Ghori explained that they worked with local and state governments to get permits that allow companies to “modify this ground temporarily,” and said they are typically for things like carnivals.
X being run as a carival makes a lot of sense. Managed by clowns and all
I'm just reading the code, no need for all caps. Have you tested it to see that, if you remove your defederated list, that it doesn't fallback to defederating those?
Is this software entirely vibe coded by neolib ideologues?
I feel like it has to be. Lack of good coding practices, like hardcoding all those is_it_a_gif strings, screams vibe coded to me. You couldn't get away with this stuff in a 200 level coding class. You know what, vibe coding is a good programming equivalent to libs: all substance with no foundations.
What other instances beyond the 4 listed in the code here are by default defederated? Afaiu if you try to 100% federate by having no defederated instances, this overrides and defederates from these 4 again.
I skimmed this on my phone so it's tough to look over the whole codebase, but yes it seems like to be 100% federated you need to have a dummy instance you are defederated from? If I have time this week I might scan the codebase and see how it's actually called.
Jerboa seems to be handling the link badly, but voyager linked correctly.
