It is comical the degree to which journalists treat everything as a both-sides debate until something happens to *them* at which point it's an unambiguous moral problem.

@trinsec here's what I see when I click . It would be nice if I could follow the hashtag from this screen, rather than having to go to my settings.

@trinsec oh cool. Any thought to put a button in the hashtag screen?

Does the Qoto web client lack the ability to follow hashtags?

I find I use both Twitter and Mastodon quite a bit.

I go to Twitter to observe the trainwreck first hand, to try to provide some perspective, and to promote alternatives.

I come here to learn new things.

Every time we have to speak basic personal information into a phone or enter it into a form is indicative of massive failure of information technology. Countless hours wasted. Vulnerabilities created. Avoidable errors. It's wild to me that there's so much investment in technology but the basic plumbing is so decrepit.

@JamesGleick Completely agree. Take their future into their own hands.

With every new AI achievement, I can't help but feel we're watching the next weapon of mass destruction emerge in real time.

Is nobody thinking, what happens if you chain these things together and put automation in the loop to carry out real world actions?

@stubbornella This is awesome!!

I grew up in 90s Chicagoland but never saw Jordan play. Seen a lot of other cool stuff since, tho, haha.

Getting deep into the syntax for CSS Nesting, exploring the options…

Here’s a quick & overly simplistic preview...

Option 3:
article {
font-family: avenir;
& aside {
font-size: 1rem;
}
}

Option 4:
article {
font-family: avenir;
} {
aside {
font-size: 1rem;
}
}

Option 5:
@nest article {
& {
font-family: avenir;
}
aside {
font-size: 1rem;
}
}

Which all become:
article {
font-family: avenir;
}
article aside {
font-size: 1rem;
}

Thoughts?

I think if Mastodon ever adds quote-boosting, consideration should be given to implementing it "inverted" from how Twitter did it.

So more like this: If I wanted to quote-boost something, it should show up however a boost appears (which I think should change, but that's a diff topic), but your comment is attached below it almost like an inline reply. This way the original boosted message is still front and center and your opinion you've attached is secondary.

@smoke@mastodon.online old news, but yeah, that was wild

#Win95HalfwayLine

16 years, 9 months and 4 days ago, Google launched Google Docs, a free online word processor, closer to the release of Windows 95 than today.

@atomicpoet I believe the fear of having to rebuild is real. The Twitter product does a lot to reinforce that value. Simply posting the content to Mastodon might not do it.

@darnell Interesting point on how it might effect operational costs. That's def gonna be a factor in how this plays out.

This map shows where the world's carbon emissions come from - population centers, flight paths, shipping lanes and high production areas.

@darnell Beginning of the end of the defederation dramas. You'll either federate with Tumblr and be part of the biggest part of the Fediverse or be in a pocket universe. More surgical tools for moderation will have to be developed.

So #Tumblr has 135 million (!) active users who will join the #Fediverse in the next few months (if not sooner): tumblr.com/press
For comparison #Matrix has 64 million active users: news.itsfoss.com/matrix-sixty-
Tumblr also plans on adding Matrix support (probably after activating #ActivityPub upon the site).
How will #Mastodon servers handle the influx as Tumblr is a very media rich website (more more than #Pixelfed IMHO)‽ Any #MastoAdmin want to weigh in‽
