Size and commercialisation generally go hand in hand. After all, how do you keep something running with infinite users submitting infinite content for free?

This is a big issue for everyone, it’s important that the fediverse understands that size might some day increase the importance of sensible business models or proactive funding initiatives to counter the growth. This doesn’t mean harmful profit models necessarily, but it does mean keeping revenues under control for individually run nodes or for archiving services for old fediverse domains that might not exist forever.

KNBR is a 50KW "Class A" (formerly "clear channel") mediumwave (AM) rado station broadcasting on 680 KHz, serving the San Francisco Bay area (and, at night, most of the west coast of the US). Opened in 1922, It was originally known as KPO, (later KNBC, and still later KNBR), and soon became the flagship station for the National Broadcasting Company (NBC)'s new western radio network. It is currently owned by Cumulus Media and now broadcasts a sports format. It sits next to the former KGEI site.

@shauna i love how in the time between posts this went from she is watching to we are watching

The whole thing is clearly a critique of modern capitalism, but there is this underlying libertarian bent to it that I expect will get worse, and a lot of contrived excuses for the "correct" course of action to be hurting innocent people.

This could be read as a pretty leftist take on capitalist exploitation, but it is a hop and a skip from rugged individualism. (which the book has, so far, explicitly acted against.)

I'm curious about how it will continue to evolve.

Rodenstock 50mm/4.0 HR Digaron-W lens (@ f/6.3), Phase One IQ4-150 digital back, Cambo 1250 camera (vertically shifted -23mm).

This simple photo pushed the 50mm lens to the limits of its image circle with the large shift required to keep the tall antenna mast fully in the frame while maintaining its geometry. Hard vignetting of the upper corners was visible in the full sensor image, but fortunately the composition benefited from a narrower aspect ratio that stayed within the image circle.

@menelion
Putting aside the political questions, I'm interested to learn that many blind users moved from Twitter to the Fediverse. Have they mostly stayed around? Is the Fediverse getting better or worse for them?

@gemlog @DLink

@refactoredd Yeah two friends played our campaign on Switch 2 and had a great time with it

@PhoenixSerenity LOL. Asher is so cute. He really doesn’t look amused though.

We hope these fingerprinting test results are useful to everyone looking to switch to a browser that respects and protects their privacy. We also hope they are galvanizing to any browser engineering team working to improve their browser's privacy.

We'll keep testing over time! ✅❌

Pobre el treballador de TV3 quan Salvador Illa vegi que s’ha colat en la captura d’un tuit seu una resposta no massa a favor d’ell. 😂

There were various slides about sexual response cycles and now we're watching a video of a talk about taking the shame and stigma out of sex

I have been called on to write a "Partial Free" function for previously allocated virtual memory. EG, someone allocated a large block of memory with mmap(), and now they want to free a section *out of the middle or end* of it.

My reading of the POSIX munmap doc https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/7908799/xsh/munmap.html is that munmap does this already, because it deallocates "pages" not previous allocations, and I only need to call munmap() with the requested-deallocated range (assuming the range to be page-aligned)

Correct?
