@LeamValley @noelreports Star doesn't mean you like the event, but that you like the fact that someone wrote about the event. Boosting means "other people need to see this".
@noelreports Well, you are an account that posts information. On corporate socials, people react to make the algorithm boost you. Mastodon has no algorithm and thus people feel no need to add generic sad comments on sad posts, cheers on happy posts, etc. They just read and move on.
Since you are posting the same news on all social media, why not simply automate posting? A bridge could work, but there are also apps that help post to multiple services. They could make your life easier.
@hajovonta @skolima @urwumpe @noelreports It is stupid too because it would both increase dependence on a hostile state and fund its rearmament.
@BagOfNails @auschwitzmuseum A day ago there was a post about a survivor with the number 800: https://mastodon.world/@auschwitzmuseum/113912946817777005
@mariob @EUCommission Those two aren't mutually exclusive.
@juliette @auschwitzmuseum That's assuming the death reason records are reliable. I can imagine the guards killing someone for fun and then entering a bogus death reason.

@delta @pluralistic Does the Signal team know about it?
@eff (Yes, mouse is feminine, so it technically should be eine.)
@eff Ein Künstler, ein Copyright, ein Maus
@auschwitzmuseum Glad to hear he survived, with such a low number too.
@eff I would translate "lawful but awful" as "zgodnych z prawem, ale okropnych" instead of "zgodnych z prawem, ale przerażających". Przerażający means scary, terrifying.
@GrapheneOS @Kulei @newhinton What checks does Accrescent perform other than enforcing a minimum API level? I assume more checks than Google Play, but what are they?
F-Droid has a warning like "this app was built for an older Android version and cannot be updated automatically" (rough translation). I assume this refers to the app targeting an old API level?
@cryptgoat @GrapheneOS @fdroidorg @Kulei @newhinton Thanks for the warning about Qlango. I was considering it.
@MartinaNeumayer @panoptykon @altbot Większość z tych zastosowań wcale nie wymaga "bezczelnej kradzieży" treści z Internetu. I jak wspomniano w artykule, wiele z tych zastosowań używa mniejszych modeli, a nie tych wielkich, fundacyjnych. 2/2
@MartinaNeumayer @panoptykon Sztuczna inteligencja to nie tylko ChatGPT czy generatory obrazów. SI pomaga odkrywać nowe materiały krystaliczne, zwijać białka, tłumaczyć tekst lub mowę, zwiększać dostępność (opisywać obrazy - @altbot, czytać tekst na głos, wpisywać dyktowany tekst), wykrywać choroby, przewidywać pogodę, dbać o cyberbezpieczeństwo, sortować śmieci, itd. 1/2
@foufoutos @EUCommission I suspect to prevent people paying for national insurance in one country but using another country's better, but much more expensive healthcare system en masse. For example, if Polish insurance had to pay the rates of German hospitals, it would go bankrupt.

As someone who is totally blind, the Fediverse is the only place where I have ever been able to follow people such as photographers, artists, or even those who post pictures of their cats or the food they ate. The reason is that most of them use alt text. They take the time to describe the images that my screen reader can't recognise. Some write the descriptions themselves, and others use tools such as altbot. Some worry that their descriptions aren't good enough, especially when they are new at this. Let me assure you, not only are they good enough, they are extremely appreciated! If the rest of the world thought as you did, it would be a much better place. Don't hesitate to ask if you're unsure of something, but never think that we don't notice your effort.

@arno_in_sing @noelreports Indeed. The fiber optic cable without any protective wrappers is very thin.
