@keefeglise This particular "teenager" appreciates the reference.

@[email protected] mastodon.social, the instance that is largely derided as "unmoderated" for a lot of reasons... and when they do decide to moderate, their decision is to... silence you.I hate this.

@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.”

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

@NanoRaptor personally I don't even need standardization, I'm a reverse engineer. just give me a body I can actually reverse engineer!

@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.

@undead @mekkaokerekeWell, also, the thing were you need to check the manual to figure out how to manually open the doors.

@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

@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.

also my understanding is that even if an instance has a reasonable (small) number of users, its storage requirements could still balloon a lot if those users follow a lot of people, whose posts are then mirrored on the instance's server... right? the only way to keep things truly lean would be to restrict who you can follow.

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

@mlinksva "I predicted the results of the 2026 midterm elections and all I got was this lousy t-shirt"

@greg well, you can't juat disable completely as otherwise it adds load on admins to find actually problematic reports and refile them manually, which can also only work for public posts.

@evildeig Sorry, but I just believe no nation has the right to intervene in the foreign affairs of sovereign and independent nations.

@futurebird Fediverse software could do this.
