#Mastodon question–does setting posts to auto-delete save on server space/costs, or is it solely for privacy reasons that people do it?
Remember how poorly it turned out when the Supreme Court ruled that tariffs could stay in place until they had a chance to rule? I do.

@meluzzy i was looking at this because i wanted to know if it could be used for a weird kind of checksum. i think it might?
@meluzzy particularly when you do in fact want the checksum to be commutative, like you might want with directory entries since those aren't order-dependent like file blocks

What does this image say to you? To me, it screams of a world where profit towers above burning forests, drowning homes and families left with nothing.
