People are just the worst. Also though, people are absolutely the best, and I love those ppl.

I'm starting to see the wisdom of the walled garden. I mean, it doesn't matter if what endangers you comes from a corporate source or a malicious techbro source — the harm is not only the same but more apt to be wielded by the tech bros and their apologists. And they know you can't and won't stop them.

From a safety and privacy perspective, who is Open Source federation for?

@GossiTheDog So, why is stalking entertaining? [Curious if this post is visible? I mean, it should be, but no reply earlier so I'm not sure. Thx.]

• AI's Electricity Use is Spiking So Fast It'll Soon Use As Much Power as an Entire Country

"A recent analysis published in the journal Joule found that by 2027, these server farms could use anywhere between 85 to 134 terawatt hours of energy per year.

"That's roughly on par with the annual electricity use of Argentina, the Netherlands, or Sweden, or 0.5 percent of the entire globe's energy demands."

Is that also why there's no ability to see ALT text on images on the mobile web page/Android?

Hey mastoPeeps 👋 Have you ever looked at your own account from different instances? I had occasion to do this after I blocked or muted some ppl, and I have questions.

Why do our own social graph numbers and the number of boosts and faves per post vary so much — sometimes by a *lot* — from one instance to the next – for the same account?

The numbers we see in our own account on our home server is not necessarily what other servers see. But why? 🤔
