Fedi Garden to users: "You may need to find an alternative to us"

HeartyBeast ,

This is from 2020. You absolutely can use Little Snitch or a similar firewall to block this traffic.

I'm quite intrigued as to what our modern world would look with corporation's - what? - assets? - capped at $999 milion. It costs about $120m to build a single container ship, a Boeing 737-700 costs about $89m, Amazon set aside $1bn to film its Lord of the Ring series.

Probably the end of multi-nationals, I guess. Interesting

HeartyBeast ,

Result - massive rich corporation staffed by small insanely rich exec teams and everything automated.

HeartyBeast ,

I don't see how you argue that. Most companies today have some form of salary bill. Giving corporations a massive incentive to automate away lower paid jobs does not spread wealth.

HeartyBeast ,

Oof. That’s going to end up as a right old mess.

HeartyBeast ,

Or send, you know - a text message

HeartyBeast ,

Racist arsehole yes, Nazi is hyperbole and I’m sick of hyperbole

HeartyBeast ,

When the “large” voices leave in significant numbers - in the UK it is used wildly by public sector and charity organisations, there are official governmental Twitter accounts, all the broadcasters have accounts.

HeartyBeast ,

I think Threads federation may actually help with. I’m trying to persuade a health body at the moment to switch from Twitter and to roll their own Mastodon instance, based on the fact that what they really want is the widget on the website, control of their data and the ability to reach people.

Twitter has already screwed the widget with the login/authentication requirements. If
Threads actually allows its users to see Mastodon posts, that’s a big old reachable audience.

HeartyBeast ,

OK, convince me. Why do you define him as a Nazi, specifically?

HeartyBeast ,

He’s clearly an anti-semite, or at least a sympathers. ‘Nazi’ is getting thrown around a bit too liberally

HeartyBeast ,

HeartyBeast ,

This will probably be enough for me to convince my organisation to quit Twitter and spin up their own Mastodon instance if Incan te them that they will be able to reach Threads users

HeartyBeast ,

Hmm that would be illegal in the EU and UK, where nutritional info and proportion of honey would be required.

Quite tempted to write in though. Anyone else?

HeartyBeast ,

Being honest would require percentages, really

HeartyBeast ,

UK regulations state that ingredients must be listed in order of weight, with the main ingredient first according to the amounts that were used to make the food - the percentages are by weight

HeartyBeast ,

values the data their users have given them

.. and will give them

HeartyBeast ,

Certainly in the UK, there has been a real push for fully compostible teabags. Clipper Tea and PG are fully compostable. Yorkshire Tea was not, last time I looked - which is why I stopped drinking it.

HeartyBeast ,

TIL too, thanks

HeartyBeast ,

Exactly.

Also be aware that if you add an Outllook account to iOS, IT may be able to wipe your entire phone.

HeartyBeast ,

At least it has reject all

HeartyBeast ,

It’s a transaction- it’s fine from their point of view as they have to pay journalists. Is there and ad- free pay option?

HeartyBeast ,

It’s not a double standard, it’s a recognition that a woman is far more likely to end up physically injured than a man.

It’s rather like complaining that certain hiking sites warn against hypothermia when you view them in winter, but not summer. People can still die of hypothermia in summer

HeartyBeast ,

And where exactly have I done that?

HeartyBeast ,

I wouldn’t bother with that, I’d instead look at it from the other point of view and think about fitting something like a simple vent gravity flap to your hood outlet, that is closed when your hood is off, and opens when your hood is on. I.e seals the vent to prevent smells.

HeartyBeast ,

And it’s fitted properly? Is it completely closed when your neighbour has their extractor on?

HeartyBeast ,

Don;t mention Minecraft. You implemented and adminstered a MYSQL database system which supported N concurrent users and Y transactions per minute with 99.xxx uptime over Z years, you also developed a custom front-end etc etc

HeartyBeast ,

It is also a tool to allow common understanding between a diverse group of people. I’m not saying that less/fewer is an important rule. However ‘anything goes’ is going to have an impact on people’s understanding of bothe you and your message

HeartyBeast ,

The thing I find interesting is how the mixing of less and fewer, is broadly accepted, whereas nobody tends to use ‘much’ and ‘many’ interchangeably.

I’m not quite sure why much/many is do conserved when fewer/less isn’t.

HeartyBeast , (edited )

Because they aren’t the same quality? Lossy compression is lossy

HeartyBeast ,

Not paywalled for me perhaps it wasn't for OP.

HeartyBeast ,

There was a fashion about 30 years ago in the UK to convert old-style rotary phones so they worked with DTMF touch tones. I had a rather excellent original candle-stick style phone. Got lost in a move somewhere. Retro is always cool

HeartyBeast ,

That failure example puts something in my hind-brain into fight-or-flight mode - mainly flight.

HeartyBeast ,

Saying ‘corporations are going to do what they want regardless, there’s no point wore about it’, is a very useful counsel of despair for them.

HeartyBeast ,

I love how this article goes paid only, just as Eugen is about to start answering the interesting questions. And by like, I of course mean 'hate'.

HeartyBeast ,

Is this one of the services that you supply absolutely all your personal details to, to keep your personal details private?

HeartyBeast ,

Why are you reading Gamespot if you wanyt analyis of geopolitics?

HeartyBeast ,

Almost the definition of celebs is that significant numbers of people find them interesting. They may not be my favourite thing, but views differ

HeartyBeast ,

Yeh - accelerated quickly from 'could be aiming for ironic humour' to 'I'm a idiot'.

Probably thinks Tiananmen Square tank man, or the Uyghurs use Linux

HeartyBeast ,

Seems like a reasonable way to soft-launch federation to me.

HeartyBeast ,

I really don’t see that. You’ve got 3 million users who are happy using the platform- if it were me I certainly wouldn’t turn on federation for them without asking.

I’d probably have a process that initially

  1. Make federation opt-in for existing users
  2. Make federation an opt-in during onboarding of new users
  3. Start promoting Turing federation on for existing users
  4. Make federation the default for new users
HeartyBeast ,

Can you get Quorn where you live? Pretty decent. Ironically, I'm allergic to it - so no good for me.

HeartyBeast OP ,

It’s intrinsically designed to be wasteful of energy. A foundational requirement is ‘proof of waste’

HeartyBeast OP ,

It’s one of those names, which I suspect seemed like a good idea in the pub at the time and which they should have jettisoned as soon as they sobered up.
