@freemo I do not claim an expertise, but I do not see an application for which Judge works better than alternatives. The desire to shoot .410 makes it quite large. Meanwhile, shot from the rifled barrel scatters so much that it's basically useless beyond a snake. But one can achieve the same result against snakes with the snake shot. This leaves slugs, but the energy of a .410 slug about corresponds to a defensive 10mm (it exceeds a 9mm, of course). I see that I placed myself into a position where I have to pee on your parade if I am to justify my off-hand remark, which wasn't my original intention, but oh well. If you enjoy shooting that gun, it's all that matters.

I remember when...

a guy showed me his new S-100 bus memory card with 256K of RAM, and I said, "What do you need all that memory for?"

(my first computer had 32K of RAM because I couldn't afford the full 48K.)

#Google honored a #DMCA request from an Israeli company and removed a web browser for #AndroidTV from the Play Store. The request was filed because the app has the potential to access a pirate site.

This is obviously ridiculous yet Google still has declined one of the developer's appeals, and failed to respond to the second. How can they be this incompetent when it comes to frivolous DMCA notices and false copyright strikes? People are abusing their systems like crazy.

@freemo@qoto.org @stux@mstdn.social CAME HERE TO POST EXACTLY THIS 😆

Some of the most fearsome people I have ever met have been woman a foot shorter than me.

@stux If you ever met a short woman you already understand this :)

*Short woman here

When every threat is bigger than you, you get used to it. Other factors are calculated first.
The size factor is only considered when it's extreme.

Can we please stop throwing around the threat of defederation?

Defederation shouldn't happen unless an instance is a cesspool full of terrible behavior with an admin unwilling to deal with it.

Annoyances like spam can be dealt with by admins without scorching the Earth and going nuclear.

Lets not turn the #Fediverse, where instance are supposed to be part of a larger collection, into islands of instances that have cut themselves off from others because of annoyances.

#Mastodon #MastoAdmin

silencing Mastodon.social again... JFRC... fix your shit or something.

I had to silence mastodon.social. That spam run was a lot.

Should we silence mastodon.social?

For those #mastoadmin who have to clean up the mess, this query helped a bunch - obviously replace Infosec.exchange with your domain. You can select all accounts and suspend at once, then jump to the end and you’ll see two accounts that are inadvertently swept up - just manually unsuspend those.
