• Disputes can be brought to tribunal
• Everyone of full age and sound mind gets a vote
• Previous tribunal decisions can be applied without voting again if the dispute is similar enough

Basically some sort of democratic case law

Electricity vs. energy. Electricity is only part of energy.

I hope it is going to be ok. Automattic has been involved with matrix before. Time will tell, but I’m more hopeful than afraid.

I tried to compare some backup solutions a while back: https://hedgedoc.ptman.name/kket4uo9RLiJRnOhkCzvWw#

Forget about docker. Run caddy or some similar webserver that is a single file next to the assets to serve.

How full is your ZFS? ZFS doesn’t handle disk filling and fragmentation well.

Element is running out of money. I think they would keep the old license if other commercial matrix-based projects would contribute developers or money.

I would also welcome decent micropayments (maybe digieuro?), so that you wouldn’t need to subscribe, but could pay 0.045€ for something without it being unfeasible because of fixed transaction costs.

My point exactly. Why do we get ads on something we pay for with money?

I can only approve of people paying for services they use. It isn’t free to run. But there are several things to consider:

• $1/year is very low, transaction fees for accepting that amount of money are high
• It’s a low price for successful bots
• Doesn’t remove ads (take money from subscribers or advertisers, not both, also print media)
• Doesn’t give you better control over your experience. The paying customer should be the one being listened to
• This is Elon Musk’s twitter we’re talking about, how long until he changes his mind again?

Another surge on mastodon? Countries, cities, public organisations should put up their own mastodon like EU, BBC and Germany have.

Make a spreadsheet of where your money is going.

Or then you can just realize that the time you spend is spent not making money and you need to save time, not services.

• Flatness. UI controls need to be recognizable.
• Theming/styling. A button should look like button.
• Lack of menus. Discoverability is poor if you don’t have a list of things in an obvious place.
• Gestures. Lack of discoverability.
• Information density. I don’t care about huge margins and filler pictures. Content shouldn’t be crammed, but space should be used efficiently.
• Mobile first. Especially if mobile use is only a fraction of actual use. Or maybe even if it is the majority of users, but not majority of use (operations, hours).
• Simplicity. Make simple things simple, but hard things possible. Removing features can make your software useless.

Paper bags are worse, except maybe for microplastics. But they take more resources to create, and aren’t as recyclable as good plastic bags. You can use a canvas bag, but that takes even more resources to create. So you have to use the same canvas bag for years

Sweden is a monarchy, they have a king, not a president. But in this case it seems to be the prime minister

Riot games forced them to change the name.
