@davidrevoy I hadn't noticed the paintings in the background before this time-lapse, that's such a nice touch 😆.

@Whidou regarding the images in the back (freenode …): did you notice that the Founder of Freenet recently decided to use the name Freenet for his new non-privacy-related crypto-contract system?

We had to rename to #HyphaNet due to that.

@davidrevoy

Hyphanet

Hyphanet is a peer-to-peer platform for censorship-resistant communication and publishing.

@ArneBab @Whidou @davidrevoy I'm still annoyed about name takeover, primarily because some of the primitives provided by Locutus and Hyphanet are very different (CRDT-likes vs SSKs) and taking over the name is bound to cause confusion, especially with old documentation floating around.
@Parnikkapore yes — and with old articles and even the past years lectures I gave about distributed systems.
@Whidou @davidrevoy
@davidrevoy I love these so much. So many things I care about all wrapped up in one. Art, freedom, technology. Thank you.

@davidrevoy

I hope, someone will show this to Elmo.

Brilliant!

@davidrevoy énorme encore une fois
@davidrevoy wow, that one’s great!
@davidrevoy The people of the future, on the decentralized, anticommercial web, will have to study about the brief phase where there were only centralized and monetized platforms which will be a concept so foreign and ridiculous to them

@ErikUden @davidrevoy Tbh, that's how I feel about the idea of AOL Desktop v.s. just using a web browser 😳

So this scenario could very well be the case, if Mastodon pulls through and becomes ever-more popular 😮

@ErikUden @davidrevoy I think decentralized social networks should get government funding. That is some good use of taxpayer money. I think it's comparable to building roads, it's infrastructure.
@davidrevoy Every time you make these it's just so incredibly well done. I laughed out loud seeing Google+ in the background 🤣. Amazing work as always!
@davidrevoy I have the impression that they are in constant panic :D https://framapiaf.org/@davidrevoy/110667473958287668

@bloodywing Haha 😆 Yes, now you tell it, it is a recurrent pattern. I need to stop depicting this tiny group in panic mode.
@davidrevoy @bloodywing you could depict them celebrating arrival and inclusion of new members, e.g. the GoToSocial sloth (when that project is mature enough for your taste).

@zatnosk That's a good idea! I'll wait mainly feedback about this last interrogation I had an hour ago here https://framapiaf.org/@davidrevoy/110807949966344541 .

@[email protected] For sure, I'm going to try to make it soon. I'm curious to know the gender of the mascot. Him/Her or They? Can you tell us, @[email protected] ? (and btw, cool design)

@davidrevoy Fine, fine, I'll up my Patreon. Great work!
@davidrevoy
Trop fort, vraiment...
Magnifique, merci!
@davidrevoy Dark.... But clever! The little blue feather is a subtle touch 👌🏼🪶
@davidrevoy this may be my favourite take on this horrible logo 😅
@davidrevoy
Jeder nur ein Kreuz.
One cross each.

@davidrevoy

Excellent, jusqu'au détails des tableaux sur les murs de la pièce.
Bravo 👏

@AntoineVe Merci d'avoir vue ces détails ☺️

@davidrevoy

Wow
dérangeant là comme ça à froid.
Très joli hein, mais dérangeant 😅

@nartagnan Merci. Oui, j'avoue que passer quelques heures à bosser l'anatomie du squelette de l'oiseau était aussi un chouillat macabre pour mon dimanche 😅

@davidrevoy I really love the details that there are MySpace, freenode, Google+ and orkut in this museum too ❤️

And it looks like the big blue bird was fighting for its life for a long time.

It is emotional and really deep. I love it!

Keep up the good and impressive work 💪

@utopify_org Thanks for spotting all the details on the background's paintings. 👍

@davidrevoy So you predict that X will die. I think Musk by making weird changes and rebranding will just kill off Twitter. It may end up as it was with Google+ (whose functionality I liked), or it will remain just a medium for militant politicians, which also means the end.

#mastodon #twitter #x

@darekpages My illustration is not about the end of X but the murder of Twitter by X and so, the end of Twitter.

I left Twitter in April and when I announced it you could still see some warm feelings , especially in my illustration of the moment ( https://www.davidrevoy.com/article964/goodbye-blue-bird , ) .

But now with the rebranding, I really feel the place I knew between 2010 to 2023 with all I learned on it is definitely changed and so, Tw belong to the museum of G+, Orkut, Freenode and Myspace (I was on the four).

Goodbye Blue Bird.

@davidrevoy I see. The most, worst thing is that different social media actually fight each other, different communication protocols make the user exclusive. The lack of this universality of communication precludes exchange between them. I heard there's a new medium in the making: Blue something, similar to Mastodon. Lovely illustration! But disturbing, sad.
@darekpages You probably refer to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bluesky_Social ; but there is nothing similar to Mastodon in it. As far as I can see, it's proprietary, with investors, so expect it will get monetized aggressively by adv, data mining, or anything like that after a free period that will serve only to bring in the Bluesky boat the new adopters and an audience.

@davidrevoy @darekpages what dis, i have no brins todae i am tomat: https://github.com/bluesky-social/pds
GitHub - bluesky-social/pds: Bluesky PDS (Personal Data Server) container image, compose file, and documentation

Bluesky PDS (Personal Data Server) container image, compose file, and documentation - bluesky-social/pds

GitHub

@potatoxel It's a partial proprietary code dump; and mostly a bash script that downloads from a distant server an environment or executable run as sudo. 🤢 The repo also has no License mentioned 🤢 , so certainly not something Free/Libre.

Conclusion: mmm ... Yes. I had a doubt at first, but this is the smell of corporate 💩

😺

But I'm an artist, not an expert. I'm surprised that just a Github repository is enough nowadays to ethic-FLOSS-bleach any project.

@darekpages

@davidrevoy @darekpages i didnt look at repo properly im very very tired.
@davidrevoy Youre probably right. From what I've heard so far, its from some guy on Twitter. There are suggestions that this guy is not affiliated with Twitter. It could be a corporate war.
@davidrevoy Amazing 💙 I just hope that GoToSocial sloth will join them at some point ^^
@shine Hey, I hope too! The sloth is really cool. I know it is under CC-By-Sa ( src https://codeberg.org/superseriousbusiness/gotosocial#image-attribution-and-licensing ); I'm just waiting for maybe just meeting more GoToSocial instances around me and see how the project is popular. Thanks for the reminder!
gotosocial

Fast, fun, small ActivityPub server.

Codeberg.org
@davidrevoy I see it more and more on personal instances (like mine), it's a great fit for those ^_^

@shine For sure, I'm going to try to make it soon.

I'm curious to know the gender of the mascot. Him/Her or They? Can you tell us, @Anna ? (and btw, cool design)

@davidrevoy @shine Thanks! But I think we need @dumpsterqueer to answer this question 
@Anna @shine @dumpsterqueer Thanks, I just had an answer from @tobi about it ( asked by @zatnosk on antoher thread, ref: https://framapiaf.org/@[email protected]hnology/110808412218181460 ) ; but I'll wait validation by @dumpsterqueer too. 🙂
@davidrevoy @Anna @shine @dumpsterqueer @tobi @zatnosk extra validation from another gts team member here. 😅
@davidrevoy I’m really enjoying this series.
@davidrevoy this needs to be a gif with with Jurassic Park theme
@brucehankins 😆 I'll only accept the melodica version https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-w-58hQ9dLk

@davidrevoy I really love this painting! It conveys what I've been feeling about Twitter as of late...

It's not the same as it once was and it just feels empty...

I'm so grateful for opensource, I would feel really lost without it! ;;o;;

@davidrevoy I'm just now noticing the photos in the background… Google+ and freenode hit close to home (the former because I followed a lot of Android engineers there, the latter because I'm involved in some open source projects who had migrate from freenode to Libera Chat/etc).

Overall, well done! And, sadly, I suspect this museum will continue to grow.
