He wrote, updated and maintained in-house software for managing the court system, trial documentation managements and so on using low level languages.<br/><br/>The point of this post is that there was nothing special about this period of history that made it possible for government departments to write and maintain their own software to solve their own problems then but not now. <br/><br/>The complete lack of any in-house capacity to do this kind of thing is a political choice. Frank is a reminder of that. 2026-03-01T06:38:05Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsg0jr7f23hfzmqs69kua4zvqjgyk3lkcwmad3wpq2zump2x25nd8szyrvegnkmh8td5ws6fpwd39ryu8uehe0zdm4vql9sz8e65nlr4vmhquwm0pq LB: The guys who wanted you to replace everything with a really slow database that&#39;s also public now want you to replace everything with a really inefficient search engine that sometimes just guesses. 2025-10-20T19:49:32Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqszcv2huy77ya9h80l9epk699cmcz2d99v5vzge6yvjhdrq0myn9hqzyrvegnkmh8td5ws6fpwd39ryu8uehe0zdm4vql9sz8e65nlr4vmhqpw6xhq In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsy464uq2lvx936ffy8mlwzryxw8ta4zc4wzne5h3q5c68kchgjyeqr35qud'>nevent1q…5qud</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>that&#39;s cos your seasons are back to front 😉 2025-09-30T00:08:15Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs8xuez7tf4a58xek88h5vc4rchdz6736s3fcczjr49vt27d884jjszyrvegnkmh8td5ws6fpwd39ryu8uehe0zdm4vql9sz8e65nlr4vmhqsygw0g TFW you live in Australia.<br/> <img src="https://files.ausglam.space/media_attachments/files/115/290/094/384/008/051/original/e03a88df03502d8b.png"> <br/> 2025-09-29T23:08:07Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs05mcqauxlqhzlfz6v3y8xn2xn4r4qcm2aqp3utdnysecrda77vvgzyrvegnkmh8td5ws6fpwd39ryu8uehe0zdm4vql9sz8e65nlr4vmhqpfjn65 This is classic USAmerican cultural misunderstanding from Uber Eats.<br/><br/>The entire point of the :democracysausage: democracy sausage is you buy it from the school fundraising committee at the polling booth. <br/><br/>The #DemocracySausage is a celebration of the democratic process, yes, but also more. It’s the equivalent of the American “I voted” sticker. AND just as importantly, buying the sausage at the polling booth supports the social fabric that makes up our democracy by financially supporting the school, church, scout troop etc.<br/><br/>Reducing this to a commercial transaction between an individual and an American tax evasion scheme without ever leaving the house is literally the opposite of what democracy sausages represent.<br/> <img src="https://files.ausglam.space/media_attachments/files/114/431/374/854/756/251/original/f7192d4dc76293dc.jpeg"> <br/> 2025-05-01T07:25:20Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqst6gmngpux2yczj70pnmtfz3za5f5e7u6tf03g038w2wp2au2hg5czyrvegnkmh8td5ws6fpwd39ryu8uehe0zdm4vql9sz8e65nlr4vmhqdhr50k As far as I understand, most (all?) fediverse #ActivityPub software does not use the Client-to-server protocol from the specs (<a href="https://www.w3.org/TR/activitypub/#client-to-server-interactions">https://www.w3.org/TR/activitypub/#client-to-server-interactions</a>) but rather use custom APIs instead.<br/><br/>Any fediverse devs able to explain why?

I think this could be expunged if a server admin does a full server block of that user.<br/><br/>If you resurrect the domain with new webfinger data I *think* you could kind of force an update to cached data elsewhere, but you’d have to trigger it somehow: probably by sending a signed ‘Move’ activity to all servers that have a record of that user. 2025-04-04T23:22:32Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs8k72q8j07uzwc4qqlufwplsgxy7dr2fq0x6qufs4akqffjdkuj2czyrvegnkmh8td5ws6fpwd39ryu8uehe0zdm4vql9sz8e65nlr4vmhqgdw7rr In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs8g84x72cngj0n06y78cdfd8gx725q80h3jue5l9w87zxhdsjrknctxr2cd'>nevent1q…r2cd</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>&#34;Should we have an adult conversation with the person who has done more to champion, explain and use our platform and promote our own purpose than anyone else outside the organisation?&#34;<br/><br/>&#34;Nah fuck it, just cancel his keys&#34;. 2025-02-21T01:42:58Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs29p0ehqrr2h058v43tzdl3efd8emwzea6wwdjufre7wkcwd2y2sczyrvegnkmh8td5ws6fpwd39ryu8uehe0zdm4vql9sz8e65nlr4vmhqm8pmjq In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsvkvlpqta7a02rjnpn90wcxzc6cjmf6g6hhhlg2zejsyde9rdw7uq5al73x'>nevent1q…l73x</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>were you given a reason?

But firms exist to produce things. The total money in to units of output is an obviously reasonable way to calculate the cost per unit of thing. If they spent $5M on donuts to incentivise their workers or give away in a marketing promotion, that’s still a cost of total production. If they gave 50% of the VC money to the founders in bonuses, that’s part of the total cost of running the business. 2025-02-19T21:26:22Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqst6l4jjn9lrfdtj6u900j58nfevm952xwkylf6pp3dq0m2usmgx2qzyrvegnkmh8td5ws6fpwd39ryu8uehe0zdm4vql9sz8e65nlr4vmhqt99lh5 Remember the Humane AI “pin” that was even dumber than the Juicero?
