Roy Batty isn’t the villain… he’s a victim of the entire system that treats him like one because he exists.
Man… I gotta watch that movie again, fantastic film

The audiobooks are a great quick listen (I think about 4 hours long or so on average)
I got those via my library and Libby.
The protagonist has such a unique narrative perspective
Short thriller/comedy/sci-fi that I really liked was The Murderbot Diaries series by Martha Wells
Not to mention that we can “visualize” the segments and networks by the numbers. Makes it easier to recognize, as an analogy,
This state, that city, this road, that house.
Versus ipv6. Of course there’s so much space in v6 that it isn’t an issue except it’s such a pain to work with for people who tend to think in ipv4 octets and bit masks
Boost as a “shout out” being public is alright. I guess for us Reddit folks it’s like a cross post to our own u/sub that followers could see.
Upvote/downvote, though, should be private. Not sure if that’s ever truly possible though because by the nature of the fediverse it has to be replicated across to other instances and so everything is “open” as I understand it.
It may not be easily visible in the UI but it’s there in the data.
So I try to think of everything here like it’s a postcard not a letter.
Any mail carrier who sees it (and makes a copy) can see it all.
A book like that that I enjoyed was the midnight library.
Easy to read on the surface but there’s a lot of depth to it as you think about it more and more
They could be. Or they could be sales, or brand ad coordination, or hr, or legal handling the various issues related to products, lawsuits, regulations, actual law enforcement inquiries, etc.
Like any corporation there’s a ton of backend staff doing stuff people don’t see because it makes the parts they do see operate.
For anybody doing this seriously be careful. High salt/protein and low water sounds like a recipe for all kinds of issues.
For example extremely high water low salts can cause brain swelling and death.
As others have said… a mascot.
But, what would be great in my opinion would be the current folder icon shape stylized like a birds wings.
E.g. flying free amongst the various places of the fediverse
Think O’Reily book covers. There’s always some associated animal with a particular tech stack
The issue isn’t trust. It’s the same as anything else electronic such as having a backdoor to encryption.
Anything physical requires a certain amount of effort to break in such a way that is widespread and without making it obvious.
But purely digital/online means that any bad faith actor with enough resources (such as nation states) can scale up the means and methods to manipulate it or break it.
I’m all for electronic voting for tallying with physical paper trails that can be used to verify the integrity of the digital results.
What happens to posts/comments and any media/content that is hosted on a server that just goes away (for example if I created one virtually and then deleted it or if a sdcard on a pi is corrupted)
