Oh, wow. That is a frightening level of protocol ossification.
@asquare@asquare.srht.site Why “frightening”? And what does “protocol ossification” mean? Hmm 🧐
@prologic Protocol ossification means “loss of […] evolvability of network protocols.” (cf. Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protocol_ossification). Related terms: Overfitting, Hyrum’s Law https://www.hyrumslaw.com/.
@asquare@asquare.srht.site I’m not really sure I understand sorry. Can you explain it like I’m 5? 😅
@prologic Sorry, I can’t spare the time to write a sufficiently detailed ELI5 today. Already spent all of the time I budgeted for shortform blogging writing about highlighter pens.
@asquare@asquare.srht.site No worries 😌
