@steve No, those would help with posts showing up in the feeds of smaller instances, but (afaik) most major instances don't subscribe to relays.

The *real* problem is this: say I post something as @tapir, then boost it as @arnelson. Unless your server has received a `Create` of @tapir's post, you won't be able to see my boost!

I don't know if this is normal Mastodon behavior or a bug. I can see a bunch of servers GETing the post's URL, but they don't display it unless it's been pushed to them.

Just read an article about chatgpt "lying" about someone being dead and it's like "I asked it for the link to the obituary but it doubled down on the lie and provided a fake link instead" and I'm begging people to understand that it's a statistical model, it doesn't know it's lying so it can't "double down". The statistically probably answer to "where is the link" is not "I'm sorry I made it all up", it's a link. It doesn't even know what a link is, it just knows vaguely what one looks like so you're basically asking it "generate a plausible looking link to an obituary in the guardian" and it did

There is nothing more permanent than a temporary solution

Good luck anybody enabling this mitigation in a corporate environment, lmao.

Church of Emacs wins again

Been on nixos for a few weeks now, and have about 6 computers migrated to it all running off a single universal configuration...

I have to say, this is the most impressed I have ever been by a distro, this is a game changer!

look I am a professional at coming up with bad and nonsensical solutions to non-problems (HAVE YOU SEEN MY KEYBOARDS?) and even I must bow at the feet of the kind of shit JS coders apparently do every day

"Stair dust corners are flexible, triangle-shape pieces of brass or nickel that keep dust from accumulating in stair corners. They were introduced near the end of the 19th century as a way to simplify sweeping."

so every time russian trolls hit an ukrainian open-registration mastodon instance, the fediblock gets lit.

first come the outraged that demand the instance gets immediately defederated or else, because they host nazis.

second come those with good advice. “i encourage you to do x, y and z, all of which will limit the accessibility if the service to your fellow people, but will make everything so much more convenient to us

third come those who offer to help: moderate the instances in the hours when the shelling and bombardments make it impossible for the admins to log in, or screen the join requests.

lol, the last para was just a joke. no-one on the fediblock cares, and after all, no-one speaks ukrainian or whatever is the language there.

fediblock: keeping the fediverse clean for those who speak majority languages.
