switching.social admin went swinging at brave, made several assertions about Brendan Eich and basically made an ass of himself to the point that Brave folks observed that he was actively libeling them.
C++11 is really an entirely different language by comparison to previous C++ versions. C++20 builds on top of the momentum with C++11 and really brings some amazing stuff.
i agree that C++03 and earlier were trash, but modern C++ is really worth using.
this is also why Pleroma FE does not do the firehose effect by default. you simply cannot do firehose and not have it confuse the fuck out of screen readers. this is also why Twitter stepped back from doing firehose too.
the reality is that blind people on the fediverse use Tusky or Amaroq because both of those apps play nice with screen readers. the web client is entirely unusable.
i'm quite serious by the way, if mastodon folks want to bully people for not using alt text while mastodon web client fails to work with JAWS in any usable way, i'm just going to rip out alt text support.
@charlag I’m still annoyed that Mastodon hijacked the name field in Document objects for the description instead of using description (which is also in the vocabulary)
1. the actual contents of the post were not directly verified, but instead inferred from the text content and attachment names of the post.
2. the person in question says the content in the file was not CP.
3. the post in question was deleted by the admin, so it is no longer accessible.
given that nobody involved actually verified the contents of the attachment, and the post in question is now deleted, i cannot say for certain that it was or was not CP.
accordingly, in the absence of any evidence to confirm that it was CP, i am personally willing to accept the explanation of the person in question, that it was a shitpost, that the attachment was *not* CP or any other illegal material, and that the whole thing has gotten completely blown out of proportion.
i apologize to the person in question for fanning the flames in regard to that incident. they deserve better than that.
i also apologize to the admin of the instance in question.
it was reported to me as CP by trusted individuals, and that the filename indicated it may legitimately be CP.
I will admit that I did not personally verify the physical contents of the image in question.
and besides, my point had nothing to do with you, but rather that people on instances where incidents like that happen (either real or fake) should check themselves before complaining about being banned from other instances.
further, admins will certainly go by the filename provided in the description, as we do not want to even risk exposure to that shit. exposure means potential jail time.
so, no, I don't know if you actually uploaded CP or not. I do know you uploaded files that were descriptive of CP in the filename.
i suggest avoiding uploading such files in the future if you do not want to be perceived as having uploaded CP.
anyway, if anyone wants a free pleroma instance, hit me up. the only catch is that you're a beta tester and so you don't get to complain if i rebake your container randomly.
