Hello there!
I boost a lot of posts, but I have a few things to say every now and then.
I am largely fine with boosting posts from people I disagree with even on significant, dividing issues. I usually don't, however, if they actively advocate for these ideas... so it goes :/

If you're @-ing someone on here, it's really important to check that you've chosen the right person.
Account addresses on Mastodon and the Fediverse always have two parts, the username and the server. Both these parts have to be correct for it to reach the right account.
This is similar to email addresses: you can't just put the first part, you need to include the server at the end too.
To see someone's full account address, look at their profile page. More info at https://fedi.tips/how-to-use-mastodon-and-the-fediverse-basic-tips/#WhatsMyAccountsAddress
@stafford_greer@mstdn.ca 🤜 🤛
@Fu It is an unusual thing to do; what I do is copy the Zero Width Space character (right-><-here) and paste it where I need it.
My computer has an app called Characters, where I can search for the name of a character to find and copy it. You can also probably google for "zero width space" and find a site with a copy button, too.
@RL_Dane *Googles excitedly*
@RL_Dane Woahwoahwoahwoahwoah woah Alt+Shift+F7 for advanced settings? Is this a hidden undocumented feature or is that keycombo shown on the screen?
Is it a normal thing to have hidden firmware settings?

Turns out that Adobe is collecting all of its customers' pictures into a machine learning training set.
This is opt-out, not opt-in so if you use Lightroom, for example, it defaults to adding all of your photos to the set.
If these are unpublished pictures, work-in-progress, etc. they'll still be analysed as soon as they're synced.
I've been using Lightroom to sync photos from my Windows desktop to my iPad. Now I need to reconsider that.
@servant I don't unfollow for the f-word but it's in my list of blocked words 💯

I am forever grateful to him for building & popularizing Mastodon, but I don't think @Gargron should be working on features at all right now.
Instead, he and the Mastodon non-profit (and a whole bunch of others) should be figuring out governance for collectively making decisions about Mastodon. Features in the Fediverse shouldn't be up to one guy, or even one company.
That's the whole point of the Fediverse. We do this together, or not at all.

@Venture @Dawangthang I'm going to see if I can get some of a small Discord server of Smash players to join the Fediverse. I'm suggesting https://join.fgc.network/ ; though Mastodon-powered servers look more user-friendly. Any suggestions?
@BadWolfLil @QasimRashid I didn't mean UBI is the right way to go; I'm not sure of how the logistics could work for that. I'm more in favor of equal *opportunity* than forced equity; e.g. I'm thinking that just the money you make is your income, except there's a welfare system for the less fortunate.

@QasimRashid It's not an either/or proposition. A society can and should invest in both.
@BadWolfLil Totally. Both are necessary to invest in.
Though otherwise I think @QasimRashid has a good point.
