Having a toggleable option to get notifications from replies to your repliers, and so on, would be a lot more helpful than the microblog style of @mentioning every person above you in a chain.

I just do whatever the last attractive person who gave me advice on my appearance told me to do

I think Biden's definition of xenophobic here is "unwilling to sacrifice everything in a suicidal world war on the Pacific front"

Also these ~~people~~ lawyers are surely building large network graphs to identify p2p traffic so one might as well give them less information about where other people are seeding to or torrenting from.

Really disturbing offhand remark from OP ya

I think that's something that people should emphasize to Windows & MacOS/iOS users more, the problems are impossible for you to truly resolve, and the next update could make your program that fixes said problems obsolete, or makes it impossible to control what network traffic your computer sends entirely in order to torrent Windows Updates to other users. Linux has presented me with problems which can be solved in a variety of ways and really helpful troubleshooting resources that have a side benefit of introducing you to cute online groups of people who tend towards anti-corporate politics/incoherent left libertarian at a minimum

nice color scheme tho

Is there any way I could find out how much of Windows' desktop share is coming directly from businesses?

Maybe it will attract more development ? 🫣

Man I can barely stomach my parents relaying what they pick up by osmosis while "avoiding the news" I would have a hard time not flipping out and disowning everyone in that situation, not that you should just abdicate to fake news that way lol

It's frustrating hearing Al Gore's strongest soldier consider the possibility of space laser wildfires "just for fun", but it's to be expected and more on-brand than it appears

I'm sure we're participating in the insane Q level narrative sculpting they do in their media. I hate Indian news so much. Also especially by the tech companies which munch popcorn as the insane Hindutva pogroms you see like on the border with Bangladesh unfold thru their servuces, and want to use the country's cheap labor and poorly treated immigrant population (like from Bangladesh, as much as they act like they want to drive them out) to keep costs down on the packaging and testing side of semiconductors, and obv they have tried to enclose as much of their internet as possible worldwide like with the 2Africa cable (formerly known as Simba LOL). Silicon Valley is going to do everything possible to ensure imperial financiers have some form of enclosure of the communications infrastructure of the global south.

Mastodon also announced the five board members for the U.S. non-profit, of which two has led to some critical comments within the larger fediverse community: Twitter co-founder Biz Stone and legal advisor Amir Ghavi. Ghavi is involved in Blockchain and AI Technologies, technologies that the fediverse community is critical of, and Mastodon CEO Eugen Rochko himself is also has spoken out against. Both Ghavi and Stone are involved in the space of venture capital, which also has drawn criticism within the community, as they feel that it goes against the values of the fediverse.

A bit uneasy? This is beyond parody LMAO. Twitter co-founder? This is so incestuous. Open source projects are too often just a cargo cult built around corporate practices. Nothing surprising, but really validates the move to defederate with people who don't block Threads etc.
