@alasaarela with all due respect my dude this is nonsensical. are the VCs backing startups not "corporate overlords"? what makes you think capital investment and weird startup culture is something that masto users want or desire? what makes you think "allowing decentralization of social media" requires this? or that it hasn't already been happening without any VCs or startups needed? you're a november 2022, literally stop projecting your fucked up lil cis white techbro culture on us and listen to existing users please

🦆 how many times do I have to refresh my production instance before it updates to the code I'm editing locally

EDIT: Sorry folks, this was actually old news, and the call for views had already concluded. My bad!

UK artists! Your government just published a call for opinions on AI generated artwork, and your voice is needed!
They are affirming that under current law, artwork used to train AI without license or permission is most likely copyright infringement - but they're calling for the public's opinion on whether the law should be changed to make exceptions for use with AI.

there is no certification for professionally posting "beep" online. you can post "beep" online with no qualifications.

wow i hate the concept of professionalism and work to destroy it every day
@joehalfmen@kolektiva.social @jonielena Solidarity means understanding that intersectionality is a thing, that the people threatening one marginalized group are the same people threatening others, and that you should *stand together* with those other marginalized folks.
It *does not* mean throwing disabled people (or other marginalized folks) under the bus because they are inconvenient for your carefully-crafted narrative about gay people.
Stop treating disabled folks like your enemy. The enemy are our collective oppressors.

Transphobia, wikipedia
Some terrible trivia for y'all: When did the Hebrew #Wikipedia abolish the policy to misgender #trans people when describing the period before they came out?
re: Fediblock: ableism, sanism
@jonielena I'm growing increasingly concerned about kolektiva's moderation, and the rate at which they're spawning incidents like this... you're not the only person reporting this sort of "leftist channer" behaviour :/
@lyncia Oh, that's definitely already a thing :) I do hope it remains a *joke* though, I'm very much not a fan of the 'traditional' distro evangelism and I would rather not see it happen for Nix.
If it's good enough, then it should be able to gain adoption on its merits, without needing incessant evangelism!
@ttuegel I'd almost agree, with a slight alteration: replacing "Nix" with "Nix-like systems". IMO it is the underlying principles that make it work, which *could* be applied to other systems also!
Another interesting observation is that those underlying principles are largely anarchist in nature. And that it depends on the observer whether they are perceived as "anarchist" or as "democratic" (but that both draw roughly the same conclusions about what it enables).

Here's your reminder that any brand that makes an account on here can be shot at with eye lasers and exploded. It's legal

On Twitter, I had a hard time finding other trans people with shared interests to follow. On Mastodon, they’re just all coming out of the woodworks. It’s like that SpongeBob scene where he keeps opening different things and there are diapers. But instead it’s a good thing and the diapers are all #trans friends who become mutuals. I love this place.

Turns out that Adobe is collecting all of its customers' pictures into a machine learning training set.
This is opt-out, not opt-in so if you use Lightroom, for example, it defaults to adding all of your photos to the set.
If these are unpublished pictures, work-in-progress, etc. they'll still be analysed as soon as they're synced.
I've been using Lightroom to sync photos from my Windows desktop to my iPad. Now I need to reconsider that.
