  • The way I perceive PRQL is somewhat like SQLAlchemy-Core (the SQL expression layer, not the ORM). Almost a 1:1 mapping to SQL but softening the rough edges in SQL when constructing more complex queries dynamically, in particular: no function calls, no real variables, only string concatenation. While SQLAlchemy-Core lets you even extract sub-queries into variables, I don’t know about how powerful PRQL is in this regard.

    From what I see from the docs I’m rather hopeful though.

    While you may dismiss Zuckerberg as delusional, he’s shown a talent for using others’ ideas and making them profitable under Facebook. The success of Instagram and WhatsApp is proof. Google+ is nowhere to be seen anymore.

    As for Mastodon, underestimating Meta’s potential threat, particularly federating with Mastodon (this can be seen as “easy hosting” of something like Mastodon), might be a mistake. Even without originality, they have the resources to cause significant disruption.


  • While I might only be able to influence a few people, the act of defederating Meta will have the power to influence a lot of people to influence a lot of other people.

    Why would anyone want to recommend an App which can’t even interact with the most promising communication network in recent years?

    Federating with Meta will send the opposite message: “Yes, we endorse them. You can choose either us or them. Have fun.”

    I do not endorse them and I don’t want anybody I know of to think I do.
