Pence's response to a jury finding Trump liable for sexual assault is that he never personally witnessed Trump sexually assault a woman when he was VP

@juddlegum I've never witnessed a murder therefore no one has ever been murdered.

A deep dive on Andreessen Horowitz's latest "State of Crypto" report. In short: they want people to keep buying crypto, and are not above publishing blatant falsehoods to convince them to do so.

The report itself is 60 pages long, so this is a long one.

@louis @jele @fdroidorg i am on the Discord server and must have missed that. What channel and time is the message on?

stinerman,
@stinerman@mastodon.social avatar

@louis i find that to be a poor summarization of what he said. He said that the mid-sized instances are generally not good for random people who want a "Twitter" experience. They are good for "whatever community wants to use them to be isolated amongst themselves."

I've been disappointed with Eugen on several issues, but he didn't say anything about how non-large instances should be isolated from others.

@fdroidorg it's too bad how this went down. I wish @Mastodon would have been easier to work with on this issue.

welcome to the industry, where the bar is on the floor

I’m suddenly being reminded, not of Coinbase’s missteps, but of the good times. The boring times. The times when Coinbase did absolutely nothing. The times when, for instance, CEO Brian Armstrong didn’t secretly send my money to an affiliated hedge fund. Or the time he didn’t gamble my funds away on his own exchange, then go to India and die in possession of the only keys to what was left over. Or the time he didn’t lie about Coinbase’s finances. Or the time his entire system didn’t collapse and he didn’t flee to Serbia.

@molly0xfff i feel lucky because my credit union hasn't unexpectedly closed my account and embezzled my money.

"We believe it’s important for Mastodon to be good as a product on its own merits, and not just because of its ideology. If we only attract people who already care about decentralization, our ability to make decentralization mainstream becomes that much harder."

@fancysandwiches @dusnm @crispinb @molly0xfff @ScienceisWhere yes this was done specifically because people think it's too difficult to sign up and pick a server. I am against there being a default but the number of people who want to "get on Mastodon" and fail is why this happened.

stinerman,
@stinerman@mastodon.social avatar

@dusnm @fancysandwiches @crispinb @molly0xfff @ScienceisWhere I agree that there should be a better way. However we've found from complaints that a sort of random selection can get users sent to poorly moderated instances. Or where admins are not flexible (one example was of an admin that demanded everything have a CW) when the user refused they got suspended. That's not a good experience.

("we" refers to us on the Discord channel discussing these issues; I don't speak for Mastodon gGmbH)

stinerman,
@stinerman@mastodon.social avatar

@dusnm @fancysandwiches @crispinb @molly0xfff @ScienceisWhere yes I think something like that is ideal.

A Florida school district just restricted access to a picture book about the life of Betty White

This is not a joke.

RT @FLFreedomRead

The picture book THAT’S BETTY: THE STORY OF BETTY WHITE was added to the restricted list in @ecpsfl today.

Challenged for being “content and age inappropriate” as outlined in HB1557!

(yes, it’s Vicki again)

Randomly noting: if you're in the US, in April of 2024, the US will have a solar eclipse pass over a bunch of states for the first time in 7 years, and for the last time in decades.

It is an indescribably wonderful experience to be in the zone of totality. This article kinda covers it:. If you're not sure if you've seen one, you haven't. It's the most bizarre thing where it feels like someone flips a light switch and turns off the sky. https://www.space.com/37791-go-see-the-solar-eclipse-in-person.html

@mmasnick my grandma's farm is about dead center in the zone of totality and everyone is expected to go there and enjoy it together.

Please use If its to do with Tea or anything to do with this server.
As I assume most people here drink tea...

@Whiskeyomega my favorite here in the States is Bigelow Earl Grey. I'm sure there's better but it's as good as I can get without going to a specialty shop.

Do you care about King Charles' coronation?

Please reply after taking the poll with your country and why you voted yes or no. Boosts appreciated for a wider demographic 😉

@dancinyogi option 3. I have not had to care about the UK royal family since July 4, 1776.
