this was what initially promoted the post for the record

a screenshot of a reddit reply reading "I kind of hope they change direction. Federation has advantages, but it also introduces new problems and complexities. I can't see federated social media really taking off with average users, and they're the ones that need to be convinced to make the switch. Matrix is already part of a long and storied line of cool technologies built by IT folks that vastly overestimate the average person's technical ability and capacity to care about very specific issues. I would rather a return to the older model where the client stores unique credentials for every server a user wants to use, a-la Mumble."

el: bluesky has missed a lot of my iconic Shelf Updates over the past several months so have one on the house

a photo of a very densely packed bookshelf mostly filled with light novels and manga (especially vinland saga, the world after the fall, overlord, ajin: demihuman, akira, tensura, and omniscient reader's viewpoint), but with a top shelf displaying cds and vinyl and a bottom shelf of western books.

I returned to my childhood home, Before its demolition, A cottage in the woods of rural Alabama, Built by my great grandfather in the early 20th century, And found my childhood piano standing where it always had Please witness, Perhaps its final performance Farewell, My muse

A panel from the manga Ajin, with dialogue reading "So Tanaka, do you like video games?" Tanaka replies "Huh?". The next bubble's text is edited to say "well my life is like one" in crust stretched comic sans.

This is a matter of significant concern to me, So I felt inclined to boost the post, Especially considering I have discussed this exact subject at significant length on a number of occasions; This is part of my fondness for XMPPs status system

A screenshot of a mastodon post from @nina_kali_nina@tech.lgbt that reads "Today I was reminded that old online chats offered context awareness for the people online: you knew you won't be a bother to a friend who has a smiley flower as a status; and you knew you might not be getting a quick reply from someone who's Away.

Today I don't even know if my friends are online or not. The messenger apps make the assumption that everyone is online, and if not, they will receive a push notification, and will reply to you as soon as possible. But this assumption is barely true. I bet it makes lives harder, especially for neurodivergent people"

Attached is a screenshot of an old instant messaging application application showing several online status options:

Online
Free for chat
Away
Extended away
Occupied
Do not disturb
Invisible
Offline
