Page count of HPMOR in your version?
There is a book-style PDF (which is also used for people who wanted to print it, as I did). There, you can see the whole PDF is 2005 pages long, although the last numbered page is 1984.

How well would Harry James Potter-Evans-Verres (HPMOR) do in the Otherverse?
The fantastic art posted yesterday made me remember back and think about Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality again after all these years, and then made me think: How well would Harry James Potter-Evan-Verres would do in the Otherverse? What if instead of being introduced the Wizarding World, he Awakened into the world of Others and Practitioners?

Fics in which Harry being a horcrux is relevant?
Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality. It’s a lot like Seventh Horcrux, with a hilariously OOC Harry.

Comedy Fantasy or Fantasy books with a good sense of humour
Depending on how focussed you are on books (vs, say, fan fiction on the web), I found Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality hilarious in places. It's not to everyone's taste, and you probably need to have appreciated J K Rowling's Harry Potter first, but I do enjoy the scientific approach to magic (hint: sometimes it doesn't work, because its magic) in this.

Alt Text box can't fit one screenshot of text
Interestingly there is some discussion for Mastodon with people asking the limit to be smaller, which raises the question as to the purpose of alt text, and how to properly handle larger text lengths in screen reader programs.

For a decentralized protocol doing things right is much more important than doing things fast, it is very difficult (and in a lot of cases impossible) to break backwards compatibility.

Ask HN: Best practice for posting links to large Mastodon threads?
Postmortem on what happened here: https://news.ycombinator.com/edit?id=39305884
The v1 API of Mastodon limits the size of the tree that it will expand for users who are not logged into the server: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/blob/main/app/controllers/api/v1/statuses_controller.rb . I am guessing that this or some similar limit applies to threads being returned to unauthenticated users of the web UI. It just arbitrarily stops expanding the replies at some point, including the main thread from the OP.
If a thread is truncated, users expect it to expand automatically and autoscroll when you hit the bottom. In my desktop browser, that does not occur, and there is no indication that there is more to see. This is the situation of the web interface as of Mastodon version 4.2.5.
The issue is very sensitive to observer conditions. If you are logged into the server, the behavior is different. If you use a Mastodon app instead of the web, the behavior might be different. As the tree expands, the cutoffs become different. If you look at the thread on a different Mastodon server, the tree is different because every server has its own view of the Fediverse.
HN needs a best practice for linking to Mastodon threads in a way that provides a consistent experience to HN readers. The average Mastodon server would be crushed by hundreds of HN readers grabbing the entirety of a huge thread all at once, so this might involve some thread-unroll-and-cache service. I tried https://mastoreader.io/ but it did not solve the problem.
Alternately, we push changes into the Mastodon web UI to warn users when they need to click to see more and assume that people will get used to the navigation.

Unity's Open-Source Double Standard: The Ban of VLC
>You can defeat the Affero clause by putting the software behind a proxy, for example
Could someone elaborate on this? This is NOT my understanding of the license, and it seems absurd considering e.g. Mastodon is AGPL but the standard install requires a reverse proxy[1]. If using a proxy defeats Affero, why would the Mastodon team do this? Are they stupid?
