t get to call yourself decentralized just because you wrote it down as a goal on your roadmap.

I don’t think that it’s accurate to say that bluesky is “completely” centralized (it is less centralized than most social media) as much as it’s de-facto centralized.

That’s like me calling myself a millionaire because I could theoretically be one at some point in the future. I am de facto not a millionaire, but I also have more than zero dollars. so I’m not completely a non-millionaire.

Also theres already another instance and relays running on a raspberry pi.

Oh yeah? I can join that second server right now and communicate with folks on the main server?

I stopped reading when the “journalist” asked this question:

How did you end up starting a decentralized social platform?

How little research must one do to credulously repeat that PR talking point for a platform that is in fact completely centralized?

Really, can you point out which section that’s in? All I find is “creating fake accounts or content, including fake reviews”, which doesn’t apply here if the person does use the service.

ou’re not allowed to review your own companies software

Says who? They can still be a user of it.
