Hi @Muse. I didn't watch all the way through -- but yes, great points. Kid these days!! Actually they're great! Coping with lots of pressures I never faced in the 1980s. At 22 we did buy our first house -- but it $26,000 Canadian!

I'm still not at a point at which I'm willing to give money to Ubisoft, but these replies are killer.
in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux ๐Ÿง๐ŸŽฎ

I don't even wanna back up Ubisoft here (because I hate them, they've become more anti-comsumer than EA) but man, at this point Elon is ridiculously easy to make fun of. He's given us ample examples of how pathetic he is

As the day ends, the Trump gang is not backing off an inch from its use of Signal, in blatant violation of the Federal Records Act. Democrats haven't yet focused on it; nor has most of the press.

But Josh Marshall gets it: "These are disappearing communications. They wonโ€™t be in the National Archives. Future administrations wonโ€™t know what happened. There also wonโ€™t be any records to determine whether crimes were committed."

Postbox Add-Ons for Friendica


in reply to Hypolite Petovan

Well, still, there'd be no reason not to strip out the [class] wrapper since other platforms can't use it anyway. There isn't anything similar in Markdown so far as I know, which might be why the raw BBcode is getting through to Disapora? I'm guessing it's missing the conversion from BBcode [class] to Markdown syntax. Which should be conversion to nothing. I'd check for it myself but I have no clue where the processing for other platforms even is in the Friendica code.

New: Fediverse Report 109

This week, an essay about #Bluesky's proposal for setting user preferences on their accounts. This allows people to indicate how they want their data to be handled off-protocol. I wrote about how the #fediverse can improve on this, using its strengths of many different communities, each with its own culture and values.

Also:
- Next week is the digital conference @fediforum
- A research dataset to compare Threads and Mastodon users

@Gargron yeah, but that does not cover everything. Especially such more interesting cases as the mastodon threads research dataset that was just released.

Regardless, the essay is about who sets the default values, and that this decision should be delegated to server admins, and not made by software platforms such as mastodon itself

in reply to Connected Places

Mastodon asks the user after sign-up what their preference is. And of course different platforms can handle this differently, e.g. if Threads has no expectations of being able to participate without appearing in discovery feeds, they would default to true.

The "federated" service that isn't federated. Which is owned by one company. ๐Ÿค” (I know folks like it, hi all of you through the bridge... but it is not owned by the people, it is owned by one single company).
in reply to Eugen Rochko

Right. That's kind of the point! The proto-fediverse was dominated by a VC-funded startup -- just like today's ATmosphere. And eight to ten years later the next-generaiton protocols (originally also developed by a corporation) got refined and adopted by a standards bodies -- just like will probably happen with AT Proto.

And presumably just as somebody from a Meta-funded non-profit has repeatedly shut down criticisms of Meta on the W3C ActivityPub mailing list, at some point somebody from a Bluesky-funded non-profit will try to shut down criticisms of Bluesky on whatever standards group is trying to take things forward.

There's a lot to critique with Bluesky but many of the critques apply to the ActivityPub fediverse as well.

in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux ๐Ÿง๐ŸŽฎ

Not that I'm arguing against more choices, but isn't the Steam Deck already exactly that, while also being first-party?

Also HP is a bloatware company, not a gaming company. What is our level of trust in them to appease the gaming community's interests, or at least not be hostile toward them as consumers?

Not a fan of HP generally speaking, but more choices and more manufacturers adopting Linux is always good.

Also, nice to see people in the field acknowledge how terrible the Windows experience is on those devices !

Yesterday was my dadโ€™s birthday. DOGE wrote me a letter this month. They want money back from him.

He had schizophrenia and was sometimes homeless. In his later years I was able to help him stay housed, and he received $180 of SSI monthly which went toward his rent in assisted living in a low-income bed.

But DOGE has realized that they overpaid him. So they sent a letter warning that some of that money may need to be returned.

The thing is, my dad is dead.
