We have today written to our MP about the Online Safety Act 2023, its appalling and disproportionate implementation, and how it will affect our web site.
War Thunder from Gaijin Entertainment announced back in December 2024 that they would be changing the anti-cheat, which continues to be rolled out in stages.
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).

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. 👍
NASA astronauts, Tracy C. Dyson, Mike Barratt, Matthew Dominick, and Jeanette Epps, who served as part of Expedition 71, will discuss their recent missions to the International Space Station during a visit to Marshall Space Flight Center on Jan. 29.
"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.

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.
NASA will host four astronauts at 9 a.m. CDT Wednesday, Jan. 29, for a media opportunity at the agency’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama.

"Free to try" is basically a demo of the game, not a free game.
