I can’t believe in this day and age marijuana is still an object of political influence.

Just legalize the shit, period. What’s with all the conditionals attached to it? You just have to marginalize users one way or the other because god forbid we have fewer things “those people” do to point fingers at.

Right? Both the Israeli and Qatari governments suck ass

I want to play that so bad right now. The cat like movement with wall-climb, plus the alien vision is easily one of my top 5 unique gaming experiences.

Hua long dong 6 is a hell of a name tho

I, too, agree with the scientists that we’re all well and truly fucked.

Right? It’s just that good!

I somehow skipped over Hollow Knight until now. I’m playing that this week, and maybe forever.
The game is dope.

<insert yo mama joke here>

I’d say it’s exactly as productive as saying “It’s no big deal if Meta joins the fediverse, It’ll be fiiiiiine”.

We should watch everything very carefully.

Read this. You’ll understand the issue a little better.

I’m not in for the giveaway, I’m just supporting the random select suggestion since you mentioned the inherent problem with upvotes.

You can use something to randomly match users with a game. Maybe you can devise a way to use a random sample generator used to group people for randomized studies.

The problem here isn’t talking to Meta or Meta making a federated platform.

Nobody can prevent Meta from doing that anyway.

The problem is the need to push against the insistence of Meta to keep these meetings off the record. It’s against the entire philosophy of something like not only fediverse but FOSS in general.

If Meta wants good faith, they have to show it first.

Notice that in the email, Kev gives his guidance as to the matter. Do whatever the fuck you want as long as you put people first and make a product for the purpose of serving them.

This should be the attitude everyone should have first.

We will accept you as long as you’re bringing value to us, not the other way round, got that Meta?

As long as any dev is taking this approach, Meta included, I’m supporting them. If someone is secretive about their intentions about a public service which is not a for profit endeavor inherently, I’ll have a hard pass too.

Great news!

I’m really happy there are some pro lgbtq news between all the attacks the community suffers constantly.

What I don’t understand with the “wait and see” people is the presupposition that it means to federate day 1 and see if they fuck things up to decide if defederation is needed. Their reasoning often includes “two clicks” as if the amount of effort defederation takes was the concern people had.

“Let’s wait and see how they behave first, and then decide if we can federate safely” is just as much a “wait and see” stance, and it should take two clicks as well.

Why do we have to get exposed first and react later when we can observe first and then decide if we want it or not?

I think (and hope) so too. Some pro leniency stances from mastodon bigwigs got me a little worried, that’s all.

They will drown us out even if they don’t want in that case. Them just using the service normally will flood all our feeds with posts from their service based on the sheer number of them.

They didn’t reverse it in the sense that they went back to human operators. They got rid of the AI by getting rid of the service altogether by the looks of things.

They want security for them and against everyone else.

It doesn’t look like the rule is from the event organizers. Most likely local government who want’s the money from the event while keeping the turnover high so that people will come, spend their money, and fuck off as soon as possible.

They want people to not be there, at least for long.
