@FaalnFromABlueStar The proper appellation for a database of dead names would, obviously, be Necronomicon.

@thenexusofprivacy As a server admin, I can define a list of follow recommendations - this is already a type of starter pack, but with any possibility to opt-out for the accounts listed.This is of course only a possibility for niche servers.

@pernillet “From Google’s point of view, it was the Marie Kondo of corporations, merely tidying up its records and files. But it did this so comprehensively and obsessively that it created the illusion of deceit that it was trying so hard to dispel, said Agnieszka McPeak, a professor at Gonzaga University School of Law who has written about evidence destruction.”

@Lafiel No? Dragonfly speaks the Redis protocol, so this is transparent to Mastodon

Europe’s first paper age may have started with trade imports but a separate way of producing paper developed, starting in the early thirteenth century on the Iberian Peninsula and in Italy. Around 1300 a few mills produced European paper. Fancy more: https://brill.com/display/book/edcoll/9789004424005/BP000010.xml The 300 years later imagined paper using scene might be correct. Writers living in Oxford, Paris or Cologne did have access to the paper flows provided by the paper trade. Paper markets were a thing around 1300. 3/3

@jwilker @lowqualityfacts Let’s get freaaakaaay!

@sungo I put on the music earlier so others would have something to hear besides my typing.I have immersed in code all day to avoid thinking.

@PlasticJohnny @graue Don't nag him too much about his bad decisions, he's blocking people doing so. Generally don't expect proper explanations from him for decisions or lack thereof.Mastodon got a huge governance problem. At some point it needs to be forked by a more capable group or institution.

@inquiline It was only several minutes later that my brain finally delivered the info that there should probably be a hyphen AND an en dash for the compound modified. Maybe also tildes to represent worms

@[email protected] Disappointing: we should forcibly migrate all the masto users to akkoma or sharkey.

The web balances on a knife edge. It's kept upright by impassioned people arguing for security and privacy and pushing within these organizations to make it all a reality. But it also runs on real engineering hours, sunk into projects that those same folks have managed to carve out space for within what should be entirely self interested corporate bodies.Yes there is some lopsidedness right now, but upsetting that balance within the current economic and political environment is a Very Bad Idea

@rysiek sorry, s/HTML/HTTP/. HTML doesn't care; HTTP specifies CR LF.

@jcrabapple I do see your point. Still, there is a need for consent and moderation here that doesn't seem to matter as much for some reason on Bluesky? This makes creating similar much more complex here.I know Dansup is building a Starter Pack site for the Fedi but admit I haven't checked it out yet. And it appears Mastodon is working on the same thing. So it's going to happen regardless of what I think.

@anselmschueler Some of the books have a different publisher in the UK.

@julian Yes — we couldn't have imagined all the things that happened in 2024 this time last year!

@JessTheUnstill They get to collect interest from the money while the cheque has not been cashed, perhaps?

@jacqueline yeah—that’s terrible. is it accidental? have they responded? I don’t see any comments on their socials
