Are there any fediverse apps where the bulk of the processing, the rendering, and the authoritative datastore are all on the client? In other words, where the server does almost nothing but forward messages to clients and other servers, and minimizes storage on the server?

This structure seems necessary for a privacy-centric app, in order to minimize how much a user needs to trust their own server and possibly other servers. E2ee will help a lot, but it would be even better if servers didn't store who all our follows and followers are, for example.

Just brainstorming on how to get to a fediverse app with good privacy. I wrote a non-AP app like this with a simple UI, but I'd much rather take an existing fediverse app with a well-developed UX and modify it as needed. So that's what I'm looking for.

Thanks for any ideas!

Some time ago i was wondering about what the Mandelbrot set would look like if you used split-complex numbers \((j^2=1)\) instead of regular complex numbers. Turns out it's BORING. It's a SQUARE. Some points do still exhibit some interesting behavior when iterated, which is nice at least.

For your edification, the most common form factor of floppy disks:

5¼ inch (no metal door thing)
3½ inch (the one the save icon was modeled after)

There were also 8 inch (used before 1980s mainly), and various not very successful 3 inch, 2½ inch and 2 inch formats.

Note that while the form factor might have been the same, a lot of diskettes aren't mutually software compatible between systems.

There's physical sub-formats (e.g. one sided, hard sectors, varying supported densities due to magnetic properties etc.) too.

I never noticed this until today. At the very very end of our Q&A session, the Cooper Hall editors intentionally overlaid this specific song with this specific lyric, where the fair use song cutoff time limit makes a dramatic point: "without love..." (end video) "where would you be right now?" 💛 youtube.com/watch?v=ouwlIHkXCw

(the embed is weird, ☝️click the link ☝️ instead)
