I think this might be worth some sort of mini-celebration. I never thought I'd live to see the day. "the MP3 technology became patent-free in the United States on 16 April 2017 when U.S. Patent 6,009,399, ...administered by Technicolor, expired"

The final remaining patent on the MP3 format — "METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ENCODING DIGITAL SIGNALS EMPLOYING BIT ALLOCATION USING COMBINATIONS OF DIFFERENT THRESHOLD MODELS TO ACHIEVE DESIRED BIT RATES" — has expired today.

@sungo Wait it really pulls all of that data on every notice?
No wonder new mastodon nodes federating was killing existing GS nodes. That's a lot of overhead. -

On instance blocking policies I don't have any problem with blocking domains serving illegal content. This is one thing which admins and users need to be mindful of.
The good news is that these are not new problems, and when they've happened before usually the community is quite diligent about deleting the offending accounts or blocking the relevant domains. -

@numimyon @colonthree this is one of the great things about the fediverse. It's difficult for anyone to gain fake popularity by occupying a position in the communications hierarchy. -

#introductions
For the newbies. Ugh, well, what to say? I'm a Free Software hacker. I use a mechanical keyboard and trackball and I am an Arch/Parabola user. In a former incarnation I mostly did industrial robotics and computer vision, but now I'm mostly interested in self-hosting and things pertaining to running communications systems.
I've always been interested in self-organizing systems and emergent processes. Systems which try to survive. This is the commonality across the various things I've done.

@katamarichaos
Twitter in general just...isn't great even at the best of times.
I've seen, and I imagine you have too from what you describe, a lot of people you'd assume to be fairly decent, end up idiots, or just downright cruel, through twitter bullshit.
I sincerely hope this fate does not come to the Fediverse+Mastodon. -

The more I inquire around about #microsoft #windows claims of #security post #nsa leaks, the more I realise such claims are based on nothing

@cocoron satire can be useful and sometimes funny, but you're right that organized action is what you need. Politicians are usually very self-important and so some biting satire and stinging rhetoric can go a long way towards bursting their bubble of pomposity. -

@krainboltgreene someone was saying that it doesn't scale very well on a single server due to the slow ruby implementation
