@ariadne You ain't kidding. One winter I had one of those sitting in a cold kitchen sink when I dumped hot water from the stove into it. Glass *everywhere*. @ariadne the Japanese says “or do whatever you want, I’m soy sauce, not a cop” thanks for .zip google, going to have a lot of fun with this one https://medium.com/@bobbyrsec/the-dangers-of-googles-zip-tld-5e1e675e59a5

@ariadne I feel like this is less so a problem of the domain and moreso a problem of the notation and browser's ability to communicate to the user what it's actually doing.
I think an interesting solution could be to introduce a new scheme, say "web" that restricts what syntax is accepted to a subset used commonly by sites on the web. i’m sure you’ll be *shocked* to hear that the STOP CSAM act has nothing to do with actually stopping CSAM and everything to do with undermining end to end encryption these laws always skew towards FUD. FUD about pedophiles. FUD about human trafficking. both of those concerns are to some degree legitimate, of course, and while pedophiles and human traffickers do benefit from end to end encryption, so does everyone else. they want you to forget that everyone benefits and focus on the criminal element instead. remember what they (#BigTech) took away from you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=54QuFYFAjQY nothing sums up the san francisco bay area more than their unironic disdain for the poor.

@ariadne the fact that it's not only reporting for that, but using the specific term "panhandling"
@ariadne We live here, we're poor, and yeah everything just feels kinda hostile. We prooobably shouldn't join that instance, huh. why can't pizza places be 24 hour. surely i am not the first person to want pizza, at 7 AM. @ariadne We're still suffering from Clinton's policies and Gingrich's Contract With America. pretty funny watching white fedi’s response to black twitter embracing bluesky after being burned by activitypub’s broken moderation and threat model 🙃 look i’m with you on bluesky being bad. but there are lessons to be learned and postmortems to be had. and anyone claiming there isn’t is in denial. you all were told by me and others all the way back in the early days of ActivityPub that we needed to take the abuse and trust problems seriously. To be clear, no, Mastodon gGmbH cannot just "be sold to a VC or an equity fund." By the way, anyone claiming things get "sold to VCs" probably doesn't actually know what they are talking about. The venture market definitely does not work that way. how are we feeling about tomorrow’s launch attempt? Anonymous poll

Voting ended 20 Apr 2023 at 12:14. @ariadne I am currently writing Vocata, which does ActivityStreams right™ by strictly seeing the Fediverse as an RDF graph. It can use Neo4j as storage backend. Feel free to jump in! seeing some “lol fuck section 230” posts around here, which is pretty ironic considering section 230 is essential for the fediverse to exist at all i had a strange dream where i was a gordon ramsay type person who came in and fixed failing tech startups |
