somehow I was completely unaware of the fact that France has active colonial territories to this day that are literally considered part of the country??? like it's not as if something like that would just have slipped my memory, I have NEVER heard of this wtf (which speaks a lot to our education, and also to how this is completely swept under the rug politically within the EU?? oh yeah there are these parts of whole other continents that are technically EU but we do not talk about those :)))

Hey Mastodon Admins,
I have troubles finding accounts on my instance,
e.g. searching for "admin" yields no results, but searching for "admin@fediver.de" yields 1 result.
Is it supposed to work that way? If (hopefully) not: any starting point how to debug this? the mastodon-sidekiq logs doen't seem to be helpful.

why are so many so focused on horizontally scaling gotosocial. giant instances just takes away from the benefits of federation lmao

intentionally misusing the RAADS-R autism test
Got a high score on the autism test!!!
(I just answered instinctively based on what I thought would get the highest score. I'm very good at tests)
lol the maximum score in the original paper was 227

"Free speech" is a good principle for governments (though one whose details include serious problems that need to be considered), not for moderating communities.
This seems like a good moment to remind everybody that when someone seems *weirdly* intent on introducing strict legalistic procedures for moderation, and they are not a literal nation state, they're *probably* trying to ensure that their bigoted friends have wiggle room to fly under the radar

@joepie91 Third parties can't really offer this easily as vendors (airlines etc) tend to offer 3 types of product: single, retour and openjaw(a->b->c). As prices vary continuously you cannot safely sell 2 products simultaneously, as that kind of batching is also not supported (pricing holds are per product and short lived).
@peterbjornx Ugh :| That makes sense, but, ugh

all i'm saying is, if they can add types to python, then i should be able to remove types from java. it's only fair

Students respond better to feedback when it's depersonalized.
Personal: Your wording here is unclear
Impersonal: The wording here is unclear.
Personal: Your organization is confusing.
Impersonal: The organization is confusing.
Personal: You made the opposite claim in the previous paragraph.
Impersonal: The previous paragraph made the opposite claim.
I've found that this makes a massive difference, giving students the detachment they need to focus on their writing.

One of the interesting things, as we begin to test out the federated model of social media at scale, is that having a rule of “I don’t have to put up with any dipshits” is getting a lot of pushback from the dipshits.

honestly if you need a whole 'council' with members and a process to try to convince people online that you're not a shit head, you are probably a shit head

jokes aside, the fact that these knobheads get so mad about defederation kinda suggests to me that defederation works quite well to isolate and disempower them, so that's nice

Apple has finally killed its ill-conceived plan to scan photos for CSAM. This is a direct result of work by experts and activists. Speaking up is important and sometimes we win.
