Captivating post from 2021 by @pluralistic where he describes in detail his writing and publishing process.

"20 years in, blogging is still a curious mix of both technical, literary and graphic bodgery, with each day's work demanding the kind of technical minutuae we were told would disappear with WYSIWYG desktop publishing."

"D’abord, il a dissous l’Assemblée nationale, pariant que jamais la gauche ne parviendrait à s’unir : raté. Ensuite, il s’est dit qu’évidemment ce Nouveau Front populaire (NFP) ne remporterait pas les élections législatives : raté. Puis, il a tout misé sur une mésentente de cette alliance qui, c’est sûr, n’arriverait pas à s’accorder sur un candidat pour Matignon : raté. Ne restait alors qu’une option : rayer le NFP de la carte. Tout simplement."

Meta is allegedly sharing Whatsapp data to the IDF...

"Israel is killing people based on being in the same Whatsapp group as a suspected militant. Where are they getting this data? Is WhatsApp sharing it?"

@goatsarah But... but... what about marinated sweet peppers? What about ratatouille?

I'm sorry but I'm going to have to report this toot. It's just too much.

Wow.

@floledermann Thanks for investigating Florian! This is quite a regrettable IT decision indeed. Hope there is room for a change of policy at your university.
Tagging @mastohost so he's aware of the issue.

@eldang @eldang@weirder.earth Hi Eldan, thanks for the suggestion. At first sight the new behavior seems less convenient indeed. Regarding mapstodon.space, as we are running a @mastohost managed instance, we unfortunately don't have the hand to install a patch. I'll let Hugo for Masto.host take notice and make his decision (a patch might involve more work on the admin/update side and be hard to deal with later!). Also: the url brings a 404 error, maybe the resource has been moved?

@Dragons8mycat I second @jcarlson's suggestion here. Could you please check your preferences and see if there's any filter in place? The instance recently upgraded to Mastodon 4, there might be glitches. Cc @mastohost
