Today I'm doing a deep dive into the use of #alttext on social media platforms, comparing and contrasting habits.

Out of curiosity, when you publish a Fediverse post with a photo, do you use alt text?

¿Me podéis recomendar autoras de fantasía? Tengo una amiga que dejó de leer fantasía hace años y ahora ha vuelto, pero dice que ve red flags y actitudes machistas en la mayoría de lo que leía.

Le he querido recomendar fantasía escrita por mujeres y por ahora he dicho:

- “La tierra fragmentada” de N.K. Jemisin
- La trilogía de Escolomancia de Naomi Novik
- La trilogía de Binti, de Nnedi Okorafor

A Laura Gallego la conoce y le gusta.

Se agradece el retoot

Hello everyone! We've just made the first release candidate for version 0.17.0 of GoToSocial Adventurous admins who want to try the new features and help us spotting bugs can get the release from below:

github.com/superseriousbusines…

⚠️ This release contains several database migrations which will run the first time you start up this new version. Be sure not to interrupt this migration process. This will take anywhere between a few seconds and an hour or even more (on slower hardware / big databases). Please be patient! Back up your database file before updating! We had to rejig the entire statuses table to introduce interaction policies (see below). ⚠️

Release highlights:

• Interaction policies: This release gives you the ability to set interaction policies on your statuses using the settings panel. Interaction policies let you determine who can reply to, like, or boost your statuses. You can accept or reject interactions as you wish; accepted replies will be added to your replies collection, and unwanted replies will be dropped. This feature is still a work-in-progress as we will almost certainly have some kinks to work out in terms of implementation etc, but we wanted to get it into people's hands as quickly as possible.

• Much wider range of support for different media types: In this release we've embedded a webassembly build of ffmpeg into the GoToSocial binary, so that users can post many different types of media than previously, including mp3, flac, and other audio types, and many more video types. Admins: you don't need to have ffmpeg installed on your server for this to work.
• Audio player: to complement the new media types, we adapted our current video player to also play audio, so people visiting your profile can play MP3s and FLACs. Album art is supported when embedded in the audio file!
• Header/avatar alt text: You can now set alt-text for your avatar + header images, so that screenreader users visiting your profile can read a description of your beautiful face.
• Better threading model for statuses: On the web view of a thread, conversations are now indented at different levels, to make it easier to see who's replying to whom.
• Prefers-reduced-motion is now supported, so that folks with animations turned off in their operating system or browser aren't confronted with lots of animation when they open your profile.
• Conversations view: You can now view a list of your direct message conversations, making it much easier to keep track of who you're talking to.
• Import/export csv files: It's now possible to import Mastodon-compatible CSV files for accounts you follow and accounts you block, making it much easier to migrate across instances. Export of these files is supported too.
• Exclusive lists: You can now mark lists as "exclusive", which means that posts from accounts in an exclusive list will show up only in that list and not in your home timeline.
• Show/hide posts on your profile: Previously only Public posts were shown on your web profile. This is still the default, but you can now choose to show unlisted posts on your web profile too (the Mastodon default), or to show no posts at all.
• Lots of new themes: solarized, brutalist, ecks pee, and more.
• Store worker queue on restart: when you stop the instance, pending tasks are stored into the database, and loaded again when you start up the instance, so that no tasks get lost between restarts.

Thanks for reading!

Darf ein evangelischer Theologe hinter die #Allmacht Gottes ein Fragezeichen setzen? Beginnt nicht das Apostolische #Glaubensbekenntnis mit der #Omnipotenz Gottes? Ich habe in der Bibel und bei #Bonhoeffer nachgelesen. Mein Blogbeitrag dieses Sonntags.

My wife Kirsten @MoonCat and I decided to give potential podcasting a go. I know, 'Not another one?' But we hope this might be a bit of light entertainment for you.
Consider this a pilot to see how things go.

In this first episode we discuss a somewhat annoying Tiktok trend I heard about in a video, the point of hugging and our love of the 'Cautionary Tales' podcast from Tim Harford.

Me entering my number in a form field: *enters 3 numbers*

Form field: NO NO, that's an invalid phone number

Me: *enters the next three numbers*

Form field: what the hell? NO, this is invalid

Me: *finishes the last four numbers*

Form field: Ohhh I get it now! Yeah that's valid

kámo aké zrkadlo som našiel, presne toto som potreboval

edit: neprimerane ťažké 🤔

C2S server for matrix.org accounts is blocked in Russia using deep packet inspection (DPI). That means people can no longer access their accounts without resorting to censorship circumvention technology.

The website and S2S federation server are still reachable from Russia.

How effective are bug bounties in securing critical, open source infrastructure? On 30 Sep 2024 in Berlin, following a keynote by Sabine Grützmacher (MdB), Dr. Ryan Ellis will present his research and dive into FOSS, security, and the public interest with an expert panel.

Participated in #matrixconf, and really liked their photo privacy policy:

Black lanyard=photos OK White lanyard=Please no photo

Simple, but very effective.

🚨 NEW: Telegram now shares users’ IP addresses and phone numbers to governments when legally required as Bloomberg reports.

What app will you be switching to?
