- Comment on One major issue with social media is that it operates on a first come, first served basis. This essentially rules out the possibility of well-considered, well-researched content being successful. 7 hours ago:
What you do is you go into the tumblr mines to screenshot someone else’s considered takes, and then be the first to post it somewhere else.

I would go broader and say that the privilege of wealth is freedom from consequences.
- Comment on The current system of online advertising has been ruled illegal 2 days ago:
This is a win for everyone in Europe, and possibly beyond. [Emphasis mine.] Companies may no longer secretly track your behavior based on “consent” given under pressure. Hopefully, this will not only put an end to these dubious practices, but also to those pesky cookie banners.
But we’re not there yet. Regulators have ruled the system illegal, and the court’s ruling has now confirmed it. Still, the companies making billions from this model won’t stop on their own. That’s why European regulators must now truly step up: enforce the law and make sure these companies actually comply.
Regulators try not to get compromised by lobbyists when billions of dollars are at stake.
I sincerely wish you good luck.

I use Caesium for image compression.
Not shilling, since both seem to be free and open-source image compressors.
How’s MAZANOKE different?

It sounds like a protection racket.

All the models, at some point, returned answers that were entirely wrong. ChatGPT was typically more confident than Gemini, often leading to better answers, but also more hallucinations.
No.
- Comment on What is the cutoff distance when you point and say [thing] is "here" or [thing] is "there"? 6 days ago:
Where is the person I’m talking to?
Where is the person/thing I’m talking about?
I’m sure there are grammar rules for when to use which, but anyone who speaks English could tell you that’s neither here nor there.
- Comment on How will we deal with all the broken images? 1 week ago:
Testing testing…
It works when I use the direct link (i.postimg.cc/15GydqG9/Image-20250602-145924.jpg).
When I use the regular link (i.postimg.cc/15GydqG9/Image-20250602-145924.jpg), it says media not found in Voyager.

Texas moved closer to becoming the next state with a right to repair law on the books, as the state Senate unanimously voted 31 - 0 to finalize HB 2963 this weekend. It would require manufacturers to make spare parts, manuals, and necessary tools available for equipment sold or used in the country’s second most populated state.

I support content creators being able to make a living in the fediverse (without enshittifying it).
So… good luck. I hope you find a healthy way to go about it.

Shouldn’t you have talked to them before starting the non-profit?
I do not claim to have any expertise (and defo not an accountant), but that sounds backwards to me.

revenue share or something for content creators
Where’s the revenue coming from? The content creators paying to store their own videos?

I remember someone tried to monetize Mastodon feeds like Substacks or something.
It didn’t last long.
I can’t imagine any way to monetize content other than individual Patreons or collective subscriptions (like Nebula, Curiosity Stream and whatever Linus Tech Tips thing is called).

- Comment on One of the best manga in a long time will be cancelled unless fans help 2 weeks ago:
We pulled this off for Love Bullet by blowing it up on Twitter and selling it out even from overseas.
I don’t know about this series, but these are my first impressions from the first chapter:
What kind of pansy-ass plot...

Understandable.
Horn waifu about to get isekai'd.

Climax of the movie right here.

Yes, but that would only work if her group chat friends also use Signal.
Which likely isn’t going to happen unless all of their friends also use Signal.
- Comment on Discord unveils Discord Orbs, a new in-app currency that users can earn by completing Quests, which reward participants who interact with ads 2 weeks ago:
As of right now, Revolt does not feature any federation and it is not in our feature roadmap.
However, this does not necessarily mean federation is off the table, possible avenues are:
- Implement our own federation protocol
- Implement a promising up and coming federation protocol, polyproto
- Implement the Matrix protocol (unlikely, obtuse and unstable)
- Implement the XMPP protocol (battle-tested and stable)

- Comment on Most of us will leave behind a large ‘digital legacy’ when we die. Here’s how to plan what happens to it 2 weeks ago:
In 2017, I helped develop key recommendations for planning your digital legacy. These include:
- creating an inventory of accounts and assets, recording usernames and login information, and if possible, downloading personal content for local storage
- specifying preferences in writing, noting wishes about what content should be preserved, deleted, or shared – and with whom
- using password managers to securely store and share access to information and legacy preferences
- designating a digital executor who has legal authority to carry out your digital legacy wishes and preferences, ideally with legal advice
- using legacy features on available platforms, such as Facebook’s Legacy Contact, Google’s Inactive Account Manager, or Apple’s Digital Legacy.

I was going to say something snarky and stupid, like “all traps are vagina-shaped,” but then I thought about venus fly traps and bear traps and now I’m worried I’ve stumbled onto something I’m not supposed to know.
