Was bei den doch z.T. ein bisschen überzogenen Polemiken - ich bin vom Fach, Smiley! - gegen das "Manifest f. d. Frieden" gern ausgeblendet wird:
Trotz all des Getrommels will lt. aktueller INSA-Studie eine absolute Mehrheit der Deutschen die diplomatische Beilegung des Krieges.

The apartment building next to me has some strange noise going on. Not music, just a human voice that sounds like singing.
I'm miffed. I will have to go to bed in one or two hours so i'm not totally beat tomorrow and i can't even knock on anyones door.
Also, i can't even hate on the music style, because there is no music.
Only aoowahmeaooow meaaaawooo or something.

All because i don't have any ICBMs. Silly me.

If i block some user and later unblock, would i see notifications of toots that user has made directed at me in the mean time?
Is this behaviour the same on every instance or can it be modified?

DIRECT MESSAGING

DMs on Mastodon work differently than on other platforms.

Graham Cluley, a well-respected British security blogger with a sharp sense of humor (and host of the Smashing Security podcast) has this to say:

“Imagine you are having a direct message conversation with someone on Mastodon about a sensitive subject.

Maybe George and Paul are bantering via direct message on Mastodon, and one of them says “I’ll tell you who’s a twit. That bloody @Ringo”

Well, because @Ringo has been mentioned in the chat, he now sees a copy of the message too. Ouch, that’s awkward.

This would be particularly dangerous if you were communicating with another Mastodon user to report abusive behaviour. Suddenly your abuser knows you are complaining about them.

Email doesn’t work like that. Twitter direct messages don’t work like that.

(Sorry Ringo for using your name in this example, Peace and Love man!)”

Marcus Hutchins pointed out -- in his excellent overview “A Twitter User's Guide to Mastodon”:

“Something to also be wary of is similar to how Twitter staff can read your DMs, so can Mastodon instance staff. If you send a DM to someone on another instance, both the staff on the sending and receiving instance could read your message if they wanted to. Just like on any social media platform, I do not advise using DMs to share sensitive information. Use DMs for normal discussions, or exchanging contacts. Any sensitive information should be sent via an End-to-end encrypted messaging app like Signal, WhatsApp, Telegram, or Wire.”

So if i liked for a while, was off because of games, and try to return...
Tell me true: Am i an Idiot if i take a notebook preinstalled with Ubuntu? (for work)

Really split on this, re-invigorate my love for linux on desktop, or cultivate my hate for windows-adjacent distributions?

Had bad things with real Linux, had bad things happen with Ubuntu, somehow i feel like i should install an Arch by myself. But then i feel like i should not pour my lifetime into a work laptop either.

Great stuff here, free games and not just to entertain. Game theory explained so even a dud like me can understand and more: ncase.me/projects/

@wortspielfettgesicht Nutzen... schon spassig, wie in beiden Ländern Menschen einfach vernichtet wurden, und jetzt wird "genutzt".
Haha, natürlich ist da niemand unmenschlich oder böse, ist nur Kapitalismus im Endstadium ^^

So i noticed i don't necessarily need to agree with a toot to favourite it.
I just favd a toot from @tripu because he explained his thoughts well and thus made a reasonable discussion possible - something i value.
While i agree with the decision not to have a "downvote" button because it stops a lot of low-effort grief, this makes it all the more important to fav toots that actually make an effort to explain a point. Just to offset that toots dismissing all reason cannot be downvoted.

Da sind wir doch mal die Ersten, die gratulieren: Herzlichen Glückwunsch, liebe Kollegen von der (verfickten) AfD... HerzchenSmiley!
