> Adobe Tells Users They Can Get Sued for Using Old Versions of Photoshop

We need tools to get to the point where they can replace Adobe tools. Open alternatives are great, but they are sadly not there yet to replace Adobe tools for professionals.

And won't be unless projects like @inkscape get enough funding to develop to a point of being viable alternatives.

Yes, it is in no small part about the money.

@darktable @patrick_h_lauke @tek_dmn @rysiek I wonder if anybody has explored the idea of finding a sequence of edits that would give you picture A from picture B. Then people could export both the original and edited image and rebuild the edits from the image comparison.

What happened last night?

A few hours ago on our instance, HTTP requests and the Sidekiq “pull” queue shortly spiked very high and then went down again.

Anyone else seen something similar?

Same time range of Sidekiq queue depth, showing a simultaneous spike too

@esther pinned posts from the profiles that are favoring/boosting the successful post, maybe? I don't remember if that's part of the account resolution Mastodon does when coming across a previously unknown account, honestly.

I'm no longer getting notifications when people reply to my posts and mention @johncarlosbaez. The only way I can see these replies is to go back, look at old posts of mine, and scroll down to see if there are new comments.

This is a problem. It wasn't always like this, and I don't remember doing anything that caused this.

Are other people on Mathstodon getting notified of replies to their posts? If so, what settings do I have wrong?

Here are my notification preferences. I'm confused by how it says "Events for email notifications" on top. I don't want email notifications; I want notifications to show up where it says "Notifications" next to the little 🔔 on the web version of Mastodon. The notifications I'm missing are replies to my posts where people mention me. I do get notifications when people boost my my posts.

Help!

I don't really understand the attacks on the mastodon app. There are many apps out there. Nobody is forcing you to use their app or to use mastodon.social. The fediverse is bigger than any one instance or app. Let's build a bigger fediverse and not fall into the trap of infighting, OK?

oblomov,
@oblomov@sociale.network avatar

@shoq @jwildeboer I agree with the sentiment, but one should also consider that most people go with defaults. This means:

  • most people on Android, if they ever decide to try Mastodon, will go with the official app
  • again because of defaults, most people will end up on m.s, and this is problematic.
    In some sense, the fact that most people go with defaults means that the defaults should be kept to a higher standard than the others.

I wonder if I have enough active followers now to try again the “guess the comic from the soundtrack” quiz.

oblomov,
@oblomov@sociale.network avatar

Now, the that is the target of this quiz has a different approach to the , one that feels almost : not all scenes in the comic have a soundtrack, but those that do (and you're told when one does) track the music with the sequence of panels in a very distinctive way, leading you to actually reading the scene at the speed and rhythm dictated by the music.

oblomov,
@oblomov@sociale.network avatar

So, the will be in a «20 questions» format. I will post the soundtrack (links to the actual music) and then I'll wait for you people to try and guess things about the comic, phrased as yes/no questions (unless you think you know what comic I'm taking about, in which case I'd prefer a private message with the attempted guess). Also it's OK if we go past 20, I'm just really curious to see how much you can guess about the comic just from the soundtrack.

This post <https://mastodon.social/@atomicpoet/110324744213270043> from @atomicpoet about an important administration decision (defederation of calckey.social from mastodonapp.uk) is very interesting for multiple reasons.

  • worse, the notification could easily become a trigger for adversarial campaigns, fueling some of the worst “social behavior” that would not be stoked otherwise.

(FWIW, I'm not here with an alternative solution, as I don't have one ATM. But I do think this is something the Fediverse needs to think about long and hard —and find a solution, fast.)

5/5

oblomov,
@oblomov@sociale.network avatar

If you think about it, what this means is that despite its promises, you do not own your social graph on the Fediverse, as third-party action can severe it without warning or even notification of it happening.

(PSA: you can use command-line tools like toot <https://github.com/ihabunek/toot> to backup your social graph. You may want to get into the habit to do it periodically, just to be on the safe side. Also protects you from mistakes like this <https://federate.social/@mattblaze/110318081572887843> by @mattblaze)

@erion a distributed/nomadic identity system where all clients could act a single-user servers automatically (with some automatic configuration mechanism to minimize user intervention) would do a lot to alleviate the issue too

The “client as server” thing I don't think has been explored yet.

    Hanlon's razor — "never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity" — is very relevant to the apocalypticist BS.

    It's not some future "superintelligent" AI maliciously killing people that we should worry about.

    It's the poorly trained, not sufficiently understood, impossible to audit "AIs" already killing people (or otherwise fscking lives up) we need to tackle.
