@smaurizi Just FYI (you probably don't want to do it at this point), in Preferences, there's a section called Notifications. There you can select whether you want emails sent for different Mastodon events.
The UI may be different somehow (at qoto we use a fork and not mainline Mastodon), but it should be there somewhere.
@lohang This reminds me of a joke: an ant is watching a movie when an elephant enters the theatre and sits right in front of the ant. The ant, of course, can no longer see the movie, and so gets up and sits in front of the elephant, looks back and says: “Isn't it annoying when someone does it _to you_?”
It's funnier in Spanish, but anyway. That's what this situation looks like to me.
@SuperMoosie Numbers seen from a different instance are most likely inaccurate, given that you almost never have the same level of visibility.
Even from the same instance, the numbers could be different, because you can do your own moderation.
@smaurizi There is a way if you receive an email everytime someone follows you. You can compare those emails with your follower list. Of course, it's manual and time-consuming, but there it is.
Anyway, it probably has to do with instances that defederated with mastodon.social due to the Threads controversy.
@Miaourt I have the theory that, because each system's evolution is obvious from the previous one's point of view, people tend to forget that it is not obvious from the start.
In other words, people who work on a system see it from the nth level of abstraction, and so they can easily come up with the (n+1)st level; but people reading the whole thing do so from level 1, where everything else looks like magic.
@lore Interestingly, I've run servers with Slackware and never had that kind of issues. While very few things were automated, everything seemed to work out of the box. What is your experience running servers? Maybe your use case is different from what mine was.
@lore I once tried to use Debian, probably in 2000, and it was the only distro that I could not even install due to how difficult it was to do so. I've felt an antipathy towards it and its derivatives since then.
@lore That's basically what we slackers do with SlackBuilds.
@lore You probably have thought about this, but I would recommend recompiling those programs to target your machine architecture. I don't believe it makes a huge difference, but sometimes it's noticeable, especially in video applications. I do that with ffmpeg and MPlayer and I think it's worth it. I've never tried with Kdenlive, though, because I don't use it.
@lore Yeah, I know, and I don't mind your bitching. I just saw your post and wondered what my own score would be. I was surprised it was so low, because, with the exception of compilations and watching HD videos sometimes, I've never noticed my computer struggling.
@lore Just kidding, of course, but sheesh.
@lore And you've spent these last few days complaining? Mine has a score of 3213 and I don't have plans (or need) to replace it yet.

Os dejo esta entrevista que le he hecho a uno de esos jóvenes economistas a los que hay que tener en cuenta: Roy Cobby. Hablamos sobre política industrial, la nueva fase de la globalización y mucho más. En @ElSaltoDiario https://www.elsaltodiario.com/desindustrializacion/roy-cobby-estado-debe-disciplinar-al-capital
@podcastlinux Diría que los que más uso son find y grep. Para el segundo tengo un alias que me ahorra tener que escribir (y acordarme) de todas las opciones que uso habitualmente:
`alias cgrep='grep --color=always --binary-files=without-match -nHR'`
Ahora que miro, también uso mucho wget, tail, diff, less... Y git, claro.
@lore You must have some very specific needs, because I know people using the same programs you do and they're perfectly happy with them.
I've been using Linux since 1999 and I've only had trouble with developers once. The dude was German, though, so it was somehow expected.
@Javisandom No es mala noticia, pero si he entendido bien el artículo, no diseñaremos ni fabricaremos nada. Sólo cortaremos obleas ya creadas fuera. Vamos, que sólo vienen por la mano de obra barata.
@lydiaconwell It's not a hall of fame, more like a hall of attention seekers, but, don't worry, I'm not judging.. out loud.
Anyway, in your profile settings, there must be something like “List this account on the directory.” Just check that and you'll be golden—more so even!
@silviamaggi I tried again with Tor Browser with JS disabled and it works fine. (Webfonts are not loaded, but that's expected behaviour.)
It seems there are some CSS rules Seamonley doesn't pick, because it all looks like a CSS reset.

@jon @LauraParkerUX It may be great for people with dyscalculia, but it should improve on typography. It's hard to make out where a paragraph (or even a line of text or a list item) ends and another begins, which makes it annoying to read.
Maybe it's my browser (I use Seamonkey), but then, you know, accessibility.
