IMO one issue with Mastodon's report funtionality is that I don't think I can communicate with the user (or admins?) on another instance about a report. To try to explain it....
I chipped my tooth eating popcorn. So like the genius that I am, I keep tonging it.
@technomancy I love those books
Playin with Huffman coding & prefix codes
I really gotta get back into blogging
“Be better, not bitter” is a great piece of advice from a friend.
@mike well yeah... But this shouldn't be the end goal, just a minimum
"you are personally responsible for becoming more ethical than the society you grew up in"
Has anyone done a survey of English people to see how many believe Ireland is part of the UK?
@bob i always presumed the advantage of federation is that you could filter/select the electorate, i.e. "I will only count votes from $GROUP".... Not ideal, but maybe better?
RT @HanaMichels@twitter.com:
The word “muse” was invented to not pay #women for ideas right?
ME, A #CYBERPUNK FAN IN THE 90's: Why do they think we'll only talk in weird #slang in the future?

Digital fluency != everyone knowing how to code. It means adapting our programming and software design practices so that the broadest set of people possible can express themselves

Zoom acquired Keybase today.
Keybase helped me to identify a trend in the software industry: using a pretty UI to cover up the disruption of an open ecosystem with a closed, centralized replacement. Keybase seemed cool on the face of it - making encryption easier is a laudible goal, and PGP certainly could use the improvement. But, thanks to Keybase, now I ask different questions upfront.
Beware the Keybase formula:
1. Integrates with an existing, open ecosystem
2. May have open-source clients, but server is closed source and does not federate
3. Pretty UI and good marketing
4. VC funded
I've got some (semi confidential) #video(s), and I'd like #subtitles / #transcription for them, and I'm willing to pay.
What's the best way to get subtitles/transcripts made? There's oodles of transcripts-as-a-service companies, but I'd like if I could give money to some fellow marginalized person(s) rather than through some middleman. Is there any sort of #coop doing this? Or just self employed people?

[Libertarian]: "the government makes everything worse!"
[Normal human being]: "Why?"
[Libertarian]: "Because it's corrupt!"
[Nhb]: "Why?"
[Libertarian]: "Because all the politicians are bought and paid for!"
[Nhb]: "You mean bought and paid for by the capitalists?"
[Libertarian]: 😡
Camping weekend
And now I'm thinking of writing open source Web conversion optimization software...
