I am only realising just now the implications of his phrase "tech Zionism" — he thinks that all tech people think like him?

He thinks all tech people are Musk-like "rational" libertarians who think it's empirically true that Black people are not as intelligent as white people, et cetera ?

This is like when Dave Chapelle tells us how Black people regard trans people, as if nobody could be both.

2010 ME: I love the idea of electric cars!

@chargrille

I was sure I'd seen it for a moment but I was thinking of The Starling Girl, because … birds! That is also an interesting movie and I suppose you could call it feminist.

Sounds wild. I will try to get hold of it.

I'm not quite getting the reference … Yiddish speakers use certain forms of wishful speech rather than saying stuff directly?

If it's #STFUfriday everyone should watch this video again. Actual concrete examples, a cop and a lawyer both telling you the same thing.

Oh god, been there.

@polotek
What's the fundamental difference between quoting a post and simply making a new post with a link in it to the one you're talking about?

Technically, psychologically, philosophically, what's the difference?

@ct_bergstrom
Hey but don't forget all that growth in Japan where <checks notes> they suffered two horrible catastrophes in a few days and Twitter actually prevented them from finding out key information.

> "Mum needs SPOONS!"

It's possible this was the metaphorical use of "spoons" but it's the thought that counts!

@ct_bergstrom
Points deducted for 'literal' but OK

@kristinHenry
What "absolute no commercial posts at all" attitude? I've never seen anyone say that.

@me
Hi I like the app but this is very frustrating. Some posts get cut off both right and left. I'm on a iPhone 8.

@psychictides @ryanhoulihan
Ouch on behalf of the word "literally".

Israel has funded Hamas?

@feditips @LoganFive
Not sure why you're saying it's hard for my "app" to know. My app (IceCubes) never has a problem ever. It's the web browser interface which can't handle it.

And for the record, it's not about any other fediverse service, purely mastodon/mastodon interactions.

@feditips
Maybe it’s intentional — to start showing some replies after 20-odd posts in a thread? To show replies after 10% of the thread? To show replies as soon as they start showing up?

But the fact that there is

• a radically different view for the logged in and the non-logged-in user, and
• no obvious affordance to let the non-logged in user see the rest of the thread

is a major bug, I feel.

@feditips perhaps you have some insight?

I have a pretty big Mastodon question/problem.

I'm trying to link someone who doesn't have an account to this thread:

https://techhub.social/@LadyDragonfly@universeodon.com/110753630156713990

which contains an image for each country in the world.

I can see it at that URL.

But when I go to that thread in Incognito/a browser where I'm not logged in, I get redirected to this URL:

https://universeodon.com/@LadyDragonfly/110753630154110925

which cuts off after Brunei.

What's happening, how can I stop it, and how can I share that full thread with someone not on Mastodon?

This is kind of a blow to my evangelism.
