@thomasfuchs Taipei for sure, so many hours put into those tiles…

Like, it’s only the text entry method in continuous use by like 10% of the world’s population at any given moment, it’s not like it’s important or anything.

Geez. Take it seriously. Amateur hour.

It’s hard to trust that Apple can get anything right when they so thoroughly break iOS text entry, with objectively dumb bugs, and then just… leave it that way.

Do they even use their own software?

@skinnylatte could be the size and space? So people spread out? But Mexico is big too… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@skinnylatte America truly has a dysfunctional local culture. Probably the worst part.

@thomasfuchs I was having this conversation with my dad the other day.

We determined that the Internet as a whole basically reached diminishing returns around 1998.

We could do everything we do now, with the same basic result, but without the ads, dark patterns, and societal degradation.

@skinnylatte this is amazing green tea, yep. So much depth and flavor. I’m so glad I got a quarter kilo. Thank you!!

A #team anti-pattern that I frequently observe and always try to root out whenever possible: treating trust as a wall rather than a bridge; an individual expectation rather than a relationship.

“You should trust me; I shouldn’t have to communicate.”

“I thought you trusted my expertise.”

“We all trust each other to do our jobs.”

There’s a truth to it, because yes, of course we need autonomy and focus to do our jobs.

But the place this type of thinking leads is not a cohesive team that genuinely trusts each other in a relational way. It leads the opposite direction toward individuality and isolation and prevents team cohesion.

Endemic to very senior teams especially; it’s one of the reasons I love working with less experienced folks, the expectation is much less individual and they know they need each other to succeed.

Tough one.

@skinnylatte amazing. Both look great. I’m on a green tea kick so perfect timing, and I guess I might as well try your all time favorite tea, lol.

@skinnylatte and thank you! Ordered those plus a handful of others from Wuyi origin, looks like the cloud mist is fresh so got a bunch 😁

@skinnylatte oh well now I have to ask — any favorite really good teas to share?

@cratermoon @scottjenson @Gargron This is a very rich ethics question hidden in a specific example.

Would you permit or allow any community with which you disagree to participate on a platform, even if you’re not forced to participate?

A shortlist of thought experiments, to broaden the perspective, some of which are already here, some not…
- The oil & gas community
- Forestry workers (logging)
- The cryptocurrency community
- Workers at a chick rendering plant
- The finance industry
- Adult content creators
- Religious communities

Is there a litmus test for topics that you can or can’t discuss on the fediverse? Specific servers sure, but the whole fediverse?

Does that align with the values put forth by mastodon or the fediverse in general?

I don’t have the answers.

@evan it 1000% already is running this software and has been for a long time.

@thomasfuchs omg must have

And right on time for the holidays…

*edit: $400!!! Whew. 😅

@skinnylatte I’d be down…

@carnage4life “don’t get into anything at all” —> ok so socialist Star Trek economy with no money and no requirement to work when?

@pixplz @dalias depends on the teacher.

The regime has already done so much illegal and unconstitutional crap that their only option is total power, otherwise they all are in deep shit. I think they know it and are incredibly afraid, driving many of their behaviors.

All members of the military: remember your oath.
