  • I'd be willing to do some "grunt mod work" for 196. Actual decision-making and community-building would probably take too much time for me to be reliable on it, but just dealing with reports I could do.

  • It's bad. The original question is being used as a... standard conversation piece, here (though I've never heard that one IRL, I'm not surprised). Like "How are you", "good, how about you", "good" (which is in reality pretty much just a greeting), the person in the meme is saying "i'm sorry, I don't have an excuse for my behavior" ("sorry I'm crazy").

    The expected response is reassurance on the second part ("no you're not" to "I'm crazy"), but the received response is reassurance on the first ("it's okay" to "sorry"). This implies that the other person does believe the first person is crazy, but the first person didn't actually 100% mean the "I'm crazy" bit, so it's an accidental insult that the first person can't actually contest in any way and it hurts more because the other person must believe that for real. Therefore, unpleasant, but keeping it in. Hence the face.

    Hope that made some sense!

  • FUCK I put a snack in the freezer like... 5 days ago? And completely forgot about it until now

    This will happen again I can't fetch it right now

  • If you haven't already, try out KDE's Krita. Incredible piece of software, much better for drawing imo

  • Ngl that link puts me slightly off. It reads exactly like what people booted for very good reasons say

    The following paragraph shows how so-called cancel culture was used weaponising [...]

    And in the email, Mozilla talks about him violating their "inclusivity" policy... we also don't know what was reported, only the reasons stated.

    Not saying that it wasn't unjust, just that we only have 1 perspective and it's written in a way that raises some red flags.

  • Sounds like you want https://diyhrt.wiki/. I'd also look around for places specifically for that (avoiding the "PM a random person"), and ask them what you posted here.

    Be warned that depending on your identity and all that you might end up dysphoric (depending on your dose and genetics), but maybe not since you said you're nb/agender, idk how it works for y'all. Be careful is all.

  • Do advertisers maybe require a bit of JS to be run to validate a click? I can't imagine they're happy to lose money to completely invalid clicks...

  • That's okay

  • Nope, western Europe.

  • I'm left-handed and really good at it

  • Actually that "brain stops developing at 25" is a misconception, the study that spawned it just ran out of funding when the subjects were 25 and didn't see the brain development slowing down, iirc (no source on hand it's past midnight here).

  • Yeah, did:web exists, but I still called it centralized because it still relies on did:plc pretty much everywhere (though honestly domain name handles might actually be did:web, not sure). Didn't know about that dual setup by Bluesky though!

  • I did notice the @handle.invalid! Thanks!

  • My understanding was that activitypub was basically a rough formalization of existing protocols, designed to be as flexible as possible. More a template than a real protocol. Unfortunately mastodon's popularity basically made a bunch of things de-facto obligatory but not well documented, and there's still a bunch of ways to do.. anything.

  • That link doesn't work for me, but I ended up finding a post by them that seems to correspond. Good to know, thanks! Seems like it's realistic but expensive still (150$/mo?), and it's not gonna get cheaper... I hope they figure out a way to make them less centralized.

  • I believe that's your handle, not your identity. Your handle resolves to your identity, but your identity isn't directly tied to it, in case you lose the domain.

  • The aggregator is called the Relay, and I haven't even found anything suggesting one could realistically selfhost it. Then you need to handle the massive stream of data coming through it with AppViews, which are tough to handle too (there are a few but not many iirc).

    That said, I am also impressed with the thought behind ATProtocol. It seems much more robust and defined than ActivityPub.

  • Bluesky's federation model is actually quite interesting, they go for a very portable approach vs activitypub's instance-basis. Unfortunately, there's still a massive centralization point (the main relay, the only thing that can really handle the firehose), and identity is also centralized, albeit has mechanisms to be decentralized.

  • I don't think this is gonna work. You can't just ban something like that, you have to provide alternatives, and there aren't any. There needs to be a Club Penguin-type "kids internet". Course, dealing with children's data is "too expensive" (and risky), so that's not gonna happen.
