Mech combat game Mechanized Corps: Rebirth arrives in Early Access
Back in 2014 the mech combat game Dark Horizons: Mechanized Corps arrived on Steam in Early Access but it was eventually abandoned. Now, a few of the original team got back together to bring it back as Mechanized Corps: Rebirth.Liam Dawe (GamingOnLinux)
My laptop is from 2013. It was OK back then. It's now running #Debian and works fine. It got an SSD a few years ago and a new battery last year.
It does all the things I need a laptop for and would be good enough for 99% of consumers.
Most people could greatly benefit in many ways from #Linux. What's a good way to get people to try Linux? Genuine question.

Ich habe gerade den "Leitfaden fรผr den Instanz-Betrieb im dezentralen Netzwerk - Datenschutz bei Mastodon" von gefunden.
Dieser gibt neben grundsรคtzlichen Informationen auf was Instanzbetreiber achten mรผssen, vor allem auch eine sehr praktische Sammlung an Musterdokumenten unter CC BY-ND 4.0-Lizenz. Ihr kรถnnt es also fรผr euere Instanzen anpassen und nutzen.
Auch relevant fรผr @Friendica Admins / @Friendica Support
Auf einem abstrakten Niveau sind die Anforderungen, die wir beschreiben, auch auf andere Plattformen des Fediverse รผbertragbar. Dennoch gibt es einige Aspekte, die von der konkreten Plattform und Software-Implementierung abhรคngen. So sind zum Beispiel die Mรถglichkeiten, rechtliche Texte einzubinden und anzuzeigen, unterschiedlich.

Looking for recommendations for a fedi instance for a new alt in the short term (this instance might have an outage soon and might eventually shut down entirely)
Requirements:
- Akkoma preferred (reacts, quote posts, markdown, Fedilab compatible)
- Frontend shows public/unlisted posts to anonymous users (this instance doesn't do that and it's pretty annoying when sending links to my own posts)
- High level of federation (does not block too heavily, is not blocked too heavily) (I would be happy with my fedi.absturztau.be account if that instance didn't have so many instances blocking it ages ago and never reviewing that block)
- High character limit (at least 10K, but less than 2^31 so it doesn't crash Fedilab)
- Good selection of blobcat and/or neocat emoji

It's a fucking headache but frankly I don't believe there's a way for small sites/platforms to comply, as the law is simply not written with us in mind.

WOW - The French government announced a new OSS project simply called Docs:

"Those obsessed with productivity and injustice often disparage doing nothing, though by doing nothing we usually mean a lot of subtle actions and observations and cultivation of relationships that are doing many kinds of something. It's a doing something whose value and results are not so easily quantified or commodified, and you could even argue that any or every evasion of quantifiability and commodifiability is a victory against assembly lines, authorities, and over-simplifications."

โI, a writer, asked the plagiarism machine to copy guides for me.โ
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 โself-replicating mittensโ (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 Googleโs, reasoning that it was likely to be around the longest. (Though who knows these days, right?)
You can guess whatโs happened, right? Google URL Shortener links will no longer be available (developers.googleblog.com/en/gโฆ) as of August this year.

@Friendica Support Die folgende #Frage hatte ich schon einmal gestellt, sie aber irrtรผmlich wieder gelรถscht:
Ich habe mir einen zusรคtzlichen #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"?
Iโm an amateur lisper, mostly #Guile and #EmacsLisp, but if someone wants to team up for this #GameJam, Iโd be interested!
I also do some basic art, game design, sound, and music. I wouldnโt want to be the sole programmer for this jam but could definitely contribute there and would love to learn more #Lisp.
