Please please please, don't disable *full* context menu (currently it's available with Shift+context menu key or Shift+F10). To be honest, I hate those new menus (available on the right click or context menu key without the Shift) with passion. Thanks!

Ein Nebeneffekt und mein persönliches Problem mit dessen Design ist, dass ich vermeiden muss, ein ähnliches Design aus Versehen zu nutzen und dafür ein paar aufs Maul zu bekommen.

Ich muss also deren Produktentwicklung mitverfolgen, um nicht versehentlich in diese Falle zu tappen.

K. ist psychisch krank und lebt seit 9 Jahren in ihrer Wohnung. Das Jobcenter hat ihr montalich 168 € der Miete gekürzt und sie zum Umzug aufgefordert. Eine günstigere Wohnung gibt es aber nicht und weil sie auf ihre Fachärzte vor Ort angewiesen ist, kann sie nicht einfach wegziehen!

Sie ist nur eine von sehr vielen Menschen, die sich gerade wegen gekürzten Mietkosten an uns wenden. Unsere Anwält*innen gehen gegen die Kürzung des Jobcenters vor und wir übernehmen die Mietlücke aus unserem Solitopf. Verfahren zu Mietdifferenzen können sich aber über Jahre ziehen!

Allein im Juli haben wir an mehr als 250 Menschen in existenziellen Notlagen gut 80.000 € umverteilt. Damit gehen wir weit über unser Budget hinaus. Mit dem aktuellen Stand unseres Solitopfs können wir das nicht dauerhaft stemmen.

Deswegen brauchen wir eure Unterstützung! ❤️
Unterstützt uns gerne als Dauerspender*in, wenn ihr könnt:

Most of the world is on X. So by that logic most of the world’s people suck.

No. You cannot judge a person by what platform they use. I detest Facebook but that doesn’t mean that I think people who use it suck.

The world is not that black and white.

Great post - I would add as well that returning to X/Twitter, *and* actively paying for the Premium subscription as Federico is doing is another, much stronger sign of intent. I'm not sure how you can rationalise that as anything other than putting money into the pocket of Elon Musk.

It'll be interesting to see what today's episode of Connected has to say about this - legitimately not sure if it'll be my last one.

for my followers out there that know a lot about musical keyboards, I have a question. for you that I hope you can help with. May got a Donner DDP-90PRO keyboard, which looks really nice. the problem is that it isn't like keyboards I have ever seen in the past that has lots of buttons above the keyboard that you select tempos, tones/instraments things like that. this one seems to use a function key, and keys on the keyboard. I want to show you what it says for selecting what they call a tone, which I call an instrament.

The product has 238 tones for users to select .
Simple selection of tones : After the piano is turned on , the grand piano tone is a default ; you may press and hold the " Function " and the " C1 " , " C3 " or " D3 " key on the keyboard to switch to another tone for different tones .
Rapid selection of tones :
Press and hold the " Function " key and the " F1 - A2 " keys on the keyboard to rapidly select one tone from * 000-237 " ;
Note :
The combination of number keys shall satisfy " three digits , for example : Tone 23 is required , you need toconstantly select the " 0 + 2 + 3 ' keys for the combination , otherwise the operation will be invalid .

Now when it says something like C1 does it mean the first octive you can hit the c key? or is it possible that the keys on the keyboard would be marked with things like C1, D1, E1, E2, ETC?

@FreakyFwoof that is what may thought, so thanks for confirming that one, but where it says to enter the three digits for the tone/instrament, how do you know what keys are 0 threw 9? for example if you knjow french horn is something like 148, how would you enter those digits? as you saw in the note it says something about enterint the three digit number.

That's why having a protocol where the clients are separated from the data is important. ✨

If your interactions between your clients and your account is standardized you can easily switch clients and import/export your data.

With #XMPP you only have one account (that you can host yourself) and many clients that allows you to do chat, social networking, video-conferencing ...all synchronized together. 😸

If tomorrow you want to switch to another Movim instance or another XMPP social client, you just have to login on the new one with your existing account!

Attention please! (Clears his throat).

Seeing that the Pixelfed.social server was receiving spam and scam accounts, I decided to switch server. Imagine my surprise when I discovered... I couldn't. You can't migrate a Pixelfed.social profile to another instance. Apparently, this has been the case for over a year, by other complaints I've seen.

The lead developer has said something like they're working on fixing it, but it's been like this for a while...

I asked @pixelfed for an explanation several days ago. They've posted things, but they haven't answered to me.

Meanwhile, they've disabled one of the main features of the Fediverse on the largest (and "official") #Pixelfed server.

In other words, they're holding all their users hostage, which goes against the philosophy of the #Fediverse.

What's more, Pixelfed has a function to export your data. However, exporting posts always fails.

I thought, well, at least I can import the people I follow. Nope, because the only import tool they've designed is one for importing your Instagram account. Disabled on the main Pixelfed.social server, by the way.

I even started to think it was because they were one version behind the server I wanted to move to (which would be strange, since it's the main server).

Well, no, they have the same version. But you can only migrate your account INTO Pixelfed.social, not the other way, OUT of Pixelfed.social. That makes the whole thing crystal clear to me.

In short: NEVER create an account on Pixelfed.social, or you'll be held hostage. I recommend another servers (Luzeed, Fotolibre, for example). And there's also @vernissage for sharing photos.

You can all follow me again at this account: @andrewblasco@luzeed.org. Because of course, without account migration, you lose all your followers 🤷🏽‍♂️

From my understanding of the original post they probably need something like XEP-0283: Moved, which is not super widely deployed in the XMPP ecosystem (yet). But yes, the fact that almost every Fediverse client has a task-specific backend is something I find weird and a bit annoying too. Especially, but not just, because it forces me to have different identities. (One for micro blogging, one for videos, …)

Movim

@daniel From what I saw from the ActivityPub ecosystem is that each client is kinda building on top of the base protocol where in XMPP we try to create generic concept.

For example a Story in XMPP is a simple Atom item published to a dedicated Stories node on the user account xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0501.h… .

So if a client want to do Stories it just have to parse and publish to this node, where in ActivityPub you are more trying to integrate with Mastodon, PixelFed, PeerTube... directly.

XEP-0501: Pubsub Stories

This specification defines a way of publishing Stories over XMPP.

No, you are 100% correct and I agree with you. I’m just not sure that this is what @andrewblasco was complaining about. 😄

And we should look more into XEP-0283: Moved. There was a talk at #FOSSY about a large XMPP provider going down and the problems that cause which reignited my interest in account migration.

Daniel Gultsch

That said I listened to a presentation about #ActivityPub C2S by @django at #FOSSY and his efforts to create a general purpose client, which I guess would eventually also open the door to generic, frontend agnostic servers as well.

I guess the way it works right now is mostly for historical reason; That’s how #Mastodon did it and everyone followed. But it doesn’t have to be that way for ever.

@daniel@gultsch.social what I write is not related to xmpp but #ATproto is good for that and better than #activitypub imho. You have one PDS (personal data server that can be also self hosted) and several apps who retrieve data from the PDS.

@mario Yes, when describing the status quo #ATproto is better in that regard (relative agnostic PDS with different 'views' on to the data). However I think that’s not necessarily inherent to #ActivityPub. It’s just how most (or basically all tbh) implementations work right now.

marius

@daniel indeed, ActivityPub supports an independent PDS like server but most of the popular services are not designed like that. I think ATProto PDSes are a bit more versatile, as they support storing opaque binary blobs, where ActivityPub requires compatible JSON-LD documents, but there's definitely the possibility of "owning" your data.

FOSS/FLOSS/GNU can barely be described as safe for white cis women, the absolutely lowest effort level of diversity. We have a long way to go to make the fediverse an alternative for everyone.

Unrepentant serial abusers are still welcome in many open source tech spaces. It is not physically safe to attend events with these assholes.

Why does anyone expect more underrepresented and constantly harassed people to get into this cesspit?

How about we get rid of the bigots instead of letting the fediverse become dominated by whitesplaining sea lions?

The solution offered by FOSSbros is always less “have a space of your own, where you enjoy community” and more “shut yourself off from the world if you can’t hack it.”

Google replaced pushing Git tags for certain source code with obtaining source code via Google Drive after making a request through Google Forms. It's completely ridiculous and they've gradually become very slow at handling requests. They're in clear violation of the GPLv2 now.

my tabletop party did this to a sphinx once. they played the sphinx like a goddamn fiddle.

they get to a sphinx and just stare at it. the sphinx gets fed up and asks "what'd you come here for? just to stare at me?"

they say "we came here to enter, we did not come here just to stare at you"

the sphinx goes "alright, i was getting worried. now, answer my riddles three and the door shall open to-"

they say "but we already answered them"

the sphinx then commits the fatal mistake of asking "when?"

the party cheerfully answers "now"

stop signs in Quebec come with a little diagram which tells you which of the other streets meeting at the intersection *also* have a stop sign, so that you know who you can expect to stop and who won't. (I like that better than the "two-way" sign you get when one of the streets does not have a stop sign.)
