Yes. The process has three steps: First, you update the receiving profile to "allow" the move by pointing at each other using the as:alsoKnownAs relationship. This allows everybody to confirm that the receiving account is participating in the move, and authorizes it. Then, you update your old account with the "movedTo" property, so that any new users who look up your account will see a notification that you've moved. Finally, you send out a Move activity to all of your followers, pointing at the new account. Automatically, all of your old followers who receive the Move activity will send Follow activities to the new "receiving" profile.

This process doesn't update any of the old content from your account, which was regarded at the time as a necessary simplification because of the issues of updating canonical URIs for accounts on one system to accounts on another system (different software might have different expected routes, you might need to store lookup tables, etc etc. It just opens up a huge can of worms). In practice this doesn't really matter that much since Mastodon is used primarily for microblogging and less for, well, actual blogging. If you were designing a more fully-featured social blogging platform like a Medium or Tumblr equivalent you'd probably want to put some more thought into that side of things.
How many of those chronic homeless would have only been temporarily homeless if they had the security of housing early on before their situation went even further downhill?

Sometimes mental issues are purely genetic but often they can also arise from or be exacerbated by trauma. And homelessness sure is traumatic.
Work in a kitchen: Maybe. Actually do a good job, walking in off the street? Nope. There are dozens of things you need to know and be able to do to work well in a kitchen—and those things change depending on what kind of kitchen it is, but one of them that doesn't change is clear, fast, in-person communication, including doing what you're told instantly. A software developer going into a kitchen job and thinking they're hot shit because they're coming from a "skilled job" and this is an "unskilled job" is going to get themselves or someone else badly injured very quickly.

Clean a house: Yeah, probably. Clean houses well enough to be paid for it: Probably not. Clean houses, well enough to be paid for it, 40 hours a week, for years: Very unlikely. That takes not just the skills to actually get each house professionally clean, but the mindset to be able to handle that sort of work for long periods.

Work construction: Almost certainly not. While not all construction requires heavy lifting, most does, and most software developers are not in good enough physical shape to do that on a regular basis without doing serious damage to their bodies. Not to mention the care and precision required to build things that will both look good and last.

Because "be able to do this job" doesn't just mean "has the basic understanding of how the mechanics of it work." It means understanding the details and nuances, being willing as well as able to do it for long periods of time, and being able to do it to a professional standard, not just "good enough for me".
> The problem is that no one knows exactly how we call to mind, and with such ease, that party last weekend, with all the samba dancing and clinking of ice in glasses, the scent of circulating hors d’oeuvres, the jolt up the spine from catching a lover’s eye across a crowded room.

Fuck, if my weekends were ever—literally ever—that exciting I'd probably be able to remember them instead of being like "uh... I may have done something dull but at least a little out-of-the-ordinary last weekend? Maybe that was last month? I dunno."

This narrows the choice to something that can compile to WASM and has bindings for WebGL/OpenGL. Rust has substantial support for these technologies, there's an active graphics community, and, personally, it felt approachable for someone without experience with C/C++.

The problem isn't with language; that is how a Dialectic thinks.
What you do and think is exclusively dictated by the input of information going into your brain coming from perception encoded as electrons and ions flowing through the atoms consisting of your neurons. If someone had a printout of the small sub-manifold of spacetime that is you they could read out everything you ever thought and did and it would all make sense (meaning, follow from Schrodinger’s equation). You have no choice and you cannot defy physics. Even if you run into the street, it was so decreed, because you were deterministically ordained to be contemplating free will and attempt to violate it with a “random” action, which in conjunction with the random seed you have chosen (the current state of your neural ion flows) led you to deterministically run into the street. With, as always, a perfect causal pathway and explanation — no matter how free and random it seems. What you do next, always, is decided exclusively by what in the universe happened just before, and no other auxiliary or theological inputs.
> Here he goes after the "interventionistas" (foreign policy theorists with no "skin in the game,") who have repeatedly urged us to intervene in foreign countries -- Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria -- whose governments did not meet the interventionistas abstract standards for political acceptability.

That's being extremely generous in taking the interventionistas at their word, that they are not driven by ulterior motives. Or acting as useful idiots for others with ulterior motives.
> What I realized I had no idea how to convey was how important television was to the whole experience (9/11).

What really struck me was the kind of reporting. Where I live (or, in Europe in general) – and I'm not under the impression that it had been that different in the US – there was some kind of agreement of handling severe incidents respectfully. You would show any footage a couple of times, but then everybody would know and further repetitions were rather considered as some kind of cruel pornography. But here, watching CNN and similar outlets, the planes kept crashing and crashing, and the buildings kept collapsing and collapsing, over and over, exposing the moments that meant death for thousands mercilessly on the screens. It was the beginning of a new era in mass media. And I guess, this may be hard to convey to anyone who wasn't there to experience this.

Because this is end-to-end encryption, what's transmitted is only arguably "the message", we can't - and there is every reason to think never will be able to - decrypt it without the symmetric key and only the sender and recipient have the key.

So from an information theoretic point of view, arguably no, the message was never stored anywhere else, even though Signal is indeed a store-and-retrieve arrangement. The encrypted message was stored briefly by Signal, but only its sender and intended recipient could decrypt it.

The keys are ephemeral, so if you have exactly bit-for-bit copies of encrypted Signal messages I sent when I was arranging to play Red Dead Redemption 2 with friends, nobody knows how to decrypt those. I can't decrypt them, the people who received them can't decrypt it, even though we saw them at the time, and even though you have the encrypted messages and even if you have our phones, the keys are gone so that's that.

It is never late! Just try. Failure is not trying.

Btw no sure if that is your case, but this remembers me of the story:

One guy was in a train visibly uncomfortable. At every stop, he was totally annoyed, and each stop worst. Other guy ask him why is he in such discomfort. “You see, I bought the ticket wrong, I’m going in the wrong direction. At each stop I think of stepping out, but that would mean losing the ticket completely!”

If you are doing something not fulfilling, doesn’t matter how much you have invested. Stop and take the right direction.

For useNotionCMS.com, it’s a little different. It’s an api product. I give the users an api. People send their Notion page link in the api, they will then get all the data related to that page, including the html version of that Notion page.

People can either use that html and render it themselves or I can do it, and give it to them as an iframe. Depends on their use case, people go with either Iframe or manual rendering with code.
Until they figure out how to get reinforcement into it, it would not be able to produce any parts of the structure that are in tension, such as non-vaulted ceilings.

Fundamentally I've always been uncomfortable with the fact that Fediverse nodes aren't interchangeable in some critical ways - that your identity is tied to a single node, not the aggregate whole. This highlights why.

Having nodes control moderation and the like on traffic that originates in and flows through their node makes sense. Having your identity tied to a node has always seemed wrong to me.

> The notion of ‘truth’ belongs to the conceptual framework of knowledge

Or, as I believe the OP is trying to point out, truth is what is. Just because people used to believe that maggots spontaneously generated doesn't mean it was true. The knowledge was false because the reality did not behave in accordance with the supposed knowledge.

> you realize that the objective, material world as such does not have to contain true or false statements about itself.

It does though. Gravity is stable on earth for the foreseeable future. Therefore, if I jump off a cliff, I will fall. This is true. It doesn't matter what flawed knowledge I gather that says otherwise, that would conflict with the reality. Reality is truth. The material world consists of truth simply by existing, and falsehoods arise when people try to conform reality to an idea that is wrong.

I regret not having more emotional maturity at an earlier age.

What a lot of people don't know about ADHD is that with it comes a likelihood of a delay in emotional maturity that leads to behavior that's not age appropriate. When looking back at my life, I can identify several times where I was behaving in a way that might have been expected of a child a few years younger than I was but wasn't appropriate for my actual age at the time. This effectively meant losing out on social opportunities, friendships, and romantic relationships. Most of my problems in life stem from this issue.

A mild example of said behavior is a time where I threw a fit in front of my girlfriend because my parents asked me to take out the garbage for them. I was living with my parents at the time and really didn't have many chores, so asking me to take out the garbage wasn't a big ask. But at the time I felt like they shouldn't have been wasting my time with that while I had my girlfriend over. Kids sometimes act out, yes, but I was 18 years old. That's even idiotic behavior for a 16 or 17 year old.

More extreme examples are the times I made inappropriate jokes or spoke my mind out loud without considering why other people wouldn't appreciate hearing them. I was also very judgmental when I was younger and for some reason thought the world ought to hear how judgmental I was, and I ended up losing some friends and romantic interests over that attitude.

It's possible there was nothing I could have done about it, so I struggle to actually regret it. What might have helped me was having an older brother or adult who could identify my behavior pattern, rather than dismiss it, and get me knock it off.
1. Deposit to Tornado Cash using a script

2. Wait a year

3. Withdraw in batches (not all at once)

4. Move to Dubai

5. Find some sketchy guys who charge ~20-30% to go crypto -> wire transfer and don’t care about source of funds

6. Work with those guys to come up with documentation to placate compliance officers

This may not work forever because Dubai is probably going to have a big crackdown due to getting put on the FATF greylist. This also works in some Eastern European countries.
Eh, given the age of the hardware, there are worse ways to distribute an emulator that you want to work on multiple different architectures and operating systems. And if you compile the intensive stuff down to WASM, is probably even easier to justify.
No analysis needed. Telegram holds the keys to decrypt the messages and that's all you need to know.

It's why you are able to just login to your Telegram account on another device and magically get all of your message history.

So while the tech might be solid, the keys are still out there. They can be leaked. They can be subpoenaed, etc.
That wouldn't help at all unless it was the default.

I think modern society is in the bad attractor field of the left-hemisphere mode of thought (as opposed to the right-hemisphere attractor field.) You see a fragmented reality unaffected by evidence, fragments out of context becoming menacing and leading to paranoia, people operating in self-contained virtual worlds based on axioms simplified to the point of falsity, positive feedback loops where exposure makes you want more, rather than negative feedback loops where you get satiated.

Exactly. I use mastodon daily, I follow tons of people that do as well. Mastodon doesnt need to be massive or fulfill whatever growth expectations armchair tech entrepeneurs expect of social media platforms here. It just has to be reasonably easy to maintain and actually play an important role in people's lives and it is absolutely doing that.

Also, I put content warnings when I blab on about some tech thing because not everyone is a techy there. I am friends with lots of people there who will roll their eyes and walk away if you start blowing their timeline up with that kind of topic and you arent conscientious. It isn't just techies all hanging out with no reason to be there other then the tech novelty of it, it is a lot of peoples' home.

> Let's talk once twitter shuts down. Because it will.

Bingo. I say this all the time, Twitter is not immune from being a member of this list (Defunct social networking sites, wikipedia):

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_defunct_social_network...

The Fediverse (or Federated Social Web as it was previously referred to in 2007[0] or so when it was first envisioned) will never close. Single installations may, but the network as a whole can not.

Mastodon will probably die first because it's just a software but that's not a problem: ActivityPub, the protocol, and the Fediverse, the network, will most certainly outlast Twitter. Unless Twitter chooses to get compatible with the Fediverse.

A protocol can't die. People are still using IRC, XMPP, good ol' email, decades after they were created. They are still useful, they still work, so there is no reason for them to "die"

The statement “free will does not exist” does not imply the world isn’t Minecraft. It is. Arbitrary actions allowed by physics are indeed allowed. The problem is unpacking that you can do what you want. It is the act and nature of wanting that is also fully constrained by physics. There is no “you” and no “want,” no notion of choice that isn’t simply isomorphic to doing the basic math of quantum mechanics and molecular biology… you are “merely” math executing in time and space, and you are and shall never be nothing more.

An anecdote: my mother dropped out of law school when she was younger. She finally went back to law school in her 50's, graduated, and is now a practicing lawyer in a field she is passionate about.

Being that close to other people sucks, and so do housing associations.
