You gotta admit “trunk” would be a very on brand name for Mastodon’s default git branch

@Gargron Are you familiar with trunk based development? trunkbaseddevelopment.com/

I 100% support you in renaming the master branch to trunk, if only for the pun. Seems like a no-brainer for Mastodon.

In Oracles on the Delphi Express, a prophecy given to The Boy, there's a line that goes "Big steam ships, exits illustrate the flaw". In the final song of the album, Vital Vessals Vindicate, there's a line that goes "Ebb to the left, flow to the right, the exit's unflawed".

I still don't understand what's meant by it. I think maybe it is about The Boy leaving? But then why the difference between "the flaw" in the prophecy and "unflawed" in the final song?

@Gargron I Gave up trying to understand The Dear Hunter. It's just a surrealist trip and you gotta enjoy it.

@Gargron It's funny. But that's it. You can laugh at the police in the america and tell them to fuck off and suck your dick. And having vented. Things will now return to business as usual because the 80% majority prefer things the way they are. Masto toots do not replace or reflect US Election results.

@Gargron 😂 Everything about it was perfect. First saw this on John Oliver's show and immediately fell in love with Jeremy F.

Hate that every time I talk about The Dear Hunter I have to clarify that no, I am not misspelling your goddamn Vietnam war movie

"Encrypted messaging app Signal adds facial recognition protection for protesters"

That's one hell of a spin on "Signal adds a tool to blur out faces on photos" isn't it

@Gargron Well, most people on the tech beat in journalism only got their job because they know how to use a computer and read a blog once.

@Gargron imo it’s just typical advertising, using a narrative to ride off the emotions and drive a conversion
😅

@Gargron

This is precisely the spin Signal put on it in their blog post about the new blur feature. :)

I tried watching Space Force on Netflix and it was... kinda bad? It wasn't funny.

@Gargron I haven't heard one good thing about it. Greg Daniel's other show on Prime is complete shit too.

@Gargron yeah, Steve Carrell is no Gordon Ramsay I guess huh?

Even with all the eyes of the world on them, US cops can't stop killing and maiming people, ramming cars into crowds, shooting at nurses and journalists, pepper spraying kids and pregnant women... Not just a few cops, not just one department, but systematically across the US. ACAB

@Gargron they just can't help themselves! Because it's what they were trained to do, instead of "serve and protect". It's all they know

@Gargron

That's nice and all but what are you personally doing to help make the world, even just mastodon safer for people that need it? Implementing features people have been asking for, perhaps even practically begging for for a long time? I'd like to see that happen so that there's some weight behind these words.

Currently disabling accounts of / notifying about 1,000 people who were re-using passwords and whose accounts were compromised by spammers

Please don't reuse passwords between different accounts and please use 2FA whenever it's available (not that people who need this advice the most are going to see it anyway)

@Gargron it's worth noting you DO NOT need a smartphone to use 2FA. You can use the TOTP generator built into a password manager like KeePass, which is cross platform.

@Gargron
We feel you. Every time we try to help out or inform others about important changes or dangers it's always those who need it more who ignore us. Of course they later come and complain that they weren't properly told and try to hold us responsible of their failures.

@Gargron Can't people use firefox and use the builtin password generator?
