I wear a jacket that is now structurally reliant on the random patches I have sewn on over the years... and it still looks like shit... but it has a pocket that once held a jug of wine while I saw Prodigy in Paris, and no new jacket can replace that

Largely similar to what you have, but abstracting away the metalware and reframing as human-centric.

If the user is at the center, surrounded by more users, making primary & secondary connections, in an approximate circle shape. You can then show traditional social media owners as wedges of that circle, containing (owning) a fraction of the users & preventing connection to others, vs. Fedi that lets you connect to everyone.

I'd say these fall into the same trap that most fediverse explainers fall into — too focused on implementation details, not the experience. The average FB user thinks they're connecting to friends directly, not really considering the system architecture that powers it.

I'd like a graphic that shows how centralised media blocks connections to others outside thier walled garden.

Yes, top advice. These are clear, but I still don't like to take chances with old things from unknown sources. Always rubber up!

The guy I got them from said he'd pulled them up from an old church. Admittedly less dull, but the weeks I've spent working on these have been painful

 

I'm 47.5% done and averaging 5.5 minutes per block

You've just got to do what works for you. I use a yeast I've kept from a bottle of live beer, put 10% semolina in the dough mix, and use blood sausage, apple & preserved chilis for toppings. No rules at my house

  • Touch screen
  • Bluetooth control via proprietary app
  • AI, for reasons
