I believe there's a chance we might unknowingly be in an interstellar war in which the first consciousness to spread itself throughout the universe will dictate how consciousness is experienced until the heat death of the universe. Thus, it's my duty as a human-derived consciousness to ensure that whatever survives this war is a consciousness compatible with our notions of justice so that future conscious descendants of our species may enjoy the same benefits (or more) than we currently have. This belief has several practical implications day-to-day for me; my utility function is to maximize the chance that human-derived consciousness survives long enough into the future (until the universe allows so).

#Twitter has cornered the marking on political hot-taking. When you come to #Mastodon you find it's not so political and there are no (or very few) long-established, infamous hot-takers leading the charge.
With Twitter you can say the right things and fit in with an already established crowd and help to promote whatever politics you're into.
Mastodon doesn't have that, nor does it have the opposition saying all their shitty things for people to rally against.

FYI for newbies
Twitter has algorithms to get you engaged. Mastodon does not. So in order to enjoy Mastodon you have to take some time to reach out and find content and follow folks that you enjoy. Don't expect Mastodon to send you random popular posts to keep you engaged, you have to curate your own feed. But this is good! It gives you control.

Well, hello there! I'm new to this instance, but not new to Mastodon. I migrated from mastodon.online, looking for a community more aligned with my interests (science, engineering, astronomy, gaming). I mainly author posts about astronomy and gaming, and comment/share posts about tech in general. Glad to join!
After all this drama with Elon acquiring Twitter, I've seen some threads depicting how dramatic some fedi instances are, banning people for no valid reason - thus convincing people on Twitter not to move to Mastodon. For one, I'm happy our admins at @QOTO don't engage in any of that BS.
Aim is to become so unique that I crash the simulation so when the programmer of the universe looks at the stack trace of the program, she finds me so interesting that it will be inclined to replicate my source code, thus, I shall pass on my essence to other simulation instances.
Hi @freemo, it seems that for some reason, qoto.org doesn't like my IP address?
Are you aware of other members having similar issues, and if so, how might I fix it? It seems that I'm only able to connect to qoto.org when using a VPN. So, either qoto is banning me, or my ISP decided to ban qoto. The weird thing is that my mobile carrier also seems not to allow me to go to qoto.org either (different provider to home internet). Additionally, I could not join using my university wifi either.

UK politics
Boris Johnson misled the British public prior to BREXIT, oversaw a BREXIT deal which is unworkable in Northern Ireland, mishandled the early stages of the pandemic, lied about parties at No. 10, and misled parliament (a resigning issue according to the ministerial code) on at least one occasion.
The irony ... I just wrote a toot about software being crappy and mastodon app (tusky) crashed
Hands down the most stressful week I've had in years. Pray for me fellas
I shall take the blue egg for my mind can't handle more reality

“[#ElonMusk] echoes a long-standing interest by [#JackDorsey] and others at #Twitter, including new CEO #ParagAgrawal, in a future version of Twitter that’s ‘#decentralized’. A #web3 Twitter, if you will. […] Users will be able to configure their own #moderation, no centralized authority.”

Not Invented Here? Guys, we have the #Fediverse and #Mastodon already! (No need for #crypto BS for this.)

do i know anybody who has done an #embedded #rust project? could use another pair of eyes on mine
i got a bootloader onto my atsamd21-based custom board, got my blink-a-single-led with custom bsp code to compile
but when i load it onto the chip, from what i'm seeing in gdb, it seems like it's stuck in a loop somewhere in peripheral initialization (cortex-m/src/peripheral/mod.rs) never even reaching my main function
frustrated 😕
Everything is bullshit. Life is meaningless. Hedonistic pleasures have consumed me. I now crave death so that I don't have to look at myself. I can't stand myself.

Yay! My pull request implementing 2FA for #mastodon.el just got merged after 3 months of discussions, fixes and tests.
https://codeberg.org/martianh/mastodon.el/pulls/255
Thanks to the maintainer for merging and more importantly moving the Mastodon.el development away from proprietary #Github to #codeberg

ok wild theory:
one reason named for why putin started the war is that he surrounded himself with yes-men tailoring reports to what putin wants to hear.
from how it looks this is exactly how the west at large operates currently. politicians of both camps say the same stuff. scientists are listened to if it matches the narrative. media is only valid if it repeats the narrative, otherwise it's fake news or *gasp russian misinformation.
it's exactly the same thing, just different flavor!

Someone is abusing RF to create images in the RF spectra waterfall. While I'm not happy they are jamming the frequencies I must admit this is kinda cool.

Why everybody use Matrix instead of XMPP?
