When corporations put fecal matter in the water supply, that’s just the will of the free market and the natural order of things. When you do it, however, all of a sudden it’s “endangerment of life”. Double standard much?

If their support of cryptobro social network Nostr wasn’t a huge red flag, Mullenweg’s stamp of approval surely is

No ActivityPub-based services are really private. There is no mechanism for end-to-end encryption, access-listed posts, or even true DMs. ActivityPub is intended as a microblogging-style publishing service with interaction built in, with privacy not being in the spec’s scope.

Maybe some day they’ll retrofit privacy to the protocol, but that would involve reengineering it to handle key management and end-to-end encryption, which would be a hard problem.

Strong Matt Mullenweg energy

Spoiler: he turned out to be Elon Musk

But think of the impressive military parades.

Nice try, officer…

I have historically gone with PostgreSQL and had no complaints. The licensing issues concerning MySQL also give one pause (Oracle are greedy bastards who will use any excuse to extract money from captive customers, so depending on their properties is to be avoided). Having said that, these days, SQLite is probably sufficient for many workloads and has the advantage of not requiring a database server.
