„Angry at the tech CEOs who have benefited from the scientific research that has enabled their technology empires, but have mounted no opposition to the cuts. People like Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos are conspicuously silent. We should call them out,”
“A human lifetime is very limited in time and space, compared to the universe.” In a way, it is humbling, but it’s also a relief to know that there’s a larger structure of which we’re a part that is so grand. Our imperfections, our struggles, our travails, when you put them in perspective, they somehow don’t seem so traumatic.”
We’re all emotional animals. And when there’s a crisis—when there’s no time to study the situation for weeks—we have to decide **now**. We react through our understanding and experiences. So yes, that means we’re all idiots, vulnerable to corruption.
That’s why we created **scientific methods**: to overcome the unchangeable parts of our inner selves.
A person who can clearly see and admit they’re corrupted, selfish, and greedy? They can still create techniques to control themselves. When a person clearly sees that they **can’t change anything**, that’s the first step.
I think the most horrible things—what’s happened and what will happen—come from this sickness in our minds. **And it is unchangeable.**
Environment Scientist(Student), I like positivity news, fitness, Olympic lifting, Linux, Fediverse, art, music, books, science, universe, activism.
Science is not media. I try to avoid, and I am not interested in Media politics, Media religion, media marketing, media economics and trades of those medians.

As meditating- listening to myself (Krishnamurti).
Memento mori — “Remember that you must die.”
Memento amoris — “Remember love.”
We are concerned with observing the actual facts, the ‘what is’. To observe ‘what is’ very clearly and to see the full significance of those facts, we must look at it without our conditioning. That is where the difficulty is going to lie, because you have opinions, you have values, you approach them as a Hindu, Buddhist, Christian, or what you will, with your nationality, with your peculiar idiosyncrasies, and these prevent you from observing, from looking. Observation is an art. It is not easily learnt. One has observed neither the sunset nor the stars, neither the trees nor the facts, outwardly or inwardly. So, if we are going to travel together – and I hope we will – we have to observe scientifically, ruthlessly and with great intelligence.
From Collected Works, Vol. 14 (krishnamurti)
“The intuitive mind is a sacred gift, and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift.” — Albert Einstein

Excellent idea!

I think the authentication token is also necessary for mastodon instances that have authorized fetch enabled, because the point of that is to ensure randos don't just get to have info without the server being sure said rando isn't trying to block evade or whatever, but not 100% sure.

Ce serait génial d'arriver jusque là !

in reply to David Revoy • • •It's nice to see another implementation of blog comments using the Mastodon "context" API. 😀 I use it for fietkau.blog in a similar way. I additionally filter the replies by visibility and only show the ones set to "public".
If you'd like to read more about how to render custom emoji and other details, I recommend @cassidy's blog post about his implementation: cassidyjames.com/blog/fedivers…

in reply to YoYunix • • •@yoyunix Thanks. To be fair, I doubt it will last long. Accidents of instance can happen, losing all comments, or the service might also go sunset and be replaced by a new tech more lightweight in the future. Maybe the API will change too with the new versions, up to a point it's too hard to follow for my low skill.
Right now my system on the blog has a cache of 1h for the post of the week, 4h for the post of the month, and 12h after that. Let see in 5 years if If Mastodon IDs are stable 😉

in reply to maxmoon 🌱 • • •@utopify_org Hey, Good question. I thought a lot about this. It's because of five good reasons:
1. Bandwidth (with many visitors, hot-linking them to all instance all the time is pretty heavy)
2. Privacy. Hotlinking them would give also log to instance owners of who connect to my website.
3. Loading speed: waiting for all servers to get pictures.
4. Copyright, and/or trolling possibly with p0rn or gore.
5. Aesthetic: I love the cat avatars peppercarrot.com/extras/html/2… 🙂

Given you said spam was a problem with the previous commenting system, does this mean you consider Mastodon to be reasonably free from spam?
I sort of live in fear that Mastodon might suffer an influx of bots. Especially given it's decentralised, so presumably any instance could contribute unless your instance admin defederates from them.
David Revoy
in reply to Ollie • • •I received insult, p0rn, spam, but very rarely, and it was removed after a simple click on the three dots and reporting them. Actually, I wish this post will attract one or two post of this type. I'm curious if the API would list the message if I block an account.

Unknown parent • • •@raghukamath Hey, yes. The listing on the blog is just a copy of the Mastodon API, so every edit or removal should be reflected on the blog as soon as the blog updates.
The only thing to keep is a cache of maximum 24h so it is always removing or applying the edit into the due 24h legal date.
I'm planning to add soon an 'emergency refresh' button (just an action that force a cache update for the current article. It might be convenient in case of a very nasty comment. 😺

in reply to David Revoy • • •aren't the old comments re-federated? There might be a chance you can still get them back. Except those made by people in the instance that had the problem, I would guess the others should federate again.
Or maybe there is an issue with that as the initial post you made is lost? (So all comments along with it have no real reference).
David Revoy
Unknown parent • • •I'll try to update a tiny bit the display part of the code this afternoon/evening (on the same page) : I had feedback on how to improve security and also I found aesthetic improvements for situations I met on the way (eg. differentiate video/image/other in attachment, or removing direct/private message from the listing with the token).
