I always struggle to pay attention to the metrics, but it looks like #Mastodon for Android downloads are up 455% recently. This tracks with how many new people I've been seeing on the explore page recently. Don't know if it's a coincidence but I think your help in fixing our app's rating might have had a hand in this...
Eugen please add mastoturk.org to the list of Servers at joinmastodon.org -- joinmastodon.org/servers -- it is the largest in Turkey. Thank you! Your email hello@joinmastodon.org doesn't respond.
I've just left the Metaverse and I think many more will follow as they realise by using Meta/X they are contributing to the rapid rise in blatant Fascism. 🙏🏻
Publicity helps. The second half of this just released podcast episode is a discussion of the #Fediverse as an alternative to TikTok. (start at 14:21).

This is Masala! Also known as Masalamoo, Masala babushka, and perfect baby girl. She is exactly what people are looking for when they say they want a cat. Her favourite activities are snuggling and napping. She somewhat reluctantly tolerates her brothers 😹
My top tip is if you want to get comfortable and good at Linux, then use it as your main regular OS and find community support if you get stuck on anything.
Just do it ^^ There is many distro, don't think Linux is not for your because you tested one and you didn't like it. Mint is meant for beginners and very easy to use. Big community online to help if need, just ask. If you want a dualboot (keep Windows too), install linux AFTER windows. Ask help if needed for partition. Don't be scared.
If you can afford to, just buy a computer from a Linux-only vendor like #Purism, #Tuxedo, #Slimbook, #StarLabs, #System76, etc. You will get professional support, and contribute towards making desktop Linux really succeed.
If you can't afford it, ask your local retailers to sell computers with #Linux, otherwise you'll take your money elsewhere.
If you run into a issue, there is a chance somebody has the same problem already, and probably, somebody will post the answer on github, replit, mastodon etc ... .Just open your favorite browser and type your problem.
Don't just wing it. Learn the commands from a youtube course or a manual. I wasted too much time doing something not knowing the right command tgat could do the same thing I was trying to do, but much quicker
You don't need to use the terminal at all, at least not until you actually know what you're doing. Installing Flatpaks is perfectly okay (This is advice I'm giving myself a year ago lol).
start a side project with any random machine, old laptop, raspberry pi. just any project that could make your life easier but is not crucial in your life. and since linux can run on a potato you don’t have to make a big investment. take what you got. run with it and don’t be scared to breake things. make it your goal to break things. because you‘ll learn from that. and every mistake made in the beginning will save you from making that same mistake later, when it’s mission critical.
You can start with a dual-boot installation. You will keep your Windows partition for your peace of mind (you won't use it as much as you may think), and you will have your Linux partition to work with.
Use Timeshift to automatically backup your system (not your files!) so that if you screw something up, you can restore your system back to some earlier timepoint.
Don't get caught up in distro wars. They all have their own advantages and disadvantages. As you learn more, you will develop your own preferences, but remember they are just preferences. Personally, I use PureOS at home and Ubuntu at work, but when I install linux for a newbie, I almost always install Linux Mint.
Not sure if the following has been part of information and discussion around here. Apparently there are several Nostr relays that bridge, with or without asking for permission, profiles to somewhere else.
Actually at least over here I also could create a positive list, restricting access to only predefined instances.
That said, the "asking for permission" is if some instance simply mirrors profiles "without asking for permission" each profile or instance it pretends to mirror or duplicate. This in any case is basically about good manners, not technical possibilities.
I didn't dig into some apparent nostr discussion itself but saw the possibility to register a profile for mirroring it. Well, actually the only way this could happen in a correct respectful manner is that a profile follows an account that than interpretates that following as a request or permission to be mirrored.
Not interested in supporting bluesky or disrespectful folks in any way so I guess this list comes kinda preemptive handy. 👍
"Epp gave a sermon called "Shadows and Essence". He used Hebrews 8:5, a text on the shadow of heavenly things. A document, I think, is a shadow of earthly things."
A rich history of wanderers, exiles and intruders. A haunting personal journey through Central Asia. An intimate reflection on mixed identity shaped by cultural crossings.

Airships: Lost Flotilla is a steampunk themed auto-shooter just released from David Stark, an offshoot of their other game Airships: Conquer the Skies and it's simply great.
complicado estar com la misma intensidad en los dos mundos. Com en ido de que este es el lugar y de que no podemos irnos de las redes sociales hegemomicas sin traer a la mayoría de la gente. Abrazos!
It's a good article, though it probably resonates already to the people who would read my feed. The more useful part of it is that it's a good article to send the "moderate" people in your life, who are letting literal nazis take over this country quietly.
The Nexus team continue building up their newer cross-platform open source Nexus Mods App that will eventually replace Vortex. Version 0.7.2 was released recently further expanding what you can do with it.
Here's the up to date list of games available on Amazon Prime Gaming for January 24th, and what compatibility you can expect for Linux / SteamOS and Steam Deck.
Necesse is an impressive open-world base-building survival and adventure game from developer Fair Games ApS, with a big update out now and you can try it free this weekend. There's also a 35% discount if you want to keep it.
Sad news for NVIDIA GPU owners on Linux who want to play FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH, which just released on Steam yesterday as it appears broken. Works on Linux for those with an AMD GPU like the Steam Deck though.
meanwhile, I can't even launch the game with Intel Arc. *sign* (I know Arc GPUs on Linux are not yet up-to-par with Windows drivers, but still annoying, there needs to be another player in the GPU game imo)
Recent updates to THE FINALS ended up breaking it on Linux / Steam Deck, but Valve have pushed out a new update to Proton Hotfix to get it working again.
