He certainly ruined twitter... not sure I'd agree he ruined tesla, they are doing way better now than when he came in.
But yea I agree, he himself is not particularly remarkable in any way other than perhaps being good at making money. How much of that has been luck till now I cant say.
I used to like musk, but now im kinda neutral on him leaning towards dislike.
I do think people make a bigger deal out of him than he is worth... his comments arent of any value most of the time.
@youronlyone Which instance are we talking about?
I'd be all for adding the other 4 to the list of planets along with pluto :)
@bee@cultofshiv.wtf
thats why the "right to leave" clause is there, as a final escape measure... All of the instances right now are strongly anti-TERF and wouldnt accept it locally, let alone in the UFoI as a whole... Should what you describe every happen then the TERF instance get voted out.. if that doesnt work then all the good-actor instances just leave and reform their own federation. At which point the TERFs are just stuck into their own little silo like they were before.
@tongutay Kudos for having the bravery to label pluto a planet , as it should be :)
@bee@cultofshiv.wtf
You **can** defederate from instances that make your lives worse.. our first rule probhibits that, so no such server would ever make it into the UFoI in the first place. If they did you'd need only report them... You can also suggest new code of ethic entries if you feel it isnt sufficient, it is, afterall, just a draft for now.
@freemo @GeePawHill
Yes, please.
With particular emphasis on the temporal characteristics (impulse response) of the gain control parameter and the logarithmic characteristic of the AGC.
@Hawk1291 yes more or less... there are lots of variations you can do... I would actuall use a restricted logarithmic function rather than an unrestrict logistic function.
@Pantangelini I meant to say, why doesnt it exist in linux.. it should be part of the advancec volume screen (or atleast some plugin for it)
@GeePawHill It would be soooo simple to fix too, I just dont get it.. Once I built a physical device that just goes inline on the audio cable and it provided dynamic level control.. it was a fun analog project... If your interested I can show you it running in a simulator online, its kinda cool.
@bushgrad Ive explained the reasons for all of our decisions many times, happy to do so again... but first I need to know what you mean about branding instances and limiting the liverty of users to access ours... You mean by letting our users import block lists if they want to or you talking about something else?
Someone really needs to build some sort of logarithmic volume filter into linux... a way to keep the normal volume scenes loud enough to hear but reduce the volume on the loud scenes. This way you can listen to a movie in the middle of the night and not annoy your neighbors and not need to keep lowering it everytime an action scene hits.... how is this not a thing already!
@bushgrad Wait, what?
PArterning with who... the fediblock I listed is no longer active, its archived, no one to partner with.. I think you have it confused with a different block list of the same name that is active.
As for motivated for profit? Who? What are you even talking about. We have pretty strict rules at QOTO of no commercial activity of any kind, profit is specifically forbidden....
I dont care if your preachy I just wish I could understand what your talking about.
