@rysiek The real fun* will be bringing an old site up to a version of the distribution that they still release patches for. Assuming that is even an option.

@atax1a @esvrld or he *claims the credit*, which may not be the same

@scottjenson @mekkaokereke I'd want an algorithm that's the opposite: show me posts that no one has boosted or liked. Lots of times I see good people trying to engage and being ignored. Maybe because of the non-universal visibility across the Fediverse, I dunno.

@futurebird Uh oh, you've touched off my horology nerd systems.

I've definitely thought about this, although I usually think about it with at least a $35 Chinese wrist watch movement. The modern "dollar watch" pocket watch movements like you are talking about are pretty darn crude.

Comparing a modern watch movement to, say, an 18th century movement, the modern ones are a marvel of precision miniaturization, but they hold nothing on the intricate beauty of the plates and bridges on the older ones. By the late 19th and early 20th century ones, they are remarkably similar to modern ones. Other than materials and machining improvements, the only really large design changes on a typical watch are the shock resistant jewel mounts and the automatic rotor systems.
