It takes a special kind of sociopathy to read a cautionary tale, look at the villain, and say "Yes! That's my business model!"

@john A good rule of thumb: if an average office worker in your country could get in trouble with HR if the image came up while scrolling in the office, but a CW on it.

@john Yeah, everyone has to draw their own line somewhere. Pick a cultural standard, and when deciding whether or not to CW an image, err on the side of being respectful. It's not like clicking through a CW is all that difficult.

@john I think that's ok. I'm firmly in the "CWs work as subject lines" camp. One tap through is literally the bare minimum of work on the user end. If you choose to turn them off, you're signing yourself up for surprises.

@john Then you end up in the self-curation camp, which is fine. I did see that the Mastodon feature roadmap has "exclude list from main feed" on it, which would let you have a SFW main feed that turns CWs off, with a separate list of NSFW accounts that you don't open up in public.

@john The CW functionality is a subject line/tag system. Sounds like you're asking for an existing feature. Is there something else you'd like it to do? That's a good feature request.

@john Some preset CW categories isn't a bad idea. NSFW/nudity, NSFW/violence, CW/self-harm, CW/politics, etc. Obviously you can't precategorize everything, but providing a few starter options would let folks choose to filter their home feed a bit more.

Holy shit this looks bad. Zero day wireless code execution vulnerabilities on a boatload of #Samsung and #Google phones... and also *cars* with the Samsung wireless chipset. Good luck getting automakers to patch those quickly.https://www.theverge.com/2023/3/16/23644013/samsung-exynos-modem-security-issue-project-zero#infosec #security #zeroday

This is a must-read Vox piece on what's causing the water crisis in the West: Cows. There's no way around it. We're draining the Colorado river for cows. Everything else is a literal drop in the bucket. Municipal conservation cannot solve the problem. Drying up golf courses and lawns cannot solve the problem. It's. The. Cows.https://www.vox.com/the-highlight/23655640/colorado-river-water-alfalfa-dairy-beef-meat#climate #climatechange #agriculture #cattle #cows #colorado #coloradoriver #drought
