What are some good music-focused Mastodon instances? (Edit: for talking about other people's music, and not limited to a particular genre)

@byte There's one advantage, in a technical sense: it allows for deduplicating data performantly.
Of course in practice that mostly benefits AWS and the like, because they're the ones who get the savings (and you pay full price), and there's no reason you couldn't implement a file tree structure *on top* of that...

transphobia
I’ve been posting about trans men and how we all need to support and protect our men too.
The bigots feel they are every bit as entitled to trans masc bodies as they are to trans feminine bodies. Trans men face violence just as trans women do. Sure, the mechanisms of bigotry differ somewhat, but that doesn’t negate the violence.
We are stronger when we are together. We don’t need contests about who is most oppressed.

"What gadgets do you have for me, Q?"
"Here, you'll like this."
Bond examined the device. "It looks like an Amazon Dash Button."
"An AI-powered Dash Button. It will analyse what you need most, and deliver by drone."
Bond pressed it. A moment later, a drone put a resignation letter in his hand.

In #spoonieTown they clear the sidewalks first.
And there's a sled pulled by the neighbourhood dogs for anyone who needs it until the roads are cleared.❄️

NGO emails will have subjects lines like “an important update from our team” and the update is “we’ve hired a new director of sending important emails”
If you’re part of an org like this, first, I’m so sorry, and second, don’t be surprised when your email titled “please help we are all hanging off the edge of a cliff and going to die if you don’t act now” has an open rate of 0.2%

When I was checking my luggage, the guy at the counter like hardly looked at us or said anything. He was clearly checked out and I get it, it was an 11:30pm flight. My bag was exactly 50lbs, the maximum limit. Without saying anything, he just suddenly walks away without giving back my id or boarding pass. Uhh.
We stand around for like 8 minutes until he returns with a sheet of labels? I'm like, oh great, for sure they're gonna charge us extra. The fees start at the minimum, didn't you read the fine print?
With the most solemn look, he hands me.. a gold star sticker. Then grins big and says it's for getting exactly 50lbs. Lmao.

I started writing a series of posts but decided fuck it, we longform now, and put my thoughts on Twitch's new and immediate 100 hour storage limit into a blog

Imagine how many protocol issues for how many years could be fixed with $610k in a healthier governance structure

He's on the spectrum (spending a lot of time programming his 1982 ZX spectrum) (because he's autistic)

How do people keep forgetting their keys, wallets and phones at home
How do they keep losing them all the time
Do they not give themselves the complete patdown every time they leave home and every ten minutes

btw the way i found this out was seeing their avatar in my follows and going "huh that looks familiar did i used to have a mutual with that avatar on twitter?"
and the penny didn't drop that it was art from my own dang game until i clicked into their profile and saw the banner XD

got followed by someone on bluesky with akko as their avatar and a screenshot from kitsune tails with akko talking to kiri as their banner and that's definitely a nice first. for someone to like one of my games enough to just make it their account branding
hot take, FOSS
@Foxboron@chaos.social @thibaultmol Also, here's a concrete example of what 'making room for collective governance' might look like: whoever 'owns' a particular issue ('assignee', in Github lingo) also automatically has full moderation rights over the conversation in that issue, and multiple separate conversations can be had within its context.

hot take, FOSS
@Foxboron@chaos.social @thibaultmol And Github and its model do not fit into that picture; they are entirely designed around corporate workflows, corporate needs, hierarchical power structures, and so on.
The system does not make any room for community or collective governance whatsoever.
