Kinda nice to click to a remote post link and see they're running Mastodon 4.x but disabled the unauthenticated API

The UX is abysmal of course, with Mastodon just spamming a list of 401 errors, but good that they prioritize user safety.

Wonder if they'd be interested in FediFox Shield, of course :)

Does your ruling class spark joy? If not, thank them and throw them away.

the opening poem with the same title, Collapsed in Sunbeams, is really nice

LB - the expectation and blaming I've seen from techbros on here about how if people don''t want X, then they should do "niche settings thing / cultural thing" (e.g. turn on no index, add nobot or whatever the noresearch tag is to your bio)

Most of the world does not live in your little space and has completely different specialist and niche knowledge than you do.

Saying them not knowing that is consent to act on them is beyond irresponsible.

another 40+ notifications.. i wonder if that toot will reach 4 digits. pretty wild given how many (very large) instances are suspended here

hey if google does ever show up on the fediverse i'll be well prepared

Shoutout to @jalcine@todon.eu for hipping me to Gitea going corporate.

sigh This is why we can't have nice things.

:boost_requested:​ A question for folks who *aren't* developers:

What would be the most important things/qualities for you in a website/page builder? Specifically, in the kind of builder that lets you build in some limited amount of interactivity (like forum functionality).

Developers, sit this one out please. Boosting is of course appreciated, though.

Wow. Minnesnowta@universeodon.com jumped in my mentions, clearly feeling called out by the idea that wanting massive police operations to attack unhoused people might be fascist, got tired of telling on themselves, and blocked me.

What icon do I use for "This domain is already in your list of suspended instances", I'm at a loss

options: forkaweso.me/Fork-Awesome/icon

I think it should mostly be an informative hint, because it won't prevent you from including it in your import (you might even want to, to change the metadata to that from the import)

this is probably my most popular toot by now. if so many people agree, why do techbros keep writing shitty scrapers under the guise of "people totally want this", hmm?

oh so we're tech bros, just because we all share the exact same lack of empathy, certainty of our own intellectual superiority, panglossian view of technological intrusion into private life, and we all keep doing the exact same thing over and over that everybody here hates?

@rbairwell @aendra @doot As someone with ADHD, I have no right to feed data of others to some third party service, so I can make things convenient for myself.

I don't think anyone argues against having a private, self-hosted search or search on your own instance :) It would even be quite possible to buid it into a web client.
