The 1901 German paper I've been translating is the first time I've seen a scientific paper use the phrase "throw the baby out with the bath water," and in German even!

Oh FFS if you are signing NDAs to cooperate on developing apps in a *free and open ecosystem* YOU ARE DOING IT WRONG. The party demanding the NDA is clearly already acting in BAD FAITH...

So a little while back @pluralistic discussed the #enshitification of the internet and it has me wanting to remind people that the pioneers of enshitification, from which techbro VCs got their inspiration, was undoubtedly the large home appliance oligopoly.

My parents had appliances thgat lasted 30+ years before replacement.

The appliances I got with my house in 1999 have all been replaced in the past 4 years (that is, they lasted about 20 years)

The average lifespan of such appliances made in the 2010's is apparently a scant 12 years.

But it's more than that...in my observation they are not only less durable, they objectively do an inferior job performing their actual purposes.

My new dishwasher looks spiffy and runs quiet but has a filter that needs cleaning 3 times as often and can't clean hot chocolate residue out of a mug.

My new fridge farts and also has some sort of disposable filter to replace.

My new clothes washer can connect to wifi but sometimes has a hard time rinsing.

...

Fuck Facebook and yes I will deadname them

Lato to jest moja ulubiona pora roku między innymi dlatego, że uwielbiam patrzeć na miny Świadków Jehowy, jak stoją przy tych swoich stojaczkach i gapią się na moje dziary z gołymi babami. ❤️❤️❤️

I am Mastodon instance / server window-shopping.

Character limits info for each instance / server is what I'm after.

Anyone got a list?
Or a link?

Or want to contribute to a thread with character limits shared in the comments?

Erst mal prüfen, ob die Nuss auch denn Qualitätsanforderungen entspricht.

Some fediverse instance admins: “How cool, Meta invited us to the adult table.”

Yes, they did.

Because you’re what’s for dinner.

On Thursday I got an email from a colleague excited about getting a live stream camera set up in a tern colony, with a clip of all the action. Today another email with a clip from the same camera, of birds dead and dying of HPAI, another brutal summer

Pokłosie weekendu: samochody na miejscówce. Było ich sporo. Zamierzam do piątku przenieść się w bardziej odludne miejsce. Auta, imprezy, głośna muzyka, nawet fajerwerki … nie tego teraz potrzebuję :)
