@inthehands Democrats falling over themselves rushing to use this technology to allocate campaign funds, I'm sure

@dalias O(1) for extremely large values of 1

@dalias @xgranade yeah it's a weird balance (dependent on instance size as well) between (A) the tagged posts that reach me are in some sense "vetted" because they reached my instance through someone's subscription, but (B) also I sometimes want to use them to discover unknown-to-me accounts

@dalias @xgranade I wouldn't go that far, I like them for coordinating groups (biased as I am as a monster movie enjoyer) and for discovering people interested in a topic, whether that's bootstrapping a new empty feed or investigating a new interest

kind of agree about the global spam issue though

@dalias @xgranade I don't really understand the goal anyway. The fediverse is decentralized by design, a single server for any purpose shouldn't be the go-to solution

@inthehands also violating the cardinal rule of browsers: never mix chrome and site UI because then you can't tell if it's being spoofed

@inthehands doomle

@dalias whatcha subtooting here

@inthehands yo dawg I heard you like trusting trust

@dalias @whitequark this is not only obvious but literally, empirically, true https://arxiv.org/abs/2305.18150

@dalias it is impossible to get an organization to understand something that its main funding source requires it not to understand

@inthehands is this real? the informality of the supposed email makes me suspicious

@inthehands I mean there are quite a few weasel words in that headline but still miles better than the NYT's "she was pretty, end of story"

@dalias this is being eroded by flatpak, AppImage, etc

@dalias @ariadne m.s runs nightly builds I believe

@dalias @emma @christi3k I'm seeing it happen to my co-workers in real time and trying to resist

@dalias @emma @christi3k yikes everything I had seen them there and their people post here made it seem like they had their heads on straight but apparently not

@inthehands @drahardja what is he even claiming they have done about the mental health issues? is it just "we waited a bit until the reporting died down"?

@dalias @khm I think there's also a difference between "download links on discord lol" and "here is our issue tracker and wiki, also we chat on discord"

@dalias I... kinda like that? To each their own obviously but I think it would look like a waste of horizontal space without that
