I just have no idea of how to reply a message in a mailing list. Does anyone here use a mailing list?

Mastodon Tips:
1. You can send a DM by clicking the little globe and switching it to "direct"
2. You can set a content warning on toots, which makes their text hidden until the reader chooses to expand it
3. You can use the connections you form on here to make lifelong friendships and seize the means of production

btw, if anybody want to give it a look, here's the project: github.com/PedroAlvesV/LuaMidi

Like, ok, I knew MIDI was an awesome protocol, but I haven't really worked with it (internally). It's so minimalistic, yet, so powerful.

I've been working on a MIDI writer in Lua. I actually didn't think it was going to be such a great learning process.

Dear fellow users. Please be patient with the people creating Mastodon and GNU Social.

Writing software takes time, and the teams working on these applications are very small.

Most of them are also wearing many hats. Some are students, others have full time non-Mastodon jobs. Some admin instances in addtion to writing code.

The Twitter kitchen probably has more people working in it than the entire . Please adjust your expectations accordingly! 😄

All value comes from labour.

Productive labour:
Farming, factory work, extracting natural resources, scientific research, creating art etc

Non-productive labour (maintenance):
Nursing, domestic labour, caring for others, cleaning, education, performing songs, maintaining systems such as computer networks and electrical grid etc

^Both create and maintain a world for humans in a concrete way.

Not labour:
Investment banking, profit from interest, accumulation of capital etc

^Contribute nothing

Things that are ok:

* Masto becomes super popular and kills Twitter.
* Masto remains a small niche place for an audience that is queer and weird and nazis are banned.
* The working class seizes the means of production and a centralized solution meant to serve the people is instituted, a Twitter driven not by profitability but for the public good.

remember that dude who climbed trump tower because he loved trump. holy shit real life is so dumb

This Pepsi ad issue is a so complete feedstock to explain the capitalist agenda and how it/they can (and do) make profit of our deaths... However, I'm not in the mood of doing so and many people had already done and their explanation is probably better than mine.

the best thing about being a marxist is you can blame capitalism for pretty much anything bad in your life and you're never wrong
