This should be named the “Attempting to Kill Open Source Software by Imposing Impossible Burdens on the Same Act.” I’m not sure that they intended this to destroy open source projects but… it may have that effect regardless.

Concur on the edit history feature / log. I’d also support an optional “rollback and lock edits” feature for mods so bad actors couldn’t just edit to seed discord.

I’d support a delete feature for posts, but people do need to understand that content released into the fediverse is out there for good, more or less.

Would I prefer that 5 people free half of their slaves versus no one freeing any slaves? Of course, why would I want everyone to stay enslaved if I could free some and continue to work to free others? Would you prefer that everyone who is currently a slave remain enslaved until we convince the entire world to free their slaves?

I think they more prefer to focus on the issue (the state of Twitter) in a post about Twitter, versus going off on tangents that would otherwise make for interesting conversation.

You’ve been hostile (“reactionary fucks”) and you’ve hijacked the broader discussion referenced in the article (Musk’s Twitter showing terrible videos including human death, animal cruelty, etc) to make a point about meat consumption generally versus videos on Twitter showing the intentional and purposeful infliction of pain on animals for pleasure.

My meat consumption is down quite a bit. Information on substitutes, good recipes, studies on the intelligence of (for example) squid and such have shifted me into eating less meat. While I’m sure you’d prefer people not eat meat at all, convincing 5 people to cut their meat consumption 50% is better than convincing 0 people to cut their meat consumption 100% , no?

The best anyone can do right now is to migrate off of Twitter entirely. As long as Musk is in charge (or in charge through his puppet CEOs) the site will be a cesspool of toxicity and hate. I’m honestly not sure why reputable people are still using the site… guess the view and media exposure are better than doing the right thing and leaving?

This is not the mental image I wanted before I finished my coffee this morning.

With respect, this approach does nothing to convince people to reduce their meat consumption, and in fact alienates people who might otherwise be on the fence about reducing their meat intake.

It’s not so much Apple is bad as “commercial providers, including Apple, aren’t great at privacy.”

Fair point… and I’ll edit the comment to reflect that. Thanks for catching the lack of nuance… guess fasting for 24 hours has me both tired and salty.

Thanks for the great summary! Also a good reminder to people that storing your backups on a “as secure as we decide it is” service like iCloud isn’t ideal if you want to protect your data from government snooping.

Edited to remove pre-coffee salt and lack of nuance.

That’s how I read it too. I guess there is a legitimate concern that Google is aiming to be the aggregated “front page of the internet” by providing the front end that people use to interact with the content they link to, but we shall see.

I use a Docker install and I only use it for my contact and my calendar, but it works well. Only “issue” that took getting used to needing to sync locally, but sync on-prem is fine… My mobile devices sync without effort when I come home, so… yeah. Great experience.
