@darius no thanks. I already have this recurring nightmare where I fall asleep on the beach and am awakened by well meaning "Save the Whales" volunteers yelling "we found one!" as they surround me with a tarp and spray me down with water.

@darius I want claws and a sand proof crack!

@darius

Just take ur body to the beach.

@darius @pokeythepenguin I can’t explain why but Pokey being on Kolektiva is very funny to me.

@darius !! this has been in an obscure cabinet in my mind for a long long time ... i almost forgot

@darius HOORAY FOR MY NICE FRIEND DARIUS!!!!

@darius Thank you! I often search my own tweets to find old things again, so this is amazing.

@darius this is great- thanks!

@darius They were found in a large bin labeled "WASTE"

@darius surprised to see this while he’s still alive, and worried it’s a bad sign re: any future output—does this mean he’s incapacitated/near death? 😟

@darius
Wait... isn't Pynchton still alive though?

@darius I haven’t checked in over a year but yeah they def used to have OG tags

I can see opengraph tags now. Weird.

@darius I look forward to the inevitable KDrama adaptation! Just to get ahead of it, I think you should push for Kim Seon-ho to play you.

@darius I just got here, I’m an activitynub.

@darius I’m an ActivityPublicist

ActivityWhat

@darius I don't even wanna know what the hell us going on there

@darius I had a problem that all my machines were outdated and not supported Docker.

@darius Basically anything about Docker that isn't "just run this Docker image on your NAS and forget about it" causes me to break out in hives. It usually starts blowing up the minute I start and gets worse until I quit.

@darius hm, we have vastly different experiences it seems. Docker has made my life sooo much easier, would be hard to imagine doing without it.I mostly just don’t touch anything that doesn’t support it- why would chase all the different dependencies of an app, and figuring out how to upgrade them all, all without without messing with other apps that I want to run on my server. Ssl termination for any container solved simply by adding a few traefik labels to docker compose, simple magic :)

@darius Oh, to be that canned tomato sauce.

Sorry, I can't help it. I'm addicted to the Flay vore *rimshot*

@darius Bobby, put down the tomato sauce, wipe your ass, and pick up the phone.

@darius id dare say he even eats it while in the bathroom

@darius yeah, a lot of stuff was supposed to be friendlier if you’re not logged in? but that is not a case i would’ve optimized for.

@darius i’d be interested in possibly collaborating on a fresh ui for hometown that caters to our niche corner and maybe we can make it mastodon agnostic.

@darius it would be really nice if the “instance only post” feature was adopted by Mastodon. It makes so much sense.

@darius the whole symposium is 💯 https://lpeproject.org/symposia/cost-benefit-analysis/

@natematias @darius Developing and reviewing BCAs has been a core part of the last 15 years of my professional life. I agree with much of what Bergman writes here; here book “Thinking Like an Economist:…” was valuable but would perhaps have been better as a long-form essay (I feel that way about many books, I guess). All analysis has normative foundations; the best ones bring them out into the open in the discussion itself.

@darius he did not take getting kicked off that mastodon instance well. He has since deleted his tweets from that time period.

@darius So I loathe Seth Abramson and his brand of self-aggrandizing clout-chasing, and I wouldn't miss his presence for a second.

So I'm not inclined to take his word for why he was banned, which he says was just for posting a link to his Post account.

But what did he get banned for then? Because it's true that it would be problematic if people were banned for just linking an account of theirs elsewhere.

@darius TLDR, he got banned from a single mastodon instance, and therefore no mastodon instance can be trusted.

@darius @nexusofprivacy Interesting... linking directly to https://mastodon.social/@nexusofprivacy/109479153478604828 is troublesome for users on other servers - they can view the posts but need to head back to their own server to interact with the post. Is there an alternative? Maybe @nexusofprivacy/109479153478604828 ?

@darius Thank you for great content that could be live-tooted

@nexusofprivacy thank you for the useful live-tooting

@darius Correction, other... "Fediverse" servers 👍

With more #Fediverse centric features and benefits coming soon 🙂

Also just posted was an announcement about support for the https://You.com search engine as an integrated option to choose as a default in #Vivaldi.

@darius FWIW I use Vivaldi as my main browser these days, largely because it has built-in RSS support. This is the first I've heard about it having built-in Mastodon support.

@darius Darius.

@darius excuse me just gonna hateboost this

@darius ... ... Dammit.

@darius i love the big computer phrasing, “really nothing changed from how a bbs worked, it just got easier for anyone to log in, compared to only exclusive and elusive technomancers pretending their one small computer was a cyberspaceship”

Everything about modern technology becomes much less appealing once you start replacing "the cloud" with "someone else's computer".
