A suggestion for the "handling ambiguity" part: some people specify their preferences in their profile description, so looking there might be effective.

@RexxieCat

... and cause injuries to people launching them and (rarely) bystanders.

What are the environmental problems you refer to? Is is about burning whatever provides the colorful light, or about littering with unburnt remains, or something else?

@delroth well, then everyone who has an app talk to their backend over TCP (and records that fact) collects that: they know that the user is in a ball of diameter equal to maximum rtt for TCP.

@andrewstroehlein There are so many unused avenues of petty (or grand) vandalism that would also be e.g. visually spectacular or otherwise amusing.

@retr0id

Some of them do it in the most obvious sense (i.e. they have manufacturer-provided private key used to sign statements that mean "this enrollment has been processed by a u2f key produced by the manufacturer").

But fair point, if we define "remote attestation" as a mechanism that prevents the user from substituting parts of the system with self-developed replacements then unless the former is used _or_ the user uses a pre-enrolled u2f key, they can always use a software-emulated u2f key.

@retr0id Would that ban U2F tokens with nonextractable keys?

@gregeganSF

It seems to me that your fiction used to be more hopeful about outcomes (e.g. Clockwork Rocket, Reasons to be Cheerful, or Bit Players had endings with mostly-universally-hopeful outcomes, esp. in comparison with e.g. Perihelion Summer, Solidity, or Light Up The Clouds). However, when I tried to see whether my impression is actually correct, I failed to confirm it (by trying to compare set of stories from older and newer compilations).

I wonder whether you think this impression has a basis in reality, and if so, whether this is an intentional change.

@madargon GMail has had something like that for some time, and the suggested responses were sometimes amusing, but never useful for me.

@mttaggart

I think "trusted" plays a similar role for me.

@delroth Is it only longer, or both longer and thicker?

I would dearly like to see more ActivityPub clients as opposed to Mastodon clients, and with the current sad state of proxy fetching anything not publicly fetchable is hard to observe for such clients. (Sure, they'd need the rest of c2s implemented to actually write something, but readonly ones are already pretty useful.) Thus I'd really like us not to do mostly-ineffective public-except-for-blocks posts, because they're not public enough for such clients to see them but also don't help that much against the original problem.

@schmittlauch @ilja @rysiek

Note that some other instance could forward a reply to an instance of your follower. (You can't avoid that without giving instances of your followers an oracle for querying your blocklist.)

@niconiconi is there an easy to phrase heuristic for the value of the proportionality constant in the exponent?

@pixelfed do you already have a description of how this looks like from the pov of the activitystreams layer? In particular, is like to understand if/how other instances get to know the original post's author's wishes, so that they can apply them to comments they've received directly.

@whitequark I don't consider myself disabled in any way, and think this is a good advice for people like me too: i find it easy to enter a positive feedback loop of undersleeping and finding it fine to take a nap ~whenever reduces the strength of the feedback significantly.
