GoToSocial is problematic because when I opened a bug report, all the developers got together and yelled into a glass jar, then screwed the lid on the jar real quick so the yells were trapped inside, then they posted the jar full of yells to me

actually what the fuck is up with Mastodon's documentation straight up having a guide "Playing with public data"

ohhh this is cool, I got the slightly more expensive M42 to Canon EF adaptor from aliexpress with an identification chip, and now it does focus beeping (even though it's still a vintage lens with manual focus), and has more accurate exposure in liveview

Hey Science, I need a tube in my kitchen so I can shout "butter, you dickhead" into it and I'll hear that two days ago when I'm standing in the middle of the supermarket thinking "what was I out of again?"

Furthermore, I encourage any FOSS projects who have accounts on fosstodon.org to either move to an instance of their own where feasible or move to a better FOSS oriented instance.

The FOSS community at large deserves better than what fossotodon.org can deliver.

Like do you really want your FOSS project's account on a instance where the admin behaves like *that*? or where it is policy that all posting must be in English.

Last time I checked, FOSS is supposed to be for everyone, not just people who speak English.

Clarification edit - FOSS stands for Free and Open Source Software.

it reminds me of the preface of "All That Is Solid Melts Into Air", about (post)modernism; analyzing the architecture of Brazil's new capital, Brasìlia, designed as "embodying the hopes of the Brazilian people", but turning out to be a city perfect for holding control, depriving people of common spaces to freely interact, and providing ample infrastructure to quell revolution

possibly spoilers for Silo/Snowpiercer 

actually they're both structures built for control, incredibly easy to have checkpoints either in a train or a single staircase, and cut off entire sections. literally just vertical/horizontal variants

Silo really feels like a mix of 1984 and Snowpiercer
