"Most mobile connections are still 2G or 3G. The Web overall is getting slower. JavaScript is the most expensive asset. We are drowning in JavaScript. What we make matters." - @slightlyoff telling it how it is. Remember to set performance budgets, folks! ???? #SamsungCreate

@paul this is damn scary! thanks!

@paul oh, I didn't know about Facebook buying credit data.

Link?

@lain I am thinking of eating a breakfast myself.

> looks at the clock, 12:37PM

Yeah, breakfast sounds good.

@lain (by issue I mean stuff like harddrive starting to fail, etc; I've had perhaps one network issue that affected me within the last 3 years)

@lain I've had pretty good experience with Hetzner so far. Running a couple dozen servers there, nice and stable, and when there is an issue they're open about it and fix it quick.

Would recommend.

@simon_brooke my favorite example: https://www.cyberscoop.com/critical-vulnerability-hits-microsoft-malware-protection-engine/

What valuable metadata are you withholding from the global megacorporations today?

Keep it up

@paul this! So very much this!

This is missing from these discussions all the time, perhaps because it's one of the less obvious (but more sinister) issues with the Microfacegoopple.

Everyone should at one point or another run Mozilla Lightbeam:

@taziden yeah, they're on fire. Since the WaPo article went out they gained 2 more.

Still, I would not underestimate this. They should have 0 followers. Any number of followers they have means there are deeper problems (income inequality, people not being able to get out of precariat, etc) that need to be solved.

@elomatreb I think both are true, both are important to make note of.

The "alt-right is collapsing" narrative, if true (and I have no reason to believe it's not true) brings hope. That's helpful.

Obviously that's not solving the deeper problem, and WaPo article notes that:

“The overall level of racism in U.S. society hasn’t improved, it’s just that the organizing space for these types of networks (...) So the latent potential won’t go away unless society becomes less racist.”

@sungo I've been saying this for years.

We need ActivityPub for issues and PRs in GitLab and others:
https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/44486

We need to self-host. We need truly decentralized stuff like GitTorrent:
https://github.com/cjb/GitTorrent

And we need package managers that don't create a single point of failure, like gx:
