Today, we're launching the first Beta of Bounce, a tool that lets you migrate your social graph across protocols!

We got such a positive response from our announcement, and we're so excited for folks to try it out.

You know how you can natively carry over followers from one account to another in the fediverse? This tool allows this but between the fediverse and Bluesky.
in reply to miinatsu

Yes! We definitely hope so. Stay tuned…

(And in the meantime, check out mostr.pub/ )

in reply to Ryan Barrett

@snarfed.org @miinatsu It should come with a disclaimer that mostr.pub has been developed and is maintained by a known transphobe who previously worked for Trump on the Truth Social platform. So if you care about that, do not check it out.

Kasich goes on a red-faced rant about crime in Chicago then says, "It's truly amazing that MSNBC allows me to come on." Well there, we agree. It's amazing that MSNBC has the bad judgment to include this Trumpist-in-sheep's-clothing. Next he praises Guiliani. Be gone.

I'm wondering when we are able to get such boards but with RISCV


in reply to Joseph Teller

So, they take money from businesses and citizens with "tariffs" and then buy the companies that pay tariffs. Seems like Oroboros .
Although it seems that the Intel money adds up to what Biden had already committed to Intel for the CHIPS Act. TFG just re-characterized the program to fit his grasping tiny hands.

Sad news: the WebAIM mailing list is shutting down on August 27.

The archives will remain available.

Since 1999, the WebAIM @webaim email list has distributed discussions on web accessibility and provided a virtual community for a diverse range of members. I've been subscribed since 2002, and I learned more about accessibility from the list and its members than from any other single source on the web.

End of an era.

For those who don't know, WebAIM @webaim is a non-profit service centre operating out of Utah State University.

They run the WebAIM Million project, which reports on the accessibility of the home pages of the top 1000,000 websites.

[1]Over the years, I've found their resources on Creating Accessible Documents to be a reliable link to share with folks to begin learning about document accessibility.

in reply to Philip Kiff

The decommissioning of the WebAIM list is a perfect opportunity to recognize and promote the other longest-serving mailing list dedicated to accessibility: the Webdev (or Web Design Update) newsletter run by @laura_carlson out of the University of Minnesota Duluth.

Since 2002, this weekly email newsletter has reliably collected and categorized the best articles on web accessibility. I can't recommend it highly enough.

To be fair, the ingredients shouldn't be so easily recognizable.
in reply to It's FOSS

Nice joke!

If ever a Linux distro becomes a mainstream OS, ordinary (= most) users must be protected from having to know about the ingredients, still less the soil they grew on.

We just need to use our computers!

Though we do need organised surveillance by people qualified to detect potential 'poisoning' at the instigation of influences that don't need to be discussed here.
