I wouldn’t say that the ruling class loves racism, but when the people are looking for someone to blame they’d understandably rather throw minorities under the bus than lie down themselves.

“We can be friends until the revolution. After that it gets difficult.”

Implying we aren’t

All modern motherboards support ReBAR. Not sure why you’d be against it.

Depends. But this is why businesses love Microsoft and AWS. Support in perpetuity.

Yeah, the moral high ground of Biden vs Trump is still immense, but it’s just a bit less steep than it used to be.

NixOS is like that every day for no reason

Mastodon has terrible discoverability. It feels like a ghost town. It’s just not suitable as a Twitter replacement.

Microsoft Azure already leaks secrets and nobody cares. As long as it has all required certifications it’ll be fine.

Ye thunk yer clever, huh? What with thum mushrooms and shiet?

Is this like learning that the splash from your toilet bowl sprinkles a bit of water on your toothbrush? Essentially a pure infohazard that makes tour life worse with no benefit?

Bruh. Our well had a fish living (and dying) in it for a while. The human body can handle some weird stuff.

If you use something often you learn to handle the bugs and “it just works”. If you use a product rarely then it’s not gonna work as well

That’s illegal, unfortunately. Only qccredited investors can invest into private companies. There should be a lower limit on that rule, say $100 or something, so naive investors could invest play sums in potentially shady stuff. But there isn’t, so you can’t.

Harrier Dubois, is that you?

I think it theoretically can’t be done. The protocol allows anyone to query for posts, and it has to work that way unless you want to move ActivityPub federation to an invite-only system. On most servers I think browsing while being logged out is sufficient, just like on pre-Musk Twitter.

Mastodon also doesn’t let you prevent people from reading your posts.

Mounting solar panels on roofs - like all roof work - is dangerous.

Sure, Vlad.

Unfortunately not. For me the main problem is discoverability. There’s no recommendation algorithm except for boosts. I’m not suggesting Mastodon integrate some kind of machine learning or other advanced stuff, but number of likes from followed accounts and a threshold would be nice for a start. As it is, Mastodon is just bad for entertainment purposes. Maybe it works for other purposes, but for entertainment I’d rather have the algorithm-fuelled quote-tweet dunking on Twitter.
