@Gina Haven't seen that, but a "social score" sounds more like what they have in China, where everyone is monitored and unwanted behavior will get you banned from jobs, public transport or such.
On the Fediverse this would only impact an account you use to send messages to the world. If the community doesn't like your messages very much and gives you a negative score, that wouldn't impact your life as a whole, only this specific account.
And I like the idea that people would have to consider what they post.

If the world learned about #ICE at the #WinterOlympicsParalympics #MilanCortina,it's because #WikiLeaks cables allowed us to discover it and ask specific Qs to #ICE
16 years after their publication, #WikiLeaks cables still allow us understanding the world in which we live
You can do cool things with Servo today! See next one of the last examples, a web browser by @webbeef built with web technologies using Servo as rendering engine

yeah it's just the renderer. someone did a browser wrapper but the rendererer is still changing. but i expect there'll be a browser with all the browser stuff soon as servo is usable for real work.
@davidgerard @baszoetekouw @richardgrant @liquor_american @jaffathecake @duke_of_germany @firefoxwebdevs @farlukar Always choices to make moving away from American big tech.
I've tried a few of the Firefox forks. I haven't tried Servo, but the ones I did try I eventually found that there were some things I do on the internet that I was just going to have to do without, with those forks. Or I would have to run two browsers, and then it's a very short road to "why bother? Just use Firefox". Firefox drinking the AI kool-aid pushed me to look at non-mozilla browsers.
Vivaldi ticks enough of the boxes that I feel are important. I use Edge at work (it's the furthest I can get away from the company force-installing Chrome) so I'm already familiar with chromium. It's not fully FOSS, but the company says things about avoiding tracking and algorithms and prioritizing privacy that I want to hear. They're employee-owned, although I don't see a lot of detail on what exactly that means. And they're not American.
Most importantly for me, almost everything I tried to do just worked out of the box. The only real issue I've had so far is that it uses extensions from the Chrome Web Store and is subject to Google's meddling there, so no uBlock Origin.

Time to dust off those early 2000s forums!

Di che tipo di minacce contro #OlimpiadiInvernali di Torino 2006 ha paura il governo Berlusconi?
Ma ovviamente dei soliti #anarchici. E guardate un po' che ne pensano gli americani? NON li ritengono una grave minaccia:
7. la *minaccia* degli #anarchici era esagerata nel 2006 - come rivelano cablo di #WikiLeaks su Olimpiadi InvernaliTorino2006 - ed è esagerata oggi con #OlimpiadiInvernali2026,in cui USA hanno imposto #ICE contro ogni volere degli italiani e con acquiescenza del governo #Meloni

Devastating floods have hit Portugal, Spain & Morocco in the past days, causing loss of life & billions of Euros in damages.
How does climate change impact the flood risks from rain, rivers & rising seas?

They actually filmed a Star Trek/Police Academy crossover movie?
@cstross WTAF!
@eigen It will vary massively according to tuning and individual weapon spec, but with my pistol, I could hit a human sized target at ~20m, and a target with perhaps a 5cm diameter at 3m.
With my fanciest rifle, I could hit a human sized target at ~75-80m reasonably easily, and perhaps 100m at a push. I haven't tried shooting close range targets with it, because of its power.
With an electric rifle - mine are basic, but perfectly fine - I could confidently hit a 4cm target 10-15m, pretty consistently.
