   🎓 Doc Freemo :jpf: 🇳🇱 (freemo@qoto.org)'s status on Friday, 15-Nov-2024 22:36:26 JST 🎓 Doc Freemo :jpf: 🇳🇱

   @gwr You would have been welcome to ping me sooner to remind me to response, im sworry it took a week. I totally missed your message. I get a lot of messages and sometimes a few get lost in all the noise.

   Also if you ever need support our entire team is better reached via Matrix. We have about a 15 person team here, and any development activity can be seen from there.

   So the latex and markdown we know, and its unrelated to QOTO directly. Long story short the engine that makes that possible (MathJax) has a CSP related bug and anyone using that tool anywhere has it broken now on browsers it seems. That wont be able to be fixed until they fix it upstream. Though we are lookinginto Katex.

   The issue you have with favorite domains and subscribing.. what exactly are the symptoms? As far as I know those should be working, if they arent this is the first im hearing of it.

   @dragon0 well...threads *kinda* added AP support. We can't mention them unless we're replying to a post that already exists there, they can't mention or reply to us directly, and each user has to enable it to be able to see our replies and like them. They hide that option behind 3 menus and never tell you it's there.

   So yeah, but only if the people you want to follow are aware of the Fediverse and have it turned on, otherwise no, not really...

   Flipboard, on the other hand, is federating accounts in batches. It definitely seems like the more correct way.

   I should not be allowed to have power tools.

   After weeks of putting it off, I finally opened the jigsaw and had a go at cutting some edges off these shelves.

   (My tv is a couple of centimetres too big for this gap. I thought it would be better to make the gap bigger than to get a smaller TV.)

   We already tried removing the shelves and they *will not* come off the wall. It's extremely weird. There's nothing visible on the shelves that looks like a mechanism for releasing whatever internal design has them floating there.

   So the next plan: cut a few centimetres off the edge of each shelf.

   I think they're made of particle board with a veneer applied to all the surfaces. Removing the veneer does not reveal any useful secrets.

   I unpacked the jigsaw, carefully studied the instructions, measured & marked where I want to cut the shelves.

   Made a little test cut on part of a shelf that I'm planning to discard. Seemed fine.

   Put on the parallel-cut guide to make the first real cut and. Uh. Didn't tighten it properly. So the cut was too far in & I will have to repair it at some point.

   Okay fine I don't care much about these shelves anyway. And I like the look of repaired damage, it adds charm. Like visible mending on clothes.

   So. Parallel-cut guide properly tightened, I tried again.

   Got about a third of the way in, and the saw started juddering. Like it had hit a different kind of material. Metal maybe?

   I have a metal blade but it took me a while to think of trying it.

   Meanwhile it's getting later in the day and probably not a good time for someone living in an apartment building to operate power tools.

   Also, if something goes catastrophically wrong, I'm here on my own and have no-one to save me from my bad decisions.

   Aaaaaaargh.

   Will I put the TV back for now and resign myself to living with this awkwardness for weeks (possibly months) to come?

   Yeah I will. Fuck it.

   Wall-mounting this TV is now a problem for Future Chicken to solve.

   @rapha3l I'm not really sure, to be honest, but I got a feeling that it's sort of both.

   What I know for a fact, is that it's the same as if you entered the remote post's URL into your Mastodon instance's search bar. But I'm not 100% sure what doing this does to federation.

   AFAIK, 'federation' isn't a binary matter. I.e. it doesn't appear to be a question of two instances exchanging everything or nothing.

   As far as I can tell, federation (at least in the context of Mastodon) is based on who follows whom and what. That's why, for example, even though I follow several people on mastodon.social, I still need to fetch many replies from there.

   So, I think that's what's happening here: The two instances will be federated in that they are aware of one another, but they won’t be exchanging every message going forward.

   That is my understanding anyway. I hope someone will correct me if I'm wrong.

   pls (pls@mstdn.games)'s status on Thursday, 09-May-2024 09:11:15 JST pls

   As some Xbox fans correctly pointed out, Microsoft is very generous with their severance packages.

   So they won't be dropped like a hot potato the same way other companies do.

   This doesn't make their decision to close those studios OK but it's fair to calibrate how bad it is.

   I would argue this is part of why getting fired by Xbox is so heartbreaking, is the knowledge that Microsoft is genuinely one of the best employers out there.

   So long as they will keep you, as it turns out.

   I have given this information a bit of additional thought.

   Engagement and civility in the the "known Fediverse" (aka not Fediblocked) is great.

   What I don't care for is to re-engage with a lot of people from X, Facebook, etc. Many are toxic. In fact, that is a statement I've read many times over in the past year or so from people who migrated from there.

   So, if s.o. in the "native" Fediverse (Mastdon, etc.) comments on a post from...
