after reading a twitter thread filled with bad takes from people who clearly did not learn civics in their education, i’ve decided i don’t even wish to read twitter anymore, so i deleted the account that was acting as a night light

@ariadne I’m still waiting for someone to build an EV that has fake gears and clutch including fake stall support because real men only drive manual cars obviously

@equinox both, it just needs to be reflowed with good solder instead of that RoHS shit

it will be interesting to see if spacemit pursue an out-of-order speculative design, especially if they do that without licensing imgtec's and mips' patent pool first

@matt @jima @gsuberland many of those same personas run the large fediverse nodes now though

united plush care

@foo the monkey’s paw curls

@gildilinie never left

admittedly i did not have "enron relaunches as a crypto token" on my 2024 bingo card, but okay

@ariadne welcome back ea-nasir

@ariadne i hope so, but i wouldn't say that i know.because in my experience, some people are just not exactly... measured... in their moderation style. delegated trust only works if you're very explicitly informed about who you give that trust. and with the current instance model it's not trivial to change as a user either.(i'm very happy on treehouse)this is a very biased perspective from my miserable time as a small time instance admin, but shared blocklists have the potential to amplify that too.

anyway i am @ariadne.space over on the other thing

@ariadne yeah, early this year they decided to introduce AI Companion and to start funnelling meeting data in to their models.I'd switch but anything I switch to would need me to walk other people through accessing, since if I'm switching it's certainly not to Google or Microsoft offerings.

@ariadne we also have @FediTips , who curates a list of “hey, if you like X follow Y”

@ariadne At the worst of it I seriously considered dropping everything and going to the remotest, desertedest place in the country. Then it got a bit better and my laziness prevented me from going through with the plan.Which was ultimately a good thing because it saved me a lot of money, without which this year would have been, uh, different.

@chrisisgr8 some band called "hori7on"

@panda what does scheduled postings have to do with admin-restricted moderation features ?

@ariadne yeah, good idea to check for sure
