This game has wonderfully taken a hold of all my free time and turned it into a much anticipated part of my life. Especially when I can get friends to play.
No friends tonight though but I just had to check out the new beta and that new moon.
Supposedly there are actually 3 new moons.
Quite a few new things.
Check out this hot article.

2024-04-01 at 2:25 PM UTC in Lanny announces the closure of NISMastodon had some good ideas but it was quickly ruined by power tripping instance owners and the prevalence of universal block lists which will block entire instances and everyone part of them if they are associated with hot button topics, i.e censorship self imposed by communities upon themselves
it's pretty disgustingPLEASE READ BEFORE JOINING:
mastodon.art is a safe space instance. We have strict federation policies that protect our most vulnerable members first and foremost, which means we block any instances that host or platform hate (racism, transphobia, etc.).Blocked instances?
I waited for a while to join Mastodon, but the twitter got way too toxic. I finally joined an instance that seemed nice (mastodon.art) and went through the multi-hour process of trying to find the folks I was following on Tw. It had to be done manually now that Tw blocks APIs.
Well, I realized that many of the people I follow are on the kolektiva.social/ and journa.host instanced, but I am blocked from being able to follow them. I'm not sure whether they've blocked my instance or vice versa. Can anyone advise the best way to follow these folks? Do I need to make yet another account?Looking at mastodon.art, the admins seem to have blocked/muted hundreds of instances, including mastodon.social, mastodon.online, qoto.org, all of which are moderate instances with a clear policy against racism, harassment, etc., I don't see how this is good for artists, who probably need engagement. I think mastodon.art admins are trying to push their agenda by pressuring other instances to adopt stricter restrictions and limit users' freedom, instead of simply protecting their users (which is not achieved by restricting users from interacting with moderated instances).

Nov 10, 2022
Since my post yesterday, loads of you have chimed in with your opinions on what should happen between .art and .social/.online (just to clarify - they are sister-instances that both come under the 'joinmastodon' banner and are owned / managed by Gargron). The responses were almost unanimously in favour of 'silencing'.
One of the concerns I mentioned in my post yesterday was that .social federates with instances that in turn federate with fascist instances.
Today, I was looking at .social's 'about' page (for impressum reasons) and thought, 'Hey, while I'm here, let's look at their block list'. I was looking for one specific instance - mstdn.io - and that instance is NOT on their block list.
We've had mstdn.io blocked for around a year or more, along with our instance 'friends' who share our block values, because they host fascist content. One of their users in particular is a member of Italian neo-fascist group Casa Pound. I know that that user has been reported several times from .art and *must* have been reported from other instances too. That user is still active on mstdn.io as of this week.
And .social/.online federate with that instance.
In light of that, and given the feedback I've received that you would all be happy to have a 'silence' put in place for .social / .online , I'm going to enable that silence.
What does this mean for your interactions with .social/.online?
Anyone you already follow there, you will still follow.
Anyone who follows you, will still follow you.
You will be able to see the public posts of anyone you follow appear in the 'federated' timeline.
You will be able to see *all* posts of someone you follow in your home timeline.
If someone you follow boosts a post from those instances, you will see it in your home timeline, whether you follow them or not.
You will be able to use the 'search' feature to find profiles on .social/.online. The profile contents will be hidden and you can click 'Show profile anyway' to interact with and follow that person.
The above also works in reverse; people on .social and .online can still search for your profiles and follow you.
Hashtag searches will only include results from people you follow on .social/.online (and vice versa).
In order to assuage your fears over reach and discoverability, I want to share insight of my experience of having been on Mastodon since 2016, and having been through several big user influxes over the years.
Most people who start on .social/.online, who align with the kind of values we promote at .art and who are the kind of people who are more likely (generally, not absolutely) to see the value of supporting artists, don't stay on those instances. They move to smaller ones that better fit their interests and moderation values. Silencing these instances from .art might encourage this to happen sooner. Those two instances have always served as a springboard to other instances rather than permanent homes.
A lot of smaller instances already have .social/.online blocked and have had them blocked for a long while.
The fediverse is huge. It is far, far more than just .social and .online. We already have instances blocked that have 200k+ users because they host lolicon/pedophilia, and they're just a drop in the ocean of the total number of users spread across the fediverse.
I am, of course, hoping that maybe by us silencing them, we can initiate some kind of change in the moderation there. What I shared in yesterday's post was just the tip of the iceberg; there is a five year history of .social/.online not listening to its mods and devs and acting in the best interests of the community. Gargron fired his mods in back in *July*. This is a pattern of behaviour that those of us have been here since 2016-2017 are familiar enough with to know that it probably won't change.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

2024-03-29 at 8:13 PM UTC in New SOTA open source foundation model: DBRXNow my view has evolved. Dijkstra said, "whether a computer can think is about as relevant as whether a submarine can swim". A sub definitely can't "swim" like a human swims but in all the things you want a sub to do, it is vastly superhuman, and it's accomplished by completely different means that are better and more scalable. In the same way I think bio inspired analogies are very important but limited. If you want to create truly superhuman machine intelligence, you will have to find ways of accomplishing human like (and beyond) versatility and informational understanding and synthesis skills etc without just recreating a human brain. Cuzehats the point? Humans are already cheap.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire!

2024-03-29 at 5:10 PM UTC in If you're not using Amazon Fresh, you're missing out.Folks the savings I get is kinda incredible. I got 50+ items for 87$. I get everything that's 5-20% off, then I get free shipping on orders over 100$ then I used a coupon for 20$ off any order 100$ or more.
SO like it was 140$, all the discounts brought it to 107$ then the coupon dropped it off to 87$ w/ free delivery. 50+ items. I mean some of the items were like 6 limes, but some of the other shit were really good deals, I stay away from their meats though.
Except their prepared meats which are gonna be shit whereever you go, I got 2 16ounce pepperoni tubes (well 2 packs of 2-8ounce slongs)
5.50, buy one get one free. They had a sale on candy so I got marshmellow peeps & jelly beans so I can put those out for everyone on the table on Sunday morning.
But what the real allure is is that their prices (Without the sales) are lower than they are locally at the store. like 87$ will get u 2 backpacks locally, instead I got 6 1/2 brown paper bags on my door step.
The biggest item I like to get is mixed vegetables, broccoli, cauliflower, they didn't have asparagus spears, all frozen for liek 1-1.40$ per 12 ounce bag. I eat about one bag a day. 50% of the mass of my consumption is frozen vegetablesThe following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

2024-03-27 at 6:26 PM UTC in Happy Birthday Ross Ulbricht! #FREEROSS $SILKROAD $BTC $XMR $SOLWe are sending a clear message of integrity and justice, louder than the slander our oppressors can push into the news.
We are almost there.
In less than thirty days I will be drafting an unprecedented announcement that your resilience made possible: the announcement that Silk Road has repaid all victims of our February hack.
As of today, May 27th 2014, 82.09% of all victims of the Feburary hack have been fully repaid.
In June the world will be reminded that when faced with adversity, Silk Road's community doesn't run. We unite.
Our enemies may seize our servers, impound our coins, and arrest our friends, but they cannot stop you: our people.
You write history with every coin transacted here.
It is unprecedented for any entity, darknet or clearnet, to completely repay the victims of a Bitcoin hack.
We are sending a clear message of integrity and justice, louder than the slander our oppressors can push into the news. History will prove that we are not criminals, we are revolutionaries.
We are slaving to transform a notoriously-violent industry into a safe online marketplace, removing the risk of face-to-face transactions.
We do not steal the People's money like Goldman Sachs, Citigroup, and Morgan Stanley. We bail each other out with our own sweat. We are not puppets of fear or greed. We do not run like the cowards at MtGox, TorMarket, or Sheep. Silk Road is not here to scam, we are here to end economic oppression. Silk Road is not here to promote violence, we are here to end the unjust War on Drugs. Silk Road is not here to submit to authority, we are here to defend a foundational human right: freedom of choice. Silk Road is not a marketplace, Silk Road is a global revolt.
When the news hits that everyone has been repaid, do your part to help tear down the world's misimpressions about what our movement stands for.
Four months of everyone's hard work has almost generated one spark. Throw it into the petrol. Be prepared with your throwaway accounts. Tweet. Upvote. Blog. Email editors.
It is an honor to serve you. DefconThe following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -
