"TikTok is, at the moment, the most monkeys at the most typewriters you’re going to find on one platform. And it’s scaring everyone. But it shouldn’t! And if Spotify can’t just be Spotify, a stable, growing, incredibly profitable hub for a very specific kind of user interaction with music, with audio, then, truly, what is the point? Put another way: Why even try and build different platforms at all if they’re all just going to become video apps?" https://open.substack.com/pub/garbageday/p/an-infinite-amount-of-monkeys-at?r=22hu3&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=email

So, Meta joining fedi…
We’d all better pull a Gab on that one.
@jtamboli My theory is that I was rotating profile public keys frequently. People seemed to experience a dropped profile when their server tried to refresh it. I am not rotating anymore, but it's kinda hard to test if my theory is right
@jtamboli But is it an account that was added since yesterday? If I'm right in the source of the bug, old insertion from at least a few days will still experience this, but not the new ones.
Since you have a script, could you remove everything and add it back? That would be a strong test

Hi, we're the .NET Community Team at Microsoft. We help run the blog, live streams, events like .NET Conf, and lots more.
We ❤️ the .NET developer community! We're happy to be here to share news, answer your questions, and... toot? It's called a toot, seriously? I guess toot, then.
Thank you to @styx31 & team for setting up and running this amazing community instance.
I think I have figured out how to fix the issue where bird.makeup accounts get dropped from lists on mastodon ( https://todo.sr.ht/~cloutier/bird.makeup/5 )
Can you all try using lists again to check if my change actually fixed it?

In Node.js v18 we removed an old-time fix that reordered the DNS results to put IPv4 addresses before IPv6. As IPv6 gets widespread usage, this is the right call to do.
This has exposed so many broken IPv6 networks. What can you do if you on one?
$ node --dns-result-order=ipv4first

If a person says they want to see Mastodon scale to support 100 million users, a lot of Mastodon users will jump on that person's neck. 🤷🏿♂️ They'll be accused of having "VC brain", or being obsessed with hyper growth.
It's not about hyper growth for growth's sake. If you truly believe that Twitter is bad(tm) and Mastodon is good(tm), and that people should leave Twitter, then where exactly do you think those people should go? There's hundreds of millions of them.
@khalidabuhakmeh why would you want to do something like that?
@k your instance admin probably banned it

i'm so sorry for being that guy but i can't overstate how reminiscent current twitter is of Portal 2 when the entire facility starts to break down because wheatley got so insecure about being called a moron he starts cobbling together abominations that don't work out of spite

@agx You can use my side project https://bird.makeup/ to follow twitter users from here if you want. Then you'll have no need for that web UI!
Maybe I'll be able to do QT as literal quotes with the rich text support that's coming to Mastodon. Interesting!

I just realized that one of the things that bugs me is people equating stereotypical Linux problems on Asahi with other platforms, because it's not the same, because we actually care.
Suspend not working, audio not working, power management being bad... all those things are Linux on $random_platform support memes. And they're memes because they never get fixed, because nobody cares. Acer isn't fixing their ACPI to make suspend not break for you. Nobody is spending time getting your speakers on your OEM laptop sounding good. And good luck getting anyone to even think about debugging why your NVMe drive stays warm in suspend and kills battery life.
Yes, you're going to run into the same things in Asahi today, but the difference is we care. And we're going to fix them. And since we control all the drivers and the pre-Linux bootloaders and everything is open source and we know things can be made to work at least as well as macOS, we can fix them.
