okay, weird framing, but cool! new implementations of things are great, they expose a lot of baked in complexity people don't often think about

@cwebber i use tumblr more then I use mastodon, i'm very familiar with how tags work. I'm very familiar with "fan is a tool using animal" and have written a lot about how I think it's good in some places but bad in others.

specifically I don't understand how users are supposed to choose between "sensitive tags" and "normal tags" when they're making posts. Is this supposed to be a separate field? a way of annotating existing tags using a checkbox or some type of glyph?

Okay, Paprika is ready and loaded! You can join the room here:

If you haven't heard of Paprika before, it's a trippy dreamscape anime movie by the renowned animation director Satoshi Kon. It's about a scientist who develops the technology to visit peoples dreams, and technological capers ensue!

@gargron but this was a huge opsec failure on the part of The Intercept—they should have known enough to look for them and strip them before publication.

And there's no way of telling what methods the government *actually* used for it's investigation—that's the "parallel construction" at work. They don't have to reveal the existence of microdots in court, because they have the crease as plausible explanation.

Have YOU ever tried fetching a c++ library over maven to use as a runtime dependency for a nodejs app?

Well I have, and let me tell you, I have looked into the face of god at least 3 times today

@vhf are you aware that mastodon deliberately does not have full text search, because it makes individuals talking about topics immediately in a "public space" on those keywords, and leads directly to harassment? That's why only hashtags are searches: they're opt-in, not automatic or opt-out.

Jusy an FYI that if you continue to grow this search engine, you're going to create a LOT of friction and ill will against you in the community. People are already contemplating domain blocks.

you'd think that at least SOME people would be able to get this sort of thing right

@mala Honestly I think IPFS would be a perfect drop-in replacement for mastodon asset sharing right now? If every mastodon server was running an IPFS server, then most things would Just Work.

Please stop spreading the rumor that mastodon admins could be held personally liable for images that get automatically federated. In the US, the CDA specifically prohibits this.

"No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider".

Propagating this misinformation has caused many admins to make hasty decisions, to the detriment of the entire fediverse. Please don't do this
