With respect to #ActivityPub:
Simply, having now seen more into the guts of the process and how it is managed both historically and today, and understanding how the w3c works, I have no faith in their ability to define a clear consensus way forward out of the current set of problems.
Not "no faith in <timeline>" but no faith in the ability to define a clear way forward here.
This doesn't mean that someone outside of w3c couldn't define a better way forward, even one using AP, but w3c won't.
One way forward:
Someone defines a way forward within the FEP process. Not as in a static document, but builds a working group "chartered" by a FEP ( @smallcircles would appreciate this, I think).
But ultimately we're looking at needing a "AP2" and that is a fundamentally broken prospect looking at the w3c processes today. Even if they could produce such I have no faith that the problems are understood or that the right people would be in the room.

How bad is exFAT support on Linux? Is it still severely impeded by the Microsoft patent trolling?
I have lost track.

@garrett the failure was as follow:
- format the card in camera.
- start shooting
- "Write error" and that message only stays on for a couple of seconds.
(Fuji X-T3)
Can reproduce quite well. I had another card in slot 2, no problem. And yes I swapped slots too, still the same card causing trouble.
It's a card I have been using for a while and filled up many times.
@hub That was back when Republicans were also complaining about "Conservative voices being silenced" on Meta platforms because they had some fact-checking and were reach-limiting egregious misinformation.
Zuck has since kissed the ring: he said he regrets all the moderation they did on misinformation pointed out by the White house, and called Trump's photo "The most badass thing I've ever seen."

MapComplete used to do translations via hosted.weblate.org - we were using the "free tier for Libre/FLOSS-projects" which allowed to have at most 160K strings.
However, because we have a lot of strings multiplied by a lot of languages, we are approaching 180K strings (!). This is a bit over the limit.
As such, @pietervdvn setup translate.mapcomplete.org which will become our main translation hub. It should look familiar, as it too is weblate. You'll have to create a new account though.

@RaccoonForFriendica the first stable version 0.1.0 has finally been released! 🎉🎊🎉
Here is the changelog, compared the latest beta:
🦝 feat: make crash reports opt-in (disabled by default);
🦝 feat: add option to keep app bars fixed while scrolling;
🦝 fix: transition between images/videos in detail view;
🦝 fix: unmute videos in detail view;
🦝 enhancement: update licenses;
🦝 chore: update dependencies;
🦝 chore: update user manual.
If no blocking issues are reported, I intend to make it easier to install the app (by distributing on other alternative stores, e.g. setting up the submission procedure to F-Droid), translate the UI and/or user manual into more languages, etc.
Wish me good luck and remember to #livefasteattrash!

Meta must face FTC trial that could separate Instagram and WhatsApp
Meta will have to face the FTC’s antitrust lawsuit, which accuses the company of acquiring Instagram and WhatsApp to stifle competition.Emma Roth (The Verge)
For some reason people fleeing the sinking #Twitter / #X ship for #BlueSky don't seem to be aware of the fact that crypto bros at #BlockchainCapital bought a huge stake in the company just a few weeks ago. Like these are basically the same crypto bros who just helped #ElonMusk buy Twitter. They might even be literally the same people (I strongly suspect they are but I'm too lazy to check). Either way #BlockchainCapital was co-founded by #BrockPierce, who also brought you #Tether, AKA the company that Trump's transition team chairman manages $120 billion for. Pierce is also a friend of the #Netanyahu family.
You don't have to take my word for it. Here's the official press release: bsky.social/about/blog/10-24-2…
Moving to BlueSky is not an escape. Growing a base there is just putting in a bunch of work to create a platform that will be co-opted by crypto bros as soon as X breaks in half.
p.s. crypto bros (#a16z) also own #Substack
