GotoSocial now supports private account notes and syncing timeline read positions (aka the markers API):

Feditext®: the client so good that the dev sneaks extra features into your server. accept no substitutes.

(while Feditext does support notes, we don't fully support read position sync yet; i'm still puzzling through the read position storage code we inherited from Metatext.)

@nota actually that's just using a streaming service over data and having your train go to germany until it cuts out, then have to switch to downloaded stuff

@a13cui Thanks for asking!

It's a messy topic and it's late here (I'm a bit sleepy), so feel free to ask follow up questions.

The short version of it is that Judeo-Christian is almost always used in one of two harmful ways:

1) To try and give more credibility and weight to something that is purely Christian by claiming that it's part of Judaism as well when it's not (like the above example, because Judaism explicitly permits abortions)
2) To try and talk about broader groupings of related faiths while ignoring the many other Abrahamic faiths (the proper term, though that one more often hurts the lesser known groups, don't use it unless you also know it applies to groups like the Baháʼí, which I'll admit even I know next to nothing about, but it's valid here because all I'm doing is naming their religious family)

Because many (cough most cough) teach a bastardized form of Judaism through the lens of Christianity, and because that's the only exposure many get to our faith... they get skewed harmful and hurtful ideas about us.

Some highlight examples:
* We don't have an established afterlife (we don't say there isn't one, we just have zero information on it if there is)
* We don't seek "eternal reward", the reward for our faith is being a better person than we were the day before
* We have forgiveness baked into our faith, and no it doesn't require animal sacrifice (it requires you to actually ask the person you wronged...)
* We thoroughly encourage arguing any topic with anyone (right time and place of course), and that includes picking a fight with God if you think they're wrong about something (you have a 99.9% chance of being wrong... but we commend the effort and every once in a while someone wins the argument)
* We have a rule, Pikuach Nefesh, roughly meaning that life is the highest commandment. Your well being takes precedence over your faith, if it would hurt you or others to be observant than you are exempt from that requirement. It's unacceptable to hurt others for your faith, and for yourself it's frowned upon
* We actively discourage conversion, it's allowed but it's not a trivial process. We don't want people to become Jews, we just want people to be better.

all i want is a thousand year slumber, is that so much to ask

ph? food 

so either the strawberry plenny meal shake i just got in doesn't taste that strong (kinda nice actually) or the covid has caught up to me again...

@stapper oh cool, but I should definitely sleeve some stuff like Boonanza and Grote Dalmuti

@stapper huh why have I never thought about this for other games than trading card stuff

re: subtoot, anarchism 

@joepie91 oh yeah I blocked that asshole, maybe should've been an instance suspend instead

re: subtoot about moderation annoyance 

@s0 I've just suspended hear-me.social, so many of the admins recent posts are them sealioning others' defederation decisions like this

noticing im kneecapping my sentences *a lot* recently (i think, perhaps)

@futurebird @pixouls wonder if it'd be enough to have a constant (slow) drip of droplets going down a little plate, with space on the sides for bees, and then a tiny solar powered pump to get droplets that weren't taken back to the reservoir

@vv @Seirdy@pleroma.envs.net @welshpixie there's also much less vertical space between the name and text, compared to the other message blocks

aand we're back. after fighting with mastodon & ruby for way. too. fucking. long.
