2/2 Prosím šiřte komiks mezi uživatele. Obzvláště takové, co berou prohlížeč jako jednoduchou aplikaci pro zobrazování stránek. Vysvětlete jim, jak velkou roli dnes prohlížeč hraje a jaké to má důsledky.

Závěrem díky @leah za komiks a umožnění českého překladu. A také několika nejmenovaným pomocníkům za jejich připomínky a korektury.

Automatisierte Scans: Microsoft sperrt Kunden unangekündigt für immer aus

Dass Anbieter wie Google oder Microsoft automatisiert nach strafbaren Inhalten suchen, weiß nicht jeder. Gerät man ins Visier, sind Konto und Inhalte verloren.

blocked instances, meta

i aggregated a list of the 500 most defederated instances from publicly available block lists. i think it's a good base for instance admins to curate their own block list. #fediblock #data

An update from European Sleeper (in Dutch): treinreiziger.nl/european-slee…

TL;DR: They are hoping to start the Prague train in spring but they still don’t have carriages nor a path for the return journey south of Dresden. The planned train to southern France is off the table for the time being because of lack of carriages, lack of locomotives that can run through, and lack of operators for the French bit.

Aha, tak jinak.Chaos.social zřejmě vydává ten blocklist, koho máme povinně blokovat. Tak jako já nevím. Pro začátek to asi nejsou servery, kde byste si měli hledat kamarády. Ale úplně začínat blokováním, dřív než si někdo zablokuje nás, se mi taky nechce...

::: CPU-X needs new contributors and -or a maintainer!

CPU-X is a CPU-Z equivalent from Windows realm.

The developer: "I lost interest in developing this software, and I do not plan to make major changes in the future.

It bores me to develop new features, and I do not want to keep doing it anymore.

I work on my free time, but I have changed during these years and I want to do something else now."

Are you a software developer and interested in helping / contacting the current lead of the project for future plans?

I just wrote a #blog post detailing my adventures with the Icon #Linux #PDA and the attempts to #emulate it with #QEMU.
Sorry for not formatting the command-line blocks properly, I wasn't sure how to do it in Markdown and then the Pandoc + Wordpress formatter combination messed it up even more so I had to stitch it up together my self.
I really need to find some #Wordpress #Markdown plugin.
Let me know what you think!

You might have seen me before on your TL if you receive posts from potate.space, but I might aswell do another #introduction

I'm Denise, a 20yo trans girl into #sysadmin and #DevOps, running my own libre hoster over at 4201337.xyz, with #typescript experience, currently learning #C.

Since I'm in a baby, barely federated instance, reboosts would be appreciated so that I can increase the diversity in my stream :)

Have a nice day ❤

I’ve enabled automatic translations on social.lol. Had to hunt around for the setup process, which I couldn’t find documented anywhere, so I wrote this for anyone else who’s looking to do this: paste.lol/adam/mastodon-transl…

meta Some useful tips and tricks for Mastodon

The official Mastodon app seems to have a bug when posting an image. Sometimes it will let you compose the post but when you add the image, the Publish button is greyed out. There are other apps that are good, for example, Metatext and Toot! on iOS, and Tusky on Android.
-----------------------------------------------------
There is an Advanced web interface that looks like Tweetdeck. You can enable it in Settings, Appearance.
-----------------------------------------------------
Putting plain text into the 'Search or paste URL' box at the top left of the web interface shows results from your own posts or posts that you have boosted, favourited, or been mentioned in. You can also search for user names, display names, and hashtags located in the body of posts. Putting a hashtag into a Content Warning doesn't work. It won't be clickable and might not be searchable unless someone else has used it in the body of a post.
-----------------------------------------------------
If you find a post on another Mastodon instance and want to boost it on your own instance, click the … menu and then Copy Link. Go back to your own instance, paste the link into the Search box and press Enter. The post will appear below the Search box, and you can boost it from there.
-----------------------------------------------------
You can create Filters to block posts containing certain pieces of text from being displayed in your Home feed. If you want, the filter can hide the post behind a Content Warning so that you can decide whether to view it or not.
-----------------------------------------------------
In the Advanced web interface, you can search for a hashtag, click the result and it will appear in its own column. You can then click the column settings icon at the top right and Pin the column. You can add more tags to the same column, if you like.
-----------------------------------------------------
If you boost a post and the author edits it, you will get a notification so that you know that it has been edited.
-----------------------------------------------------
It's the custom on Mastodon that if you're posting about Mastodon itself, you put a context warning (CW) of "Meta" so that people's timelines aren't flooded with things they don't want or need to see. Likewise, posts about Twitter can be hidden behind a CW: Twitter (or birdsite, birbsite, hellsite, tw). "CW: meta, bird" should be an obvious one.
-----------------------------------------------------
When you're writing hashtags that are a combination of several words, please use "camel case" (#CamelCase) so that screenreaders used by people with impaired vision can pronounce them properly.
-----------------------------------------------------
Mastodon has its own thread unroller: mastodon.social/@threadunrolle…
-----------------------------------------------------
If you go into Settings in Mastodon's web interface and click on Other, you'll see a list of languages at the bottom which you can use to control which posts you'll see.
This works well if you select which language your own posts are in. If you make a post in a different language from your default, select that language using the button at the bottom of the edit box before you post. This way, it can be filtered out on other people's feeds if they choose not to see posts in that language.
-----------------------------------------------------
When posting images, please add Alt Text. This allows sight-impaired people using screenreaders to know what is in the pictures. Let's keep the Fediverse friendly to everyone.
-----------------------------------------------------
Please use a strong password to log in to your server. If you haven't already done so, make sure you have activated 2-Factor Authentication (2FA) in your Settings. This will keep you and everyone else safe. There are a number of good 2FA apps available in the Apple and Google app stores. In fact, iCloud Keychain on an Apple device can be used to generate 2FA keys. See this article for details: appleinsider.com/inside/icloud…

“Helping other people use technology requires humility: you have to want to help them realize their goals, which may be totally unlike your own. You have to listen carefully and take care not to make assumptions about how they ‘should’ use tech. You may be a tech expert, but they are experts on themselves.” - @pluralistic

Here's a #mastoadmin tip: Use your powers of custom CSS to make Mastodon more accessible. The default link highlight colour (both 3.x blue and 4.x purple) contrasts are not WCAG compliant.

Illustrated below – we also highlight mentions and hashtags like links to make them easier to see – I find the default of "usernames are not quite white, but it's hard to see the difference" pretty distracting.

there's a CSS hack going around to change the text of the "publish" button back to "toot"

that will work

but if you're an instance admin and want to do it via changing the code instead, which is a little cleaner, here u go git.hollymcfarland.com/monorai…

I'm helping people join Mastodon & the Fediverse this Saturday 1pm EST at @iffybooks, both in-person and virtually: iffybooks.net/event/mastodon-o…

To help me teach newbies the basics, could you please share with me any questions you have, no matter how "stupid" the question may seem to you? Or, send me tips that helped you get your bearings in this new virtual neighborhood.

I've been on Mastodon since 2018 so I'm sure I'm forgetting some roadblocks, and some things have changed for onboarding people.
