netiquette

Net etiquette, be friendly, don’t ask stupid questions, etc…

Step 1: unplug the router.

If you own your own domain the you can use a paid tier of a service like Proton or Tuta where the emal is [email protected] and the backend is actually them, so you don’t need to selfhost.

SimpleLogin lets you create email aliases, kind of in between self-hosting and using a provider.

Tuta’s nice (Germany), the only think Proton (Switzerland) as over it - for me - is an .onion site, although they leak a lot of links onto clearweb. I’ve heard of Fastmail but haven’t tried it.

M$ EEE-d Nokia then lost the phone market. Dumbasses.

Google also says their AI is self-aware, has feelings, wants to marry the dev who blurted that out, etc…

One of us.

So you’re a killer?

and you cannot measure a value without influencing it.

Which, to me, kinda defeats the whole purpose. I’m yet to wrap my head around this whole quantum thing.

Too bad it only runs on Google’s phones…

For Revolut? Unlikely, their website forces you into using the app.
The others sure, i guess, but i don’t see the user overlap.

you really can’t pay people enough to watch child abuse

I wonder what the package was, besides the salary. And the hiring requirements.

Makes me wonder if the lawsuit is legit or if it’s some But think of the children™ institution using some rando as cover.

because muh gun rights.

I think it’s a bit more complicated. These are worth a watch at least once:
Let’s talk about guns, gun control, school shooting, and “law abiding gun owners” (Part 1)
Let’s talk about guns, gun control, school shooting, and “law abiding gun owners” (Part 2)
Let’s talk about guns, gun control, school shooting, and “law abiding gun owners” (Part 3)

I’m sure a single mainframe consumes considerably more that some mining farms.

Also bluntly, her background of being Chinese and Swiss is a good look if they plan on marketing internationally. Her age probably plays a big role. No one wants to follow a company with a CEO that’s too old or too young.

You mean not cis straight white old western male, got it.

Perhaps try to interact with other people on mastodon instead of expecting to grow a follower base? It ain’t tiktok, ya know?

having them understand what a “federated platform” is, is too much to ask

Email is the usual analogy.

trying to find a Mastodon instance to make an account on was irritating.

Your average person will just land on mastodon.social without bothering to read the TOS… i mean rules, you know that.

And you missed a real key argument: network effect. If average person’s friends are on platform XYZ, that’s where average person will be (although this is stronger with messengers).

Mastodon gives you an autoscrolling firehose of unfiltered junk on all, or an empty wasteland of subscribed tags, with nothing inbetween.

If only people make an effort… most mastodon clients allow you to configure the timelines and if you have an empty wasteland of subscribed tags well, you’re subscribed to some very niche stuff… try posting about it, maybe others are listening - that implies effort, though, so be careful.

Ink bombs like some ATMs have.
