@danilo I was in high school and I was able to like, record music videos off the family TV onto VHS, then splice my favorite clips into fan vids via the all-in-wonder. It was so good.

@brennen @casey oh! Yeah that would work. I just always assumed it was the lady's own eye? But your interpretation makes it work as an actual joke so let's go with that

sorry for dave barryposting on main

@nixfreak I am actually revamping my website to have a landing page for this but basically:

https://github.com/hometown-fork/hometown/wiki
https://dolphin.town/about/more
https://github.com/dariusk/rss-to-activitypub
https://tinysubversions.com/notes/activitypub-tool/

Plus a bunch of documentation to enable experimentation, like

@onelson you seen FAULTS (2014)? pretty good one soooort of along these lines, though more suspense than horror

@luke no, it's a work in progress. I'll announce it when it's done

@SasquatcherGeneral that's so good! Chest hair rules, I'm so proud of mine, love to wear a deep vee

EDIT: Okay so! I made a claim that Figma embedded a PNG in an SVG and it is possible that what happened was a designer put a raster image into figma and then the engineer who exported this assumed it was built from individual elements. It looks like if you group non-raster elements and export SVG it will give you a zip with a single, non-exploded-into-individual-layers SVG file.

My mistake, once again bitten by people not using Figma how Figma wants you to use it

This way, pretty much the only hot takes you see are the takes from people you personally follow. And if you don't like those takes, you can push back because you have an actual relationship with that person, or accept that maybe they are just going through some shit right now and move on with your day, or you just unfollow/mute them and never see their takes again

@rose_alibi nope

@roadriverrail lol

"We've also tried to suggest silent following for ActivityPub (which is a protocol that is behind all federated social networks) which would allow instances to follow public posts without notifying users, but it didn't get much traction as it was seen as "a huge privacy and security risk"."

@deadsuperhero the series is basically: railroads the first 30%, opens up a bit for the next 60%, then the last 10% is back on rails

@college_physics I do not think we need a replacement for mass social media. We need something weirder and different and definitely, definitely not simple on any conceptual level

@garbados I am really interested in what happens when servers start federating multiple content types per spec!

@me @tedu repeating what I just wrote (simultaneous to your post): yup. it basically does not work for non-Mastodon servers right now and I have been having a hell of a time debugging beyond "it's some sort of problem with http-signatures probably"

@emma it comes from twitter (and maybe other platforms) where saying "kill" would get you shadowbanned or suspended (supposedly). people say it on fediverse either ironically or because they don't know better

@Riedl if people had to understand things we would simply not have technology

@stpaultim When I made a social network server where the only letter you can use is "E", it was not categorized that way. There are many, many ideas that do not exist even remotely close to surveillance.

@AmyDentata it is the message that appears when the account you are looking at is on a server that has been muted by your server. Often it has to do with the server the account is on having mostly normal people but also admins who don't keep their spam problem under control
