Today I saw someone toot, in dismay, people are posting their everyday life to Mastodon when they could simply buy a diary for $1.99. I can't stop thinking about this.
What if this is all they have? What if they're isolated with or without people in their life? What if the only kind word they hear this week is, "That's cool"? I say, post your mundane. Post anything you want. While being silenced everywhere else, don't be silent here.

Lads lads lads lads!

Here's the first release candidate for v0.20.0 of #GoToSocial! If you're feeling bold, you can try this release candidate and help us find any lingering bugs before we release v0.20.0 proper!

codeberg.org/superseriousbusin…

Please read the migration notes carefully for instructions on how to upgrade to this version.

The migrations in this release are quite long (can take several hours, even!), as we had to rethread the entire statuses table to handle the new way we cache status threads (and to improve timeline performance). Please plan downtime accordingly, and most importantly hang in there and don't be tempted to interrupt the migration process!

Please also pay particular attention to the metrics changes, as we've significantly changed the way that metrics exposure is configured, so you will likely have to adjust your setup if you use GtS Prometheus metrics. For more information on the new way of doing things, look through this document: docs.gotosocial.org/en/latest/…

Release highlights

  • Big refactor of timeline code to use less memory and be (hopefully!) more responsive and less error prone.
  • Support for scheduled statuses!
  • Support for the focal point property on the frontend + over federation, so you can set focal point on your media and have it work properly!
  • Notifications when a status you've interacted with has been edited.
  • ListenBrainz widget on the frontend, so you can show off the music you've been listening to (docs.gotosocial.org/en/latest/…)
  • Instance info panel in the settings, so that non-admins on the instance can see which domains are blocked and explicitly allowed, and the reason why.
  • Bunch of new themes for profile views!
  • Config option to expose emoji endpoints without authentication -- useful for compatibility with some clients. Default value still requires authentication.
  • Footnotes in markdown!
  • Configurable thumbnail dimensions.
  • Federation of avatar + header image descriptions is handled now, both in + out of GtS.
  • The new hidesToPublicFromUnauthedWeb and hidesCcPublicFromUnauthedWeb are federated in and out now, allowing your instance and other instances that support these properties to transmit + respect preferences for the visibility of posts to render on the unauthenticated (public) web view of threads.
  • Support for avif file format.
  • JSON logging format, for easier log ingestion.
  • Atom and JSON feed support for RSS (not just xml).
  • Reworked metrics format, more + better metrics, and an importable example grafana dashboard.
  • Domain permission subscription retractions are now handled properly.
  • Probably a lot more! See below!

Thanks for reading!


v0.20.0-rc1 - superseriousbusiness/gotosocial

Lads lads lads lads! Here's the release candidate for v0.20.0 of GoToSocial! It's been a long summer of gently poking and prodding at the sloth, and she's finally getting ready to lumber out the door and say hello.

GoToSocial

Hi everyone, here's the second release candidate for version 0.20.0 of #GoToSocial:

codeberg.org/superseriousbusin…

Compared to v0.20.0-rc1 there's been a few bugfixes, some docs changes, dependency bumps, and some improvements to migration performance (hopefully!).

Please read the migration notes carefully for instructions on how to upgrade to this version.

If you're coming from v0.19.2 or below, please be aware that the migrations in this release are quite long (can take several hours, even!), as we had to rethread the entire statuses table to handle the new way we cache status threads (and to improve timeline performance). Please plan downtime accordingly, and most importantly hang in there and don't be tempted to interrupt the migration process!

Thanks for reading, and enjoy your Sunday!


v0.20.0-rc2 - superseriousbusiness/gotosocial

Here's the second release candidate for v0.20.0 of GoToSocial. For instructions to update to this release candidate from versions < v0.20.0-rc1, see the [v0.20.0-rc1 release candidate notes](https://codeberg.

Hi all, here's the third release candidate for version 0.20.0 of #GoToSocial

codeberg.org/superseriousbusin…

Couple little bugfixes for issues that were in rc2.

Please read the migration notes carefully for instructions on how to upgrade to this version.

If you're coming from v0.19.2 or below, please be aware that the migrations in this release are quite long (can take several hours, even!), as we had to rethread the entire statuses table to handle the new way we cache status threads (and to improve timeline performance). Please plan downtime accordingly, and most importantly hang in there and don't be tempted to interrupt the migration process!

What happened to rc3, you ask? It's a secret.


v0.20.0-rc4 - superseriousbusiness/gotosocial

Here's the third release candidate for v0.20.0 of GoToSocial. For instructions to update to this release candidate from versions < v0.20.0-rc1, see the [v0.20.0-rc1 release candidate notes](https://codeberg.

Vale, ahora me voy a poner serio y cambiar de tema. Tengo un correo de la ONCE donde indican que la UCM quiere entrevistar para un estudio a 650 afiliados. Me invitan a responder la encuesta si me llaman. Eso significa que la ONCE le ha dado a la universidad al menos mi nombre y mi teléfono, lo que supone una comunicación de datos de carácter personal a un tercero. ¿Alguien sabe en qué momento hemos consentido esto de forma explícita, tal y como indica el RGPD?

A Lost Chapter Of The World’s First Novel Discovered In A Japanese Home

It's one of 54 chapters from a transcription of The Tale of Genji, written in the 11th century.

By Natasha Ishak

allthatsinteresting.com/tale-o…

The Tale Of Genji at PG:
gutenberg.org/ebooks/search/?q…

#books #literature

Portrait-Icon of Murasaki Shikibu (Murasaki Shikibu zu), 17th century, by Tosa Mitsuoki. Murasaki Shikibu appears poised to begin writing her tale, pausing as if in mid-thought. Her head tilts away from her desk, while her trancelike stare is directed slightly upward, toward the calligraphy sheets in the upper portion of the painting. The inscriptions list the four stages of Tendai Buddhist contemplation (shimon) that Murasaki was said to have mastered, along with two of her waka (thirty-one-syllable poems) that speak to life’s impermanence (mujōkan). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Tale_of_Genji#/media/File:Tosa_Mitsuoki%E2%80%94Portrait_of_Murasaki_Shikibu.jpg

Lost Chapter Of 'The Tale Of Genji,' The World's First Novel, Discovered

Written in 1010 by a medieval Japanese woman, a poet transcribed the novel 200 years later — and now, we have one of those long-lost chapters.

Linux Deploy (apt.izzysoft.de/packages/ru.me…) hasn't seen any update since 2020, and its repo fell dormant in 2021. We still see about 40 installs per month from our repo.

Anyone here using it? Is it still working and considered useful, so we should keep it?

The Japanese koto is one of those go-to #instrument for relaxation #Music, but it also has a touch of otherworldliness to it at times, i.e. deliberate dissonances, microtonal nuances, etc. It's a zither with 13 strings, though there have been variants with up to 80.
This is a performance by ENOKIDO Fuyuki (20 mins long) with a great selection of pieces. Wonderfully played with loads of expressiveness..

One of the most recognisable and evocative sounds of Japan, the 'koto' is a Japanese stringed instrument made from paulownia wood with a rich musical history...

I heard that KDE could use some fundraising campaign artwork, so calling all artists who may follow me:

  • If you like KDE stuff like Krita or Plasma etc..
  • And if you like Konqi and Katie

We could use some artwork: Drawings of Konqi and Katie for fundraising efforts. Here is a good example: community.kde.org/File:Konqui-…

The promo folk will explain more what they need specifically, I'm mostly a messenger.

It is volunteer work (so very likely no payment) and the artwork will have to have permissive license such as CC-BY-SA. And I understand for many artists that's a lot to ask.. But you never know if you don't ask right?

There's different style campaigns for different holiday seasons. If you're interested, let me know here or my email, and I'll give out details how to contact the promo team. You can also chat with them directly through their Matrix channel: community.kde.org/Get_Involved…

Here's examples of various artwork we have: community.kde.org/Promo/Materi…

Edit: I don't think there's participation limit either. :)

And yes, this makes you a contributor to KDE! :)

Hey @RogueAmoeba. Mac OS has a feature that ducks system audio when joining a call, e.g. on FaceTime or in Safari. This is a problem for Voice Over users. Even though VO itself is somehow exempted, other apps that use speech, notably the much superrior terminal screen reader tdsr, are not. Neither is any audio (including screen readers) that comes from virtual machines. As far as I understand, this cannot be disabled by the user in any way. Since your apps reach so deeply into Mac OS's audio internals, can any of them be used to bypass this feature, and if so, how?

Potíže s novou vládou. Z Okamury i Motoristů má Babiš těžkou hlavu

Potíže s novou vládou. Z Okamury i Motoristů má Babiš těžkou hlavu

SPD i Motoristé si nárokují obsazení dvou ministerských křesel v nové Babišově vládě. ANO je proti, cítí se silné a od malých partají žádá jen tichou podporu.

Fousac

Ani druhá strana to nebude mít lehký.

Jejich hlavní sliby jdou zásadně proti zájmům ANO.
Turek chce dramaticky snižovat schodky a dluhy, rušit dotace a nikomu nic nedávat.
Pitomio pořád básní o czexitu a vyhošťování migrantů. Navíc má v partaji 5 pijavic, co jdou jen po korytech (Majerová, Rajchl...).

A oběma reálně hrozí, že skončí jak Hamáček, když nic neprosadí nebo budou jen tiše sedět a zvedat pracky podle Babiše.

Takový hezký den to mohl být.
Člověk ráno vstane, všude svítí — vždyť když vyhrála ta lepší vláda, elektřina bude skoro zadarmo. Možná nám i budou doplácet!
Do Německa jsem to valil jen na dvojku, ať ten diesel pořádně hulí. Den jak z pohlednice…
Než jsem se v práci blbě otočil — a cvak! Záda v háji. Sotva se hýbu.
Tak zas marodím. Mě už fakt klepne.

Chat Control is one of the most important issue for human rights and democracy in the West right now.

There is little time left to fight back!🚨

❓If you don't know what it is: read this article

🇪🇺 If you are in the EU: Contact your MEPs NOW

🇪🇺 If you already contacted your MEPs: Contact your local media TODAY to ask them to report and inform on the dangers of Chat Control.

🌎 If you are not European: Spread the word! Talk about it on social media. Contact your local media. Contact your representatives to share your concerns about similar proposals and the loss of privacy rights. This would affect you too!

This is an urgent matter. We cannot let the West slip in this authoritarian dystopia.
We must stop Chat Control ✊🛑

#ChatControl #Privacy #HumanRights #Democracy #DigitalRights #EUpol #UKpol #USpol #CanPoli


Chat Control Must Be Stopped, Act Now!

Chat Control is back to undermine everyone's privacy. There's an important deadline this Friday on September 12th. We must act now to stop it!

I was at #FediDay25 in Berlin over the weekend. Lots of discussion about how we can get institutions and public broadcasters onto the #Fediverse.

When I was on Twitter, I mostly followed personal accounts from journalists and researchers because I was interested in their hot takes that didn't get filtered through social media departments.
If we want to get them on the Fediverse, it needs to become a place where they genuinely want to be. Public pressure won't be enough.
