   @nitpicking No, that's now what @Wileymiller or I did at all.

   In fact, I said he was politically savvy. But he's also exactly as his own Cabinet members said in 2020: A moron. He's stupid. We don't give him credit for being "smart." And if you ever read my feed, I've always said we shouldn't underestimate him. He's still a moron. Clear now #ReplyGuy?

   Man, figuring out how to manually position particles in Niagara was a huge PITA. Docs mention Niagara Data Channels and Niagara Data Interfaces but so much of it is out of date and / or incomplete it's kinda *worse* than it not being there at all.

   In the end I discovered I could do it just with user array parameters indexed with particle IDs, which *become* data interfaces, something never mentioned in the docs so making the connection was extremely hard. I feel a blog post coming on

   @whiteman_ China isn't the enemy, and they aren't united with jews at all.

   In fact, the jews are angry that the Chinese won't allow them to influence their ruling class.

   So the jews push propaganda like this to make the Chinese out as evil.

   Jews do this to Russians as well.

   The Chinese are actually based on the JQ

   @mpldr @pluralistic The exact same features that keep people away and are driving the mass migration to BlueSky instead of here. This platform has too many restrictions, which makes it more difficult to have meaningful interactions.

   For example:

   1. The purely sequential timeline means you miss a lot of relevant posts, and it's much harder to keep track of the important conversations.

   2. The lack of quotes means you can't link or make references to what others say.

   This platform added federation, but unnecessarily removed a lot a features that existed on twitter, instead of improving on them.

   Instead of fearing "the algorithm", mastodon should have given the option for users and instances to control the algorithm of their own feed.

   Bluesky added the option to "detach" a quote from a post if it turns out it's getting unwanted attention. A simpler, more elegant solution to the (frankly, exaggerated) potential abuse problem, than simply not having quotes at all.

   In short, there's less friction there, and here it feels like a pain.

   "I’d actually welcome an even-handed approach from Sulzberger because under his leadership the coverage in the New York Times has not been evenly balanced at all.

   In the early months of 2024, and certainly after his disastrous debate performance in late June, the New York Times was on nothing less than a crusade to highlight the 'age issue' presented by the 81-year-old president’s candidacy,"

   On the contrary.

   The walled gardens have not gone away with the fediverse. At all.

   In fact there are more walled gardens than ever before. Every #Mastodon instance is its OWN walled garden, in terms of discoverability. Search is cordoned off: you can’t find anything for the most part except whatever might have been posted to your own walled garden and only if recent.

   Talk of “freedom” is lovely but the reality is Mastodon is like a spy agency with severely compartmentalized info.
