Serious question: why Discord? Have we learned nothing from Facebook, and is #Matrix not a good alternative? 🤔

why in the actual fuck does postmates search show me a bunch of businesses that are closed and not able to be ordered from?! why does the menu labeled “filter” not allow me to filter things i can actually buy?!

this app is literally just a list of things i can’t get right now.

I decided to go back to photog.social. Unfortunately, mastodon.art censors the 101010.pl instance - the largest and ideologically neutral Polish language server. This is unacceptable for me because I come from Poland and I want to keep in touch with the users of my national instance.

opinion: people who sit on the floor on the dance floor near the stage at a dance music event (who are abled and capable of standing without distress) are stupid and somewhat unsafe. do your ketamine in the back, you boring bastards: you are a fall hazard

nothing he said describes any publicly-known technology newer than 1970, and spacex has publicly demonstrated rocket-based landing that is iirc within human G tolerances

i wonder how AGPL authors would feel about me wholesale automirroring their foss repos to github from their self-hosted gitea instances so i can easily keep track by starring them

contemplating a new career as a grave robber, but only of orphans, so that nobody alive is harmed

anyone who causes another to become distressed (even if that distress is entirely unwarranted) in any way receives social pressure to be quiet without an evaluation of the merit of the request.

this, of course, becomes a weaponized technique for shutting down any discussion they don't want other people to have.

i think the growing and worrisome trend can be summarized thus: people now commonly take anyone voicing any sort of disagreement with them as aggression or an attack, even when it plainly is not.

what's most upsetting to me about the bump stock ban is not that it's around or not, but that anti-firearms people are fine with celebrating laws made by capricious administrative fiat, entirely removed from the law-as-written or the legislature or the judiciary. it seems terrifying to me that federal administrators can say something's legal, then make it a 10 year federal felony the next day without any change to the law at all.

wish i could easily clone my apple-branded-hardware unvirtualized instance into a vm before applying the 10.15.2 update to see what breaks/fixes, but sadly that is impossible for several reasons

how soon until those who don't publicize their preferred pronouns are assumed-bad because they affirmatively implied their lack of trans/enby solidarity (in case of poe's law striking, this is huge sarcasm)

making faces at me when i refer to an ActivityPub Create Activity as a "tweet" or refer to "toots" on a pleroma instance is not big and is not clever

I think ActivityPub servers should push every public tweet to all of the servers with which they are federated, so that every instance can give meaningful results from a local database for hashtag searches, and to maximize usefulness of "federated timeline" views. get as much data to as many places as possible and let the receiving servers decide if they want it or not.
