@annika There was a Firefox extension that tried to do this redirect trick (graze?) but new users have to choose an instance, have the problem, get someone to tell them about a browser extension, download install config the extension.
When a client opens a post on the #Mastodon web, why doesn’t it open in the user’s instance so that they can just interact normally with posts? This seems like a huge blocker for new users because the mental model doesn’t match the way all the other websites in the world work. #ux
“That an American president sent masked agents to a rival’s political rally is quite obviously an ominous sign for our country, but politically, it also just looks stupid for Republicans. This plays right into #Newsom’s hands, it plays right into the Democratic Party’s hands, and it does the exact opposite of what the administration would want to do, which is to show that immigration forces in this country have not been politicized by Trump.” https://www.msnbc.com/top-stories/latest/trump-gavin-newsom-rally-immigration-democrats-rcna225230#uspol
@mayank I can vouch for Panic. They are one of the best small makers of software, and they've been around forever. I used BBEdit, but I suspect Nova is better now.
There’s no such thing as anonymous personal data. Especially not when it’s the story of your life as recorded in your phone conversations.
AIs can make voices that sound exactly like you with a tiny sample of your recorded voice. That capability can make it possible for criminals to defraud banks and extort your relatives and friends.
Once AI takes your data, it’s impossible to get it removed, because companies do everything possible to not be held responsible.
