Today is a good day to remind folks that all owls are superb owls!
We have all local owls in my parliament of owls:
Right to left and top to bottom the owls are: Northern saw-whet, Eastern screech, Barred, long-eared, Barn and Great Horned owl.

We have the fabulous pantaloon-wearing burrowing owl, the gorgeous and ghostly snow owl and the imposing screech owl too 🦉

Other servers can and should use Alice's `replies` collection to see which replies she has consented to. They can and should obscure or hide altogether replies that aren't in that collection.
Mastodon doesn't do either of these things, by the way. It doesn't let you reply to Alice's followers, and it doesn't use the `replies` collection for showing and hiding replies. It's too bad; these are really valuable features of ActivityPub.

I never got around to digging into the literature when I first got curious about this question some years ago: is there any other Cilk-style fork-join scheduler that uses Rayon's StackJob trick where it can avoid per-job heap allocations entirely for 2-way fork-join? Since most uses of 2-way fork-join are for approximately balanced divide-and-conquer, it bounds the stack usage by the logarithm of the data size.
Some repliers insisted that it should be whatever Bob wants, which is trivial. It sidesteps the issue and doesn't address the question at its own level.
I asked, what should be the outcome? Not, who should decide?
What options should Bob have to choose from? What should be the default? What should he choose?
Anyway, I agree with the vast majority that the reply should be to Alice's followers. I think the rule of thumb for replies is that they should address about the same audience as the original post, or optionally a subset of that audience. Expanding the audience confuses readers and violates privacy expectations.
I know I'm a bit late for new year's resolution but maybe I can still motivate someone: This year, I'm learning japanese. Would anyone over here want to join me? Just for cheering each other on, sometimes trying to communicate in japanese, or maybe also going through a textbook together.
Or, maybe even a japanese speaker interested in learning German?

"Alice's followers" is the way most social networks work with private X, Facebook, Instagram. It lets Alice ask questions or share private info with people she trusts and cares about, and lets them discuss amongst themselves. It is really the best way to use social networks.
"Bob's followers" is the literalist version, with the worst possible dynamics. "You should reply to a followers-only post with a followers-only post" retains the same UI choice while completely changing the audience. Most of the other people who read Alice's post won't see Bob's comments. Bob's followers who don't follow Alice won't understand the context of his post, and won't be able to read Alice's post. It also violates Alice's privacy to share a response to her question with strangers.

After years of using only Mastodon,
I became completely "de-accustomed" with quote-posts.
Now that they've been implemented here, and are getting increasingly more used, I realize I don't really like them in most circumstances actually.
I think I'd rather keep boosting and replying, and boosting replies. I'm very grateful they can be opted out of here.
i'm glad someone noticed this in https://rose.systems/animalist

I’ve tooted about open models probably not being a way out of knowledge capture in the past few days. This article is an excellent deep dive into the issues. And it has sources!
- High end hardware available to consumers is not usually sufficient to run the models without severe compromises
- With the death of quality open data, advancing models requires larger and larger piles of money and hardware. And it’s not clear how the open community would ever close this gap.
finished the ink on the other side of my neck. oof that sucked, glad to be done with that part of my body 
PSA: Apple has an obscure service/feature called “iTunes Match” — conceptually it’s very similar to iCloud Photo Library.
I’ve been using it for years.
In practice, it is **not** reliable. I recommend you do not use it.
Imagine where Facebook would be today if Zuckerberg had invested in renewable power instead of reimagining Wii Sports as a shopping mall for your face.
I have some pieces for my-notes that would be, in many ways, much better than what I’ve been posting lately.
But I can’t write them. Or, at the very least, I can’t publish them.
And this is fantastic on the one hand, but a sort of curse on the other. Who knows, maybe one day I will, perhaps in a less direct way.
It might seem sad, but it’s actually the opposite: when some of the best parts of your life can’t be told, it means you’ve lived through some definitely interesting experiences.
The "live location" sharing situation is fucking abysmal. There are situations where it's totally reasonable that you may want to let someone track your phone in realtime - such as meeting an online date for the first time and wanting to make sure a friend knows where you are just in case. Your choices are basically "make sure you both have iPhones," "use Google Maps," "use WhatsApp," or "let some shady company like Life360 sell your location data." It's insane we don't have better options.

What I'm unsure of if how a Mastodon Reply to this type of post interacts with the model
@silverpill does the OP appear as FO to the mastodon user, does the Mastodon user reply with their FO collection?
European solidarity.
Beautiful nerds of the fediverse. It's the #SuperbOwl this evening, I fully expect y'all to step up and provide lots of photos of superb owls! Please do your magic.
See a picture of a superb owl? Don't forget to boost it so others might see it too.
今回の選挙結果で、自分を含めソーシャルメディアで政治的な意見を表明する人達というのは実は特殊な一部の層なんだなと痛感した。そもそも、有権者の半分弱の人は投票すらしていない。そうした人達にとって、支持政党が違うからといって意見の異なる発言をみつけては「馬鹿」「レイシスト」「不勉強」「洗脳されてる」などと糾弾する様は、なんだか怖いし近寄り難い。そうした様子を見て、自分は政治的な発言は絶対にするまいと思う。さらにこうした人達の意見は表には出てこなくなる。
こういうことを言うと、すぐに「トーンポリシング」と批判されるのだけど、こうして一般には馴染みのない専門用語を使ってやり込める手法も、発言しない多数派にとっては排他的な印象を与えてしまう。
だから政治的な発言をするなと言いたいわけではなく、自分の意見を表明しつつも、反対意見も尊重する。一方的に馬鹿にしたり集団で糾弾したりしない。議論のルールをもう一度思い出す必要がある。本来、リベラルってそういう寛容さを持ち合わせたものだったんじゃないだろうか。

Oh hey, our new website design is live:
It's more reflective of what we actually are (nerds carving out a friendly hosting company in a "scrapped" datacentre, with recycled servers) and it features a new pricing page which is either more or less confusing than the old one. Let us know!
Did you know we run the whole thing off approx 550W of power? Seven physical servers, two switches and all of our VMs, serving thousands of users, for less power than a security light!
