I wish it would combine comments for crossposts. It doesn’t have to break per-server instance bans or anything like that. Just combine the comments for servers that are friendly with each other.

Some of the more extreme-minded liberals do a good enough job at sabotaging themselves and the movements they are a part of, without the need for malicious saboteurs. Like Atheist+ or progressive stack.
Then again, Russians orgs are out there, trying to influence politic movements and sabotage others. GamerGate was an entire sea of political actors, journalists, influencers, and Russian agents, trying to push their own narratives to the point of mass disinformation from both sides, with the general public on either side confused and angry at the other’s responses.
Defund means to essentially get rid of a department or thing. The phrase “defend the police” means “get rid of the police”. It doesn’t matter if there’s some cartoon to re-explain away the phrase or a bunch of other people trying to re-define the English language. English is English, and words have meaning.
The “defund the police” movement failed because us liberals don’t fucking understand marketing. Like, at all. I can’t count the number of times some liberal movement crops up with their slogan and Republicans turn that slogan against them because nobody spent the ten minutes time to think about how that phrase or thing could be abused. For example, that brief time when the LGBT movement wanted to rename themselves to LGBTQIA2SUVWTFBBQ? Seriously?!?
It’s like naming your baby “Assman McAssface” and wondering why he gets bullied in school.
Agent Smth?
I use it all the time. It works fine.
Obviously, LTT doesn’t see the long-term benefit of retraining his team to not be attached to monthly subscription bullshit.
Short-term quarterly-profit energy.
A friendly reminder that GIMP and Da Vinci Resolve are things that exist.
He threatens to sue. He doesn’t have the money or bandwidth to actually sue.
There’s a lot of reading.
I mean, there’s a lot of reading, but almost all of it is voice acted. Wonderfully.
Disco Elysium is worth it for the voice acting alone. And that’s not even a tenth of the game.
Would you like to code something for no money that would help people?
That’s open-source software in a nutshell.
From the PR:
Note that this behaviour is configurable. It’s default is a 500 char limit because that is the Mastodon default.
That’s a shit default, and a shitty way to treat a standard that is meant for all sorts of communication. ActivityPub is not Twitter, and it is not just for short-form communication. In fact, a majority of the web is longer-form communication that isn’t a mere 500 characters long.
Retorting with “this behaviour is configurable” is dancing around the issue. Good, sane defaults mean everything in programming.
Sigh, not this article again. No, they can’t “deepfake a person with one photo”. They can create a bad uncanny-valley 75% accurate version of one.
They will shown the people, and by extension, more moderate Republicans.
There is no such thing. The GOP has made sure of that for the past 15 years.
They are proud members of the Leopards Eating People’s Faces Party. Getting thrown under the bus and being surprised about it (or not) is their MO.
I’d say that’s about 10-15 years too late, but as a total outsider who’s not at all familiar with the situation, it looks like his realization and action on it was sincere.
2009 is better than realizing it in 2016. The GOP took the Tea Party and funneled all of that hate and racism over Obama and his “tan suits” into something much worse.
I would if I could!
WTF is this whole thread?
Right. This is just trading one set of security pitfalls with a second, much worse set of security pitfalls.
