God had no part in this travesty, that’s for sure.
ActivityPub is a communication protocol. There’s nothing stopping anyone from implementing it and then adding their own ‘features’.
Just look at how different companies have implemented the HTML ‘standard’. You end up with websites that require specific browsers to run properly. It’s gotten better over the past few years, but god damn anyone old enough to remember what a pain it was designing websites in the 90’s and working around all of Internet Explorer’s shenanigans will tell you it’s not a good time.
I’ve been using Linux since RedHat 4.2, and for a number of years in the early 2000’s as a desktop. Since then it’s mainly been as a server, and I just recently got back into running it as a primary desktop.
The “it’s always been that way” argument is stupid and you should know better.
No offense, but I have plenty of ways of interacting with my ‘normie’ friends that don’t involve whoring out my personal data. If someone insists they want to hang out with you but only when they’re hosting a Pampered Chef party, they can fuck right off.
Reddit doesn’t owe them a refund… Apollo Inc. should owe them a refund and the developer simply walks away, because he’s not personally responsible for Apollo Inc’s debts.
I nearly had a aneurysm when I hit up drive-thru for lunch today and they had a sign that starting July 1st the city of Edmonton will require a $0.15 surcharge for take-out bags.
Never mind the fact that the fucking price of a burger has almost doubled over the past 3 years, better make sure we punish people for switching from plastic to paper.
Single-use plastic shopping bags (including compostable or biodegradable plastic shopping bags) can no longer be distributed, and businesses must charge at least 15 cents for a paper shopping bag and at least $1 for a new reusable shopping bag.
Humans are even more incredibly resource intensive. Are you doing your part by not breeding? Judging by your post history I’d say you’re well on your way, good show!
