@Rovine

The more you doubt your own knowledge, intelligence, and abilities, presuming you are motivated and persistent at learning them, the more likely you are to be brilliant at them (if you arent already).

@david

@Wolf480pl ahhh :)

@imvectech

BTW youd be welcome to host your code and other resources on our qoto gitlab or other resources for free if youd like (we have ultimate license which normally costs 100$ a month on gitlab.com)

@publiclab

@Wolf480pl well democrats are more an example of neo-liberals than a definition.

Generally a neo-liberal are groups that are willing to use strict series of laws in order to force people to behave in ways that are intended (though often fail) to make people care more about underprivileged groups.

In theory its a fine idea, in practice it doesnt work out so well in a lot of cases.

@Wolf480pl Yea i dont like the wording either but its what people understand.. .classical liberal = libertarian .. neo-liberal = democrat (sorta)

@Wolf480pl Ohh i see what your saying. I think your confusing classical liberals (they largely dont exist in modern society) with neo-liberals (what we usually mean by liberal these days). Same for conservatives, im referring to neo-conservatives.

@Wolf480pl Well I guess depends. I am refering to the subset of the liberal left which happens to be authoritarian. But on the fediverse (unlike in the real world) that does feel like a majority of the left.

But i agree we arent talking about the left as a whole here, just the ones who act the way I speak of, which is a large percentage sadly.

@Wolf480pl

I considered that, and there are ways to address that to varrying degrees.

1) The most secure solution would work by each server in the federation spoofing a user on others servers int he federation. While this does still require the servers to cooperate (open registration mechanisms and such) it means that a server wouldnt be able to tell the difference between one of its own users and a spoofed user used to detect bans. As such even modifying their internal code wouldnt prevent detection.

2) work on a simpler good faith method. Basically if and when a server is found to violate the agreement the domain becomes permanently blocked. Otherwise trust the code is running as expected

@inditoot

@Wolf480pl

Thats where the modified code comes in. Anything in the cooperative would need the modified code. So if someone in the cooperative blocks another instance since both are int he cooperative and both would be running the modified code both instances would be aware of the block.

@inditoot

@Wolf480pl

Also it wouldnt be something that would be public perse or knowable to the outside. It may be that only those within the cooperative have access to that information.

@inditoot

@Wolf480pl

Thats why if people like the idea I would solve it via a mastodon code change rather than through human process. Anyone running the modified code can chose to join aany cooperative where they obey the conditions (dont currently block any members of said cooperative).

If any instance int he cooperative bans any other all members of the cooperative would be notified and perhaps the software would even automatically respond by defederating.

@inditoot

@pschwede wwwoooaaa cool

@p Dude I lost my shit when they busted out the ghostbusters prop like it was a walkie talkie... hahahaha they really gave no fucks

Pro tip of the day: wear your underwear backwards and the pee-hole becomes a poop-hole!

@p cheezy is what i came for. I'm an 80's kid i got cheese whiz in my veins :)

@p lol i expect nothing less of the 80s

@p I already feel that cheezy 80's goodness from the intro :)

So there is this really cheezy movie from the 80's when i was a kid that has always been stuck in my head. I never remembered the name just the basic idea. There were a pair of glasses that let them see aliens that otherwise looked like humans.

I thought I'd never remember what the movie was, something i saw on tv in the middle of the night. But just now I saw an animated gif scroll past my feed witht he quote "Either put these glasses on or start eating that trash can".I suspected it might be the movie and now that i searched ont he quote I found it.

The movie was "They Live" and I am about to watch it!
