A bit of an update to the Cineplex facial recognition/demanding masks be removed issue. I was at their Lansdowne theatre a couple of months ago to watch All of Us Strangers, obviously before this policy was adopted. But I won't be going back there, or to any Cineplex, while this policy exists.

@ckkellymartin and so it begins -- the thin edge of the wedge, all because of "security" (read: surveillance)

Strong morning for FAFO.

I am a strong FAFO proponent. FAFO is the literal fucking essence of learning, growing (as in personally and in one's decision making, not the capitalist defintiion of cancerous growth), or at least facing consequences for unwillingness to do so.

Edit: I didn't like my framing so changed inability to unwillingness.

@hannu_ikonen 💯

If a human won't allow any of the other red flags to sway them to learn/change/grow, it's not reality that's gonna blink..

Biggest disappointment with :mastodon: 4.2 webUI thus far: can't hide link previews. At the very least, the card should be blurred (https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/29431), but I'd still like the option back to not show it at all.

@steven thanks; alas, though I use FF/WF, PWAs don't permit such an edit, at least not on mobile.

@steven that would be cool, too

But, like, this problem is new to 4.2. In 4.1, this didn't and couldn't happen, because of how cards/previews were handled. They somehow managed to unsolve it.

I haven't been following this because

a) I already dealt with it to my satisfaction when I domain-blocked Threads LAST YEAR

b) ugh, I just feel like there are bigger threats in my day-to-day

but just to check: an individual domain-blocking Threads is adequate to cast them into the blackness of the void, yes?

And is anyone I care about on a server that is going to defederate from .social because of something Eugen said or whatever?

I only want to open this can of worms by like 1 mm please

trendless,
@trendless@zeroes.ca avatar

@elana As I understand it, if a server/admin has not enabled the 'Authorized Fetch' setting, an individual domain block operates like a mute. With AF enabled, it should act like a proper block.

I'm trying to remember if there's a way to identify if enabled/disabled..

trendless,
@trendless@zeroes.ca avatar

@elana no, that would be if the separate disallow unauthenticated api access setting was enabled

https://hub.sunny.garden/2023/06/28/what-does-authorized_fetch-actually-do/

What you've detailed is also my understanding/expectation of the differences between mute and block. I think this is a long discussed issue with the phrase 'domain block' in the user-facing UI of mastodon: that it really doesn't function as such by default, though recent elucidations (as above) seem to indicate that with AF enabled it will.

trendless,
@trendless@zeroes.ca avatar

@elana I believe there is opportunity for that in the absence of AF.

Obv it'll still depend to some extent on your reach/search/privacy settings, the privacy of the post, and whether your followers who are followed by threads users boost or reply, etc, but..

Although we've been discussing AF and things related in the zeroes' moderation and policy matrix rooms for months, I still wouldn't consider myself an expert -- it's a complex, technical topic.

Every time I see the 'Post published' notification in the bottom left corner of the 4.2 webUI, I panic for a second -- prior to its addition, that corner was reserved for 500 errors and the like 😬

If you think "long covid isn't real" and "long covid doesn't exist" mean the same thing as "long covid may be pretty similar to other post-viral conditions" then you probably shouldn't be sharing your opinions on covid on public platforms, IMO.

trendless,
@trendless@zeroes.ca avatar

@3TomatoesShort though I've seen the latter used to lift up and include folks with mecfs and other chronic conditions, I've also seen it used shove down and marginalize folks with long covid. It's especially bad when professionals and so-called experts are the ones doing the shoving 😞

> We Had the Tools
https://guinesspig.ghost.io/we-had-the-tools/

October 2, 2023

“...anytime a government or health officials says we have the tools to deal with Covid-19.

No we don’t.

We had the tools. All we have now are the memories of those tools.

We (and by we, I mean collectively, societally we) blew it. We threw the tools away. We traded them in for something we believed was so much better.

Why? Because the very leaders we are supposed to trust to look out for our best interests, like General Manager Tim, told us to. They gave us permission. They told us it was more important to get back to normal than to rely on those tools.”

@kimlockhartga @currentbias afaik, group A is and always has been very common. Seems like the word 'invasive' is being misconstrued by those reporting on this -- it doesn't indicate anything unique about the virus, but that an infection has progressed beyond the most common strep throat / impetigo presentations, gotten past the immune system and into the blood/organs where it can wreak havoc like septicemia, TSS, pneumonia, etc. This would be highly comorbid with impairment of the immune system, as is often seen post virally. For an intracellular pathogen like strep A to go rogue like this, it could indicate exhaustion or destruction of the CD8 T cell population. Not good.
