You look pretty stupid…

Stupidly pretty.

You don't understand, Lloyd's decision was clearly a direct order from our ZOG. Don't you know, everything is connected.

The Canvas patch is almost done. Except that we need more testing, specifically for its MS Windows port. (Though testers on other operating systems like GNU/Linux and MacOS are also welcome.)

Since we don't have any computers running MS Windows, we are not sure if the code is actually correct.

Evan Prodromou recently launched tags.pub, which is a service that creates a bunch of accounts that boost hashtags. People on the masto side didn't like that it was opt out, and getting their notifications spammed.

Is this about that new hashtag instance Prodromou launcher?

Looking at it, it's weird that it doesn't respect indexable flag on profiles, instead saying you need to add a hashtag to your bio to opt out?

I wonder why the man who makes money off engine royalties might have a problem with something that can dramatically affect sales after stuffing that engine with the crap people hate.

So MPs are pushing up the bill to repair the building because they don't want to work elsewhere for a while? The entitlement, man.

I don't disagree, and the plugin system is cool as it'll enable people to build things like that. I think SJW even has something like that already. But I can't begin to tell you how much work a simple text filter would have saved me as an admin.

My mum always said to drink hot drinks in hot weather to regulate temperature. This was not her wisest advice.

More than £100 billion in clean energy investment announcements has been secured since the government came to office, Energy Secretary Ed Miliband will confirm at London Climate Action Week, as he declares Britain is part of a global boom in clean energy that is creating jobs across the UK and boosting energy security.

It follows a recent announcement of up to £9 billion investment from Japan into the UK’s offshore wind industry, and Rolls-Royce SMR winning a multi-billion-pound Sweden nuclear export contract off the back of the UK’s pioneering SMR programme. Meanwhile today (Tuesday 23 June), National Grid confirmed £1.2 billion of contracts to upgrade 1,000km of transmission lines.

This year’s renewable auctions have unlocked the largest chunk of private investment this parliament, with £27 billion mobilised in clean energy investment. $2 trillion investment is expected globally in clean energy this year.

URLS, no, but it can disallow specific domains.

It does work on URLs. The https part gets stipped out because of how the regex is built internally, but you can absolutely block a Github repo. I have a Discord invite link in the feddit.uk one.

Until relatively recently, it would only prevent users of that instance from posting to them, but somewhat recently it now prevents inbound federation of anything linking to those. If something links to a blocked URL (post, comment, user with that in their bio, etc),

It always worked on federated content? It was added in response to a Mastodon spam wave (source: I added it).

Presumably they must think this is a good thing, given they run a cloud gaming platform.

Yeah, Imgur blocked the UK in response to getting fined by the ICO for illegal data harvesting. It's honestly mad so many people seem to take their side.

The social media policy ratchet (www.openrightsgroup.org)

For more than a decade, UK governments have introduced successive child safety measures, responding to public concern about the availability of content that is either unsuitable or harmful to children, or due to harmful interactions ranging from bullying. Yet at each stage, the measures have delivered far less than was expected. Meanwhile, as online problems appear to escalate, the measures imposed seem more and more extreme, and even politicians admit that they’re likely to be less than fully effective. What is going on?
