We’re not suggesting moving away from the HTTPS protocol. Gmail and other web email apps, as well as Word Online etc. still use HTTPS to communicate with their backend infrastructure. They are just registered in your browser as apps that can handle the mailto:// or ms-word:// URL schema. This registering most likely happens automatically when you have visited a page that supports the schema so fediverse:// links would continue working for Fediverse users - they’d see a prompt to open the link with their home instance’s web app (its web interface like the default web UI) or a dedicated web app they are already using like Voyager. What would need to change is just a minor thing: browsers would need to offer the default web UI of target instance as fallback: for example, even if you haven’t visited any Fediverse site yet, the link fediverse://lemmy.example.com/post/1337 will show “lemmy.example.com web interface” in the “Open with…” option list, redirecting to https://lemmy.example.com/post/1337.

The small text for accessibility:

the daddy gives the mommy a very special gift. The gift of a brother. Daddy has a penis, and Mommy has a vagina. He sticks his penis into her vagina, and Mommy has an egg. Sperm comes out of Daddy’s penis and that comes into contact with the egg. When this happens, the sperm enters the egg and it causes over time for something to develop inside Mommy. Nine months later, the gift is delivered. Timmy, this is where you came from eight years ago. Lorem ipsum […]

Yes, it’s the controversial Czech Easter whip.

The disadvantage is, Reddit and other platforms will never add support for [fediverse hyperlink](fediverse://example.com/post/1337) Markdown syntax, or even start blocking it (they can already block known Fediverse domains but there would be backlash if they did).

You wouldn’t need browser extensions to open links on your instance

App maintainers wouldn’t need to maintain lists of instances to correctly signal “I can open this” to the OS

So if your Mastodon instance just sprung up, you can just give someone a link like fediverse://masto.darkthough.ts/post/1337 and it will auto-open using the app and instance account of their choosing.

Look up what a URL schema is. Examples include https (obviously handled by your browser), ftp, mailto, ms-word etc. The mailto one is most well-known for letting you choose between in-browser (Gmail etc.) and native (Thunderbird, Outlook etc.) options on desktop and mobile. There does not need to be a formal protocol and port, it’s just a way to signal support for a kind of content via URL.

It could continue running on HTTP(S). Did you know browsers and OSs can handle different URL schemas than the ones they natively open (http, https, file, data)? Ever saw a mailto, magnet, ms-word etc. URL schema? They can be opened with an in-browser or native app of your choice, and this has worked for years. Yes, clients would need to be patched for support but that’s easy. I would only add “instance’s native UI” as a fallback for people coming from outside the fediverse.

It’s a pretty chaotic way to say

Just kidding with the last part

Windows make heavy use of the registry, which I found very cumbersome. Obviously, database systems have their own advantages and disadvantages as opposed to files but Linux is WAY cleaner, and very transparent about what executes, how and with what permissions.

In elections where there needs to be a single winner so proportional representation does not work, how about this (already works in several EU countries):

Round 1: Anyone can participate if they have enough signatures. If anyone gets the majority vote, they automatically win and there is no round 2.

Round 2, 1 or 2 weeks later: Top 2 candidates from Round 1. No votes are carried over. Popular vote wins.

This was “Slovak Trump” Andrej Babiš’s tagline. Yes, he was shit but bafflingly, he still has quite a chance of being PM again.

Yes, all Linux system files are readable text files. The only exceptions are bitmap graphics assets and the contents of /bin, /sbin, /usr/bin, /usr/sbin, /usr/local/bin etc., which is where any corrupted files go, hence the name. You can check the files, they are indeed unreadable garbage. Reminder to clean your PC’s bin directories to save disk space!
