@Gargron @pamdrouin

Good improvements, and nice to see it updated to show off the more recent main UI for Mastodon....

@Gargron Looks good.

"We only list communities that are committed to active moderation against racism, sexism and transphobia."

There used to be more criteria, like regular backups and multiple people with access to the computer, iirc. Are they dropped? (I cannot find the sign up page for communities any more.)

There was a community I found interesting, but on their about page you mostly see toots from other communities. Would it be an idea to only show local toots?

@Gargron @pamdrouin is there some way you could provide a lighter theme for it? Just for the documentation section at least, I can't look at this for an extended period. Light on dark themes aren't accessible for everyone.

@Gargron
isobutylphenylpropionic acid :cate: :cate:

@Gargron That's Covid, for sure it is Covid!

@Gargron I know the feeling. Good luck!

@Gargron not?

@Gargron

@Gargron did you mean that the morning wasn't good or that it wasn't morning?

@Gargron well, you can have a network topology that's essentially nodes attached to a hub, and those nodes might or might not act as hubs themselves. That's the typical network topology of the internet - although it was designed not to be like that: it's just how it's ended up because of commercial ISPs.

@Gargron I don't have any friends!! help me 😞

@Gargron I don't think so no. A network is an obvious plurality, but can easily have a central coordinator (master) and consist of mostly satellite/slave units. An example could be a local network of time share terminals with all the logic in the central machine.

@Gargron Eugen

no

too many work

Didn't even get to do my daily walk because of a thunderstorm today.

@Gargron I wouldn't worry too much - my onboarding experience was smooth and straightforward.

@Gargron it wasn't until I read your post that I realized I turned on single column as "an experiment" and it's still on months later and I love it.

@Gargron
We've got to change that. Our UI is still the old one.

@Gargron
That man has the voice of George Michael and Jon Oliva combined.

@Gargron I envy you :-)

@Gargron

@Gargron Yeah, my room just went from sunny to evening at noon too...

@gargron but it's got a quietly optimistic ending

@Gargron it’s a wonderful movie! It’s like experiencing a dream, it touches me because I do dream a lot.

@Gargron Love that movie

@Gargron Filmmaking at its finest

@Gargron 10/10 would watch again.

In fact, I think now I just might!

@Gargron That's what will be written on my tombstone.

@Gargron Somebody has too much time on their hands. 😊

@Gargron I suspect Elon Musk is on something again

@Gargron this make make day :D

@Gargron either you’re quite a bit taller than me or... you were leaping?

@Gargron You just gave me the last push I needed to go running.

@Gargron
10 step?
Your big, huh?

So at .99 a song, that'd be 198 times at best.

@Gargron
Look up for the patreon page or similar of the artists and send $1. That is even more than they can expect from a single user by every other ways in summary

@Gargron The problem here lies in the copyright laws, which are different in each country...Spotify exploits the general flaws in the vague international rules, because there are no physical 'copies' involved in streaming. So it offers a payment per-play, just like the radio stations used to (and still do). Copyright covers copies, not plays, which are governed by individual country agreements with broadcasters, and Spotify is not classed as a broadcaster under most of the agreements...

@Gargron

@Gargron it’s like that time when i was 5 and the neighbor kid pulled leaves off a tree and declared that it was money, but somehow there’s actual adults taking him seriously.

@Gargron big yikes. I might be missing the boat with all this DeFi stuff... back in my day we just had Bitcoin. I can't keep up with all these new tokens lol

@Gargron Not really fair to take such a poorly-executed and borderline scamm"project" and put on the same stand of all the serious people working on the crypto space.

A lot of wrong stuff including wrong transcriptions on Genius, too, for that matter

@Gargron Yeah I noticed that too. Thankfully their are websites dedicated to the lore of The Dear hunter.
