Apparently someone is threatening to have the instance Iโm on defederated if they donโt get rid of me, because I posted that the Mastodon DM system is dangerously broken and non-intuitive.
So, if either of those things happen, it was nice knowing you all. (Well, some of you all, anyway.)
Is there a built-in way to to partial resolution from the container in #Laravel?
I have a class that takes a model and then a few service classes. The model obviously isn't resolvable from the container, but the rest of the services are.
@dandb Not sure I fully understand your use-case but maybe using container events you can fill the model when resolving? or maybe using the container to resolve the service classes inside the constructor and using makeWith() when creating the class?
I have a very basic #activitypub question. How easy would it be to make the AT Protocol interoperate with ActivityPub? Could a developer just write some code to do that tomorrow, or would it require the AT Protocol devs to change something in their code to make that possible?
@annaleen There's some people already working on something like that, you can check out this group where they are discussing about it @activitypubblueskybridge
Really, I don't know who need to hear this, but most of the controls on the fediverse regarding what happens with your posts (opt-out of search engines, what your posts are used for, whether they are indexed...) are based on good faith, not on actual tech. Like, if I run an instance and build a search functionality for all federated posts, but I don't say anything, you can't know. Heck, you could even do that using the API, no need for a full instance.
I want to ask people who believe that you should not be able to search for things on social media how they expect folks to find out ANY information if the amount of searchable non-social media content is shrinking and declining in usefulness?
@grmpyprogrammer
I'd like to add to your question (in case it actually reaches somebody like that), how are search services that respects opt-out options from users worse than Google, who is already indexing and providing search results for most mastodon?
@ramsey
I have the feeling that most of the people that complain the loudest about how and where their post get don't fully grasp that "federation" means that your posts literally get copied to a lot of other ppl's servers, and once that happens, it's impossible for you to know what they do with them.
The #dutch language is full of weird metaphors. Bekokstoven. Schering en inslag. Aap uit de mouw. Full of pragmatism. Falling in love again with my heritage. Still hating the colonialism and slave trade part, obviously.
So in the wake of the @nova resignation and #hachyderm drama, it seems to come down to the fundraising rule.
This rule seems to be born out of a fear of โbeggingโ spam.
In theory, I can see how this could become a problem.
But, @nivenly / @hachyderm (hachyderm admins), is it really a justifiable fear?
Has it happened before?
How bad would it even be? Is the local timeline really that valuable (I donโt use it)?
Do you not see how super gentrified it looks to oust the beggars?
@maegul@nova@nivenly@hachyderm what I don't get, whether you agree with the rule or not, is how it affects other instances to the point of threatening defederation, I mean, you can disagree and think is bad, but it's hachyderm's problem, isn't it? It isn't like Nazis are allowed or harassment reports are ignored ๐คท
Things are getting pretty weird on #hachyderm. The person who started the instance decided to quit out of the blue (???) and I've seen some fediblocking going around due to server rules.
I have lots of sympathy for burnout of course, but I assume the stability/continuation of the instance is in question now.
@drmorr@aburka Agreed, the situation is not ideal but imo this is for the better (although I don't agree at all with what happened). The Nivenly foundation is now fully in charge and there's no one-person to directly get attacked behind the instance. I think in practical terms nothing is going to change for us the users.
@aburka@drmorr Indeed, having options is always good and experimenting and trying other things/places even better. I just agreed that there shouldn't be rush running out because the building is not on fire (imo).
@nova :blobfoxheartcute: Sad to see you go but glad you are able to do it before it affects your mental health badly. Thanks for everything you did! @nivenly
@rmondello while unwise to use such a high limit, I like hmac-bcrypt from @epixoip as The Wayโข to go safely past bcrypt's 72 bytes limit without using passkeys :blobfoxdrakelike:
@SwiftOnSecurity oh, I didn't know crime was illegal, can you tell me the ways you wouldn't be able to detect a criminal so I can be sure to avoid them?
