Hey mastodon.social - looking for a good #opensource podcasting client. Any recommendations?
As a software developer, it pains me to admit, but must be shouted from the rooftops anyways:
Technology can't fix harassment.
Anyone expecting tech to fix harassment only enables the clever assholes.
Algorithms that boost messages are overwhelmingly used by the most vocal and ruthless of any population to polarize the rest of that population.
Let people boost messages, not algorithms. Let people stop harassment, not algorithms.
And PAY the moderators and community leaders their due!

You know how you can feel the subway train is coming by the sudden change in barometric pressure? That's the same as how I know the fifth graders are approaching the planetarium.

We tell each other to self host in order to escape the big corps. But when we die, all the self hosted stuff is going to get wiped and history will only remember the archives that got stored by the big corps. And you know how history is written by the winners. Do we need a way to automatically hand over our sites to archive.org or similar? Or send them disc images? Nobody expects to get run over by a car but some of us will, today. I made no plans for this.

And the miniatures were normal in the 1910s instead of niche as in the 1970s. Collections of lead soldiers used to be a synecdoche for boyhood. Painted to match particular armies, marched and invested on dustheap and counterpane, particular miniatures represented the child or a hero.
