    @jerome

    Yeah

    See that quote (heh...) I pulled down from the Release notes:

    ""Quoting other people is not implemented yet, and it is currently not possible to mark your own posts as allowing quotes. However, a new “Who can quote” setting has been added to the “Posting defaults” section of the user settings. This setting allows you to set a default that will be used for new posts made on Mastodon 4.5 and newer, when quote posts will be fully implemented.""

    @jerome

    Yeah there have been specific apps that have implemented #QuotePosts for some time now -- and used that as a "marketing" feature

    But of course there's a difference between the user-space "app" level and the overall-global instance distribution level

    This will become Yet Another(tm) #Mastodon Advanced Feature(tm) that newcomers and the experienced alike will have to find in some Preferences --> Whatever location and turn on or off as they see fit

    Who says Mastodon is hard to use? /snark

    And what are "Carousel Slides" and when do we get to see them?

    Are these for Pinned Posts, or nah?

    If I may, let me ask this question again, over here:

    "- "experimental support for verifying and displaying remote quote posts""

    I've watched as this very specific Issue worked its way through the #Mastodon #Github

    "remote quote posts"

    I've seen no mention (perhaps I missed it) of who exactly gets to --> create <-- these "remote quote posts"

    "remote" implies no one on my local instance

    Let's take a deep, cleansing breath and call this #LuxuryJet from #Qatar exactly what it is:

    #Baksheesh

    "Baksheesh (from Persian: بخشش bakhshesh[1]) ... and certain forms of political corruption and bribery in the Middle East and South Asia. "

    These are Arabians

    They know exactly who #Trump is

    They know exactly what they are doing

    They know exactly what they're going to get -- for starters

    Trump does not

    Trump gets played for the fool he is -- once again

      Baksheesh
      Baksheesh (from Persian: بخشش bakhshesh) is tipping, charitable giving, and certain forms of political corruption and bribery in the Middle East and South Asia. Etymology and usage Baksheesh comes from the Persian word بخشش (bakhshesh), which originated from the Middle Persian language. The word had also moved to other cultures and countries. In the Albanian, Arabic, Bosnian, Bulgarian, Indian, Macedonian, Romanian, Russian, Serbian, and Turkish languages, bakshish or бакшиш means "tip" in the conventional western sense. In Greek, μπαξίσι (baksisi) can mean a gift in general. In German and French, Bakschisch is a small bribe (in Romanian as well, depending on the context; usually employed as a euphemism to șpagă...

    " I understand Roberts as attempting to simultaneously reassure Trump about that while also seeming to stand firm on behalf of federal judges."

    I'm seeing it as a pure PR play on #JohnRoberts part to buff the cred of #SCOTUS

    Anyone who is paying any attention knows that #LeonardLeo's implementation of the #SupremeCourt is designed for one purpose only:

    To enshrine the #UnitaryExecutive as #UnitedStates #Constitutional fact

    "It’s a shame Mastodon struggles with short video clips..."

    #Mastodon is *not* intended to be a video content platform

    #Pixelfed is, however

    "OK fine! I’ll just create a series on YouTube about it..."

    So you'd choose #Youtube --> over <-- anything on the #Fediverse?

    Is that what you're saying?

    Out of what? Spite?

    "...#Virginia #RepublicanParty leaders to step aside over allegations that he maintained a social media account with sexually explicit images of men.""

    But wait

    Where these "men" real men, if you know what I mean?

    Or just repurposed "men" from some other...

    ...source

    Seems like that would make a difference to real Republicans, given how obsessed Republicans are with what people have in their underwear

    @heidilifeldman

    It's been said before, but I'll beat the dead horse again:

    (one of) Smilin' Joe #Biden's biggest mistakes was not performing a complete house-cleaning at #ICE (and really U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services as a whole) to root out the #Racist #Bigots who were running the entire lawless enterprise

    ICE has been a rogue "agency" pretty much operating as its own law enforcement agency and private government, making its own policies and procedures that have only one purpose:

    Terrorize any and all non-#Caucasians within the United States and either force them to leave, or arrest, imprison, and deport them as slave labor

    "or if Abrego Garcia is confirmed dead, mooting the need for the remedy"

    I'm expecting this to be the next shoe to drop in this sordid tale

    That said, short of the return of the deceased's body, how can we even believe either El Salvador or Trump?

    "I cannot fathom the leaden silence..."

    Too many Americans have witnessed at close quarters Trump's relentless use of stochastic terrorism

    Unsubtle threats, not personally focused to leave Trump an obvious out, but clear enough to end up with people being doxxed, being swatted by police, having their children threatened by Trump stooges

    Trump knows exactly what he's doing and it has worked to perfection

    America is silenced by fear

    @creek

    OK Imma gonna mute this convo

    My entire point was that the graphic presentation (which is what people scan for maybe three seconds) paints an entirely different story when viewed on the phone "app" everybody uses now, as opposed to the data presentation in a full-screen web browser tab

    Clearly a design choice was made to *not* reformat the data to make the same presentation on any viewing device

    And with that...

    @GossiTheDog

    I have FediDB open in a tab daily

    Some time ago I noticed a formatting change (really it was done with the time distribution) whereby in a browser tab, full screen HD 32" monitor, the top page, lead graphs were all virtually flat lines

    Just thought to myself 'who would want this data portrayed in such an uninformative way?' but I see now it was reformatted for phones, because as we all know, *everyone* views the web through an "app" on their phones

    Docktorow really needs a re-write to discuss the "enappification of the Internet"

    That "enshitification" shchtick is so 2000s

    @GossiTheDog

    So is that how you do it -- make that graph look like it's actually showing something since the recent formatting change?

    Looks like you're looking on your phone, and the graph show some uplift at the recent end

    Myself, looking full-screen 1920@1080@60p on a 32 inch monitor, full-screen Firefox browser tab, I see only the faintest, softest curves upward

    Pretty unimpressive, really

    Also interesting to note that the time scale is daily for me with a significant gap between data points, while you've got four-day data points all run together

    Interesting to consider *how* the data is presented affects the message delivered, I guess

    Bet DanSup and Gargron like the data rendition you see better than the one I see...

    The real point here is that the entire Republican party are confirmed, serial, pathological liars

    They can take any position at any time and be 100% inoculated against any suggestion of hypocrisy

    "It’s worth mentioning that Maven received 2 million dollars in funding from former Twitter CEO Ev Williams and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman"

    Realize that 2 million dollars is chump change to these tech bros

    A rounding error

    But even so these "investors" certainly expect an ROI - a return on their investment

    What part of #Maven's haul is to be monetized to generate shareholder value - to ensure these parasites receive an adequate ROI - and how?
