Looks like Flatpak discovery will move from one mostly generally accepted hub to a gazillion of repos since the performative LLM complaints have befallen the possible single hub. (Partially half-understandable arguments, partially performative fluff for my taste)
Which is ok as it triggers competition that might lead to better outcomes. (bazaar vs cathedral and all, rite? 😏 )
And removes a possible single point of failure.Now what I'd like to see is an approach that does discovery of those repos and enables search across those repos without a single point of failure. As e.g. a single, centrally hosted index for repos to register to would be.
Flatpak already uses a reverse-dns-namespace structure internally. Anything that would leverage that? Wouldn't help with enumeration though.
Something something DHT/Gossip/...? (as the cool thing from the past)
Clearly a problem that will arise with more of the expectable decentralized systems that need uniform discovery and search.
What's the Fedis wisdom on current academic approaches that might be interesting around this?
Or bastardized routing tech, yet another idea on how to twist DNS into a pretzel, etc? Dare I say: Blockchain (as the unpopular thing before the LLMs 🤣 )Throw you best Arxiv posts etc. at me. I'm just curious about the state-of-the-art techn for now, all smirk and sarcasm aside.

a friend of mine who draws nsfw human/fantasy art is looking to join Mastodon, can you recommend an instance for them please? boosts welcome. they said that kinkycats is almost perfect but they wish it had a stronger anti-ai stance.

Just saw that quote of a quote of a quote of a quote of a quote that eventually lead to 2 blog post nonsense on here, which is exactly what I came here to avoid. I don’t understand why people think that is a good user experience. At least when I quote I dive past all the quote of a quote of a quote of a quote nonsense to bring you the original toot or include all the blog post links. I don’t really understand why other users think this is a superior experience then just sharing links to the original blog entries themselves. If I quote anybody on hear, it is with the utmost intention, paying attention to where the trail of 99quotes leads, and what information is provided, and what information is left out. #FediMeta #Fediverse

RE: https://sunny.garden/@NovemDecimal/116779162985369948
Going to delay-boost this post because I still wonder about it and it was posted in a really bad timing. Yeah, in the form of quote because Mastodon doesn't have the ability to do a delayed boost.
I should have scheduled this post in the first place instead of posting at midnight. Right now, it's still too early to self-boost now but I kind of want to get this out of the way so I don't have to think about bumping this post.
