>> Mercedes announced Thursday it’s backtracking on its EV commitment with plans to produce gas-powered vehicles well into the next decade.

>> Mercedes-Benz now expects electrified vehicles (including hybrids) to represent 50% of total sales in 2030, drastically lower than the 100% commitment from 2021.

Oooooooof

What about creating some kind of Akismet for the fediverse?

Link for those who don't know https://akismet.com/

Or maybe we could ask @photomatt it we could create some bridge to the actual Akismet / cc @Gargron

@Tealk it could gather information about what makes those accounts different from the rest. The goal would be to have enough data to project a range of probability (say 0 to 100) that is spam, and then let instances adapt accordingly by their own thresholds

@Tealk looks very similar yeah! Didn't know about it

New from me on Fast Company: an analysis of Walmart's Vizio deal https://www.fastcompany.com/91032692/walmart-vizio-ad-business

@jank0 Will they eventually come to Europe?

@jank0 I had hopes eventually for Vizio here

@jank0@sfba.social avatar

Theoretically speaking ... if Walmart were to buy Vizio ... I'd expect an announcement before the markets open tomorrow, given that it's earnings day for Walmart.

Again, theoretically speaking.

is there a .csv anywhere to download so I could limit all the problematic instances? Or is there a website with blocklist available?

Following other people can be difficult in the Fediverse. OpenFollow tries to solve this issue with a universal URL that works for every profile.

Get your link at https://openfollow.social/

Barredo,
@Barredo@mastodon.social avatar

For instance, this would be my URL https://openfollow.social/@barredo@mastodon.social

Say goodbye to copypasting profiles.

It doesn't matter that you and I are not on the same server, or even using the same platform.

If I ever switch instances, change username or have to get a new account, all the previous openfollow.social links will still work!

Kind of a Fediverse-wide persistent and smart permalink

I said it several times, but with Ivory's latest announcement, let me repeat it: we (the Mastodon team) are working on implementing Quote Posts. This is a much more complex feature than showing a preview for a link to a post, which is done at the moment by multiple clients.

It is a complex task and we have been working on defining the feature and the protocol-level details for some time. We are moving forward, and there are fewer hard questions to answers, but progress is there.

> At Automattic last year we did not do layoffs, but allowed performance management and natural attrition (voluntary regrettable was 2.9%, non-regrettable 6.8% for us in 2023) to allow our size to shrink down more naturally, on average two people left for every person we hired last year, from a peak of about 2,064 to 1,936 today.

I watched my 5.5 year old video "AR & VR - Is this really the Future?" again and realized I was right about 7/7 of my predictions 🤯

The following are true for Vision Pro:
✅ Inside-out tracking
✅ Standalone (not plugged into PC/phone)
☑️ New platform with Vision OS (although partially relying on iPadOS/Mac)
✅ Merges AR/VR
✅ Not primarily aimed at gaming
✅ Primarily embraces windowed 2D apps
✅ Took 5+ yrs from the video making

@Barredo hi, i adore mastofeed, but this just turned on by default across all my feeds. how do i turn it off across all my feeds, without clicking through each individually? and/or can you make the setting visible from the main feeds page so i can see where it's been turned on/off?

Barredo,
@Barredo@mastodon.social avatar

@bourgwick i just added to the FAQ. The number was 50 (i hardcoded it into the config a year ago or so)
