    @maiyannah @gideonro I was once on Google+ long ago, but it had some problems:

    • It's not FOSS
    • It doesn't follow open standards
    • It doesn't federate (is a centralised silo)
    To understand why Google behaves the way it does you only need to grok a few things:

    • It's income is primarily from advertising
    • Targeted advertising means surveillance which means Google always need to be able to see plaintext. E2EE is therefore kryptonite to them.
    • For the ad model to work information processing needs to be hierarchical such that the advertiser entity exists at a higher level than the user and can see/spam lower levels.
    This means that Google simply cannot compete within certain technology spaces. To do so would break their business model. Notice how they withdrew from XMPP some time ago, despite it remaining as one of the most secure communications methods.

    It's highly unlikely that we'll have any real competition from Google in the realm of federated socnets following open standards. They might tinker, run a GSoC one time or whatever, but that will be about the extent of it.

    @deadsuperhero @maiyannah @katiekats at one of the ARM conferences last year they were saying that the photolithography methods have gone about as far as they're going to go and if anything like Moore's law is to continue it's going to need composite materials. Silicon plus something else, or new materials.

    I'm hoping May's plan to strengthen her position through elections works just as well as Cameron's plan to shut up the pro-brexit part of this party through the referendum.

    @herrabre @maiyannah yes I think blocking stuff which is illegal in your zone of residence is entirely justifiable - whether or not you agree with the legal specificities. It's just self-defense.

    @maiyannah relax. Play some games. Laugh at Theresa May and her silly declarations. Work on postActiv if you prefer.

    On finding better, more progressive, political candidates to run in elections. Well, I think the UK has bigger problems than this. The problems are structural, they're unrelated to the quality of specific candidates as such.

    Numero uno, we're still stuck with feudalism. Never quite moved on. Think that doesn't matter? Do some research on the toffs, what they're worth, how much of the land they own. It's embarrassing. Last I checked, the queen chooses who ultimately runs the BBC. Some of the royals also have decidedly irregular business practices.

    Just sayin.

    So getting past feudalism is the first of many hurdles.

    I'm almost completely certain that the DNS issues we've been experiencing at the manor are because I've been editing the wrong zone file for weeks.  Going to wait a few hours for my changes to propagate and hope for the best.  I feel like a moron.
