@Gargron @taylorlorenz the underlying complaint seems to be that quote-tweets drive virality and even if they implemented quote tweets on their own server it would only drive virality within their own server, because most servers won't have quote tweets.

@konni @alex @Gargron @taylorlorenz that's the thing, boosting doesn't work because you can't add your commentary to it. You're just boosting a privileged take without the ability to point out that it's privileged. They're not asking for algorithmic boosting of marginalized voices, they're asking for a quote tweet feature and searchability

@konni @alex @Gargron @taylorlorenz I get that these have downsides, I tend to think they're more good than bad, but also it seems like a reasonably easy to implement compromise is let individual users and servers opt out

@konni @alex @Gargron @taylorlorenz search would also make mastodon a lot better as a way to find information, for example about breaking news stories. People tell me "but mastodon is not twitter" ok well where can I go to follow news then

@realcaseyrollins @darnell I do wonder whether they will eventually start billing people automatically, separate from the ad program. Obviously they don't have their credit card but doesn't stop them from accumulating a bill and suing

have any programmers experimented with using some kind of dictation software to write code? I'm wondering if there are any upsides

like what I mean is a lot of programmers think there's upsides to "pair programming" where one programmer dictates to the other, do any of these benefits accrue if you use dictation software?

I suppose the answer is nobody has tried because nobody has built dictation software tailored to programmers?

In case anyone needed a reason to stay on this website instead of the other website

being on android means never knowing if apple users are texting "Big yellow thumb!" or they used an emoji and their OS is spazzing out

might just be because I have "advanced text features" turned off but this is so dumb, I'm not turning on read receipts and text indicators--which nobody asked for--in order to see emoji reactions

I wish more tech people asked "how will the most annoying person in my life use this feature" before building it

@interfluidity @blair_fix what are they measuring as income? Like, 10th percentile of all americans has a market income of precisely $0, so I guess this is 10% of those who have >$0 income? those who have a job?
