@davidrevoy If I understand correctly, your method restricts you to colours with 33% luminosity. If you want to do this with the full RGB colourspace, you might do red/green/blue/white as options. Then you say your origin is O=(0.5, 0.5, 0.5), and each colour corresponds to a vector pointing in the direction of the associated vertex of the [0, 1]³ cube representing the RGB colourspace: R=<0.5, -0.5, -0.5>; G=<-0.5, 0.5, -0.5>; B=<-0.5, -0.5, 0.5>; W=<0.5, 0.5, 0.5>. Multiply each vector by its percentage, add it to your origin, and your total can reach any point in the cube.

If everyone votes for the same colour, you get it at full saturation and brightness. You'll still get a grey if the RGB votes are evenly split, but its lightness can vary depending on the proportion of votes cast for white.

This has to do with the Content Security Policy interfering with self-hosted scripts. There are good reasons for doing this - in particular, some types of files users upload, like SVG images, can contain arbitrary JavaScript. I think the MathJax code just needs to be added to whatever whitelist exists for necessary scripts, but I'm not sure how to do that (and it's probably @freemo who has to make the change anyway).

I tested this by disabling CSP in my browser (Waterfox preferences security.csp.*) temporarily - but I do not recommend this as a permanent workaround for reasons outlined above.

@realcaseyrollins I'm not 100% sure how blocking rules work, but I think the tagged user will still see any replies, assuming he hasn't already blocked their authors too. If that's the case, then I gotta agree with @ckoppelman@mastodon.online - your followers are going to see your post and, if they reply, either inadvertently or deliberately dogpile the the user who's trying to disengage.

If replies to a blocked user inherit that status, despite having a tag in them, then obviously this objection collapses, but I don't think that's the case.

@Sphinx have a boost too :)

@s8n more precisely, we refuse to censor what content one can access from QOTO. Our own users are held to the rules on our about page, and violating the rules can get your content removed or your account silenced/suspended, so QOTO shouldn't originate any hateful content itself. It's analogous to Postel's Law: "be conservative in what you send, be liberal in what you accept".

For the most part this works really well - our content is acceptable to most instances, and our users are generally willing to behave reasonably. There are exceptions - as @oskay mentioned, some server admins can't stand that we even federate with instances that allow content they wouldn't want to see; on the other side, we have removed users who can't bring themselves to follow the rules. But you can't please everyone.

@Biggles so the mastodon default is 500. QOTO runs a modified version of the software with a limit of 65k. However, the app I think you're referring to is published by the official Mastodon team, which takes the position that Mastodon is for *micro*blogging and if you want to write longer posts you should not use Mastodon. They have at other times resisted making changes to the interface to accommodate longer posts, so it wouldn't surprise me if this were a deliberate ideological choice to maintain Mastodon's "purity" as a microblogging platform.

Most interfaces hide everything past the first 500 chars behind a "show more" link or button, as everyone's kind of come around to the idea that longform instances exist and you need to accommodate their toots in a way that doesn't break the interface, even if you don't permit them yourself.

@nadeera many mobile apps allow you to add multiple accounts, so you can maintain a presence on multiple servers. It's not quite "one account" but probably the closest you'll get.

@PawelK there's a dropdown on the menu. Tap the hamburger menu in the top left, then tap the word Youtube with a little triangle next to it. You should get a list of sites you can use.

@js290

@PawelK Newpipe can search and download Youtube, Soundcloud, Peertube, or Bandcamp audio to your device. It's not always MP3 format but might meet your needs

@Pat simple electrolysis of water produces hydrogen gas; oil might be important for hydrogen as an energy source, but not as an energy storage medium (which is what @bonifartius asked about). If you have cheap electricity and access to water you can make H2 gas in your own country, and there's nothing particularly exotic needed to make an engine that burns it. I would guess that some of the rare elements involved in constructing high-performance electrical components are more burdened with the negative geopolitical effects you describe than hydrogen is.

What car were you referring to, actually? The max range I see in production vehicles is less than half that - a search turns up a few concept vehicles (Alcoa+Phinergy, Aptera, Mercedes) but nothing I could "buy today" that's even close to a thousand miles.

@dichotomiker first I've heard of it. @freemo is this by design?

@b6hydra could be, I haven't used it myself. I just saw a blog post recently that the algorithm had been tweaked to give priority to smaller instances, so I inferred there was some process deciding what to recommend. But maybe it's just sort order within the categories?

@b6hydra I partly agree, but if you've been on the Fediverse a while, I think your experience of the Fediverse and personal knowledge of your friend probably lets you give a more valuable recommendation than whatever the algorithm spits out.

@cweickhmann you can upload gifs or apngs in your avatar, or attach them to posts. Keep in mind that there is a setting to prevent autoplaying animations, which causes people who enable it to only see the first frame as a static image.
