I would guess that at least some library software would have the ability to track maintenance needs or at leat damage state. But yeah, maybe not the periodic stuff.

Oh. That sounds less like a library and more like a hire service.

I guess you only really need to be able to add pictures, maybe a barcode, and time tracking, right? None of that’s book specific.

Most by number of users, I’d guess.

I’m on mastodon.social, and basically never see threads posts.

Australia.

I would argue that global wages and conditions should be better, in which case Aus (and even more so the US) could more easily compete.

I suspect the distributed moderation will help in the long run too.

Most of the core mastodon servers haven’t blocked threads…

1. Disruption: Probably ethics? I mean, I know big global businesses barely have any, but they do care about their reputation somewhat. Anyone running a botnet to destroy small/medium fediverse servers would be discovered fairly quickly, I suspect. Nothing is going to stop AI training scraping outside of regulation, I suspect.

2. Ads are enshittification. Federation is defense against it, because it prevents vendor lock-in and allows migration while maintaining your network effect. Threads already tried to join, and nearly nothing of theirs gets through. I’m on a mainstream mastodon service that doesn’t block threads, and I’ve seen a threads post only once or twice. Threads can’t display their add on my service, so there’s no incentive for them to push content.

There is!

Maybe we should do a bit more of our own manufacturing anyway. Globalised supply chains are a fucking stupid idea, considering climate change.

True! Thanks for the learning opportunity :)

Hah, yeah, OK. Garbage.

That’s hilarious. I’m guessing it would end up about as structurally sound as this

Mm… Depends. What was the rest of the text? If it was democrat campaigning, then yeah, fuck off. If it was using whatever voice they have to say something useful, then maybe good?

Ah, that explains it, thanks! It’s a cool looking script!

Hrm, I guess… But it’s the 23rd most spoken language globally… Nearly 90 million speakers, and I don’t think I’ve even seen the alphabet until now. I feel like I’ve seen lots of posts from less populous languages…

How TF is this the first time I’ve ever seen a Tagalog post on the internet? And also why is there no good translator?

No amount of protectionism will ever dent our dominance of the spider market.

Fair, but the full extent hasn’t panned out yet, and might take a little while.
