@mcc I've had good results with ddrescue and external drives.

Is it OK to write code that does new things on the Fediverse?

I don't know if it's a good time to blame the blocker, especially publicly. You don't know what people are going through. If they set a boundary, respect it and move on. It's a big world out there. Lots of other people to talk to.

If someone blocks you, it's a great time for self reflection. Were you in the wrong? Should you reconsider how you treat people?

Or was the person who blocked you too thin-skinned? Was there a conversation you should have had that didn't happen? How can you approach such people in the future differently?

Or did you say the hard thing that needed to be said? Was it worth burning the relationship to deliver some hard truth?

There are very few people who can "unfairly" block you.

Elected representatives, emergency responders, government agencies: their role requires a duty of access to you, no matter how much of a fuckwit you are.

The rest of us have a right, maybe a responsibility, to manage where our attention goes. There are no objective criteria whatsoever in who we choose to follow and who we choose to block. We are the sole arbiters of our attention and there is no court of appeals.

There was also a question of reverse discovery:

I'd be happy to submit FEP 2c59 as an input for the task force:

@trwnh there's going to be a new task force to open up further discussion of Webfinger for ActivityPub, including using unicode usernames, and using bare domain names as usernames. As the co-authors of the previous report on Webfinger, I think we should participate. /cc @jdlh @quillmatiq @thisismissem .

If you found out a friend or family member was cheating, would you tell their partner(s)?

@HennaVirkkunen it's good to see Europe investing in digital sovereignty.

@jon @Vivaldi Thank you for it! It means a lot to the Fediverse to have your support.
