since I use a slow laptop, I have ublock origin set to disable scripting by default on any site I haven't unblocked, which is great; it means I can continue using my laptop instead of throwing it away

however, mastodon 4.0 makes this very frustrating; I used to be able to click permalinks and see the content of the post; now I just see an infuriating "please enable scripting" message

while I would love to see this fixed on mastodon, I don't hold a lot of hope for that happening, but maybe I can work around it within ublock origin

any ubo pros know how to configure it so that it can detect that it's talking to a masto server and automatically allow it without me adding every single server hostname to the allowlist manually?

• 5.4 Group Identity As we have emphasized, fan communities tend to be close-knit. This closeness, along with the degree of self-identification with the group, explains why some of the mechanisms we’ve just discussed (e.g., observing others, formalization) have been so effective. Our findings suggest that fandom is an example of how social identity contributes to the strength and speed of norm formation. The strongest social norms tend to be tied to self-identification within a community, forming most rapidly when new members immediately identify strongly with the group [55]. This is even true with respect to influencing or changing behavior. Kraut et al. found that when introducing new technology to a group, social influence for technology adoption is strongest in smaller, primary groups [66]. Norms also tend to be stronger when the group’s value or existence is under threat in some way [55], and outside threats of IP enforcement may be particularly impactful since creative appropriation is this group’s primary community-building activity [90]. In other words, the more these creators associate being a fan with their identity, the easier norms about this important activity–content appropriation–will form. (remote)

Fun little fact I didn't see in any of the Queen obits I read...

• book excerpt: "familiar Email characteristics: a "to" line, a "from" line, and the ability to forward messages to another user. As the ARPANET grew, it began to introduce electronic mail to a wider audience. In 1976, Queen Elizabeth II christened the ARPANET's first node in Great Britain by sending an Email on the network. (Her username: HME2.) In 1978 an overeager computer-company marketer won the dubious honor of sending the first piece of commercial spam, blanketing ARPANET users' Email inboxes with a note promoting a new model.

How common is it for open-source contributors to allow edits to their PR by project maintainers? I think that matches my mental model of how contribution _should_ work, but it seems like Github does not push you in that direction
