Question for protocol/fediverse/API enthusiasts:

Some claim mastodon is safer from rug-pulls than bluesky—it would be harder for some future bad actor to force everyone onto some engagement-optimizing algorithm.

If that's true (is it?), to what degree is that safety technological vs. legal/social?

(All I can find is kooky conspiracy theories and high-handed rebuttals that don't really engage with the evidence.)

Did anyone actually read the FDA's decision revoking red #3?

It's reasonable, but very much an "abundance of caution" thing. The evidence is one paper from 1987 that found more thyroid cancer in male (only) rats when FOUR PERCENT OF THEIR ENTIRE DIET was red #3. Relaaaaaax.

i don't think i've ever agreed more strongly with the normies than this: i thought megalopolis was incoherent and incomprehensible and, as a film, pretty bad.

(i do respect that it really tried to do something.)

Notes on trying to use AI to make a little calculator for a post:

• It got 90% of the way there, then got confused.

• Took me forever to do the last 10%

• Unsure how much time I saved.

• There's a huge motivational benefit from overcoming the "activation energy" of starting.

I don't know, this just feels off to me.

If a person took your ideas and regurgitated them under their own branding with no credit, that would be rude.

interesting argument—if a rule is broken often enough, maybe it's unreasonable to expect people to follow it (even if you think it's a good rule)
