@freemo maybe my perspective is skewed because I've only ever existed in qoto.

@gpowerf I disagree, I find the communication on mastodon to be quite hostile on most servers... QOTO is an exception and so are a few servers, but generally not only is it common I think its more common than even on facebook.

So the US congress vs TikTok, they are expressing concerns about data finding its way back to the Chinese government, while at the same time when Facebook hands over information about a young lady who had an abortion to the local authorities this is perfectly acceptable to the users of these platforms.

@zleap

Obviously I am against abortion being criminalized, so I do have an issue with this... but lets be clear, they are handing over vidence of a criminal act. the issue isnt that they report criminal activity, the issue is that it is criminal to begin with, which isnt facebooks fault.

@swansinflight@fosstodon.org Wonderful, the last thing I would want is someone assuming I'm boring, errr, I mean mature.

Hahah nope, but im sure someone will decipher it, its not too tricky :)

Here's a video compilation of Apple ads from 1981->

The ads I'm talking about begin at about 11:00,

In particular, here's an ad that "proves" GUI is better than CLI for average workers. (joke)

youtu.be/UcBlKg2HerQ?t=3274

and one of my favorites:
youtu.be/UcBlKg2HerQ?t=4450

and the "I'm a Mac, I'm a PC ads...

@Pat Interesting idea, but I disagree... cli works well for people who bother to spend even 2 seconds reading instructions... GUI is for people who are intellectually lazy :)

@Romaq yea though i find since cheatsheets are just text you copy and paste that learning curve is easily managed

Whether Mastodon has 5K or 5M users doesn’t matter. You only need to follow about 500 of them to get a pretty rich social media experience that doesn’t suck like ad driven social media.

@HamonWry

I find it interesting that not only do middle eastern Jews not identify as a "person of color", vast majority identify as white here in Israel. In fact when we brought it up most said they found the term offensive..

Yet for some people whites keep insisting on calling jews from Israel "People of color". I guess its too much to accept a white oppressed minority?

@Marvin

Github has a known history of suspending accounts for political reasons... not aware of any such history with gitlab.
