Hmm so if I tag this #bookstodon or #bookStadon or #bookMastodon does that help?
I quite liked it.
It's not every day that I can quote "there's no such thing as overkill, there's only open fire and reload" in a therapy session and have it be the exact right thing to say.
It's been a good day.
Flavour Flav fully sponsoring the US women's water polo financially, rerecording "he got game" to "she got game" and donating the proceeds to woman in sports charity...
There's a man who's opinions on woman's sports I would take seriously.

Fascinating, if a little worrying.
Turns out there's a livestream with me in it. 2pm UK time!

I guess they don't grow it in a pot? I've got some lovely bamboo in my garden that stays where I want it, but it took Quite Some Effort to dig the whole for the pot.

Thanks, but I don't want to write blog length reviews. I'd rather just talk about them as a fan rather than a critic. I'm not a writer of fiction after all. :)

Yeah, I remember that one. Verging on the uncanny valley.
And just one of the many bits of informational microplastics and misinformation polluting our learning environments.
*smh* The damage done will be going for years.
Another one for #books I guess. I would say it's also #fantasy and #milFantasy (to contrast with #milSF as well.
What's that? A livestream? And I'm on it? At 2pm UK time?
Weird. Possibly unsavoury. Who can say?
Coming to Youtube, Twitch and *checks notes* Facebook in about 30 minutes.
What did I say? That it's the New York Transphobia and you can't trust it as a source for journalism.
But who listens?
Anyway here's a former NY Transphobia editor spelling it out.
I really could do with less being right. :-(

Some user friendliness in the user sign up process is good. I suggest that you read the thread again.
Twitter got bought. If someone offered me a mere billion dollars I'd sell Mastodon.social were it mine to sell.
$1,000,000,0000. Convert that to your local currency and think about your family and friends and how you could make the world a better place with that money.
I'd do it and not even feel guilty TBPH.

I understand where you're coming from (4.1k posts this month is quite impressive, you clearly like it here).
This is my third account, so I don't disagree that the UX is not great.
I think that onboarding people into .social is contrary to good decentralised practice. Where are the extra moderators coming from? With so many users, Mastodon.social _already_ had complaints of bad moderation.
This looks guaranteed to lead to it's defederation.

_We_ are the algorithm. Boosts, replies and favourites make posts appear in trending.
When we # posts, #Hashtag_Lore say, we let other people find it, alas not across all servers.
When we boost, people in our timezone see it.
When we reply, people may see an interesting conversation and stick their nose in.
And liking is a trend push and also is nice to get. "Good Post!"
There are boost groups too like @noun @a.gup.pe (no space) which boost anything they're tagged in!

For a modern society where people move for short term contracts or as part of going where the jobs are, a rental market is good actually.
I've moved several times and wouldn't have been able to afford a home.
The totally unregulated pricing and out of hand slum-lordery of the majority of landlords is real bad money driving out good.

Not wrong at all. Also, maybe MS spending a $1bn+ on a "sounds like what a real answer would" generator is not something to hang your business off.
Although apparently it sometimes writes code that isn't buggy in an obvious fashion!

We _have_ incontrovertible proof from scientists but people would rather just keep listening to politicians. IDK why, maybe they don't want to hurt their feelings?

I see announcements like this frequently. The longer the (non dictionary) password the safer it is (T&Cs apply).
But when I create an account I'm _always_ asked for 8-12 characters, must include a number blahblahblah. Which is hard to remember and less secure!
The only account I've had where I can do this is Steam!
It doesn't matter what PSA you do, the public do not set the password policies!

Is it? I'm watching infosec people point out that it writes insecure code and that it's a nightmare to patch those vulnerabilities.

Password managers don't work for me. Neither does having a separate physical key to manage. There are too many scenarios in my life where I would end up locked out permanently or the consequences of not being able to get in are too catastrophic.

Had you considered reading the link that you posted? It does not mention library royalties.
Here is a link, parochially, I admit, from the UK government.
