I think that one of the things that's so hard about being a tech worker in this era is simultaneously finding out that a lot of people who make less view you as part of the capitalist class while also finding out that your bosses absolutely do not

I hope someday there will be a map projection named after me

I don't want to invent one, I just want someone to name one after me

@adriano @jdp23 @cwebber There is also the W Social AppView, which seems to be in maybe some kind of alpha state right now. They have made the statement that it "only serves W-verified users" (verified in this context which they mean people who have uploaded their ID to a "third party" which appears not not be a third party, but W itself) - but the main reason I bring that up is that one possible interpretation of this sentence is that only returns accounts, posts, etc. from people that have been verified, and the rest of the atproto network is invisible. If this is correct, well ... I'm just sort of speechless

Oh good, it gets even worse, as it turns out:

Apparently this is known app behavior that enables abuse associated with post editing. Despite this, every time post editing comes up (which as you know, it does frequently) the team hems and haws about the potential for abuse. Even though a super pernicious version of abuse is enabled right now, by decisions they have already made.

@timnitGebru Yep, and it's really disappointing to see it working - people who *really* should Know Better are falling for this stuff.

I just want you all to know that right now I have to cross a drawbridge over a moat to get into my house and it is AWESOME

@evan oh wow!

@blogdiva I'm actually quite surprised that he has this level of understanding of global economics

@evan can we split the difference and call it finger guns? 👉👉

I think it's so fucking great that the LOGO for Hamilton is a MASSIVE SPOILER, and they just get away with, amazing

XSD stands for XML Stigmata Definition

@evan Kind of beside the point of maybe of interest - I looked to see when my nodeinfo crawls started failing on pawoo ... and I have never crawled any of the three instances in these posts! They don't appear in the https://nodes.fediverse.party/ list, which is what I use for my instance list. The machine that @minoru runs to build that list is located in Russia - so maybe they are blocked in Russia?

A few weeks ago I started running my own copy of Minoru's crawler, I'll see how much my vantage point in the USA changes the list.
