I was worried that the silent RSS defaults with Wordpress would be murdered by stuff like Substack, and was very relieved to have the blah.substack.com/feed option. This is cool! Hope it gets enough traction for them to be happy about

isn't the point that even people who might prefer things about downloaded music want the convenience of being able to upload and stream?

It costs money to publish an iOS app in a way that it does not for Android. In addition, the Android app was able to leverage the fact that Anki's desktop app is written in Java. It has nothing to do with an idea that "iOS users a

Whether they have the effect of "[de-legitimizing] voices not in ideological lockstep with their own", the stated goal is often to prevent brigading. If you don't think that's a real problem, don't think that pe

What I find irritating is the absence of what Chinese/Korean/Japanese apps have: a curated sticker market where the platform takes a cut of money that goes to the IP holder (brand or artist).

Literally nothing about this article is about censorship. (Also, I have a ~single-user instance and... follow and have followers through federation? As is the essential point of the software)

this is why it's very common for people to have multiple alts on mastodon, different from twitter where I basically only see alts for nsfw content.

* You can move your account to a different local server * If you use a personal server for privacy reasons, you can still get into Mastodon! My tactic was to look at the profile of anyone who was boosted onto my timeline a couple times and

They did. They did mention that. They said 20%. It's right below the stat in the linked report.

If anyone upscales this collection, can they send me a message (all modes of contact on https://maya.land/ )? I'm happy to send you some $ to be able to download the higher res copies; seems like a waste to do it twice.

To clarify (agreeing with ginko) this seems like a very arbitrary selection of thing to make this post represent. On the surface it seems just as justifiable to say, "people from X nation" or "men" or "people named

the only way you can imagine something like Twitter being more interesting is more content Twitter prohibits? it's more interesting because the UX encourages different styles of posting (no QRTs for dunks, for one) that people are deve

You can migrate a Mastodon account and the old server will forward on your follows.

I think tech is a tiny minority on Mastodon. From what I can see there are far more queer folk and lefty ppl. Your grandma will never use Mastodon because there are no network effects luring her there, but the UX is about as good as a norma

If your company is incapable of structuring things to get done when you set reasonable boundaries about the amount you're going to work, that's its fault, not your coworkers'. If you choose to set those boundaries tightly and

This seems like a misunderstanding of quadratic complexity. If every i in every foo is checked/operated upon once, that's still linear, no matter if the nesting structure requires nesting flow control.

Even though the technical skills I see explained are often quite basic, done well it's valid proof of whether they can explain something in writing, which comes up at my work a lot.
