Does that third also take into account any differences in manufacturing them? In other words, the entire lifecycle.

It does https://try-setanta.ie/

I don’t understand how the eye movement camera fits in to the experiment. I was wondering if any stories, even audiobooks and TV series have the same effect but I’m no clearer from reading the article.

Best skin I’ve seen on any social site. Nice job.

Just because it’s not tailored to your personal preferences doesn’t make it “shit”. For anyone who doesn’t want to manage code, Wordpress is worth considering.

Personally, I’d like to maintain Wordpress locally and offline. Then each update exported to the server as a static site. I just haven’t found a thorough enough tutorial online yet.

The only people arguing for it omit moral considerations, which is sad to see so widespread. There’s a certain price not worth paying for our toys.

I’m not having a conversation that compares people signing up to their favourite social media channel with people who suffer systemic discrimination every day in their lives.

It’s not being mean to them. Calling them names or something would be mean.

And they are not oppressed. Oppressed people don’t have choices.

But you support/validate the service by interacting with your contacts.

If a Mastodon instance was run by someone who allowed a genocide to be fuelled by their platform, and earn money from the advertising, I think we’d defederate in a heart beat. It just doesn’t seem consistent to federate with them.

But they are inseparable.

Name-calling isn’t necessary at all, if that’s what happening. That said, would you behave this way in a restaurant?

I organise a small group gathering at a local pub sometimes with people who aren’t close friends. If it’s just one person not buying in a decent sized group, then it doesn’t cause a problem for the venue as far as I know. When we’re huddled in a corner it’s hard to tell who has what drink.

But you simply wouldn’t get away with that if it wasn’t for the others buying drinks and we do so to “pay the rent” so to speak. So when that happens there is a vibe of “I’m fine with you guys covering me here”. Saying “I don’t spend money in bars” isn’t that different to saying “I let others spend their money at bars”.

Now if this was a group of good friends, or someone I knew was struggling financially, I’d be fine with it.

“spammy/toxic instances” - Meta are a toxic company. They literally have blood on their hands.
“too liberal with defederation” - we’re talking about one body specifically; Threads. Nothing else.

As to whether it should be done at an admin or individual level, I have no idea. But they’re an unethical company and people less privileged than you and I have died while they profit from it. That alone is enough reason for anyone with empathy IMO.

So if an instance federated with loads of other instances but not Threads, I’m not a social network anymore? That makes no sense to me.

Isn’t he also the SO creator? Anyway, I’m sure he understands the technology, yes. And maybe I misinterpreted him. But it sounded like he’s saying that if we don’t federate with Threads, then there’s no point in being on the fediverse, because we’re effectively isolationists”. That’s simply untrue.

He has some strange takes there, as if federating is mandatory. Servers do block instances and defederate. it’s not misuse of activitypub to do so.

I don’t know what’s the right choice. But some arguments are a bit off to me.

We’re obviously not getting the hint!

Take the time to develop more understanding, and therefore empathy for yourself and others. You’ll never truly do anything worthwhile without empathy.
