@marcelias Twitter added the RT feature after experiments showed that it increased the number of "tempests in a teapot" (so-called engagement) and increased viral behavior.

Mastodon is intentionally designed to add friction to the "viral" process and avoid tempests in a teapot. It works fabulously.

The lack of an RT function will not limit Mastodon's growth in any way.

@ad6dm Yep, done the same for 25 years. I use them for other power buses in my fixed and portable setup. red/black is the standard 12V. light-blue/black is 5V, yellow/black is 20V.

My battery systems are standardized on 20V which also happens to be what most notebook computers want. So all my notebooks and their power supplies have yellow/black Andersons.

Look, I think the thing - hee hee hee hee - that we need to remember - ha ha ha ha ha - with this Andrew Tate thing - aha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha - is that he's a real pers- OH MY GOD, BWAH HA HA HA HA HA HA

Co-founder of “Food Not Bombs” Global, Arrested today

"Keith McHenry, the co-founder of the global movement “Food Not Bombs” was arrested and jailed by the Santa Cruz Police Department today for the crime of serving food to the unhoused community members. Approximately 10 officers of the Santa Cruz Police Department arrested Keith at approximately 10:00 am today, December 27, 2022, in River Street Parking Garage #10, 24 River Street, as he was setting up tables to serve a meal out of the intense rain.

This egregious treatment of this community hero comes just two days after Food Not Bombs served a free Christmas feast to over 500 unhoused persons in downtown Santa Cruz. Keith is being held at Santa Cruz County Jail facing two misdemeanor charges of blocking a parking space and loitering in a parking garage. The police also confiscated some equipment belonging to Food Not Bombs including tables, cups for coffee and sugar."

@PadreSJ No, but in countries like that in which I've lived, a phone call from an influential person is all it takes to shut it down. It works like that here in West Virginia.

@PadreSJ Yeah, but he's in Romania and donates a LOT of money to the Romanian Church.

@SexyCyborg Yes. That would be the first thing I'd do if I were running things. That's probably why I'm not running things.

@mmdolbow @oliphant @xinit That interpretation is unique. Never heard of it, probably because it's unworkable. You can't direct what people talk about.

I suppose you could do something like "This instance is for posting cat pictures only. Text is disabled."

The following companies still openly do business inside sanctioned Russia:

Kia, Nestle, Unilever, InBev, Komatsu, Claas Group, Hyatt, Mitsubishi, Westinghouse, Avon, Makita, Braun, Pioneer, Mansour Group, Mary Kay, Big Dutchman, L'Occitane, Sun Chemical, Toyo Tires, Gucci, Brother, Yamaha, Fletcher Hotels

RT @IranIntl_En
"What's happening in Iran is unacceptable, Italy can no longer tolerate it," Italian PM @GiorgiaMeloni said, referring to repression of protesters, including w/ death penalty.
"If Iran doesn't change its stance, Italy will consult with allies to take more effective action."

Getting my blog back up and running. A whole new branding and looking forward to new content. Let me know what you think! kreegan99.org/firing-astronomy

@oliphant @xinit Wow. I've never heard of that anywhere. And no, I wouldn't use that instance. The admin is obviously a control freak / nutcase.

Those printed rules you show elsewhere I've seen many times and they do not prohibit the discussion of those topics. The meaning should be obvious but for more clarity one could add the word "practicing" to items 1 through 5.

Who funds George Santos?

Cousin of a Russian oligarch

Who funds the NRA?

Kremlin officials

Who funds the Trumps?

Deutsche Bank which specializes in Russian money laundering

Who funded the Trump campaign?

Russia through Mitch McConnell’s campaign manager

Spot the pattern?

Russia has kidnapped more than 11,000 children from Ukraine — and they continue doing so. These are all Crimes Against Humanity.

To The Hague with Putin and his Military.
