I’m not knowledgeable either but that all makes sense.
Does that third also take into account any differences in manufacturing them? In other words, the entire lifecycle.
Best skin I’ve seen on any social site. Nice job.
The best use of AI I can think of is a virtual teacher, that teaches critical thinking and empathy.
Name-calling isn’t necessary at all, if that’s what happening. That said, would you behave this way in a restaurant?
I organise a small group gathering at a local pub sometimes with people who aren’t close friends. If it’s just one person not buying in a decent sized group, then it doesn’t cause a problem for the venue as far as I know. When we’re huddled in a corner it’s hard to tell who has what drink.
But you simply wouldn’t get away with that if it wasn’t for the others buying drinks and we do so to “pay the rent” so to speak. So when that happens there is a vibe of “I’m fine with you guys covering me here”. Saying “I don’t spend money in bars” isn’t that different to saying “I let others spend their money at bars”.
Now if this was a group of good friends, or someone I knew was struggling financially, I’d be fine with it.
“spammy/toxic instances” - Meta are a toxic company. They literally have blood on their hands.
“too liberal with defederation” - we’re talking about one body specifically; Threads. Nothing else.
As to whether it should be done at an admin or individual level, I have no idea. But they’re an unethical company and people less privileged than you and I have died while they profit from it. That alone is enough reason for anyone with empathy IMO.
So if an instance federated with loads of other instances but not Threads, I’m not a social network anymore? That makes no sense to me.
Isn’t he also the SO creator? Anyway, I’m sure he understands the technology, yes. And maybe I misinterpreted him. But it sounded like he’s saying that if we don’t federate with Threads, then there’s no point in being on the fediverse, because we’re effectively isolationists”. That’s simply untrue.
He has some strange takes there, as if federating is mandatory. Servers do block instances and defederate. it’s not misuse of activitypub to do so.
I don’t know what’s the right choice. But some arguments are a bit off to me.
Bi-semi weekly when I want to be absolutely emphatic that I mean a week.
We’re obviously not getting the hint!
Take the time to develop more understanding, and therefore empathy for yourself and others. You’ll never truly do anything worthwhile without empathy.
An osteopath is usually the best choice.
Found the Finn.
Alien (1979). When the cryogenic sleep pods open at the beginning it reminds me of those dioramas people do of Baby J, the three wise men etc. The alien is like one of the animals, although a little more aggressive.
Pretending that they’d have a good life here: koalas and elephants.
True, but the format is unique. The post format breaks up the flow of chatter into easily discernible units of conversation.
IRC, Discord and others have the continuous stream of thought with no beginning or end. On the other extreme, Instagram and TikTok require an image or video to post at all.
So I would say that FB groups have a distinct utility / identity separate from just other users being there.
