@vantablack it baffles me that the link preview isn't just generated once, by the client of the person posting the link, and just attached to the AP note as extra data during federation after publishing.
This is how a lot of messaging apps handle it, which always ensures a link preview is only ever generated once whenever a user shares it.
@KimCrayton1 white dude opinions are precisely the opposite of high-variety, full of shared blind spots begat from high privilege and highly-overpapping monotonous life circumstances. This really shouldn't be that controversial, but of course some boring low-variety guy is gonna get pissed off huh?
subtoot, cultural appropriation, slang
when you hear "gen Z slang", your first thought should be "is this actually just appropriated AAVE that has been stripped of its cultural context and is now being used to enrich white people instead of those who coined it?"
like I'm pretty sure skibidi toilet is its own thing, for example, but "no cap" is an Atlanta hiphop thing, "slay" originated in Black/Latinx queer ball culture, "queen" is most likely a clipping of "drag queen" ... like, this is literally what cultural appropriation is: getting elevated for doing things that would get marginalized people punished.
ICYMI, my partner @nullagent was assaulted last night protesting at a #Seattle City Council member's home over the anti-homeless/anti-SW legislation that's underway.
He's heading over to urgent care now to get a full assessment, and possible stitches for the head wound.
We are getting some extra help at home this week, but he REALLY needs to rest up and take it easy while he recovers.
Update: we launched a fundraising page! Please donate + share.
Begpost for my fiancee's birthday today (18th), please reboost
Hey friends,
Happy birthday to the love and light of my life 🧡
I'd like to raise more money for her birthday if possible, please, to get my fiancee gifts and send her the money, so she can buy what she wants. These last months have been awful for her too, so I want her to enjoy her day as much as possible. She'd need clothing.
Any donation is appreciated if you can. Thank you so much for your precious help!
re: windows install adventure
@reese The only difference we've noticed with "Windows To Go" is that is breaks the pirate Windows pre-activation. So you get the naggy thingy to "Activate Windows".

re: windows install adventure
@reese this all smells like a scheme to make external drive manufacturers shell out money for an official "Windows To Go" license on their disks tbh. No way there is any functional difference between an unlicensed drive and a licensed one.
windows install adventure
Apparently you have to use a 3rd-party tool called Rufus that is Windows-only to create a 'Windows To Go' install on any non-MS approved external drive. The official windows install mediums themselves will all just refuse if they detect a drive attached over USB. Unfortunately this is a my passport drive so I can't just shuck it to get a SATA connection, so I had to setup a Windows VM just to use Rufus, to install Windows.
programming
I always forget the JVM is supposed to make things easier when the time comes to actually try building a project on it. It just makes way less sense than traditional compilation and project build management regardless of what tools you use. I love several JVM languages but they will always be held back by their ridiculous and bafflingly complex build systems. I would kill to just be dealing with regular old compiling and linking errors, this is torture.

Programmer and IT girl. Pseudo-vegan for the environment (-avocados +oysters). Very uncomfortable with astrology. Please don't call me "dude", "bro", "man", etc. Radical egalitarian anarchist, hierarchies and hate are incompatible with a free and equal life . For real though, I'm not gonna tell you to vote or post about political spectacle that is outside our control and in-actionable. Aiming to have a similar amount of internal contradictions as my environment like Ashby's Law of Requisite variety. I am probably stoned on some variety and dosage of cannabinoids if I am awake if you hate stoners just dni. I am also a trans woman so I *checks notes* meme about femininity and feminization sometimes. After dark account at: @thufieplus but read my bio there before sending a follow request even if we are already mutuals here. Oh and just to be clear because I think I see other white people on here trying to fake not being white under a bunch of other text, I'm just a disoriented white girl trying her best.
