I'm currently sitting at about $64 out of the 170 i plan on having for food, toiletries and now a box fan since I need one badly now that the AC is shot.
The humidity is planning on being awful this week so anything rn would be appreciated
Anyway, I love this bit of trivia: phone books used filler items, usually stuff like public service announcements, to fill space when the listings and ad buys didn't line up quite right.
One of the rules for placing filler was:
"Call Before You Dig!" can't go in the Mortuaries section.
I'm pleased to see that #Brutaldon is /actually/ Brutalist. Most "brutalist websites" these days take the term to be derived from the English term "brutal" ("savage, in-your-face, not concerned with ease of use") rather than the French term "brut" ("raw, unpolished"), and so they're gaudy and overdesigned, which is the /opposite/ of what Brutalism should be.
@Gargron@inmysocks@charlag A thought: right now, if you type a hashtag into the search box, you get what appears to be an alphabetical list. What if you implemented the trending functionality into that list, so that when I search for "cats", I actually see #catsofmastodon instead of "catsadon", "catsandacousticinstruments", "catsanddogslivingtogether", and "catsashumans"?
That improves discoverability while maintaining the "I'm interested in this" aspect of search.
After notes from @mike and @karen I've looked into this; it looks like @kaniini submitted a PR that fixed this to the dev branch 5 days ago.
Any Pleroma instance that's on master, or that's on dev but hasn't updated since then, will treat a block as a simple force-unfollow and WON'T prevent the user you blocked from refollowing you. And since, as far as I can tell, Pleroma doesn't use tagged releases, there's no way to tell which Pleroma instances have updated.
So um I just heard something that sets off enormous flashing screaming alarms: apparently Pleroma not only doesn't allow their users to block people, it doesn't allow people on non-Pleroma instances to block Pleroma users (they prefer to treat "block" as a simple force-unfollow).
I hope this isn't true, but if it is, it moves Pleroma from "has questionable developers" to "actively dangerous" in my mind.
"We shouldn't have laws against assault because if someone beats you up you can just take them aside and explain why beating you up was bad and ask them not to do it again."
This is how arguments against Codes of Conduct sound.
