“I, a writer, asked the plagiarism machine to copy guides for me.”

This is how we ruin the internet. People will stop writing guides.

I moved the #Friendica Wiki to another server. I need some people to test it and see if all works. I will then solve the problems pointed out.

The initial setup was not done by me. It was still on a server with php 7.4 because it did not work with 8.x due to some plugins. I removed those plugins, apparently not maintained since 2014.

I also saw that it loads some js from some CDN, I don't like that either, so tips welcome on that. Maybe there is a plugin that stores such stuff locally?

Also can you suggest a free service to analyze your webpage, show problem, broken links and such?

I saw that the Avatar (only a systemwide standard avatar for all users) is not displayed in my Firefox, but looks fine on Chromium. May be a DNS issue, so local issue only, seems tailscale some how messes up my DNS resolution. But please have a look for any embedded stuff that does not load!

Send me screenshots if you like and/or links to the problem page.

Google are breaking my mittens - Sonofa. Twelve years ago I knitted a pair of “self-replicating mittens” (web-goddess.org/archive/14046) with a QR code that pointed you to the pattern for the mittens, and I entered them in the Sydney Royal Easter Show. I was pretty proud of my cleverness. In the blog post (web-goddess.org/archive/11192) where I talked about making the mittens, I said:

I wanted my code to be as simple as possible, so I needed to use a URL shortener to mask my intended address. I settled on using Google‘s, reasoning that it was likely to be around the longest. (Though who knows these days, right?)

You can guess what’s happened, right? Google URL Shortener links will no longer be available (developers.googleblog.com/en/g…) as of August this year.

Bastards are breaking my mittens. Perhaps I’ll have to add some embroidery. web-goddess.org/archive/56383

Our top story: If the voucher bill were to pass, select private companies could soon be reeling in tens and even hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars per year. We took a closer look at who stands to gain the most. texasobserver.org/school-vouch…

How Voucher Vendors Could Make Millions from ‘School Choice’ in Texas

The Legislature’s current proposals put a handful of private contractors in the driver’s seat. Other states have already seen problems.

Saddling small sites with the same duties as huge platforms means many will shut down in a hammer blow to net plurality.

We'll be left with the Sophie’s choice of monopoly services; the incubators of online harms.

URGENT: The UK government must change the Online Safety Act to protect safe, non-commercial blogs, forums and fediverse.

Small UK websites, user-to-user services and even computer games that are completely safe and well managed, are faced with difficult paperwork, risks assessments, registration and fines thanks to the Online Safety Act.

@Friendica Support Die folgende #Frage hatte ich schon einmal gestellt, sie aber irrtümlich wieder gelöscht:

Ich habe mir einen zusätzlichen #Circle eingerichtet, den ich nur als #Feedreader nutzen will. #Feeds, die dort landen, werden jedoch nicht in diesem Circle angezeigt, sondern unter "Alle Kontakte bzw. Kontakte". Was muss ich tun, um die Feeds nur in diesem neuen Circle anzuzueigen und den Rest unter "Alle Kontakte"?

I’m an amateur lisper, mostly #Guile and #EmacsLisp, but if someone wants to team up for this #GameJam, I’d be interested!

I also do some basic art, game design, sound, and music. I wouldn’t want to be the sole programmer for this jam but could definitely contribute there and would love to learn more #Lisp.

"The United States has requested that Denmark and other European countries send it eggs, according to the Nordic country's egg association."

That would be 'the' Denmark that Trump is threatening to seize Greenland from. You couldn't make it up. It is beyond parody.

US updates: Trump calls media 'corrupt' and 'illegal'

In a rare speech at the Department of Justice, President Trump complained that US media was biased against him, saying it "has to be illegal." The US also asked Denmark if it had any eggs to spare. Follow DW for more.
