@ryanc @endrift @antlers @swheritage oh actually I ended up reading the UK’s version of the GDPR and it sounds _powerful_
@ryanc @endrift @antlers @swheritage and yeah they now have my birthdate and birthplace and a scan of my ID, all for nothing it seems
@ryanc @endrift @antlers @swheritage good luck! They have never replied to my takedown notice but I bet if you’re in the EU you’ll have a better shot
@Gadora I'm not intending to be a power user either. The design of Mastodon makes me tired. But I do need to be able to follow people
So I'll check out kind.social, thanks for the recommendation
@antlers @swheritage If the goal is to engineer a complex solution that meets all of SWH's goals while respecting trans people, it turns out it's even more complex than this. I haven't gotten there in the story yet
But it would require them to work with trans people to develop the solution, which they won't.
More relevantly, by now, they also won't consider easier solutions that work against their goals, such as taking down their archive of ftfy.
The Software Heritage Archive (@swheritage) wants to deadname me forever.
Part 1 of 3-ish.

@nexvie I was recognizing that the scale being described is the blues scale
@hikari oh I think I know some people who have been using these updates. was there a release candidate that went out maybe a century ago?
@piegames I don’t want to be defined by tech
I'd like to find a new instance. This one's been kinda okay except it's old. so the software is out of date, and also old instances with too many trans people on them get put on blocklists and never taken off
I want to find a large, queer, well-connected, well-moderated instance. Do those exist? Any recommendations? If they charge some money to pay moderators that's okay.
@BestGirlGrace it's in a different direction, but I feel like the fact that his last album _before_ this was a classical piano album is basically this

BREAKING: Politico reports that Senator Cantwell says she will delay hotlining the Kids Online Safety Act (#KOSA) because of ongoing concerns around LGBTQ rights and the need for further changes.
This is an important win for human rights. But we have so much more to do

Two assertions:
1. There are serious challenges for marginalized groups on the fediverse, including for the groups that are relatively overrepresented here compared to other spaces.
2. We are not going to solve those problems even transiently through "better blocklists."
There are a variety of solutions that we can talk over. I've talked about quite a few of them, as have others, but the quest to "build a better blocklist" is at best a distraction and at worst actively harmful to solving this

@BestGirlGrace I'll put it on the wishlist of places to visit! I'm in the Raleigh area where there is a good amount of pinball but almost no preservation of old machines. almost every playable machine is from the last 6 years
@BestGirlGrace when I was getting interested in 70s pinball I was at a place that had the playfield on display and I was sad I couldn't play it
then later, I learned that looking at the playfield is much more interesting than actually playing the game of Can You Hit The Center Lane 8 Times
@BestGirlGrace I don't even know whether you mean the 1979 machine or the 2015 one, but you're absolutely right either way
