The Commodore Amiga Used To Make Worms Is Back In Service


"The Amiga I made Worms on is all recapped and working again," he says on social media. "Everything is also finally backed up."

"So looks like I’ll be getting back into games development," adds Davidson, before saying that he has plans to expand the iconic Director's Cut of the game. "I have a Worms DC update to finish... will be an update to that which makes it feature-complete and adds some other stuff as well."



I gave a talk** at Berlin Fediday this weekend entitled A Bigger, Better Fediverse. I talked about what has been happening on the Fediverse in terms of growth, but also what’s been improving in terms of trust and safety. I also talk about why these two dimensions go hand-in-hand, and how we can’t have one without the other.

** Almost. There were technical issues, so I had to record the talk and then upload it. All the better for you!

Two questions


Hi !Friendica Support,
I've only been able to upload 1 photo at a time to Friendica. Is bulk upload available?

The thumbnail that is shown with a link is confusing at best because it is blurred. Is there any way to unblur it?

Thank you!

in reply to Tio

Thanks @Tio. As far as I know, I have no control over, or foreknowledge of, what is used as the thumbnail.
@Tio
in reply to Dirk

Yes you do not. So it is up to them to put up a proper image.


Lightning from last night!


Rare to have a storm like this in Eugene. I miss lightning and thunder.


Newbie questions


Hi !Friendica Support,
I'm not finding much documentation about following and connecting.
Is this how it works:
If the only relationship between A and B is that A follows B, then:
- A is a fan and follower of B.
- A and B are not considered connected.
- There is a unilateral friendship between A and B.

If B also follows A, then:
- A and B are considered connected.
- There is a mutual/bilateral friendship between A and B.

Also, from this page:

When you receive a friendship notification from another Friendica member, you will have the option of allowing them as a "Follower" or as a "Friend". If they are a follower, they can see what you have to say, including private communications that you send to them, but not vice versa. As a friend, you can both communicate with each other.

How do you cause a “friendship notification” to be sent? What form does it take when it arrives? I've been experimenting with 2 accounts, but have not seen a friendship notification.

Thank you,
Dirk

in reply to Dirk

Hi Dirk. It depends on the account type and network. For example my Fendica account is setup to accept all friends requests as "followers". So I get no notification when someone adds me as a friend. But if you follow a Mastodon account, and yo are on Friendica, perhaps they get a notification.

In Friendica you can tweak these things a lot. Let me know if you have more questions.

in reply to Tio

Thank you @Tio
Two more questions:

1. How do I set up my Friendica account to accept all friend requests as "followers"? And what are the other options?

2. I told my sister to take these steps in order to follow me:
a. Go to Contacts
b. Type my info in the “Add new contact” field and click Connect
c. On the page that comes up, click Submit request
She followed the instructions, and without any input from me, we are now mutual friends. Why didn't Friendica ask for my approval?

Thanks for the help!

@Tio
in reply to Dirk

@Dirk Maas @Tio Go to settings>account>advanced account type. Unless you have standard, you wont need to approve everyone if they want to follow you. love-all will make them all friends, soapbox will make them all followers.
@Tio @Dirk
in reply to anubis2814

Thank you @anubis2814! I just checked and my account type is standard. But with my sister it acted like it was love-all. I'm not sure how to explain that, but I'll keep an eye on things going forward.
in reply to Dirk

Hm I see. Is your sister also using friendica and on the same server?
in reply to Tio

@Tio Yes, also using Friendica and on the same server.
@Tio
in reply to Dirk

I see. So you didn't get a notification when she added you as a friend/follow but when I did you received. Interesting. Maybe was it that you already had her in your list of friends? Just checking...
in reply to Tio

No, she was not on any list – I knew she had an account, but that's all. I had tried to find her account, but could not.

Two unexpected things happened: (1) She became a follower of mine without any notification to me or input from me, and (2) I became a follower of her – again without any action taken on my part.

in reply to Dirk

We have some issues with the latest update of our Friendica perhaps. Maybe these are related...I will dig deeper.
in reply to Dirk

  1. Yes @anubis2814 is right. You can change it form there.
  2. It depends what kind of account you have. Maybe you have it setup to accept all friends requests by default. Please check that. And by the way to add someone as a contact is even easier: use the top search bar and paste someone's profile (url or name). Enter. Now you can submit a friend request. I just clicked to follow you did you get any notification?
in reply to Dirk

@Dirk Maas As far as I've ever seen its just A follows you. Following and friendship are the same thing. Though you can both follow and ignore someone too.
@Dirk

Pink Fawn Lily at Pisgah


I've never seen pink fawn lillies before, so it was really cool to see them. They're blooming at Mt. Pisgah. Saw a few trillium blooming, but most hadn't blossomed yet.



OR's Right To Repair Bill Passes House & Senate, sponsored by Eugene's reps!


Bill SB1596 has passed the house and senate and was sponsored by two Eugene reps: House Rep Holvey and Senatator Prozanski.

"Oregon has joined the small but growing list of states that have passed right-to-repair legislation. Oregon's bill stands out for a provision that would prevent companies from requiring that official parts be unlocked with encrypted software checks before they will fully function." - Ars Technica

It now awaits a signature from Tina Kotek, if you are passionate about this bill, you can contact her here:

Looks like the guy who runs it no longer wants to. Probably because it's massively profitable and they have a great brand reputation right 🤣🤣🤣


Cyclist's wrong-way ride leads to meth seizure, California warrant arrest


in reply to BuckFigotstheThird

As a bicyclist... I wish they'd arrest asshats who go the wrong way on one-way bike paths more often. I've had to veer into traffic to avoid them before.
in reply to kescusay

I'm personally more annoyed about people (including on occasion the cops themselves) who drive and park right in the middle of the bike lane. Seems to mostly be a problem around Dave's Hot Chicken, likely because they have curbside pickup even though the building is surrounded by bike lanes so there's no real curb to speak of.

Either way, I'm not so sure that arresting people would be particularly helpful for either problem. There's got to be another way, somehow.

DWeb NYC Node Meetup: April Edition
Sun 3:00 PM - 5:00 PM
DWeb New York

Come hang out with folks associated with DWeb principles in New York City. This month we're being hosted at Biotech Without Borders, a member-led community lab providing low-cost access to molecular biology facilities and other biotech-related tools.

As food for thought, members of the lab ask you to consider the question: What do you want out of a decentralized research institution and what types of projects could it enable that aren't possible in traditional institutions (industry R&D, academia) because of our current incentives?

Come up to Suite 319. Please keep the door(s) propped open and if you're unable to get in please call or text 7086371289 and someone will come down.

Hope to see you there!

Snakes, Bats, and Glowing Things: Field Genomics in the Amazon Jungle
Fri 7:00 PM - Sat 1:00 AM
Biotech Without Borders

How do scientists do disease surveillance and study biodiversity through the lens of genomics? Citizen scientist Blacki Migliozzi joined a group of jungle field researchers to find out.

Through anecdotes and stunning photography he will walk us through what it's like to work with big cats, primates, birds, bats, frogs, snakes and many other kinds of organisms. He'll also provide first-hand observations of the habitat loss endangering these ecosystems as well as the dangers scientists put themselves in when doing this important work.

We're located in Suite 319, you may have to call/text the lab phone (7086371289) to enter.

Öppen Lodis: Autumnal Hackerspace Pop-up
Fri 4:00 AM - 10:00 AM
lodis-events

Autumnal Hackerspace Pop-up Fri Oct 1


Friday Oct 1, starting at 10:00 and going on until 17:00 (likely a bit later, too—no guarantees!) the hackerspace Lodis will open its doors to any & all people interested in the space! Feel free to drop by at any time and stay for 5 minutes or 5 hours.

Lunch

At 12:00 we will be in the building's restaurant Mygel ordering extremely well-made vegetarian (w/ vegan options!) dishes for lunch. After ordering, we will likely bring our plates to eat together at the long dining table on the floor above the hackerspace. For the person on a budget (or with that lunch box you really just have to eat because—is that mold no wait maybe it's just thyme—) there are also freely available microwave ovens.

People staying longer are welcome to work on their projects (as long as it aligns with at least 4/5th of the space's principles, see the principles section at the bottom of the email), sample our tea collection—or just ask questions, chat and hang out. Responsible for this edition of Öppen Lodis (unsanctioned name) will be Jacob and Louise!

...Workshop rumors??

There are also rumors of a lockpicking workshop that will be held during the day—verifying those rumors are, however, left to the reader as an exercise (2x true if biking).

Contact


If you need to get in, reach out to either Jacob or Louise! If you lack contact details and want to pop by, just reply to this event and we'll hook you up!

Attending


We'd appreciate it if you tried to click attend on this event and let us know how things worked out! (You are also welcome to drop-by the space completely unannounced!)

Location


See map above!

principles


from https://www.lodis.se

lodis is a space for people who want to

create projects independently...
...and hang out with others while doing so.
work towards a world with greater equality
work on non-commercial projects
explore ideas and see where they end up


See you on the first day of October!
