That is exactly the problem with Quillete and many sites/personalities across the sociopolitical spectrum: they carefully craft headlines and articles to tick all the bias boxes of their target audience. Making people stop, think, and

This is why I reflexively flag any articles I see from it on the front page. I tried taking the site seriously a few times and worked through all the assertions, but I came to the same conclusion you did. They have a certain way , and that

Some people confuse boundaries with bubbles. When they tell me I'm living in a bubble because I use an instance with rules and instance blocks, what they want is for the street preacher to be able to chase me down the sidewalk yelling

I skimmed the rules of Mastodon.social: https://mastodon.social/about/more It's the default, and most instances stick with it. None of the items seem controversial. Which one stands out as a problem to you?

I made a toot with 100 boosts the other day on a new account. The average is closer to 10-20. Tweets barely register on accounts with 10x the following. Mastodon might look small, but it's big where it counts. I'm glad Eugen sta

I already searched feeds up in my feed reader, but only because the existing Firefox feature was poorly-integrated. I never could figure out how to have it redirect feeds to a reader. I wanted something like the way you can add search engi

It's hard for people outside the experience of poverty to understand it. It's not just a ticket if you can't afford to pay it, and can't afford time off work to fight it in court.

This has been my experience. I very politely and respectfully commented on why I wouldn't support a certain web browser that's gaining attention. The comment swung to the minimum (-4) quickly, but settled on 0 over the next few da

It's basically the subset of AWS concerned with delivering web pages to browsers in a friendly package. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Application_delivery_network You can keep a static site with something like Hug

This was, in fact, the dominant narrative at the time. Niche search products like Amazon (products), Facebook (social), and Twitter (news) were going to be the end of Google if they didn't get their act together. It's the same rea

They had the idea, not the implementation. Circles were not some bolted on feature you had to access through a submenu. They were fundamental.

That would get expensive fast for anyone remotely prolific. Not every work needs protection, and it's impossible to know which does before it becomes commercially interesting.

You're welcome to license the things you work hard to create under permissive terms. I like knowing I can send a C&D to a billion dollar corporation and generally expect action. As it is, plenty of people find their art in departme

Anti-copyright people seem to exist in a world where the only people who make things do so at big C&D-happy corporations. They mistake the cost of reproduction with the cost of creating and think the creating will happen with no control

I respect the CEO's right to keep details of his opinions on other people's rights to himself. Unfortunately, the appearance of his Prop 8 donation makes me not want to send money his way. There are plenty of browsers out there.

There appears to be a light inside. Compare the unshredded top to the bottom in one of the pictures from the front. https://www.bbc.com/news/amp/uk-england-bristol-45770028 It probably used that power source.

Does this factor in the added sugar in most peanut butters? I can't find any without it around here.
