@trurl I like it, but I don't think it does count. I want a conversation that takes place "entirely in blog posts", rather than blog posts followed by short comments, if that makes sense?
@maya Webmention is good, but I don't think it attempts to solve the abuse problem, which personally I think is pretty severe / hard.

Theorem: You should make a better pingback

Proof:

1. It would be better if discussions happened in 500-3000 word chunks
2. Partly that doesn't happen is that blogs don't encourage discussion
3. The "pingback" was one idea for solving that
4. But the pingback is ripe for abuse

@mpt I think you make some very interesting points. Probably the best approach, if you have infinite time, is to try to write things in many different ways?

(That anecdote about the historian is hilarious!)

@marick ummmm, a reply I apparently forgot to attach to the thing I was replying to (will delete!)
@GrapheneOS I'd love to hear your thoughts on the coming "high friction sideloading" process. I assume Graphene can just not do this. But do you think the F-droid ecosystem will remain healthy?

I am not someone who enjoys IT nightmares. But I switched to Graphene six months ago. And...

Everything works. Installation was ~20 minutes clicking boxes on a webpage. I've encountered zero bugs or difficulties.

And instead of constant dark patterns to trick me into sending my data, everything is the opposite. It's shocking to be treated with such "respect".

We all want something that's as sleek as FAANG technology without the rough edges common with free software. Graphene is it.

@emily I feel like they could have easily had *no* side-loading (or only using a computer+cable) and totally gotten away with it. So relative to my expectations this seems like a pretty good outcome!
@surprisetalk i insist you send me the instructions BY MAIL

Folks on HN are NOT buying Google's new process for side-loading apps on Android. As far as I can tell it's just a one-time 24-hour waiting period. Which... really isn't that bad?
