“We can hold two things true at once: The ADL is not representative of all American Jews, and Elon Musk is an antisemite who’s singling out the organization as a stand-in for all of us.”

coming for @aral of all people — someone whose whole life is about making publishing on the internet more accessible and less privately held — is a weird fuckin choice

@dansup @pixelfed i had an idea for a service that does this on your phone using profiles, that analyzes the sentiment of any texts or emails you send to make sure you’re not being inappropriate and then puts anything questionable in a hold queue until the next day when you’ve sobered up

google should bring back orkut and google+ as fediverse apps, let a million fediflowers bloom, tech giants and tech minis duking it out for user share and driving the platform forward

YouTube announced today that it’s unbanning Trump from their platform, ensuring they remain the market leader in radicalizing and recruiting for the far-right

Turns out, the disabled guy Elon Musk just shit all over was Iceland's 2022 Person of the Year, who took his earnings from the sale of his company to Twitter to build wheelchair ramps around his country. https://www.icelandreview.com/news/haraldur-thorleifsson-sweeps-person-of-the-year-awards/

i am sad to report that we will now be going from "deadly hot summer" to "deadly cold winter" in perpetuity forever until the end of our time on earth because we refuse to stop a few hundred people from making obscene amounts of money

I think the best part of being in the fediverse is watching all the people who literally built the web which once inspired and enthralled us all reminisce about the beforefore times when we were all driven by idealism and what is now derisively referred to as cyberutopianism, and seeing them get excited again about the opportunities the fediverse affords.

@evan @simon isn't the purpose, and i'm genuinely asking because i don't know whether it's actually implemented this way, to ensure that a malicious actor doesn't send, say, some kind of arbitrary bytes that when consumed make the consumer exploitable?

:bta:

@evan i'm baked right now

@evan don't be cruel by elvis preseley

@evan don't do me like that by tom petty and the heartbreakers

@evan don't stand so close to me by the police

@evan don't let me be misunderstood by the animals

@evan i love cloud-native architecture in principle but in practice, you will invariably spend more time troubleshooting your deployment than working with your actual project

@hypolite activitypub is a protocol. what's the medium? mastodon is one man's fiefdom.

we have everyone needed to comprise a truly diverse and inclusive open source contributor community to cocreate the greatest internet platform that ever existed and we're all just talking past each other.

here's what i don't get... we have some of the most brilliant devs who understand new media really well here on masto. and they're all working on their own individual little activitypub experiments rather than getting together and working on a project that really fucking breaks our brains and redefines social media for the next decade. and i'm at a loss for why.
