Seriously. What’s your excuse for still being on X at this point. They’ve literally built HitlerBot.
The received wisdom is that growth on Mastodon and Bluesky comes from big waves of new users who flee other networks when their owners say or do something particularly evil. But according to 
@laurenshof, that's no longer a given. "Musk managed to put himself up high on the list of people whose actions directly led for the largest number of deaths in the twenty-first century due to his involvement in the shutdown of USAID, but such evil did not meaningfully lead to people leaving Musk’s social network for other places," Hof writes for his Connected Places newsletter. Here, he takes a look at what's happening.

Growth narratives on the new social networks
The narratives that networks like the fediverse and Bluesky have about themselves how their network grows are a snapshot of a specific moments in time. How do these narratives evolve as the circumstances change again?

Me: "I took my camera to the conservation zoo again."
My friends: *wait in anticipation of cool animal photos*
Me: "You gotta see this crow I met near the cafe. LOOK AT THOSE GLORIOUS TEXTURES! 😍"
I love them.
I just want computer-assisted, approximate pattern recognition.
I would like to be able to say, show me in the text I've written what my tics are, what parts of this code I'm writing look similar to other code already written, where it looks like a common error, an old bug, like a frequently-used command I can alias, a habit I might want to break, a cliche to avoid.
I don't want the computer to create more almost-work repetitiion, I want it to help me see the work I've done clearly.
"look the computer can generate more code faster" the world absolutely does not need or want more code, nothing needs more code for the sake of code, we need utility, functionality and empathy, an encoded understanding of the problem being solved and the humans around it. Code is the price we pay for that encoded understanding. What you've created is an entropy spigot pointed at the proxy metric graph you’re stuck using because your management doesn't understand anything.

I have a modest project here that I've been able to prove out to myself with a demo Bash contraption, but I understand that the Right Thing These Days if you're turning a toy demo into a Real Thing is to rewrite it in Python (legibility, error handling, etc.)
The goal of the project is uncomplicated - it is to make it as simple as possible for a website operator to share the defensive actions they've taken, and benefit from those of others.
Does this sound like it's of any interest to you?

Is there a central repository with AI bot crawler IP addresses and user agents somewhere?
I have a small one with the main AI products, but looking to expand.
Among the many new things. The two I'm most excited about:
1) Mastodon's interface is now ready to 'see' quote posts (like this one!) coming in. The next step, in v4.5 later this year will be to enable *creating* quote posts natively in the Mastodon web and app!
2) Admins can send emails to all users of their server to notify of critical issues and news! Yay!
I'll be using this to let #SocialBC folks know about our upcoming migration!

老實說不焦慮是不可能的。
連我的房東房仲都對政治冷感，
她們都認為市政跟哪黨執政無關。
事實就是：房東說她去年的修繕補助至今未收到。
我跟房仲說：我不簽長約因為明年市長選舉會影響我續不續租，甚至要不要繼續待台中。她反應有點訝異。
仲：租屋補助跟政黨沒有關係⋯
我：那我想請問你，kmt執政時期有租屋補助嗎？今年台中市預算1900億史上新高，市長卻說無法分擔？
她停了23秒就轉移話題了。
遇到政治冷感的人真的讓人無奈疲倦，
特別是亂投票不投票的人。

작년에 만들다 만 서버 삭제 툴도 프로토타입 졸업해야 하는데
모든 상태와 계정을 지우면서 옆집 마스토돈 서버를 죽이지 않기 위한 기능이 구현이 개 까다로움.
서버 별로 큐를 생성해서 서버 별 동시 요청 수를 제한한다가 방법인데
무지성으로 큐 늘리면 큐가 몇개가 되고 메모리에 동시에 올라간 오브젝트가 몇 개가 될 줄 알고라는 막연한 불안감이 있음.

FreeBSD installer console is so much better than the nux ones I have used. They feel broken and outlandish.
I'm wondering if I should cancel my ExpressVPN subscription and switch to another #VPN provider. Any recommendations or (in best case free) alternative what to do? 👀
We just released #Mastodon 4.4.1, a small patch release fixing a few issues with 4.4.0.
We recommend to install this version instead of 4.4.0 when you update your server.

I wish economic arguments worked, because the economic argument for subsidising bikes and increasing bike ridership are so unambiguously strong (lower environmental impact, good health outcomes, empowerment, greater economic participation), but actually the economy is a lie which is why we subsidise electric cars that still require you to have loads of cash and not bikes which actually are a reasonable goal to aim for near universal ownership.

냄비에 개구리를 넣고 물을 살살 끓이면 뜨거워지는 줄도 모르고 익어버린다는 말이 있는데, 실제로 개구리는 어느 정도 온도에서 뜨거움을 감지하고 잘 도망친다고 한다. 지구를 살살 끓이면서 도망은 고사하고 장작을 더 넣어대는 인간들이 쓸 비유는 아니지 싶은 생각이 든다.

![“Twilight” director Catherine Hardwicke said in an interview with The Guardian that the studio gifted her a “mini cupcake” as a congratulations when the vampire romance opened to an unexpectedly huge $69 million in November 2008. It was a blunt realization that no matter how successful her directing career could be, she would not be valued in the same way as a male director.
“No, people aren’t going to hire more women directors,” she told interviewer Hanna Flint. “They’re not going to give you the next job and let you do something great. It was an earth-shattering reality right away.”
Whereas a successful male director with a franchise-launching huge opening weekend might be gifted “a car, or a three-picture deal, or [the chance] to do basically whatever you want,” Hardwicke continued, she was given more or less a pat on the back.
“I walked into a room with all these gifts, and everybody was congratulating the studio, and they gave me a box,” she remembered. “I opened it up, and it was a mini cupcake.”](https://cdn.vmst.io/media_attachments/files/114/824/457/879/612/794/original/9aecec3e2ca2b8ea.png)
