I care 100X more about *how* you argue and how you treat the people you disagree with than I care about what you think.

Last Notes npub1ehksyu5z0wxs9nggw278un4jp8gv9uk5pftzg0jzqzrkqa0j434qf2r8up n8 Doesn't follow you 🇺🇦 That having been said, the underlying goal of things like ActivityPub are still genuinely interesting and incredibly worthwhile, specifically because they are a lot more powerful than Mastodon itself is. If AP was just the Mastodon source code, that would be meh. npub1ehksyu5z0wxs9nggw278un4jp8gv9uk5pftzg0jzqzrkqa0j434qf2r8up n8 Doesn't follow you 🇺🇦 For context: to me, the value of participating in Mastodon as a social network is that there are a lot of people here who discuss (intelligently and with a sense of humor) subjects that I'm interested in , like FOSS and type design. npub1ehksyu5z0wxs9nggw278un4jp8gv9uk5pftzg0jzqzrkqa0j434qf2r8up n8 Doesn't follow you 🇺🇦 Personally, I might use the term "bubble" rather than "echo chamber," because so much of Mastodon's design focuses on giving server administrators tools to block things they don't want to see, and "bubble" emphasizes the barrier-forming aspect. npub1ehksyu5z0wxs9nggw278un4jp8gv9uk5pftzg0jzqzrkqa0j434qf2r8up n8 Doesn't follow you 🇺🇦 RE: https://social.coop/@scottjenson/116352522288234148 npub1ehksyu5z0wxs9nggw278un4jp8gv9uk5pftzg0jzqzrkqa0j434qf2r8up n8 Doesn't follow you 🇺🇦 Neato. A rampaging Deletionist wikipedian ran across one of my most-frequently-referenced pages and erased like 10,000 words of information. npub1ehksyu5z0wxs9nggw278un4jp8gv9uk5pftzg0jzqzrkqa0j434qf2r8up n8 Doesn't follow you 🇺🇦 Pronunciation #poll npub1ehksyu5z0wxs9nggw278un4jp8gv9uk5pftzg0jzqzrkqa0j434qf2r8up n8 Doesn't follow you 🇺🇦 That is not the same feature, but I do appreciate you pointing me towards people who are interested in somewhat-related topics. npub1ehksyu5z0wxs9nggw278un4jp8gv9uk5pftzg0jzqzrkqa0j434qf2r8up n8 Doesn't follow you 🇺🇦 I keep thinking that I need to write up a feature request for @npub17lf…3uhj to enable that specific usage scenario, but it just gets longer every time I try. npub1ehksyu5z0wxs9nggw278un4jp8gv9uk5pftzg0jzqzrkqa0j434qf2r8up n8 Doesn't follow you 🇺🇦 (pun intended) npub1ehksyu5z0wxs9nggw278un4jp8gv9uk5pftzg0jzqzrkqa0j434qf2r8up n8 Doesn't follow you 🇺🇦 That's a plus in that it's public, but I've usually preferred the as-short-as-possible options. With those, you can kind of stack up five or six different publishers (and from different regions) and get a wider swath of info as you wake up with alarm. npub1ehksyu5z0wxs9nggw278un4jp8gv9uk5pftzg0jzqzrkqa0j434qf2r8up n8 Doesn't follow you 🇺🇦 Today in #newsNews ... Reuters used to have some form of "3-minute headline brief" podcast feed. I could never find the URL in any public index, but it was accessible through Google's "routines" (i.e., scheduled automation sequences that you could attach to an alarm on an Android phone. Possible also doable through smart speakers etc, but I've never used those). npub1ehksyu5z0wxs9nggw278un4jp8gv9uk5pftzg0jzqzrkqa0j434qf2r8up n8 Doesn't follow you 🇺🇦 So far, I have not seen an actual lawyer give an analysis of the newly-announced #Firefox #TOS thing and, to be frank, the hottakes that I have seen boosted by all yall here have not met my standard for "this person is doing a careful assessment". npub1ehksyu5z0wxs9nggw278un4jp8gv9uk5pftzg0jzqzrkqa0j434qf2r8up n8 Doesn't follow you 🇺🇦 Does anybody create their own custom, possibly local-only XDG (or not, I guess) URL-scheme handlers? npub1ehksyu5z0wxs9nggw278un4jp8gv9uk5pftzg0jzqzrkqa0j434qf2r8up n8 Doesn't follow you 🇺🇦 Morning coffee thoughts: font file formats are like 75% technical debt plus 75% corner cases.
