So I was checking my logs and people report me to me all the time, but I got a report from mas.to, who has defederated with me, which is fine, but what was said got my attention.

They called me racist and said I didn't use content warnings for my content, which we've discussed at length this week, and how entitled it is. We all know that's just white people shit.

But they say I attack people. This is a bald-faced lie. If you look at every single one of my contentious moments with other users on here, they come at me. I don't attack people. I defend myself. 100% of the time. I do not go after people. That's not my thing, and I have zero interest in the lives of bigots and people who just don't like me for whatever reason.

Earlier in the week, I talked about how much understanding there is for bigotry and hate on the fedi but that isn't extended to it's targets.

The situation is with mas.to is a perfect example of this.

I would urge caution for anyone who interacts with that instance as they've shown a tolerance for bigotry but none for people who are harassed and targeted by it.

I am taking the steps, but I am a bit disappointed with the usability of the UI. Sorry, I have to say that.
I can understand that Tutanota cannot use a client application from third parties because of security reasons, but then it should improve a lot the usability, I am missing basic things like changing fonts, or adding more than one email signature, grouping contacts, etc... is there a development roadmap for addressing this "basic" features?

Kia ora toot friends. (Hello in Māori language)
Tonight I am bringing some #transport, #bikes, #cycling, #urbanism and #antiCar #memes.
I hope you enjoy them and are radicalised like I am. Once you start seeing how we've been trapped by #carDependency you cannot unsee it again.
Let's fight for space for people, cities that are walkable, accesible, clean, green and safe.
Of course, please contribute your own memes to the thread and also radicalise your family, workmates and friends!

While it's true that #EVs have dramatically lower emissions when compared to combustion engines, that is only part of the problem.
EVs do not solve congestion, or road mortality (they might be worse as they tend to be heavier).
The production of batteries is very unsustainable and the need for charging infrastructure creates a new set of issues that need to be addressed in our public space. Essentially they need MORE of our cities.

EVs are here to save the automobile industry, not the planet.

When measured by energy required to move people around, it's obvious that the real game changer in the EV field is not a Tesla, or even a car (although microcars come closer). The revolution here is the #ebike.
It's cheaper, safer, more efficient, more fun and it makes users healthier and happier. Although it also shares the problem of sustainability for battery production, the scale of this issue for ebikes is drastically reduced (close to 100x)
And the charging infrastructure already exists.

Back to #Firefox I go! Multi-Account Containers are a killer #privacy feature that only Firefox (and maybe derivatives) has access to.

There's some helper add-ons to further silo #Facebook, #Twitter, and #Google. (That said, I use my own containers for Google to split my accounts)

It's a great little game (no, I did not invent it, just coded this instance). And I know the leaderboard can be hacked, LOL. Still fun.

But it only works if you have the current version of Internet Protocol available to you, so not everyone can see it.

If you can’t get it, ask your ISP why.
Bonus points for…
- There is a problem with that web site (nope)
- it has no IP address (it does)
- nobody asks for IPv6 (you are)
- no web sites are IPv6 only (it is)
- IPv6 is very new (old enough to buy alcohol!)
- what’s IPv6? (Current internet protocol)
- we’re planning IPv6 soon (really? When exactly?)
- nobody uses IPv6 (around 50% google access in US is IPv6, and some countries around 75%, and rising)

in reply to Evan Prodromou

this has to be one of the most under-stated introductions I have seen here!

So let me offer a better one: Evan is one of the reasons we are all here. He is credited as one of the creators of the #ActivityPub protocol:
w3.org/TR/activitypub/

Back in the day (a decade ago), he also used to run the biggest instance of #StatusNet, identi.ca. My old account is still there, even though I have lost access to it:
identi.ca/rysiek

StatusNet was the precursor of fedi.

Welcome, Evan!

TO JOURNALISTS: Please don't use Mastodon for private messages. Instead, use an encrypted messenger.

If you want something decentralized, I suggest XMPP or The Matrix.

Good old fashioned email also works.

There's also an instant messenger known as DeltaChat that's based on email protocols, and sends your chats to email—where they can be stored and archived. delta.chat/en/

I've just published version 1.2 of Audioswitch (my Hammerspoon that allows you to manage your input/output devices with global hotkeys). 1.2 adds a few new things: the ability to speak without VoiceOver, and two new hotkeys (control+shift+l and control+shift+cmd+l to list output and input devices respectively. github.com/thequinbox/audioswi…

Před časem jsem naposlouchal audiografii Arnolda Schwarzeneggera a přišlo mi to dost egoistické. Musím ale říct, že naživo je to docela milý chlapík a umí výborně česky.
