  • I like learning new tech too, but if we’re being realistic then we have to admit that the fediverse will not grow unless we spoon feed it to people. Maybe we don’t want it to grow that much. That’s a conversation we could have. But we should acknowledge that there are tradeoffs here

  • Yes but the extent to which they'd go to oppose the Soviets even on trivial matters seems silly

  • How come in American classrooms they make another language an elective. Why not teach our kids as many languages possible that way if we go somewhere we will kind of have uper hand?

  • Okay. I didn’t realize that’s how it worked over there. Thanks for sharing.

  • Interesting, I didn’t know that

  • So in high school languages are just an elective, not a requirement?

  • I see. That’s a little surprising to me. I didn’t realize that there is basically no language education there

  • Well, if we had these aboard the International Space Station or a spaceship, we could simply choose to crank the heat down in the computer room. Might actually save energy in that case.

  • There you go. So I think adding DMs to ActivityPub would add an extra level of convenience

  • That’s a distinction that only matters to nerds.

    Luckily most of us on here are nerds so it’s all good.

  • Matrix is not really integrated into the ActivityPub protocol the same way DMs usually are. I would have to open a separate application to message you on Matrix, I can’t just click on your profile and shoot you a DM (or can I?).

  • I didn’t know that. Either way it seems a bit odd that the CIA would care so deeply about matters of artistic taste

  • Do you guys not have any language classes in the public school system at all in the US? Not trying to be rude I just dont know how things work there

  • Same experience for me. Once in highschool (at an English speaking school) you could choose to branch off from French and learn either Spanish or Japanese (or all the above) if you wanted to.

  • Do Americans really not learn any other languages in school? I was under the impression that Spanish lessons were part of the public school system down there. I’m not trying to be rude I’m genuinely asking

  • Abstract expressionism (ie modern art) was actually pushed by the CIA as well (source), though the motivation in this case is murkier

  • These are good ideas. Hopefully something like that happens one day. In addition to events it would be nice if there were more in-person groups (eg for a class or local community group) that chose to connect online primarily through the Fediverse. You see that kind of thing happening with Discord. It would be good if we could do something similar here.
