last boosts: i might have to migrate to a GoToSocial instance, and various moots and followers can guess at why
if you happen to know of a good one, lmk?

@Em0nM4stodon That's Interaction Policies, and I've heard Mastodon is looking into doing this, just not sure when. Their canQuote is being pulled into GoToSocial to go along with their canReply, canLike, canAnnounce (boost):
https://docs.gotosocial.org/en/v0.21.2/federation/interaction_controls/
My default interaction policy for replies is exactly what you say:
Anyone can like, anyone can boost, however to reply either I follow you, or you follow me, in which case replies are automatic, or else I manually approve the reply.
You can configure the reply policy as a default for all posts, and then you can even (if the software supports it) do interaction policies for specific posts. Like if you want to disallow all replies, for instance.

@jimmyjamesuk And to be clear, by “corrupts itself” I mean Time Machine itself says that it can no longer back up to the destination, and it instructs you to start a new backup, abandoning all past backups. I’m not aware of any reliable way to recover from this situation without doing as it suggests.
@siracusa and these are local backup? Not network backups?
So as I look to next year, I'm so grateful to my colleagues at CAT Lab, Cornell, @knightcolumbia,
@transparenttech, and so many more for the encouragement and support that have put me in a position to make the Radcliffe Institute Fellowship a meaningful contribution on tech & rights <3
@natematias Oh how wonderful, congratulations. My partner works at Harvard (academic administrator in life biosciences) and once you're in the area (he lives in Arlington) I'd love to introduce you two.
@joe i will also note that OSXFUSE requiring an apple signature was used to extort twitter inc when we needed to make some changes necessary for our git virtual file system. so i will say that DRM is an alluring solution to this but without oversight can be used to harm security (which google and microsoft are imho much more guilty of). reducing the need for elevated permissions seems to be the path of righteousness. the problem then becomes a matter of API design
@joe there may be some potential similarities between cryptosystems and microkernel isolation. i think ARM MTE in grapheneos (and ios which failed to credit them) is an example of this. wish i could speak less vaguely on this, hardware is just so complex aaaaaa

Goddammit, they learned how to read. 😩
@mlp good idea thanks! Think I’ll be able to make that work, I just need to rotate one of the boards by 180° to align the board to board connectors. The Amphenol BergStak 0.5mm are quite new on the market and it looks like only Element14 has them in stock. Spending almost $2.00 on the pair of board to board connectors is definitely A Consideration.

I’m in what has been a safe Labour seat for some time, with a majority of over 15k at the last election. I would have voted Green but the local candidate had worrying content on their personal social media.
@jimmyjamesuk As for Time Machine corrupting itself, I’ve seen it with my own eyes many, many, many times. Feel free to search the Internet until you are satisfied that this is a thing that actually happens frequently enough to be a legitimate factor in backup strategy decisions.
@siracusa that’s fine but I’ve seen it not corrupt itself many many times on many many machines. In both cases these are anecdotes. “Search for it” isn’t much of an answer either. How could you possibly know that these self-reported cases are the result of TM issues and not something else?

Cis folk - have you ever had even the most fleeting thought to change your name? To what? For any reason. Just cool. Connection. Vibes. Whatever.
Do it.
@NanoRaptor I was just about to say that of all the things I've wanted to change about myself, it's never been my name. But that's not true. After my dad died and I went back to college mid-year, I didn't want to be found, so when I got assigned to an off-campus dorm, and they asked us to put our names on our doors, I made one up.
It was sooooooo fucking liberating. No one there knew me, and no one who knew me could find me.
Neanderthals may have drilled out a cavity 59,000 years ago.
Over the years, excavations at Chagyrskaya Cave in southwestern Siberia have unearthed an assortment of Paleolithic treasures, including heaps of tools fashioned from stone and bone, alongside fossils from the easternmost population of Neanderthals.

I really crave a Mastodon feature to "allow only replies from followers" or being able to remove all the disinformation being spread in my replies. Because the mansplainer season is strong this year. And I have no spoons to give free education to all of them.
