Strong views about abolishing oppression, hierarchy, agency, and self-governance - but I also trust people by default and give them room to grow, unless they give me reason not to. That all also applies to technology and how it's built.

Matrix moderation, Element
Here are some things that Element could have done years ago to mitigate the abuse issues, but didn't:
- Move invites to a queue that is not visible or attention-grabbing by default
- Homeserver-level support for subscribing to shared ACLs
- Protocol-level support for synchronizing ACLs across rooms in a space
- Track associations between media files and the messages they are referenced from, so that they can be automatically removed alongside their messages
- Automatically hide images from newly-joined users behind a spoiler tag
All of these are viable from a technical perspective, most of them were suggested years ago already, and this list is not exhaustive either.
Think about this next time you see Element talking about how much work they've been doing on safety and how there's just not many things left that they can do.
@Ember Nope, doesn't fix it either 😕

@hannarchy Is it just me or is it literally just the one guy who's all convinced that "AI is the future" while simultaneously handholding the bot all over the place?

...does anyone have any suggestions for a Discord-Shaped-Object (DSO) that isn't owned by a big bad?
I'm testing Matrix but want to keep my options open. Main use-case is a server with 4 people in it making art/music together.
@balrogboogie @schratze That sounds like there should be enclaves on the map

When assembling my new Kallax was part-way done, I had had enough of assembling stuff so I started filling it with the stuff I wanted to put in it. Which is also partly done now. Oh well. To becontinued. Rome wasn't built in a day either!
@MxAlba That sounds like two chores half done, ie. equivalent to a whole completed chore 🙂
(In all seriousness, getting chores partway done is a lot better than putting them off!)

Also, do you have #ADHD and feel bad about having a bunch of unfinished projects, abandoned hobbies, unread books, etc.?
Yeah, you should stop that.
You have a neurological bias toward novelty and poor executive function. You're probably using up all your self-control to do the things you need to get done like work, chores, and errands.
As long as you aren't digging yourself into a financial hole, cut yourself some slack with the stuff you do for fun. It's gonna be messy, and that's okay.
I wonder if part of why Nix usability is so bad, is just because the only usability bar it's ever had to meet originally is "better than C++ package and build systems"

re: EU vs. Israel
@elilla I don't know what (if anything) was the turning point, but what I *do* know is that the stated reasons definitely aren't it, and only serve a single purpose: the politicians in question know that they functionally get to decide what goes into the history books regardless of truth, and so they frame it in such a way that they look like "the good guys who put a stop to it" by framing it as decisive action

ACAB
i opened a seafood-themed gym called Muscles & Mussels, but business tanked, i got crabby reviews, and now i'm just floundering
The problem seems to go away if I disable window previews on hover, but those same window previews used to work fine before, with no lag...
#AskFedi: In KDE Plasma, if I move over the taskbar/switcher rapidly with my mouse, it takes longer and longer to re-render the taskbar and its highlighted application, to the point of eventually taking several seconds per render.
Anyone have any idea what might be causing this, or how to fix it? Am on NixOS.
