"Support for verifying remote quotes according to FEP-044f and displaying them in the Web UI has been implemented.
Quoting other people is not implemented yet, and it is currently not possible to mark your own posts as allowing quotes. However, a new “Who can quote” setting has been added to the “Posting defaults” section of the user settings. This setting allows you to set a default that will be used for new posts made on Mastodon 4.5 and newer, when quote posts will be fully implemented."

The image displays a weather widget with a light blue background and rounded corners. In the top left corner, the number "12" is shown, indicating the date, followed by "Sat" for Saturday. The weather icon features a cloud with raindrops and a partially visible sun, suggesting partly cloudy conditions with rain. The temperature is displayed as "27°" for the current temperature and "20°" for the low temperature. The overall design is simple and modern, with a clean layout.

The video features a person in a domestic setting, likely a living room, with a ceiling fan visible in the background. The individual is wearing a dark-colored t-shirt and appears to be in motion, possibly reacting to something. The person's hair is being tossed around, suggesting a sudden movement or action. The lighting is bright, typical of indoor environments.
At the top of the video, there is text overlaid that reads: "corporations aren't your friend" mfs the second Steam gives them a refund (they're required to by Australian law). This text is in a bold, white font, making it stand out against the background.
The video captures a moment of reaction, possibly in response to the text's content, which discusses corporate behavior and legal requirements regarding refunds. The person's body language and the motion of their hair suggest a strong emotional response to the situation described in the text.

According to Paul Warburg, the new shift in warfare to drones will redefine what it is to be militarily dominant in the world & #geopolitics for the next century.
With the shift from heavy & expensive equipment to cheap disposable units with data & software, the relative power of the big industrial countries stands to diminish.
I think this is another reason USA doesn’t want #Ukraine to win. With their drones, Ukraine stands to become a major player in global #armstrade, rivalling USA 🤔

The ONLY way we are going to fight this now is to back our arguments up with links to legal texts etc, That way should any authority try and silence us, we simply quote legally binding international conventions.
It will also help any defence lawyers with our cases.
If people can't get on the streets to protest, we can fight in the Hague, there are enough of us, more than enough evidence and multiple bodies arguing what is going on is Genocide.
We can no longer use the Self defense argument, too many people have died.
If you mugged me in the street, I would not be permitted to come round your house, massacre you WHOLE family, blow your house up and argue this is self defence, even an argument of proportionate would NOT work in a court of law.
I think under Islamic shiria law , ther IS eye for an eye, from my understanding and reading about application the punishment fits the crime, e.g you break someones leg, the court orders your leg to be broken. (hence the name)
I am NOT lawyer.

in reply to Roni Rolle Laukkarinen • • •I still wonder how they're doing it.
Because with how the apps do it now, you just need to link to another Fediverse post for it to look like a quote post.
If they do the same thing, I surely hope they don't limit someone from linking to another Fediverse post. That would be....not great.😳
Threads does this exact thing and it's infuriating. There's some misinformation that you can't even discuss because the person limited quote posts and replies.🤦♂️
Roni Rolle Laukkarinen
in reply to BeAware • • •@BeAware I remember reading extensively about this but can't find the ticket/PR right now.
I've already seen this implementation on beta servers or from Misskey. It shows your post and the quote under it, if no permission is given it just shows "the user approval pending" or something like that. I suppose in the final design the quote repost feature is not even available if you have no permission to quote.
I'm sure it won't be via link-only and it is not via link on Threads either (although that works too). In Threads UI you click "Repost" which reposts it directly (like it is now on Mastodon) and Quote which creates a new post with a quote.
So I guess it's like the hashtag feature is now, when you click a hashtag, you get options. Similar would work with repost-icon.
BeAware
in reply to Roni Rolle Laukkarinen • • •yeah, but I'm referring to if I want to link to a post instead of using the actual button.
On threads if you link to a post, it automatically becomes a quote post. You cannot link to posts on threads that have limited quote posts.
So from what I understand from your explanation, it would show the link along with a note saying "user approval pending" or something similar? Cause that would be preferable. It's not possible on threads at all, unless there's a trick that I'm unaware of.🤔
Roni Rolle Laukkarinen
in reply to BeAware • • •@BeAware Ah, I do not know details to that.
Yeah, Threads do not have permission control for quotes. You can quote anyone there.
BeAware
in reply to Roni Rolle Laukkarinen • • •no, there IS quote permissions on threads. The issue lies in the fact that quoting = linking. Don't have permission to quote? Don't have permission to link.
We'll have to see how Mastodon does it when 4.5 comes out.🤷♂️
