NAS aktualisieren: Kritische Sicherheitslücke in QTS und QuTS hero von QNAP https://www.computerbase.de/2023-01/nas-aktualisieren-kritische-sicherheitsluecke-in-qts-und-quts-hero-von-qnap/ #QNAP #vulnerable #QTS
We remember asking for #QT on fedi, not in so few letters, but we did ask.
Someone explanted that fedi was different. People found #QTs to be abusive on the #dotcons. We thought about that and basically instantly realised that our past #behaviour may have been less civil.
We adjusted.
I do not believe in yeilding to them (and many bots) who have descended upon Fedi, and specifically it seems, #Mastodon servers, in the past couple months.
They should learn like we did.

Last week's Name This Movie was Dead Ringers, a 1988 David Cronenberg film starring Jeremy Irons (playing both of identical twin gynecologists) & Geneviève Bujold. Wikipedia says this is a "psychological thriller"; I think it's the creepiest movie I've ever seen. Were I female, I'd think it would be even scarier.

FWIW, this is a place where I used to use #QTs of myself.
There is no policy decision or feature rollout where #Mastodon doesn't put big instance admins over everything else.
Literally, from #QTs to #MastodonSearch to broken threads to moderation to VC decisions.
Tune out nonsense rationalisations, and you'll see the raw power game.

@Gargron It'd be helpful to clarify what "QT" means here.
Twitter #QTs work more as a kind of "alt-reply" function, more "branching off a conversation" than simply linking to a post, with 3 essential attributes:
1. The other post is displayed as if it's a seamless part of ones own
2. The other person is notified just as with a reply or @-mention
3. QTs are listed under "x Quoted Posts" under the original post
When one says "I want QTs", is this what one means? Would anything less be enough?
At this point I'm resigned to some sort of #QTs happening as poor Eugen is being harangued about it to the exclusion of everything else.
So many replies here are the same old circular arguments along the lines of "well *I* never got dunked on or dogpiled so I see only positives, end of discussion". There's nothing new being said and few minds being changed.
I only hope it isn't implemented as a seamless UI feature to the same degree as on Birdsite.

Lots of airtime is still being given to the #QTs question, but at least there's a workaround there (screenshot+link+@-mention). Instead, I hope there'll be more discussion of the need for a working #search feature.
…And no, I don't mean the fact that it's hashtags-only! I can entirely understand the rationale behind that design decision. Rather, the fact that at the moment even searching for hashtags is hard and frustrating. #MastoDev

Another interesting take on #QTs.
I disagree with the proposition that screenshotting posts is a bad practice and inferior to #quotetweets. After all, if we want to critique/highlight passages from any other webpage, the screenshot is our primary tool.
So, I suppose, why should toots be any different? Why do we accept that newspaper columns can and should be critiqued with screenshots without automatically notifying the authors but not Mastodon posts?

I wrote about something getting lost in discussions about a #QuoteToot feature on here:
They're just links.
You can already link to a toot. Let's be specific about how we want links to work better and have better previews.

journalists love #QuoteTweets because it allows them to piggyback on others' reporting with their own self-effusing morsels to amplify their own assume clout.
think about when peter alexander allowed an "anonymous secret service source" to refute #CassidyHutchinson's story about the tantrum #Trump threw in the beast and how many "journalists" completely amplified it with #QTs containing nothing but "👀" emojis or stupider -- but supportive -- stuff like "Hutchinson's testimony called into doubt".
Think about how little traction stuff like that would have gotten without Quote Tweets. Journalists (with hundreds of thousands of followers of their own) would never just hit "reply" to a "scoop"; they have to promote themselves to show they too are worthwhile "reporters" who keep up with the latest breaking bullshit.

Oh you know WHO I am talking about, let's not play the 'WHAT' game 🤭
Cause for 'what' I am talking about, you've seen the #QTs discussion. Dudebros get increasingly defensive, until they break down crying 'he will never let this happen, please have mercy on me'.
Was it Evan who said 'just let man child have his way for once'.
Quit playing with me, or I'll pull Chromium beautiful contribution stats, you'll cry about those 700 devs.
