@tooheymatthew You can't explain a joke.
@tooheymatthew @catsalad What joke?
@aspiringcat 1984 is political satire. Animal farm is a way better book if that is what you are looking for.
@sean that sounds about right, just remember it varies a lot based on where in the orbit we are.
@sean The tide is caused by the Sun as much as the Moon. The effects of Gravity is cancelled out by the Sun and Moon. The water is "pulled away" from the Earth on one side (towards the Sun) and the Earth from the water on the opposite, causing both of the tides that occurs in one day. If the Moon and Sun are on the same or opposite side of the Earth the tides becomes more pronounced, that's why you have high tides twice a month.
@marcan that sounds like the kind of broken that only an software engineer can invent.
@Beeflower @MishaalRahman Samsung got their identity stolen and the actor that stole it is spreading malicious apps with it. Apps that looks to your phone as if they are distributed by Samsung, meaning the phone can't tell the difference between them and core apps. This results in malicious actors having, potentially, complete control over an infected phone.
This problem should already be mitigated.

Having run my own test mastodon server, I can tell you that boosting is REALLY important. That's how posts propagate between servers that are not federated together.
I may get a bit technical, and it can be hard to describe but it's something like this:
Let's say that you have 2 servers, A and B that are not connected. They have their own federated timelines that is vastly different.
let's assume they have their users @a@A and @b@B that are mutuals. If user @a@A sees something interesting on theirs federated timeline and boosts it, user @b@B will see that on their own home page. But more importantly server B will now know about and download that post, and everyone else on B server will be able to see that post on their own federated timeline!
And that's why you boost, guys! It helps posts to spread.

I flag down a flight attendant. "I have a cat."
"I have a dog. Please sit down."
"Meow," says Alice.
"Uh," says the flight attendant.
@notfunnyelle@mstdn.social I solved that by pulling the battery out of my Gordon Ramsay, hasn't screamed once at me since.
@quincy @Lundemo @UncleDuke1969 hard to say, but for reference if the pan had been filled we wouldn't be talking about it now. I would guess an microscope would have been necessary to have seen the salad, given that the building seems intact.
@janie@mastodon.lol I wish I remembered what it's called, but it's common among all mammals as far as I know.
Is editing toot breaking replys a commonly understood problem, or is it a unique "feature" of my server/client?
@AtomicCowBell for some definitions of those terms, I guess they could apply to me?

I’ve said it once, and I’ll say it a thousand times: Encouraging kids to be who they are is suicide prevention.
@mcc I am sorry but that's not capitalism.
@stilescrisis @alyssa@treehouse.systems in my experience it always memory. some time it's the algorithms, but it's rear they are terrible enough to matter. unless they do terrible things to the cashes.
@david_colquhoun @TheRealTraceyDelaney you are allowed to speak about your own country without caveat. I know that its confusing given that (American) English is the international lingua franca.
