Unfortunately, unless Elon is lying, twitter will un-login-wall itself again in the near future: https://platform.twitter.com/embed/Tweet.html?id=1674865731136020505

I suppose it's unfortunate if Elon is lying as well, because it's unfortunate that people in power lie, but that's nothing new for him so I'll take it.

Yiiiiikes tornado warning just dropped in my area, last time this happened it touched down ~500m away from my front door.

Optimistically hoping for the best.

Are you missing a black Honda 4door? One is parking in my rented space, which also has its door weatherstripping pulled out at the top of the door, as though it has been jimmied. Its in Mt Vernon and the first two items on the license plate are 1F-----. I have called 311. It was not there when I left for work this AM. Another similar car was in my space some months ago. It was stolen & was being hidden in my parking spot.

Is there any way to collapse comment chains in Microblog or Thread views on kbin?

'They don’t want a population of citizens capable of critical thinking. They don’t want well informed, well educated people capable of critical thinking. They’re not interested in that. That doesn’t help them. That's against their interests.'

NANTERRE, FRANCE—In an ongoing struggle against ruling-class oppression, the people of France again protested in a way that Americans are welcome to at any time, sources confirmed Thursday. According to reports, French citizens across the country were spotted hitting the streets en masse as a unified front against the…

I am wondering why you did not put your Mastodon accounts on the Community page of https://proton.me.
Many VPN-Users value their privacy, so I think it would be beneficial for a company like Proton to show their presence in the Fediverse on their website.

Leaders of major central banks are ready to increase interest rates to control inflation

They are targeting a rate of about 2%. Mainly influences by the current conditions in the labor markets + rising wages.

What your stand on this? The IMF warns this could trigger a financial crisis. Inflations are high everywhere (~6% EU, 4% US, 9%UK).

Remember - every action you take, take it with the thought of creating a sustainable future for yourself.

Purposefully making myself more mentally ill by smoking weed and watching Serial Experiments Lain

I've had the hiccups for ~8 of the last ~13 hrs. The usual remedies have failed. I've accepted my fate.

As an aside, anybody remember the children's show Rolly Polly Olly? I remember seeing it as a little kid, and I'm always reminded of the episode on hiccups when I'm afflicted.

I hate hustle culture. "Never give up" my ass. Give up! Not everything works out. God forbid that you (gasp) relax and get some rest.

Did #outlander s7e02 just have a full blown #disney land ad in it? #starz

So I've seen a number of people complaining that other users are replying to their public posts on a social website with that functionality. Respectfully what the hell are these people smoking?

If it's a public post for anyone to see and respond to what did they expect to happen when they put it out there? I'm not talking about harassment, rude comments, or block/ban evasion. Just randomly commenting on a random post.

How did they come to the conclusion it was a private space and others would know they shouldn't comment? If they just want a private conversation or hate reading comments why post things for everyone to see and comment on?

Clearly this issue is one of different expectations or different social norms. No idea when it became a reasonable expectation on their end but it seems to be common in some circles. And deeply held enough that some find the act of getting replies from strangers as offensive. Again nothing like dms just a normal comment on a public post.

For something constructive the platform could have the features to provide the experience they want. One in which people can't comment or where they don't have to see comments. I personally disable comments on YouTube videos I post but I don't really expect people to avoid commenting if they were on. Here something like disabling comments or ignoring comments could be useful to these people. Maybe only allowing or seeing comments from a whitelist. Maybe only showing posts to people on a whitelist.

Whatever the desired interaction it will probably need to be enforced in code rather than a vague social code most people aren't aware of.

No one reply to this post. It's super private. /s

why doesnt TikTok have a randomize favorites option

Always a moment looking at my kbin top bar and seeing "portlandareafemdom" up there.

Posting mostly to see where it lands:
