@ianbetteridge funny that the worst people from Twitter making Bluesky a cesspit are also pushing hardest for traditional moderation there.

The only solution to the male loneliness epidemic is a mandatory foxgirl for every man.
Now if you think this is ridiculous and unreal, the alternative is to explore the decay of the social structures that once gave every other person the opportunity to create a social net that allow them to feel safe and to create healthy and long lasting bonds.
So, back to the foxgirls.

Today was ... interesting. If you followed me for the past months over on the shitbird site, you might have seen a bunch of angry German words, lots of graphs, and the occassional news paper, radio, or TV snippet with yours truely. Let me explain.
In Austria, inflation is way above the EU average. There's no end in sight. This is especially true for basic needs like energy and food.
Our government stated in May that they'd build a food price database together with the big grocery chains. But..

I didn't realise just how absolutely bizarre and honestly petty these reasons for blocking other instances were.
This is worse than letting little children run their own instances and bullying other children for the minor of differences.

Big, wonky win for #FairUse in US #copyright:
TLDR: If a tech standard becomes part of a legal standard, you can share it freely online without fear of liability for infringement.
“Many private organizations develop and copyright suggested technical standards ... We hold that the non-commercial dissemination of such standards, as incorporated by reference into law, constitutes fair use and thus cannot support liability for copyright infringement.
@dangillmor of course, some people have been saying journalists should leave Twitter for a long time.
Not generally people journalists like to listen to, but hey.
@jasonpettus of course, in 1995 the premier web browser was Netscape Navigator 2.0

"Gentles all!"
- Shakespearean
- Inclusive

@be I would say that the most problems are caused by those on the edges; <technical only> and <everything is political>.
I suspect both are expressions of some underlying personality damage.

I shared this privately before, but I just got the okay to share it in public. The Bluegrass Archive is online with a website and everything. This is a MASSIVE trove of legal live #bluegrass recordings from earliest days right up to now, which you can download and listen to for free. It is one of the greatest achievements of the fan-driven #music archiving community I've ever seen. I contributed a small number of filesets out of the thousands here. #music

15 year old me (circa 1979) had NO IDEA where this was going to end up when he first invented the Githyanki for a D&D campaign then submitted them to Don Turnbull for the Fiend Factory column in White Dwarf (which begat the Fiend Folio, and the rest is history) ...
