@FediTips do you have any tips/suggestions how to add a 'share on Mastodon' button to a website? It's a bit tricky as we have so many different instances! I came up with this (see the screenshot) solution, but that's hardly convenient for the user🫠
Sounds good but would tend to avoid including "mastodon.social" as default. Some people seem to think they need to put that evey when they are on other servers, or think it is somehow the only "real" Mastodon server.
Maybe. My assumption is that people who already picked a different mastodon server already know the difference. And people who don't know the difference probably just use the "default" one anyway. However, I don't have any data to check if it's true.

Tufton Street loves their Russian spies and friends. Not surprised.
That's the same court that believes it has the authority to hold Scotland as a permanent colony with no right to determine its own future even though Scotland has its own legal system and always has.
@w7voa Good, whatever your personal feelings about Assange are, the US legal system is corrupt and this whole process is an attack on free speech and the media. The US commits war crimes, it's one reason they refuse to acknowledge all kinds of human rights protecting organizations.
Natasha Brown’s Assembly is quite the Novella. “I've watched with dispassionate curiosity as this continent hacks away at itself: confused, lost, sick with nostalgia for those imperialist glory days - when the them had been so clearly defined! It's evident now, obvious in retrospect as the proof of root-two's irrationality, that these world superpowers are neither infallible, nor superior. They're nothing, not without a brutally enforced relativity. An organized, systematic brutality that their soft and sagging children can scarcely stomach - won't even acknowledge. Yet cling to as truth. There was never any absolute, no decree from God. Just viscous, random chance. And then, compounding.” @bookstodon#bookstodonhttps://www.goodreads.com/book/show/58600914
Finally!
The International Criminal Court has applied for arrest warrants for the leaders of Hamas in Gaza & for President Netanyahu and his defence minister Yoav Galant for war crimes.
This will put a very large cat among those pigeons who are enabling such war crimes.
This weekend's #Splatfest is no over. We'll get results about which team wins for what they would do at the end of the world in approximately 2 hours at 3am BST.
For now, make sure to redeem your Conch Shells at the Shell-Out Machine before results are in to avoid them being converted into Money.
@nixCraft I don't think process accounting is the right way to do this anymore. It's how I used to do it 25 years ago but now we have auditd which provides a much more complete picture.
There’s also another imperative here: market share drives corporations, it comes from the math governing manufacturing costs. The largest factor is fixed costs (the factory). The more they sell, the lower fixed costs becomes to the capital investment. This motivation can be seen as ‘natural’, in the sense of making the most of any effort. The impulse to efficiency is another dynamic. It drives avarice (market share).
#SteveKeen worked out the correct math governing profits
Worst piece of AI generated text I've found so far (today, at least): a guide to using an online stock checker that told me the best way to check stock online was to go to the store and ask. That way I won't be disappointed when I get there.
@karlbunyan My point - AI is so insanely bad at translation to languages, it actually unbelievable how bad it is compare to basic dictionary-like translation from early 2000.
Since 2020 every year Google-translate become worse and worse, it was so weird to see how it getting worse literally every day, today - it impossible to translate even 2-words sentence and words with multiple meanings - always jump on absolute non popular that no one use nonsense translation.
@gamingonlinux Sounds almost too good to be true. Who's actually making this though? I can't even find that on the website, and the github only has one contributor who's a bit light on info.
Huh, I just learned that "foldout" is not an established term for UI controls that expand/collapse display of sub elements in a tree hierarchy. Apparently that's just in Unity it's called that.
Instead it's called overly specific things tied to the visual presentation, like "rotating arrows" or cryptic/technical general terms like "progressive disclosure controls" or "disclosure widgets". 🤯
@runevision huh, I would have never guessed. Petition to make "foldout" a widely used term, since it is very clear and way less cryptic / simpler than "disclosure triangle" and friends.
#Wikileaks founder Julian #Assange can bring a new appeal against extradition to the US, the High Court has ruled.
He was granted permission to appeal against the order that he be sent to the US to stand trial for leaking military secrets, which prosecutors say endangered lives.
