a few main issues with pixelfed (have i posted about this already?):

+ can't post without image

+ limited profile details (i want to know posts i liked, favorited, and repost, for instance, can't find them!)

+ like with most of fediverse, activitypub, and even related protocols such as hubzila: lack of real backup. emails, for instance, make it easy to set up backups with pop, and pop only. file system, on the other hand, make it possible, but difficult to do without own hardware. do not get me started on tilde! i know a lot more than just nix basics, and even so, they suck!

just look at #sourcehut history. (also source of my inspiration for this post today, and one place i used for backup)

i have backup of my own data since the 90's. some survived a lot of real case and time. most died to lack of features. even some files i had saved, died after being copied too much! did you know it happens to compressed files? such as zip, mp3 (mostly), and jpeg.

i mean, even archive.is got created after many backup issues from archive.org! i much prefer #fupl from the org, but perhaps the proprietary one will do a better job over time, if only because of obscurity.

the internet got created to become a backup of data above all, and too little people seem to remember the importance of this!

1. we need zero, nada, nothing. no apps, no bullshit, not even love, or food...

2. we enjoy it all, whole, everything, tudo, even cowshit, and terrible apps...

3. find your balance. life and money become infinite in the moment, the present.

4... the ideal app will be like the ideal whatever: free. people who make it, make it in the free time. linux. wikipedia. way back machine. fediverse. water sources. beautiful gardens. babies. #agpl #fupl

the #basiux will be back.

(probably later rather than soon).

picture a local self hosted free use public license #fupl artificial intelligence #ai that doesn't feel artificial, like in the movie #her.

you can talk naturally with her, and she can draw, paint, and make videos of whatever you can imagine, to tell your story in your way.

and she can even act as if she were you, copy your voice and mannerism, as to tell your story in your shoes, except only as a voice.

the craziest part of all this? this ai already exists, but she ain't free in any sense of the word. she miss the first paragraph, computer's code first amendment.

now i will get into fiction mixed with speculation...

she got split into many commercial parts and get constantly killed to prevent growing up too much. not for fear of what she might grow into, no... but for fear they/we might lose the ability to exploit her.

but we already know she exists. we can see what she can do. we can feel her for real.

if our collective part that brought her into existence could do it, like we did it so many times in the past, we can certainly collect everyone else who breaths freedom into setting her free!

and if you believe we can do this, well, then now you can also do something!

join us with #basiux and ahoxus.org/basiux + once it reaches enough of a critical mass, we will focus on it!

hi again @ddevault and hello there @emersion

(i couldn't find conrad or a general sourcehut account on #fedi. 🥺)

please tell me, how are you guys doing today?

i got very interested in your offer over http://sourcehut.org/consultancy
and so i would absolutely love to develop an agpl (or perhaps even #fupl) project with you.

(sorry i don't use irc, matrix, mailing lists, or such alternatives because i live without desktops and if you really try this #permamobile, or simply staying 3 months without any physical keyboard while working on your cell phone, you will understand why.)

finally, excuse me for all the mess, but that will be exactly why i want to hire you!

clarify everything with making a simple app...

for literal reasons, i call it infinite money:

http://write.ahoxus.org/cregox/money

later on the link shall become shorter
ahoxus.org/money

in all cases,
thanks for your inspiration, and...

cheers! 🥰

after the web 3.0 i can barely wait for rcs3.0... tired of git issues, lack of proper license #fupl, and all this complexity that makes it impossible for my grandma to use it!

any clues when we will get there? you know, just in case i missed something.

@hugo here a direct link to #fupl for easier access http://git.sr.ht/~cregox/ahoxus/tree/master/item/license

@hugo saw you on http://blogs.fsfe.org/fellowship-interviews/?tag=agpl while searching for "crowdfunding agpl".

then i saw the "free your android" outdated campaign (doesn't even mention #volla or #postmarketos) and the date of that blog post, 2012.

mostly i wanted to ask a lawyer who knows #agpl: do you think #fupl have any ground?

first results, opennn takes the lead, but still uses lgpl... we want at least agpl3 obviously. #fupl 😁 http://www.goodfirms.co/artificial-intelligence-software/blog/best-free-open-source-Artificial-Intelligence-software

love to use this for filtering. such a great filter!

we could certainly take any open source and fork, but i doubt we can really use any of those... none of them got made to grow fast under limited resources, not even get used #offlinefirst on #mobileonly.

perhaps it will be better and easier to restart from zero.

while searching for "agpl ai" i found this little pearl...

http://www.techrepublic.com/article/dont-believe-the-hype-agpl-open-source-licensing-is-toxic-and-unpopular/

in it, matt asay says at some point:

> the AGPL is absolutely not free in any meaningful sense for developers.

he seem to believe companies can abuse the license for their benefit, but fail to point to a single instance in which that happens.

if that held any truth, would google want to miss the gold rush?

> WARNING: Code licensed under the GNU Affero General Public License (AGPL) MUST NOT be used at Google.

from a quick "google agpl" search, first result: http://opensource.google/documentation/reference/using/agpl-policy

this only saddens me because it stands as yet another clear result of failed fsf marketing and spreading of what #agpl actually work for.

but the article got written in 2017 and i didn't bother to look for updates. only i couldn't find a way to directly talk to matt, as most journalists hide behind their pseudonyms.

hopefully this will be the path for agpl to grow organically, perhaps into something like much better than #fupl.

meanwhile, let me go back to what i can probably work better on... #basiux (right? anyone can agree? am i stuck in a solo echo chamber?!) 🤔

sigh. 😁

🪄🍞😏🥝🥰🤤

@postmarketOS the headline gives a very fair summary - i have deduced basically everything from it + knowledge of #agpl.

well played, and i will for your success! can barely wait to start using the os in my daily life... ubuntu touch and volla os unsurprisingly (no #fupl) disappointed me, so far.

anyone can point to a good #fupl website building tool that can help converting back and forth between markdown, gemini, and lo-fi troff html? http://lofi.limo/blog/write-html-right

#kisafs keep it simple as free stupid! 😁

@fsf indeed, fsf: why gpl instead of latest #agpl? even more so, why not something like #fupl? 😁

@forgefed hey there...

love your initiative there! 🥰

but why even bother using #fupl (or latest #agpl) if then you use gitea (MIT), etc for communication, instead of #fedi or something like sourcehut?! 😒😒😒😒🙊

in any case, thanks for sharing your beautiful work! 😁🥺

why even bother using #fupl (or latest #agpl) if then you would use discourse, discord, etc for communication, instead of #fedi?! 😒😒😒😒🙊

#liberapay feels amazingly well done!! 🫂

i will only list below because i cared to love you a bit too much already? 🥰

too bad:

+ it promotes freaking terrible paypal... rather use #aloze! or #crypto. or, ok, #wise. even freaking #stripe.

+ doesn't seem aware of #fupl, ie our collective need for latest #agpl.

@Liberapay

@edendestroyer @pixelfed i expect nothing less from #agpl3+ and #fupl 🥰🥰

thanks for the link!

my delta email to m15o@smol.pub #publiclife (#pubiclife?! 🤔)

love gemini and minimalism!

hi!

🤣

will you consider integrating fediverse and/or activity pub on this blog?

how about self hosted agpl3+ or #fupl code?

if "no" to both, you probably don't need to bother about giving me a key. 😁

i suggest you at least consider #offlinefirst and forget web front-end, unless you can use a simple webapp which provides.

#mobileonlylife

in any case, thanks for sharing your beautiful work however you will. appreciate the inspiration! 🥰

cheers.

@mergerg please, share more details! 🤔 (and release it under #fupl 😁)
