This is probably the best thing I ever posted on Twitter. The memory is pretty dear to me; I'm sharing it here so it still exists somewhere if that place collapses.

This is an outstanding reply to, and analysis of that Pamela Paul column in the New York Times that began this way:

"A paper that says science should be impartial was rejected by major journals. You can’t make this up."

Dave Karpf, an academic, takes it apart. He also testifies as a particiant in the peer review system. Worth your time.

Wasn't worth my time at all actually.

It started out like a political hit piece with gross mischaracterizations and innuendo. Not worthy of a socalled "academic".

Thanks for sharing anyway.

I gave it a listen. My bandwidth here atm on the mountain is total crap over 4G (WISP broadband coming soon though).

I liked it enough to d/l it - which means I like it a lot. Love the cinematography with the warm colors too.

Don't we have a PeerTube server here at SDF? Hostname wasToobnix or something IIRC? We should get him setup with an account so he can clone it there.

    Dick, you have to remember, you're talking about little snot nosed children.

    When you relentlessly counter and insist, shredding their emotional outbursts at the dinner table - they run off to their room and you can finish your supper in peace, satisfied that they've painted themselves further into the corner of isolation because they actually have nothing but an insult.

    Ask them why it's okay for them to use JavaScript - created by Brendan Eich. Those hypocrites have no answer.

    As does everyone else - their little corner off it gets smaller everyday when people refuse their shenanigans and call them out on their bigotry.

    You bet you - you've got much to offer and your accomplishments precede you. They've got the boogers they just picked from their noses and that's all.

    People who have something intelligent to share are always read by and listened to intently by a silent majority.

    Love long and prosper 🖖😀

    i forget who it was that said "a single timeline is unsustainable" (aaron parecki?) but i'm feeling more like the real cardinal sin is publishing to a single profile. i don't mind reading everything in a single view, although making lists certainly helps. it's the publishing that annoys me. i almost never want to send a post to all of my followers. and this goes doubly for replies. i often want to reply within a specific context and only optionally tell my followers about it.

    Oh! Not Fedi, strictly speaking, but there is "Circles" - (circu.li). It's s matrix thing and I've been following progress, but lost enthusiasm when i brought up gplus (old hat here as well) and they said "recursive circles were to hard for them to implement".

    Then, what's three point I thought. That's where the power of Circles really comes into play.

    Did you see that IMDb thing that guys doing with his fork yet? He's gonna keep it a softfork too.

    Whatever happened to that GLIMPSE garbage that those self righteous boneheads forked from GIMP anyway?

    Answer: abandoned, archived, forgotten, mostly. The FOSS world is really good at separating the chaffe from the loom and burying the garbage in the dark recesses of the Github landfills lolz.

    Since some people have asked me, here's a quick thread on initial experience comparison between Bluesky and the fediverse. It's important to note that this comparison is somewhat absurd by default because Bluesky is still tiny & unproven, but there's interest so I'm happy to share what I've observed. Also, I don't get into protocol differences because honestly who cares. So:

    tallship, (edited )
    @tallship@social.sdf.org avatar

    @anildash

    ..... "So:" ?

    That's it? That's your comparison? One word?

    Well, okay then. It's a "so", I guess. "Nothing to see then folks" kinda thing is what I'm coming away with then.

    Even a sentence or two would have helped instead of s single word.

    Not a big optimist here with respect to ATP after hacking on its previous ADX but personally, I would have given it at least a twenty word review lolz.

    Two months ago, Dylan Molina was sentenced to 15yrs in prison. On 27 Nov 2021 he ran a red light and t-boned a car with a family of 4 inside, seriously injuring everyone and killing the dad - Euless Texas PD Det. Alex Cervantes.

    Molina was driving a Jeep Wrangler with a blood alcohol content twice the legal limit. Cervantes was with his wife and kids, he was pronounced dead at the scene.

    I didn't wanna show the vid with civilians trying to extricate the family.

    I know i don't normally post shit like that but when you're a parent it doesn't matter how old your kids are you think about this shit happening so the time and want to protect them.

    Some thing's though, cannot be prepared for.

    Be careful out there folks. The world is harsh and there's no such thing as a safe space.

    Don't delude yourself and suggested look both ways before crossing - you can be right, and you can bet dead right - green doesn't mean go without looking first.

    I don't think people are realising the danger the Fediverse is in.

    The only thing stopping corporations and VCs taking over this place is that the Fediverse is spread out on many different servers, which makes it very difficult to purchase.

    If most of the Fediverse ends up on mastodon.social, which is now a strong possibility, there will be nothing to stop most of it being sold to Musk or Zuckerberg or whoever.

    The bigger mastodon.social becomes, the more likely a buyout is to happen.

    For starters 'Fedi.Tips', I don't do , but just going by the timbre of your post I'm responding to here, I gotta say I'm pleasantly surprised.

    I rarely boost anything of yours coz it usually sounds like you're a masto cheerleader instead of a Fediverse advocate - no offense, just my personal observation.

    Second - it's exactly what Eugen wanted for his "Brand", and he's caused enormous damage by creating a deprecated, legacy monolithic silo.

    Just for clarification, I don't run SDF Social. @SDF runs it, not me. The mod is @anthonyg.

    Apparently @praetor, who just joined, thought I ran this instance because I sent him an invite because he is an member.
