  1. @quaap I don't write much on Quora, but sometimes, the very thought of Lipton Tea forces me into doing so.

  3. #Unhinged #Quora Questions

    It's that time again folks- time to give our best answers to some of the absolutely unhinged #questions on Quora. From #Darwin vs #Creationism through "What would happen if I injected myself with wolf DNA?", it's sure to be a wild ride.

  4. Recently I wrote, and then copy-and-pasted to a variety of places, about how #creationist and other #antiscience #propaganda is often “horrible effective.” That was supposed to be “horribly effective,” of course. On #Facebook and #Quora I can edit it, but on #Mastodon I can’t.

    So I think I’ll just leave it in place. It has the ring of a missing couplet from #Kipling’s #Tommy: “Ken ‘Am’s lies is bloomin’ everywhere / An’ ‘orrible effective too!” Seems like it fits my life.

  5. #Quora is "fun" because you get to be an "expert" #qualified to answer complex #geopolitical #questions completely wrong and the only #qualification you need to talk out of your ass is "knows Finnish".

  8. @redacted @reiver @ellisgl On the other hand, I've seen a lot of websites deliberately turn off #ServerSideRendering when analytics show that a lot of visitors are using script blockers to evade interest-based ads and metering. #Quora and #Fortune are among them.

    Amen!

    Death to all of the deprecated, privacy disrespecting legacy silos of the surveillance state!

    We lost another maverick Independant service this week after 23 years of community service - Gigablast.

  11. ## Making Better Use of Space

    ### Moving that old white elephant in the room.

    There's been a lot of talk lately, and speculation, about the #Fediverse. Yet for the most part, only with respect to a single brand of server platform.

    What I find particularly odd about that, is it's a rather lackluster server platform (especially considering the hefty system requirements) with an extremely limited feature list. Mastodon servers have a hard coded default character count limit per post of only 500 characters - more than Twitter, but not often enough to get a complete thought out with a link to somewhere else, or engage in a conversational thread, and certainly nowhere near what you need to post a news article, holiday recipe, tutorial, HowTo, or movie review.

    As if a paltry 500 character limit isn't bad enough for this resource hog, virtually every other Fediverse platform provides for sensible , and configurable message lengths with common defaults of 2000, 5000, or more; most support #Markdown, and other ubiquitous text formats like #LaTex or #HTML, and some even have built in #WYSIWYG editors - like #WordPress, #Hubzilla, and #Drupal, with big players like #Imgur and #Tumblr already looking forward to their official Fediverse launches soon.

    When those latter two giants arrive on the scene, the world of social networking will truly be interconnected, having achieved critical mass. It will be a revolution, a juggernaut toppling the deprecated, legacy monolithic silos that have so insidiously subverted and subjugated the masses like chattel. But I digress.

    Other Fediverse platforms have offered the ability for people to edit their own posts for a long time, some for years, yet mastodon enabled this capability less than a month ago. It lags behind most other Fediverse platforms in several other ways too - groups, marketplaces, federated chat, and several other often requested functions are all but ignored by that platforms' developer while other Fediverse servers enjoy active and ambitious development cycles with new feature releases.

    So considering it is so lacking in basic functionality compared to the other more prominent contemporaries, I've assembled a curated list below where you can evaluate and testdrive others for yourself. I've included links to some of the most darling up and coming projects like #Foundkey and #Quanta, that scale to thousands of users, and if you truly want an even smaller, minimalist Fediverse platform I've included #MicroBlogPub too. There's a couple of web tools including databases so you can search for even more platforms, instances, and compare statistics.

    Choosing from the list below, you can join existing instances, self-host your own, or even have a professional #hosting_provider do it for you - simply pick a #turnkey provider where in just a couple of clicks your new fully managed Fediverse server will be online in only a minute or two!

    There are literally free and privacy respecting Fediverse platforms to replace everything from #Faceplant, #Twatter, #Reddit, #YouTube, #twitch, #InstaSPAM, #Spotify, #Quora and so very much more!

    And most are so light on system resources that you can run then on an old laptop or #Raspberry_Pi in your home.

    Without further adieu, here's a list of [some of] the most prominent Fediverse server platforms in operation.

    And you should return the favor by never posting unsanitized Twitter links to the #Fediverse either 🙂

    I recommend you do a search for "IndyWeb POSSE" program. Which explains the philosophy behind only posting Fediverse links into the deprecated legacy silos, and never posting unsanitized links from places there like twitter into the Fediverse.

    Basically, you do a disservice posting links in the Fediverse that lead people to the very monolithic, privacy disrespecting silos that they've already left behind.

    Instead, if you even bother to use those deprecated legacy silo systems, post links bringing the people there at places like twitter to content that exists here in the Fediverse, thereby providing incentives to create accounts on Fediverse platforms like #Friendica, #FunkWhale, #MicroPub, #Mitra, #PeerTube, #Pixelfed, #Pleroma, #Soapbox, #Quanta, Etc., Thereby joining the Fediverse 👍

    If you find that you really must post a link leading to one of the deprecated silos, then please consider #sanitizing such links. i.e., in the case of Twitter, you can use the very popular #Nitter by just replacing the "twitter .com" with "nitter .net" in the URL.

    If you're on #Android, #Fedilab does this "automagically" for you if you have safe posting enabled.

    If you're on desktop, there's a whole list of similar sanitation tools you can use for #Reddit, for example, by changing the domain in the URL to #Teddit .net and similar tools for #InstaSPAM, #Quora, and many others too. For #YouTube, you can use #Invidious.

    A long list of these privacy protecting utilities is provided at:

    pussthecat.org/

    And you can install Fedilab from F-Droid too:

    Fedilab.App

    You can also install the #UntrackMe app at F-Droid for generating safe links when not posting to the Fediverse - desks details are at three Fedilab website above.

    I hope that helps!

  14. #introduction 🖖

    I’ve worked at #NASA since the beginning of the #internationalspacestation , training #astronauts , #cosmonauts , and #flightcontrollers on guidance, navigation, control, and propulsion. I was a flight controller for the visiting vehicles to ISS. I co-led NASA’s instructor training program. Today, I manage instructors, software developers, #InstructionalDesigners, and video producers.

    I love teaching. I exercise those muscles as a #sciencecommunicator on #quora.
