We all knew about this trend, but I didn't realise it was nearly so extreme as this:
"Before 2000, for instance, only about 25% of top-grossing movies were prequels, sequels, spinoffs, etc. Now it’s 75%."

I created my Mastodon account 3 years ago today, and it has been the best online experience I've ever had.
I have a bunch of real friends here, a community of lovers of animals, of nature, of art, music, and literature. Of the possibilities of tech. Of food, gardening, travel, and cars. Of fellow LGBTQ folks. And of protecting democracy.
Thank you all. Special shout-out to @stux , who tirelessly keeps mstdn.social safe, spam-and-troll-free, and welcoming.
Weird small Mastodon forever!

Timely. I think it would be a nice touch, to start using horns if people have the time for it.
The Horn-cry of Buckland, also called the Horn-call of Buckland, was used by the Bucklanders in times of danger. The words were recorded as "Awake! Fear! Fire! Foes! Awake!"
I have a vuvuzela kept stored away like an old pistol from a war in case a Protest needs such a foul weapon....
I love the idea, though if something like this horn call of Buckland, being used throughout neighborhoods in the US everywhere.

In questo periodo riesco a leggere con interesse quasi esclusivamente gialli.
Sarà perché la vicenda, se costruita bene, rimane comunque appassionante per cui, nonostante le mille distrazioni sempre in agguato, si fa seguire col desiderio di arrivare alla soluzione.
E Agatha Christie le vicende le costruiva davvero benissimo.

International Criminal Court to ditch Microsoft Office for European open source alternative
cross-posted from: lemmy.ml/post/38271574
The International Criminal Court (ICC) will switch its internal work environment away from Microsoft Office to Open Desk, a European open source alternative, the institution confirmed to Euractiv.German newspaper Handelsblatt first reported on the plans. The switch comes amid rising concerns about public bodies being reliant on US tech companies to run their services, which have stepped up sharply since the start of US President Donald Trump’s second administration.
For the ICC, such concerns are not abstract: Trump has repeatedly lashed out at the court and slapped sanctions on its chief prosecutor, Karim Khan.

I’ve not kept up with the latest Mastodon developments, but does anyone know if this sort of feature is planned?
I get that it’s extra complicated with the federated nature, but it feels like something that the major fediverse platforms could agree on a technical implementation of even if yes, technically clients could just choose to show “unapproved” or “hidden” replies.

GoToSocial has a spec that can be found here: docs.gotosocial.org/en/stable/… Mastodon's quote posting permissions already use it, as will its starter packs.

@vicgrinberg After quote posts are done we'll work on that.Eugen Rochko (Mastodon)
There has been talk of tackling it after quote posts.
The quote post implementation included a way for a post to include proof that it has permission to include a quote, and for other servers to check if that permission is still valid.
Implementing reply restrictions is fairly similar: you want a way to advertise a reply policy for other servers to enforce, and to determine if reply messages federated from other servers comply with that policy.
