They have a pattern of trying something and seeing how far they can get. Then they’ll say it was an oversight or a joke.
Someone recently called it similar to “reconnaissance in force” by the military – you go out with an uncommitted force and learn from the kind of resistance you get so you can be more effective.
The point is “mistakes” like these are not benign, or at least should not be treated as benign, since we can’t ever really know for sure.
What is it like, reading Lemmy on Mastodon? Is it like one post with many replies? Or do they nest like in Lemmy?
I don’t quite understand – does this feature let you resize the window again to the size you want, and you are still sharing the same fingerprint with everyone else? Or do you still have to keep the browser window the default size to minimize your unique fingerprint?
Right
Not at all the same thing. There was tons of evidence and theory that vaccines were safe, and the consequences of not using them were very high.
And they also have a theoretical basis for their hypothesis. You don’t have to have 100% experimental proof about something to take initial action, especially to avoid harm.
This is not the same thing, as the other comment explains.
Laptops not designed for Linux sometimes have weird hardware problems – someday I will buy a computer specifically built for Linux so everything works – either that or get an old thinkpad and just live with it being slow.
Does location data get stored on their servers or elsewhere?
Why does it do this?
PS grateful for this option!
Yes he did
Will be one major barrier removed. I hope people will like these safer quote toots
True but also slightly more friction to get back to the original account – have to search them instead of just click
This gives some hope. One thing I liked was the class updated each year. In the 2015 class, David Malan tore a phone book in half as a demonstration of search algorithms, but moved on after phone books became a distant memory.
While Yale shifts to more specialized computer science introductory courses, David Malan, who teaches CS50 at Harvard, will focus on a new partnership with the University of Oxford. However, Malan looks back on his partnership with Yale as a “perfect proof of concept” that higher education can be more collaborative.
I didn’t know that was the entire point of self hosting. Some people want to self host things for the public, like a website or game server.
There is a program called “yunohost” to simplify this process.
Maybe a VPS is better for website hosting but some people want to self host.
Like Galileo the way they cross Religion.
They must exist on a spectrum.
The “Have I been Pwned” guy seems pretty hinged, but IDK if bro. Perhaps a mensch?
I think it also depends what software your client is on, mastodon, Lemmy, go-to social, etc. some pull more things than others.
But in general ActivityPub federation is more “Publish/Subscribe” than “ingest firehose” (a la Bluesky).
Isn’t it run by one of those unhinged tech bros?
One thing I did recently was search mastodon for some “normal” topics like fashion and yoga, but I didn’t find much.
The nice thing about Mastodon and ActivityPub is that they’re designed for the long run, and don’t need profits to be successful. So they can have slow growth year over year and still survive and slowly build up a user base that gradually adds more and more topics to attract more people.
