@ramsey Large corps pay better but care less, I think.
@lcamtuf I would possibly pay a one time fee for verification and maybe $1/mo for no ads, but presumably this is aimed at people who get impersonated, so influencers, YouTubers and such..
@emilygorcenski It has to play the intro and cutscenes somehow.
From: @pluralistic:
"To understand the future of Mastodon, we have to understand network effects...a product or service that gets more valuable as it attracts new users.
The people who stay...make it a busier, more exciting place...the next surge will find an even higher equilibrium as users who try Mastodon find more fully acclimated users who can hold their hands as they get settled in, and also provide the vibrant community that presents a good reason for doing so."

@hasmis I do read what people reply with if they do, but that's not really why I post it. It's great to find people who think alike ofc.
@hasmis I don't really care :) I find writing is for me a good way to think things trough a bit more.
You're not stupid for using a framework, and nobody has pulled a fast one on you. https://seldo.com/posts/the_case_for_frameworks
@leemadgwick I think it might be a good thing, a return to a more responsible and reputation-based reporting culture. The only way to know an image is real is a chain of custody of trustworthy people.
@modrak_m Ah, of course, you're right, I thought you meant trade secrets which are often used to hide processes and methods.
@modrak_m @pluralistic There are very few exceptions where state secret should be able to apply, and I never buy the "private" secret argent. There is no need obligation to take on government jobs and anything purchased by the goverenment should be well described and documented. Any custom software should be public domain. Any libraries it's based on should be open source. I don't thing there will ever be a shortage of companies willing to take on those jobs, so let's use the size and monopsony power of the government to our advantage.
@pluralistic This is simply astounding, the audacity. There should be a law that makes all government contracts public and accessible on the web, at the very least.
