#introduction Hi, first toot! I'm a scientist and secular humanist. I love reading (fantasy and sci-fi but anything really), clouds, timekeeping, moose, the 80s, and classic rock music. Causes include the planet, human trafficking, and US blue wave 🌊
Apparently now people are sending death threats to UFoI members... all this does is reafirm to me the dire need for sonethi g like the UFoI
@ambihelical @freemo "after our idiot behavior came to light and was publicly discussed , we decided that being held accountable for our actions was too much so we backpedaled and hope you forget” 👍🏻
Well that's progress at least. Hachyderm.io is going to move qoto.org from suspend to silence. @freemo

Yes, please.
With particular emphasis on the temporal characteristics (impulse response) of the gain control parameter and the logarithmic characteristic of the AGC.
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!

#Fediverse #IntoTheFediverse
They gotta be smarter than the nazis. If they are not, how do you fix that?
We have been federated with octodon for 5 years, over that time our policies have significantly increased in their explicit wording for protections of LGBTQ...
So what changed when octodon finally decided to defederate from us? Well.. Snow. A person who was openly a Nazi, an nazi who started their career on the fediverse on QOTO but quickly got banned.. he took on a vandetta openly to discredit us (see attached images)... He went around with a cohort of nazis as alts on various LGBTQ friendly instances and spread lies and misinformation about us... after 5 years of being recognized as a LGBTQ safe space he now has us viewed as Nazis, despite the fact that our policies have only improved.
So yea i have no doubt someone will and can **twist** what it looks like.. and even when i hear you, as I did, and change our ToS over and over and over again to appease every complaint it will **never** be enough. You and people who think like you will always find some reason to justify how it "looks" and not really care about what the reality is...
The disgusting fact is a knnown nazi publicly admited they were going to twist the LGBTQA community against itself out of spite, and all the people jumping on that band wagon are just proving that the Nazis are the ones running the show.... good luck with that.
House passed it. Republicans blocking it in Senate and Manchin, Sinema stopping Dems from ending filibuster to pass anything.
