@ANGELGIRL1976 @WingnutKV @amorphisbear @Marvella @summersun704 @lynnskyi It actually ends up not being a lot of it. I think it's a 6-pack or something like that, which is part of what makes it so expensive.
I strongly encourage you to demand your Mastodon instance use AUTHORIZED_FETCH.
The basic story is this:
If you block someone, you can’t see them & their posts, etc. BUT without AF, they can still see you & your posts.What does AUTHORIZED_FETCH actually do?
https://hub.sunny.garden/2023/06/28/what-does-authorized_fetch-actually-do/Why AUTHORIZED_FETCH isn’t defaulted on… Knowing what I now know, I would move to a new instance if my admin would not turn AF on. It’s a huge security issue.
It’s a stalkers field day without AUTHORIZED_FETCH.

Hey. So as major platforms start to fall apart, don’t necessarily look for the next big one.
Dust off your blog.
Go back to establishing web-rings.
RSS feeds. Remember those?
This is the way to share good stuff. You don’t need a centralized platform for that.
As hams, we should know that.
Stanley is here to give you your Monday performance review.
He thinks you did great and he’s proud of you for making it through the day.
Dear people who don’t understand chronic illness/invisible disabilities –
* believe me when I say I’m too exhausted to absorb what you are saying or discuss something complex
* believe me when I say I’m too tired to put away groceries or walk to something a block away
* understand that things that take you trivial amounts of energy can be exhausting for me
* BELIEVE ME

We have some catching up to do.
What’s surprising isn’t that Kennedy voiced an anti-Jewish conspiracy, but that it took this long.

Sometimes Elon stans call me out on Twitter when people post the “cars and rockets” post, demanding to know what stupid things Elon says about software.
Here’s a primo example.
In this exchange, Elon thinks Adam Mosseri is adding rate limits to Threads just like he added them to Twitter, and that he “copied” Elon.
Anyone who understands software knows Adam is talking about WRITE rate limits to curb spam posts. Elon implemented READ rate limits in an application that relies on ad impressions.
Boost if you’re old enough to remember ZMODEM.
At the dawn of computers, newsrooms thought their “content” is what made them valued, so they each needed special “systems” to “manage” it. They commodified content until it lost value; so did their CMSes. Here is word that Vox, which made a big deal of creating its own CMS–licensing it to other news organizations–is dropping it for WordPress. Newsrooms are not each so special after all.
Wait, what?
“Israel Struggling to Recover Ancient Artifacts Trump Took to Mar-a-Lago”
“The former president up and stole antiquities that were lent to the White House for a Hanukkah celebration in 2019”

Who called it the heat index instead of holy shit kill me now?
For a first time and on barely a week’s notice, I think #AltTextCoverDay went very well. Thank you to everyone who participated.
What do folks think about making this a yearly thing? Say the third Monday in July?
