I'm okay with an algorithm as long as it's

a) optional and b) transparent (meaning explicitly customizable/trainable by me, so it's clear what it's doing)

OMG, I had no idea that even Mastodon had spammers! ❓ 😮

@shyhustler It's almost like every time people get together to talk in some place, there's always someone who wishes to invasively advertise their shit or just cause trouble for whatever or no reason. Algorithmic solutions might help, but they are not perfect, and this becomes an arms race, which may actually hurt legitimate users.

The only option is mop them up and raise barriers to entry (read: CAPTCHAs and closed registrations), which, again, hurts legitimate users.

Or just let the nature take its course and make peace with low signal-to-noise ratio, which also hurts legitimate users, who then leave because shouting over noise is rarely fun.

Hey the !
Today, I have released the version 0.1.0 of my new project, f2ap, an application that adds a compatibility layer for to your website thanks to your / feed!

You can see a running example at @blog! 🤩

Currently, only the support for Mastodon is guaranteed, but there are a lot of other platforms out there. If you are on another social platform, please help me document the platforms support! 🙏

if you've ever messed up a dimension or a hole position on something you're building, don't be too hard on yourself.

at least you're not the Cisco design engineer who caused an entire product line recall by placing the mode button (which resets the switch if held) directly above an RJ45 port.

This feels appropriate for the second thing I've ever posted to mastodon.

Symmetry's overrated, methinks
Look at the scars all over the Sphinx
Even the planet spins with a tilt
Everybody's built like a quilt
Trees in the forest fall to the side
Everybody's got something to hide
Except for me and my suitcase full of imperfections
If the court has no objections…

Symmetry's overrated, methinks
Look at the scars all over the Sphinx
I am lopsided, and so are you
Nothing worth loving isn't askew

Don't get me wrong: objectively speaking, Linux software management situation is miles ahead of what Windows has to offer. The idea of repositories and package managers (which, in layman's world transformed into "App stores" and "Software centers") is actually something we, the *nix community, take pride in, rightfully so.

Compared to that, Windows has NO software management, basically to this day.

But it can be better. It HAS to be better if we want to move somewhere.

Diversity is great, but too much of a good thing is still a bad thing. Systemd being adopted by almost all Linux distributions made the ecosystem on the whole immesurably easier to manage and great deal more predictable. Whatever the distribution, you have a common frame of reference.

Something akin to this must happen to software packages.

Friendly reminder: "X as a service" is just a misleading corporate euphemism for "pay forever for not owning it".

"Software as a service" actually means "pay forever for not owning the software".

"Games as a service" actually means "pay forever for not owning games".

"Infrastructure as a service" actually means "pay forever for not owning the hardware".

And so on.

There is no "cloud", it's just someone else's computers

Хм. Если бы драконы существовали, то скорее всего они были бы по большей части травоядные.
