After being virtually dead, it's had a lot more development over the last few years(?), with steady progress towards passing the tests and supporting the specs (including reporting spec bugs and vagueness). It's still a long way from being generally usable.
The focus is on making something that could be embeddable, although there are basic browsers using that embed. The focus seems to be on for use-cases like Electron, which doesn't need all of the web APIs.
I don't use it or contribute (yet), but I have their blog in my RSS reader and so keep an eye on it.
I liked that you didn't bring up the email comparison until fairly late - lots of people reach for it very early in their explanations, but it's so different to what the Fediverse offers that I think it just confuses people.
I raised my eyebrows clear off my head when you said that the different instances interact "seamlessly", but you did loop back and give a more nuanced/honest account. Good stuff!
I was thinking that it's now 81 mothers ago, but then I got distracted by the fact that there was no year 0AD and now I'm thinking that roughly 80 is good enough.
I decided on Symfonium as well - especially once I realised the author, Tolriq, was the same on who'd made Yatse, my favourite Kodi remote. Tolriq is an indie developer and always has very fair pricing and excellent support, so I'm happy to pay (once, per app) for a polished experience.
The way that all the copies of the content link to the original post should be some kind of SEO hack. I wonder if it's triggering specific rules in search engines that detect it and downrank it as cheating.
Or scrambled all of their posts after APIgate (or whatever we're calling it). Perhaps they came here, which means OP is right in saying we can be a new source of useful answers.
I was reading through that, waiting for them to mention marine fuel (which they do). Cleaner fuel is causing less cloud cover, so we've been accidentally geoengineering a cooler climate for a while - until we "fixed" it in 2020.
I read/watched something a few years back arguing that we should shoot sea water into the air from cargo ships to restore this beneficial effect.
I can imagine the delivery trucks being held up by locals wanting their water back. The trouble is, the people who work at the plant are the locals - as the article makes clear, some welcome Nestle et al because they want the jobs.
I think I need to spend a while watching and reading everything this guy's ever done, especially if it's in this dry, understated humour.
The old footage looked like Robot Wars if they didn't have any safety requirements.
