Proposed resolution:

When Tumblr joins the fediverse by implementing ActivityPub, we should:
- Defederate Tumblr if they inject ads into the federation for our users, and
- Defederate Tumblr if they place federated posts (our posts) alongside ads.

No ads on fedi.

Edit: This is a PROPOSAL. The intent of this is not to dictate terms, but to encourage admins to develop and consider policy before the crisis happens.

But I came into this thinking that certain extremely popular frameworks should be shoveled into the recycle bin where they've always belonged, so maybe I'm not "separating the art from the artist" enough.

That said, software IS politics. If you don't think so, you're in a bubble.

I don't think that having a regrettable opinion should be necessarily disqualifying for technological leadership, but I DO think that if you've consistently published blog posts where you totally miss the point and rage against social progressivism it's fair for everyone else to question your critical thinking and logic processes and that should maybe extend to your software and business.

Just spent 4 hours trying to get a PRE-CONFIGURED server to start Mastodon and I have simply deleted the server now.

A full-time salary is barely enough to make me tolerate having to co-exist with Rails.

It's a hate crime to ship Ruby or Rails code outside of your local machine.

@thebaldgeek @Fallenstedt Happy to help if I can!

I have zero insight into aviation data, but if anything else comes up about JSON / data I'm often happy to at least peek at it!

Best of luck to you on this project!

I'm not even sure how to help you here!

My first approach would be to try to slim down what I even ingest.

e.g. if I ONLY want ACARS data, I'd get the XID and X25 data filtered out immediately, since it's just muddying the water. But if you need more than one of the different types, things are certainly going to get tricky.

@thebaldgeek @Fallenstedt Notably, the XID entries are annoying, because they contain pub_params and vdl_params, which are "just" normal dictionaries, but with the key:value pairs as individual objects in an array.

In the first Codepen I linked above, I mapped these back to dictionaries, but obviously we can't be certain about any keys even existing, since they're just delivered as lists of potential pairs.

@thebaldgeek @Fallenstedt

I rendered "everything" (just a sample of data points) in the first table, and then filtered down to just ACARS for the second, just XID for the third, and just X25 for the fourth.

If you're only interested in ACARS data, it might help a lot to do something similar, since the XID and X25 entries are both very different.

High chance I don't know what I'm talking about here, though.
