@tek That section made me audibly UGH.

Hey all: thinking of buying (preferably) or assembling a #miniITX or #NUC PC or similar that can support running a masto server /pihole (and similar hobbyist things), very occasional gaming, and maybe the ability to crank out Stable Diffusion art once in awhile. Any recommendations on systems/specs would be appreciated. Kinda trying to avoid assembling, tbh for about 6 different reasons. #PC

A short thread and a poll: Should I renew my @IAPP membership? I've been frustrated with the IAPP for some time now. Between lackluster utility, to their recent position deciding to host PSR in Texas (post-Dobbs), putting reproductive folks in serious danger, and what I see as a monopolist position, I'm debating whether to renew or not.

Obviously, there's some utility. The CIPP-E/US designations carry weight and still mean something in the industry (though I don't really include them in my bio anymore). It's helpful for clients and bids. But at the same time, I'm established enough in my career that I don't _need_ the designations really. And knowing that they're a multi-million dollar organization that doesn't listen to their more impacted constituents really doesn't sit well with me.

By paying them another $275 for the privilege of maintaining my certification and access to their publications, it also feels like I'm supporting them politically. And that really doesn't sit well. So a question to #privacy and #dataprotection folks: Where are you on the debate? Have you renewed your membership? Should I?

#fedi folks: one thing (aside from quote tweets) I miss from Birdsite is the helpful #translate feature. Many of the brilliant folks I follow do not speak English natively, and my own language skills suck. At least within the app (#Tusky) there's no easy way to translate their wisdom. Is this something that could be added to either the app or Masto-wide?I looked on the mastodon GitHub and it looks like it can be enabled at the instance level? https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/19218

@edd Oh, now that's a concept I hadn't thought of, and that might be an elegant enough solution to what I want. The problem I find with only replies within a conversation is that it's not very inclusive (especially with no real 'search' feature.I have a shit memory for who should/might benefit from being included in a thread, even though their insights are helpful and add value - QTs helped with that. I rarely used it for dunking on people (and most of the folks I follow were the same).

@edd It was more to add context, broaden discussion or improve the dialog by polling the hivemind -- which, for my narrow band of weirdos (#privacy / #dataprotection folks) genuinely added to the substance of the thread. I get how different comunities' mileage may vary though.

This whole thing is a trainwreck and it's like I'm in a car that slows down to watch the carnage unfold. Exhibit A (text messages from the Twitter lawsuit) and text B, an email I, as a rando, received today encouraging me to invest in... Twitter.

@tek ooof. After reading that, my thoughts of setting up a mastodon server are now a bit dashed. I hear Pleroma is less...*waves wildly* all that... Have you any thoughts?

@stux @tek experienced similar challenges and shared what he did. https://blog.freeradical.zone/post/surviving-thriving-through-2022-11-05-meltdown/Dunno if it helps, but I think everyone is going through many of these challenges and you're all doing great.

@tek no problem boss. One question: will we get an edit button soon?
