       @BillSaysThis @anon_opin It's a perfect example of a classic Wrong Opinion, of the form "I don't like X so it must follow that no-one else does either". Applies to Jazz, poetry, prog rock, etc. etc.

       @jyrgenn @BillSaysThis @anon_opin (For myself I am sceptical about kale, but I found it's *great* on top of pizza: it crisps up perfectly in the oven.)

       @jyrgenn @BillSaysThis @anon_opin Well wait a minute — ANYTHING would be good cooked with onions and lard then served with potatoes and smoked pork!

       @jyrgenn @BillSaysThis @anon_opin Well, now I really want to try it. Where is "my region"?

       @JMarkOckerbloom What a betrayal. The WHOLE POINT(*) of Mastodon is that I see only what I have explicitly chosen to see. Turning this crap on by default is a violation.(*) OK, not the WHOLE point, but still.CC @Gargron

       @Gargron Well, that is a relief! I saw your response to @JMarkOckerbloom. Thanks for chipping in, I'll delete my earlier post.

       "The truth is, tech doesn’t have an image problem. It doesn’t have a message problem. It has an intention problem. […] When you launch a product that’s designed to put millions of people out of work, block access to sources of verifiable truth, replace human creativity with slop, and lower the barriers to every sort of atrocity, the problem isn’t that you haven’t told the public a good story about those things. The problem is that you are trying to do them."https://www.theringer.com/2026/05/28/tech/pope-leo-xiv-ai-encyclical-tech-industry-problems

       @Gargron Thanks for responding. What this LOOKS like is Mastodon saying "Hey, here's a person who you don't follow but might want to". But much of the promise of Mastodon is precisely that it doesn't do that.Have I misunderstood what it is?

       @Gargron OK, thanks, I hope this is pilot error on my part. I'll see if the video casts light on it.

       @Gargron Oh, I assumed as a Prog Metal guy you'd be familiar with Neal Morse and co. I'm sure you know his drummer, though — Dream Theater's Mike Portnoy.Here's a sample track:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rL5u8nCI8FY

       @libreoffice Thanks. I just ploughed through, eating up the fifteen crash-and-recover cycles, but if you're interested in following this up, I will make a reproducible setup for you.
