Excellent video by @Techaltar about the #SocialWeb. You can basically send this to anyone who wants to learn what makes Mastodon unique compared to other social media platforms and what it is that we're doing here 🙂

Only thing wrong is that it updates, and jumps the text back (or is it forward) three to ten posts while I’m reading and didn’t ask for it. Other than that, great site. Important to have alternatives.

there is an irony in a video about Fediverse shared via YouTube and based on interviews with white dudes only. The introduction gave me (male, white, old as well) chills of nostalgia. Thanks!


Time to blow the dust off your VR headset - Metro Awakening is coming gamingonlinux.com/2024/02/time…

#MetroAwakening #VR

in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux 🐧🎮

You joke, but I would like to play this in VR, with the new headset that Valve is rumoured to work on that's wireless. I loved my time with the Quest 2 a year ago (before I sold it), but I'm not buying any wired headset again.


Updates for Hub 4 (26.0.11), Hub 6 (27.1.6), and Hub 7 (28.0.2) are available 🚀

Have you fixed this bug yet?

github.com/nextcloud/social/is…

If not, please warn your users that they should *not* update their Nextcloud installations if they run this app, or it will corrupt their database and leave Nextcloud unusable!

That's a pretty glaring and painful bug, so I think lots of loud warnings are warranted until it's fixed.

@linux Noted, thank you! And, very sorry you had this experience... We're looking into it.
in reply to Nextcloud 📱☁️💻

there seems to be a pretty nasty issue with "user_external" that looks like an easy fix github.com/nextcloud/user_exte…
It prevents people relying on "user_external" from upgrading their installations to 28 and beyond.

Discovered this gem ages ago – couldn't believe I didn't know about it sooner though.

Hope this ripper helps someone else.

some Nintendo managers must be furious. All they had to do is combine Pokémon, Splatoon and add crafting. But instead palworld filled that niche

The absolute state of some gaming news sites.

Article title: "New Alan Wake II Update Is For All You Babies Out There"

The new game option: “Added option to choose between Low and Normal horror flash visual and audio intensity.”

Ah yes, people with photo-sensitivity issues should just tell their body it's being a baby. Right. Gotcha.

in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux 🐧🎮

just to out out a different signal: it’s not the writers, it’s the managers. They make the writers make headlines that are as triggering / vague / clickbait as possible. Aftermath (ex-writers of Kotaku) has a great piece on this: aftermath.site/its-exhausting-…

Interesting. With an orbital period of 19 days it is almost certainly tidally locked.

And with a predicted mean temperature of 234 +/- 12 K, it will be cold if it is rotating.

Most likely this planet will have one roasted face, one frozen face, and a turbulent transition band where liquid water and life is possible.

More though, huge solar flares from its red dwarf star seem likely to keep it sterile.

I was on the Software Engineering Daily podcast (again, first time back in 2018), so if you are software- or engineering-inclined, and want to hear more about that side of Mastodon, you can have a listen:

ZDNET shares a glowing review of #Nextcloud in Best Cloud Storage 2024.

⭐ Recommended as the "most trustworthy cloud storage."
⭐ Ideal "for everyone who values security and privacy."
⭐ Perfect "for anyone who wants maximum control over their cloud."

zdnet.com/article/best-cloud-s…

in reply to Nextcloud 📱☁️💻

Cheesus that article is old! I know recycling is good, but claiming it's for the best cloud storage options for 2024 and claiming to have been written in 2024 while at the same time stating the most recent version of Nextcloud is v21 ...

I may agree with many of their points, but how can we trust such an outdated article pretending to be current?
