@npub13vq…06zw @npub1edg…nfpg I'll never forget when my mother finally got hearing aids and was so pleased with them and her quality of life only to have the IoT enshittification raise the rent on "Hearing as a Service" and she had to give them up. I've not seen her that depressed before in living memory.

@npub1683…f0qg I am not a fudge-making expert but sometimes slower cooling is preferred. It can allow more air bubbles to settle out and setup for better layering depending on what you are going for.
Little Red Fridge might be a secret weapon.

Yesterday I took my ADV bike down to watch the River City Hare Scramble near Centralia. It was my first race and I wanted to try out my new camera on some action shots.
The weather was dry and hot but I got a ton of practice and even a few nice pics. I have no idea who this rider is but if you know anyone who attended please let me know as I almost certainly have some photos of them – especially the second race!
Please boost for visibility

@npub17df…m5wm @npub1ttk…x6r5 what I love most about the chronological timeline is how much it’s just like a book.
Often when I am reading I will suddenly be reminded of a previous scene and quickly shuffle a few pages (sometimes a few hundred) until I see the context and quickly find the scene I wanted to reference.
Chronological timeline feels just like that.

@npub1v2s…mqq5 first question: What is the bar for setting up my own community?
Follow ups: Do I have to pay for hefty hardware or byzantine license structures? If I choose to open that community to the larger network, who else gets a say in that? Can I setup a private community just for my family to post pictures of the kids?

@npub16y5…ym3t I should start by admitting that I am much more of a ‘traditional artist’. My process is about physically engaging with the medium to see where it will allow my artistic motives to take hold. That said, I am already wading into unexplored waters for this discussion.
I simply cannot imagine how it is possible to replace the artist. Sure, these next-generation procedural generated tools will push the envelope for a time. Our highly adapted pattern matching wetware will quickly identify them as a style. With greater adoption that style will become cliche. This will necessitate the artist to return in order to take things into a new and interesting direction, possibly even reverting it in order to stand out.
The capitalists that I hear that are mostly excited about replacing artists seem to engage with art as merely some sort of self-gratification solely unto themselves. They often describe artists as greedy or elitist and anticipate using this technology as a way to somehow humble them.

@npub1lsl…9c2x @npub1jfl…ru8c @npub1lrv…tth9 Are you saying that leaking block lists over the API was all part of their plan?
Furthermore, federation is so vital it really makes me wonder why they think they can work on other features while it pinning a TODO on the most important. I predict when they finally implement it there will be all sorts of edge cases that will lead to poor adoption. The endgame being abandoning the feature due to lack of user interest.
Once you are in their walled garden, why would they ever choose to let you out?

#[0] #[1] #[2] I guess where we don't see eye-to-eye is I am totally willing to allow power mad admins to exist and do their thing so long as the community they administer is willing to put up with it. I do not feel entitled to any audience. I do feel strong communities require moderation to enforce the norms of the group. Those heavy-handed, echo-chambered mods are completely within their rights to act as they feel is best and their users are free to associate or not with them.
You of course are free to disagree and use the instances and technology that you feel make the strongest communities.

> an admin just wipes your account
this instantly risks losing the faith of all who use the instance. Perhaps some users would be okay with this but as soon as word gets out anyone who disagrees is free to move right away and with little to no friction.
Unless you mean if an admin simply nukes the entire server which I'll admit is possible but seems counter-productive. I suppose a few people will create massively successful instances only to memory hole the whole thing for the lulz but you appear to be getting pretty far out on a limb here.

#[0] #[1] #[2] and when those existing ones no longer meet the needs of those users they may freely find a new home with very little friction. No legacy social media network allows that. In fact they actively prevent it at all costs.

#[0] #[1] #[2] run your own instance like I do and build the network you want using this freely available tech. No legacy social media comes close to that. You seem to feel entitled to an audience.

#introduction to skotchygut. My friends call me Joel. I like to cook and share recipes that everyone can enjoy. When the weather attempts to cooperate I do stuff outdoors, usually on things with wheels (motorbikes, pedal bikes, in-line skates). The rest of the time I am hiding indoors and coding on something until I get bored with it. Check my status for my latest projects. I also play music, love creative writing, enjoy attending the ballet, and all the meats of our cultural stew.
I have been obsessed with The Simpsons since the 90s and my sister says my super power is being able to relate *any* prompt to a Simpsons reference. I will try my best to use this power for good but it's not really under my control.
I am a long-time free and open source advocate and am highly prejudiced against closed systems of all varieties. I came here to demonstrate my commitment against corporate-controlled social media. I run my own pleroma instance because I like to know the gory details on our digital infrastructure.
I am originally from the East coast and my extended family remains there. Now I live in Seattle and I love it here. I am single, never married and no kids but I love my many nieces and nephews of all ages.
If you want to go for a ride or a skate, please feel free to hit me up! Seriously. It's been so tough to meet people since 2020.
