@Ilikecheese It’s necessary for cross-referencing/searchability and it is largely a hack around Mastodon’s flaws yes.
At the protocol level, it should be entirely possible to add the tags directly to the metadata (in fact Mastodon *does that* at the processing step prior to sending along the post) and *not* include them in the post.
Predictably Mastodon doesn’t expose that to its users because fuck the users, I guess.
@ad_on_is The problem you’re hitting is that the #clearnet / #Internet in general weren’t adequately designed to handle malicious #infrastructure operators.
“The 'net interprets censorship as damage and routes around it” was a comment about #Usenet, a #federated / #P2P system with gossiped (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gossip_protocol) message exchange which wasn’t particularly picky about its transport layer (indeed you could load a spool on a floppy and mail it), not the internet.
@nyl Personally, I’d be going *out of my way* to disable information-leaking features like that.
#Proprietary suggestion & AI engine? No thanks.
@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social From the article it seems more of a #Qt win for now (though it does mention patches for many others), but in any case that’s neat.
Now it all just needs sane ways to interface from #CommonLisp.
@Salty @sailor_sega_saturn @TinyTimmyTokyo Right up until the secret gets liberated and one gets buried in concrete for trying to hide it, anyway.
No guarantees of any utopia anyway though.
@sailor_sega_saturn @TinyTimmyTokyo Eh, no guarantee (or any reason to believe really) a simulation would be even focused in any way on humanity (no anthropocentrism needed).
Similarly for superintelligence, few reasons for it to care.
Cryogenics is a better bet and as you say it’s quite unlikely unfortunately.
@OneDimensionPrinter It’s been a thing for a very long while. You just needed to know it’s even a thing and to have software that could do it (on both ends).
ZMODEM could do it, for instance.
