If there are issues you've found that aren't there, are they part of the instance of Mastodon that you are using, or part of the core open source project? Custom themes can get in the way.

Aww, somebody just stole my perfect startup idea. 😆 So happy for the blind people in Paris who now have got a taxi-bike service. Still not a tandem ride on-demand but that much closer to it. I recall @Marco@lgbt.tech was interested in this kind of idea at some point. bimboum.com/

Any Rustaceans looking for a challenge want to implement soft-wrap for Helix Editor?

(Pretty please?) :)

#HelixEditor #rust #dev

As discussed on Matrix. The default behavior of Kakoune to not line wrap is confusing. Typically I'd appreciate the austere design, where until a newline is encountered, do not wrap. However I ...

Na Mastodonu se nám líbí. Spustili jsme proto novou instanci MastodonCzech.cz, která je zaměřená na českou komunitu:

Moving back to mastodon.social/@lzap

Please follow me at @lzap if you like my tech/linux/servers content.

It was fun, gotosocial backend works great, however, as my network grew it started triggering some red flags on my ISP infrastructure as running Mastodon instance at home was not great idea.

I considered moving my instance to cloud, however, my old account still works, the instance is faster now and I am just too lazy. Also, hiking weekend is approaching and I do not have time for any kind of migration. :-)

I finished my stint as a Mozilla Fellow and now I'm relaunching my Patreon with a focus on, well, fixing social media.

This means I'm going to continue my concerted work trying to make the fediverse a better place, in the form of best practice guides for running instances, external advocacy, and technical tutorials and training so that more people can contribute software to the fediverse at large.

You can read a partial summary of my work so far at my new Patreon page!

FediBlock starter pack

I'm a little surprised to see a lot of people posting domains in #FediBlock that any competent admin should have blocked on day 1.

Start with the weirder.earth suggested instance blocks, which are generally bigger/more active ones: github.com/weirderearth/weirde…

Tenforward.social has a much longer list with links to admin announcements, with reasons: wiki.tenforward.social/doku.ph…

News on potential collapse of Twitter

Until now I hadn’t appreciated that were very serious structural problems at Twitter. I thought Elon would make it messy, but it would robustly continue. This below, however, is starting to make me much more concerned.

I came across to Mastodon out of curiosity, fun, sense of opportunity & respect for the concept. Now I’m thinking it’s a vital hedge for us all against serious Twitter risks, including collapse.

a 1/ Just want to put this news in plain
language for people.

Senior people at Twitter have resigned in
the last 48 hours. We now now why. They
said in private Slack channels that
@​elonmusk is so desperate to recoup his

money, he’s taking crazy risks with YOUR
privacy and safety.

2/ Right now, Twitter is extremely
hackable. That puts every user here
at extreme risk for DM leaks,
identity theft and surveillance.

Elon doesn’t care. He wants his
money. So they resigned. And top
lawyers told Twitter employees to
get whistleblower protections.

Facebook has lost more in absolute terms
over the past month. But Facebook
remains a viable company, almost $300
billion in market capitalization. It's highly
uncertain that Twitter will still exist by
Christmas.

Possible outcomes, ranked by likelihood
(high to low)

1) Twitter is sold for pennies on the dollar.

2) Bankers foreclose and Twitter goes
bust.

3) Servers fail and Twitter goes dark.
4) Divine intervention saves Twitter.

5)Musk's plans somehow work.

Den válečných veteránů
vlcimak.cz

Na polích ve Flandrech divoké máky rostou,
tam mezi kříži, řada za řadou.
Zde ležíme. Nahoře mezi červánky,
je možná slyšet zpívat skřivánky,
zde dole kanóny jen svojí píseň řvou.
My už však nevstanem a je to možná zdání,
Že včera ještě žili jsme a byli milováni.
Teď jenom tiše ležíme
na polích flanderských.

Co aktuálně čtete?

Já zrovna dočetl Mokrou rybu a vrhl se na Tichého zabijáka. Obě to jsou detektivní knihy od německého autora Volkera Kutschera , jedná se o 1. a 2. díl ze série a odehrávají se v meziválečném Německu. Podle kníh byl natočen seriál Babylon Berlín.

Já mám sérii dočtenou, akorát jsem původně začal číst až od 4. dílu, protože jsem si toho v knihovně nevšiml. Tím, že se případy neprolínají, tak to ani nevadilo a já tak dnes jen doháním dluh :D

In the next episode of my #podcast, Mosen at Large, I'm devoting an hour to Mastodon from a #blindness perspective. As well as discussing some important cultural issues, I'll provide an audio demonstration of using the #web interface and the Metatext #iOS client with a #ScreenReader. A transcript will be available too, for maximum #accessibility. It will be available everywhere you get podcasts. More details here. mosen.org/malppreview0206/
