  • This person engineers

  • How does Google know if you interacted with something on the page?

  • Just use tar xaf to auto-detect the format. (Mnemonic: “extract a file”)

  • Converting to metric would mean using it in normal speech. You know, like in most civilized countries.

    “What’s your height?”

    “187 centimeters.”

  • I mean, I’ve known how to speak for a long time now, but I still haven’t developed the ability to read body language…

  • Each request is a totally independent request that rebuilds the world. There’s no shared state (unless you want there to be).

    I with there was a language with this model, but without the language itself being completely garbage.

  • Did you read my reply? Again, the ways to express numbers can be different, but the numbers themselves can not. Aliens in a different universe may use a different way to denote the number 3, but no matter how they denote it, it is not between 1 and 2.

  • AFAIK, only if you use Neovim.

  • You consciously initiate the process and then it grows on its own, with the option to manually stop.

  • They only post in their own communities on their own instance. You will only see their posts if you’re subscribed to those communities or browse All Why would you consider that spam?

  • Banned from where? They have their own instance.

  • A lot of capitalist countries have free healthcare. So how is capitalism preventing that?

  • Yeah, I know that and how the same people who support defederation love to complain about Gmail and Outlook blocking their home server.

  • E-mail is also a federated protocol. Imagine if every time you wanted to send an e-mail, you had to check whether your provider likes the recipient’s provider and if not, create an account at the recipient’s provider (if that’s even possible).

  • There used to be a community for this on the website that shall not be named. “Don’t Dead Open Inside” I think?

  • What exactly is the problem with a bigot replying to you if you don’t see the reply?

    Also, they can see the content even if you defederate, because it’s public.

  • Alright. To quote your original comment:

    Yes, and thus you have one giant mega community in which every bigot can access anyone and everyone else.

    How would removing defederation result in a situation where “every bigot can access anyone and everyone else” if user-level instance blocking was still a thing?
