@_mql I agree partly: don’t personally think it is monotonically getting harder. The method of gaining confidence has changed for sure, and you get rapidly punished by slop if you don’t exercise a battery of quality controls… But also easier to put those controls in place now.

Orbiter is a generative ambient music system for the web + Linux, macOS, Win, iOS, Android. Enjoy!

Orbiter has a built-in neural sequencer, to compose meditative music, or for you to compose together with it — driving physically modelled instruments.

Part 2 of our ongoing effort to open source the Liveblocks server stack. We present Zen Router!

[Liveblocks @liveblocks]

Introducing Zen Router: our open-source HTTP router.

Zen Router handles billions of requests per month at Liveblocks, and today we're open sourcing it. Initially designed for Cloudflare Workers, but also compatible with Node.js, Bun, and more.

On a personal level, getting to lead us deeper into an open source development model was a big part of why I wanted to join. This is just the kind of neat, open CRDT sync implementation I always wanted to have for my own apps.

[Matias Piipari (@[email protected]) @mz2]

We just made open source the key parts of the Liveblocks server stack (https://t.co/KKZjREITEV) — the sync engine and a dev server that enables you to run it anywhere for dev and test: bare metal, Docker, GitHub CI, K8s, what have you.

@ivanpuopolo Herra Muskhan sanoi jo ennen kuin aloitti twitterin kanssa turoamisen että etsisi toimarin. Huomiohakuista viestintää tilanteen resetointi tavoitteena.

Pakko sanoa kommenteista: hämmentävä määrä Musk-apologisteja nimenomaisesti suomalaisten twitterin käyttäjien joukossa vielä 🤯

@Villavelius @BrettButtliere I’m also convinced that the culture the early adopters have established won’t just be undone, especially because it isn’t centrally lead: we are social animals and we take behavioural cues from people whose community we join.

[Matias Piipari (@[email protected]) @mz2]

@Villavelius @BrettButtliere I do think there are some intentional differences that also contribute: there’s the CWs and codes of conduct in specific community servers, there’s no algorithmic mechanism to make discord a loud trend in front of Everyone, there’s server level ban threat to guide moderators.

Hey!!

In case you didn't know, we're on Mastodon as well

@dewpointsounds @valhalladsp I have not found a server specifically either (perhaps https://t.co/Ho8uv0EQN4?), but there’s plenty of conversation on relevant topics (some of it identifiable by hash tags).

[Matias Piipari (@[email protected]) @mz2]

@odarriba We can also use https://t.co/4VE7eOidmf at least for now but it’s only funny if you have a fairly cynical sense of humour.

@jani_penttinen @Setok Charitable, but no. Quite obviously manbaby’s foul play. Pretty insane really.

The .com is just a straightforward DNS A record pointing at the .org, owner for both domains is the same (perfectly legit Twitter competitor) company.

@dagams @schmittlauch @JedMSP 🤣 The edgy town square with all the free speech

[Matias Piipari (@[email protected]) @mz2]

@klausenhauser I like open things too. You’ll find all my papers and assoc source open from back when I did that 😊 My point is, and I think you understand this, an exclusive server for Austrian cat navel scientists on Mastodon can talk with anyone else, server choice has 0 to do with openness.

[Matias Piipari (@[email protected]) @mz2]

@BonfieldJames @klmr @aylwyn_scally I’m with you, similarly a sort of serendipity dial of how sensitively to reach outside my self chosen connections would be lovely a form of control. Willing to bet you’ll see neither of these here though, and most likely they’ll land in an open source, hacking friendly place.

[Matias Piipari (@[email protected]) @mz2]

@klmr @BonfieldJames @aylwyn_scally Fast forward to today and one’s feed is full of noise from 2nd order connections if people one follow have actually moved to post on the other site 🙃

[Matias Piipari (@[email protected]) @mz2]

@jcarlsonma @JedMSP @punishedmatcha @Forever_Wario Indeed, I guess time will tell. It seems plausible that community driven moderation, ability to (not) federate specific servers, and the technical limits all direct towards more considerate behaviour.🤞

[Matias Piipari (@[email protected]) @mz2]

@aylwyn_scally @BonfieldJames I think M*sk said some of the most troubling things himself in public (see https://t.co/Yzo5B7OANy though I guess that’s already history given how well the prerequisite to this plan worked 🙃). Incompetence leading to desperate monetisation is enough, no evil grand plan needed.
