  1. How do we get "product placement" for GNUSocial or !trisquel into popular culture, in the way that things like Skype, Twitter, Facebook and the IThings get? Once, I heard a lead character mention !ubuntu in a top-rated sit-com. When things like Tor, Bitcoin, or Cryptochat are mentioned in popular stuff, they're used by criminals and investigators.

  2. # !dev The reason I propose the "read more" content break-style concept is to promote more... well, posting of content here. As an alternative to the "attach a .txt" solution that exists. It might be handy to be able to post those longer blog-post-style posts here on occasion without clogging the timeline a bunch. The specific use I'm thinking of right now is "Admin needs to get a message out to the site (say, 'Some changes are coming, here's what they are'). Message is really long. Admin wants to put message on Promoted but it'd clog up the sidebar. Solution: lead-in paragraph put behind a readmore." It'd be easier than using pastebin and other places like it for everything. It's just an idea of mine, though.

  3. I'd definitely be restyling the whole thing to match the current site aesthetic, if it did become a thing. Maybe also remove the given line-breaking ability. I've been putting some thought into that, though; maybe something along the lines of a "read more" option that would cut posts with a line break and let the full post be visible after, line breaks and all intact. I dunno how the userbase would take to it, honestly, and it might end up becoming something that doesn't get much use. It might be good for i.e. posting code snippets and such, though, particularly if the character limit was modified to only apply to content before the break. # !dev

  4. Sweet got nginx set up on my local machine. It's quite cool. :D INB4 FASTCGI/PHP EXPLODE MY DESKTOP. I need to reinstall linux on my desktop. Or remove it and get a dedicated linux box, or something. #

  5. Thinking about it, I actually wouldn't mind running a nsfw version of RDN. I've seen it all so it wouldn't bug me. Too bad any servers I own would explode if I tried that. #
