One of the nice things about the Fedi is you run your instance pretty much how you please. There was some friction a few years ago when people formed factions that were all about bullying people into who they should or shouldn't federate with, to which I say: fuck that noise.

It's funny seeing all the drama at BlueSky about blocklists, because those people learnt the hard way this is not the safety utopia one thinks it is.

Don't judge them though, because exactly the same thing happened here, when a whole fucking bunch of users decided that what a community needed was lots of policing, and they behaved accordingly.

@Binder They had a lot of focus groups and testing to achieve this.

This is a machine I cloned out of prod and onto a private dev network, never had an issue with it breaking snap before.

Upgrading an Ubuntu server with do-release-upgrade and snap doesn't pick up web proxy by default? Come on, canonical.

@HikerGeek@mas.to It's a speed trap. They have a laser speed measurement camera with a telephoto optic. They have to get a reasonable image of the driver in case the ticket is disputed, but I don't think it's enough for facial recognition.

Similar to when Steven Toast uses 'Royce Coolidge' to check into a hotel, I keep registering VMs on our network then can't remember what I called them

3wks ago, on the M25 on the way to Dorset, a Camera Van perches on a flyover. One thing I definitely don't miss about the UK.
