Tbh mastodon and pleroma hadn't even ocurred to me for this project. Plus, I know more about the twitter API than I do mastodon / pleroma so it seemed a natural fit.

On your last point, you're spot on. I've already had the account banned and reinstated for spamming. Even though I was posting to my own account only...

Are there any apps or setting which reduce the saturation of colours? I notice that in many publicly available screens, such as in gyms, the saturation is extremely high drawing my attention to it. I find that this is also the case on my iPhone and Mac.

Certainly I can go monotone. But not desaturate partially.

This policy feels to be synonymous with having a political officer aboard a soviet submarine…

If gas lighting is a form of boundary violation, and I’m stretching here, could it be classified as mind-rape?

America has _spent_ its oil buffer. It’s important to note the difference between a intentional use of an asset vs an unintentional loss of an asset.

Nah, safe.

There’s a lot of discussion here on the topic of cancel culture, deplatforming and the responsibilities of private entities.

It may be useful to clarify in our responses if we mean the above or our ability to express ourselves free from persecution by the government.

This raises a good question. Is it the model that produces racist, sexist or any other ‘ist ’ results inherently racist? Or is it how we use it?

Is the knife a murderer or the person who wields it?

I originally created a gist with a bunch of curl commands that were difficult to figure out due to poor documentation. So it’s good to see someone creating a cli.

It might be pointless to do so, however you could also make it illegal for the existing employees to continue to work in the respective industry. It would prove to be a huge incentive to ensuring best practice.

Because those are big words with big concepts behind them. All of which require an educations and an individual with drive to breach a new topic, study it and bring home data. Which is a rare thing.

Is it aggregation if you're scraping from one site and reordering the items you've scraped?

I agree. I would also add that to make it easier to understand: the mind is running on a substrate, the weather is not.

I love that there are people far more educated than me who are also paid to explore these topics.

A while ago I was pretty certain that gravity was emergent and was caused by Gluon Colour Confinement. Here was my incredibly naive rationale:

Assumption for the purposes of this idea that gravity is not an absolute, gravity is an emergent phenomenon.

My logic

Gravity around a black hole Photons can't escape Heavier particles and even molecules can't escape

Gravity around a planet sized mass Photons can escape Heavier particles and even molecules can escape

Gravity is not a force that acts at a distance (absolute) Spacetime is being dragged into any object with mass (emergent)

We are not being 'pulled' into the earth We are being 'kept under' by a shower of space time being consumed

---

What causes this 'consumption' of spacetime around objects with mass?

IMO The current moderation model centres around moderating the things people communicate so as not to offend others. And results in attempts at keeping all communications in the sphere ‘pure’.

Social media however has grown far beyond what I think the original inventors intended at the time of creation. couple that with a multitude of legal jurisdictions and levels of sensitivity I fee we can no longer keep the environment clean to so many different standards and must instead switch to a model which is more akin to defaulting to being exposed to nothing and choosing over time to be exposed to some categories of potentially offensive things.

I did have a stab at this and fee it needs refining for sure. Wether this is a valid attempt or not, I think the worry that the current moderation model isn’t adequate is grounded in reality.

Typing from phone. Sorry.

I suspect its a dig at terrible airline food.

And in addition to that, wary of my lack of knowledge in this area, will the change be passed down the generations?

The topic of programmable money aside, Why centralise the ability to freeze an account? If I deem someone (or some organisation) to be a bad actor I would like to block the ability to make payments to them and put that account number on a publicly visible register.

Now this organically created list can be consumed by other people or organisations effectively excluding them from receiving payments.

They look amazing. Is there a way to requeset custom illutrations?
