Unfortunately, I think due to the way ActivityPub works, the domain name is inexorably tied to the instance. Trying to migrate to a new domain name would break a lot of federation to my understanding.

It looks like someone posted an attempt at a workaround here (latest reply): https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/5774

But it does require the self-destruct button because the old domain name has to be erased from other servers.

you WON'T BELIEVE what MOZILLA said about MICROSOFT 🚨 (watch to the end)

Y'all kids and your speedrun strats. Some of us have poor reaction time and need to perform safety setups.

I've never understood why people have such a hard time with the trolley problem. Obviously, if you pre-emptively move that lone guy over to the rail with the five, you can hit all six at once to maximize your score. Just requires a bit of setup.

🥸 well you see, you own a digital license to watch the movie so long as we have it available, have you read our terms of agreement--

Agreed that this is scummy marketing, though. The only real way to own media (legally) anymore is through physical copies, and even then maybe there's some provision that makes a DVD illegal due to license shenanigans... but no cop's gonna bust down your door for owning an illegal DVD of Aquaman.

I'm not great at this sort of stuff, but if Sign is meant to be a third party website that other websites authenticate your identity against, given by step 1:

Initial Step: Visit the ‘Sign’ website and input your email to start the process.

Could this also be likened to a less secure OAuth?

The 5 is a little taller than the 2, but it's clear and easy to read so I'll give you a 9.5/10, which should be added to your UNO score sheet under the "Draw Evaluation" section.

As I'm sure you know based on the official UNO rulebook, your Draw Evaluation scores will be averaged at the end of the game and then Average Draw Evaluation (or ADE) will be added to your other overall metrics such as ACH ("Average Cards in Hand") and SAC ("Summed Attack Cards", generally defined as attack cards you have played on others minus attack cards played on you, but some house rules assign different point values to different attack cards).

The metrics you choose to play with in any given game is of course something to be discussed with all players beforehand, but competitive UNO will of course utilize all standard metrics.

Did you know: the "Card Color Multiplier" metric isn't a standard metric? It's basically the Free Parking of UNO - very popular but not officially recognized.

Agreed. Instances always have the option to defederate with Threads should it prove spammy or ad-filled or socially awful, but I'm cautiously optimistic that Threads will pave the way for a more open social media paradigm in general. Decentralization is a core tenet of Web3, and everyone started focusing on the block chain and Bitcoins and whatnot but there's so much more to decentralization than that.

We already exist in a cyberpunk world, and people are just beginning to wake up to it. Implants that go obsolete, corporations controlling everything, the general sense of despair because you can't change the system, only rebel in hopes of improving the immediate life of yourself and those around you...

Re: this section:

As a technical writer, you should stay close to the teams whose work you are documenting. Listen out for any code, SDK, or product changes that may require action. When you hear that a tool may be deprecated, start communicating.

It just assumes that nobody will ever proactively reach out to the technical writer about deprecations, which is entirely true in practice, but just feels so sad to acknowledge. Please keep your content and document management team(s) in the loop!

people working at the San Francisco-based startup “look down on what they consider legacy companies” and “see themselves as innovators who are radically changing the world.”

With the rumors that the ethics board was worried about OpenAI and Altman moving too fast to truly consider ethics... This checks out. Startups are truly a different beast to larger "legacy companies", who move slower because they have checks and balances and a reputation to maintain.

I do think Microsoft would have given them a lot of leeway though, given the gold mine they were about to be sitting on. Staying at the front of the copilot race is critically important right now, and as Microsoft continues to move all its Office 365 services to the web and cross-connect them, it's even more important for them to have a copilot for Enterprise clients that spans and can pull data from all those services.
