They have a pattern of trying something and seeing how far they can get. Then they’ll say it was an oversight or a joke.
Someone recently called it similar to “reconnaissance in force” by the military – you go out with an uncommitted force and learn from the kind of resistance you get so you can be more effective.
The point is “mistakes” like these are not benign, or at least should not be treated as benign, since we can’t ever really know for sure.
I hate these other replies that have already given up. Not helpful.
What is it like, reading Lemmy on Mastodon? Is it like one post with many replies? Or do they nest like in Lemmy?
I don’t quite understand – does this feature let you resize the window again to the size you want, and you are still sharing the same fingerprint with everyone else? Or do you still have to keep the browser window the default size to minimize your unique fingerprint?
Right
Not at all the same thing. There was tons of evidence and theory that vaccines were safe, and the consequences of not using them were very high.
And they also have a theoretical basis for their hypothesis. You don’t have to have 100% experimental proof about something to take initial action, especially to avoid harm.
This is not the same thing, as the other comment explains.
And what does it eat? What teeth does it have?
EDIT:
Chimaeras, also known as rat fish, or ghost sharks, include three living families and a little over 50 species of surviving holocephalans. These fishes move by using sweeping movements of their large pectoral fins. They are deep sea fish with slender tails, living close to the seabed to feed on benthic invertebrates. They lack a stomach, their food moving directly into the intestine.
Laptops not designed for Linux sometimes have weird hardware problems – someday I will buy a computer specifically built for Linux so everything works – either that or get an old thinkpad and just live with it being slow.
Does location data get stored on their servers or elsewhere?
Why does it do this?
PS grateful for this option!
The joke comes from the infinite hotel paradox, which is from a property of infinities that you can always add to them and they’re still infinity. This leads to a paradox where if you have an infinite hotel room with no vacancies, every single room in the infinity is full, as a given. But if everybody moved over one room, there would be an empty room in position 1.
The punchline is that in real life if you asked every guest to move over 1, they wouldn’t want to, and some would be big babies for some reason.
It made sense to me as is
I like how Bill Nye explains it:
Yes he did
Will be one major barrier removed. I hope people will like these safer quote toots
True but also slightly more friction to get back to the original account – have to search them instead of just click
One thing I did recently was search mastodon for some “normal” topics like fashion and yoga, but I didn’t find much.
The nice thing about Mastodon and ActivityPub is that they’re designed for the long run, and don’t need profits to be successful. So they can have slow growth year over year and still survive and slowly build up a user base that gradually adds more and more topics to attract more people.
