    If you follow me and your timeline looks a little less full, it&#39;s probably because I&#39;m spending less time on the Fediverse this time and thus boosting less. Sorry if you depended on my boosting compulsion to have lively feed ;-)

    I&#39;ve had a thought about the whole #Discord thing. One of the reasons why it has become so popular even as a “#forum” thing, despite being *utterly unusable* in that sense, is that is provided single sign-on. Once logged into Discord, you could trivially join any community with zero to no effort. Compare this with the sign-up process in *any* other context and it becomes pretty clear. The only other place that offered a comparable experience was basically reddit, with its own sets of proble...

    I&#39;m loving the «it&#39;s finally autism» jokes and art but I would love it slightly better if the text read «it&#39;s finally autismn» #autumn #autism #silly

    So, I was taught that a New York minute is the time span between when a traffic light turns green and when the cars behind you start beeping their horn, which is apparently measured in microseconds. So I would like to propose the concept of a #Fediverse minute, which is the time span between when you boost a post and when it gets edited to fix its typos.

    If you think about it, the fact that soon not just Europe, but the whole world, will be literally on fire is, in fact, a very bright future. #climateChange #climateDisaster #DarkHumor #DarkHumour #Humor #Humour

    So, anybody with inside knowledge care to share how much is #Musk paying #Mozilla to reactivate the #Firefox account on #Xitter or if this was a “motu proprio” following the fact that Mozilla, too, have gone full fascists? (Which also explains why they stick with #Mullvad as #VPN?)

    The photos of the #Budapest #Pride this year, and the comments about what this may mean in general for #Hungary, protests and the #Orbán regime have made me think again about Adam-00 #webcomics https://comicfury.com/profile.php?username=Adam-00 which are a mix of #scifi and #alternateHistory with subtle and not-so-subtle #socialCommentary and #politicalCommentary 1/n #webcomic #art

    One of the things I love about discovering old #webcomics that are still running it seeing how the art changed and improved over the years. It&amp;#39;s fascinating. One of the things I hate about discovering old webcomics that are still running is that there are only 24 hours in a day and catching up takes a lot of time.

    Apparently #GrrlPower&amp;#39;s author Dave Barrack (is he on the Fediverse?) is a fan of #Kill6BillionDemons too #webcomics https://www.grrlpowercomic.com/archives/comic/grrl-power-1206-demon-days-of-whatever-season-it-is/

    @staff@mastodon.social wouldn&#39;t it make more sense to keep the local and federated timelines, but make them update manually (as in “slow mode”) rather than disabling them altogether?

    I&amp;#39;ll probably be less active here today because I&amp;#39;m trying to finish a blog post where I pour all my hate for #Google&amp;#39;s decade-long history of attacks to the #openWeb and #indieWeb and it&amp;#39;s taking way longer than I expected. EDIT: you can now read it here https://wok.oblomov.eu/tecnologia/google-killing-open-web/ and now I&amp;#39;m going to go over a full day of backlog here on‌ Fedi 8-D

    @zopyx bullshit. XSLT delivered exactly what it was supposed to deliver, doubly more so in later revisions that made it immensely more approachable. And if your problem was ever the syntax, that&#39;s what XQuery was designed for. But again, can&#39;t do surveillance capitalism with that so not supported in browsers.

    The migration from #Discord to anything else will not be a problem *only* because e.g. other chat systems to not provide a comparable UX, but *also* because each community going each separate way for *anything* (be it #chat or #forum) is that the first-time login/sign-up will have more friction than the funneling to Discord had.

    This morning while walking to work I had a thought: is it possible that the reason why the perception of the #replyGuy problem being worse on #Mastodon (and the #Fediverse in general) is due to sheer (lack of) numbers? So I came up with a simplified model to check if this was indeed sufficient to explain the phenomenon. Let&amp;#39;s assume that, similarly to Mario Cipolla&amp;#39;s Basic Laws of Human Stupidity, the fraction of reply guys in a population is a given constant ρ. 1/n #maths
