On the second Musk special project I was on (the verification badge updates) we had to track what we were working on hourly, in a spreadsheet. We were told this was a request from the new leadership because there was a “trust deficit.”

Every instances with fresh #Mastodon version. It was merged month ago into main branch.

Before you even consider donating more money to an already well-funded cis white men who's got a terrible track record when it comes to approving features that marginalized people have been asking for, maybe send that cash to marginalized folks who built community protection features like Marcia & Ginger, who are in much more precarious situations?

I've created a small, incomplete, list of instances with moderators of color.

The list and suggestions became to much to keep up on my own, so here is a Google document, docs.google.com/document/d/12p…

Here's how to move accounts and take your followers with you docs.joinmastodon.org/user/mov…

My blog post describing how we cut #Firefox out-of-memory crashes by more than 70% with one weird trick is out: hacks.mozilla.org/2022/11/impr…

The title is not click-bait, I swear, it *is* one weird trick.

Mastodon resembles Usenet in a number of ways, such as:
Decentralized
Your server affects what content you can see
Servers run by volunteers
No full-text search
Hashtags on Mastodon are like newsgroups
Content presented chronologically, not by an algorithm
Conversations are threaded
There are subject lines (CWs)
Old content expires (people are encouraged to automatically expire their old toots to save space)
Strong culture
Repeated waves of newbies 😉

I see two big differences between Usenet and the Fediverse.
The biggest is that you can follow people and boost content to your followers. Usenet categorizes content asking just one axis, "what". Mastodon has both "what" and "who".
Mastodon content isn't replicated, which means archiving old content comprehensively isn't possible and there's less resilience to temporary and permanent outages. It's transient by design.

I am hiring at least two PhD students in the next year to study social influences on security and privacy, decentralized computing, and "dangerous speech." Please pass along to the promising students you know. cci.charlotte.edu/academics/so…

Dziś po godz. 19:00 na antenie Tyfloradia wraz z @pitermach i @jaczad będziemy prezentować Mastodona z perspektywy dostępności dla osób z dysfunkcją wzroku. Czym jest Mastodon, aspekty administracji i czym go obsłużyć przy użyciu czytnika ekranu, o tym wszystkim postaramy się opowiedzieć. Zapraszamy! tyflopodcast.net/posluchaj-tyf… lub na naszym fanpage FB: facebook.com/tyflopodcast/, a także Youtube: youtube.com/tyflopodcast

Just downloaded my Twitter archive again and converted it to Markdown, including high-res images this time. I suggest you do the same if you want a backup of your data that is independent of Twitter’s servers and free from obfuscated t.co links.

Here’s a quick how-to:

Stephen A Smith has a podcast called Know Mercy I listen to.

I have zero interest in sports and he's a professional sportscaster on ESPN, but he doesn't talk about sports much on the podcast. He has a beautiful dynamic speaking style and what he says about work, race, morality the issues of our time ring true to me.

Heute ist Google gegen Deutschland vor Gericht. Sie haben uns als Zeugen geladen. Wir konnten nicht nein sagen.

Hier ist unsere Stellungnahme.

netzpolitik.org/2022/satire-mi…

Is there a communication channel among the network of Mastodon server moderators? A consensus norm? The people who created the internet used email and a loose decision protocol. The shared norm that enabled their successful collaboration: "We reject: kings, presidents, and voting. We believe in: rough consensus and running code," was coined by David Clark in 1992.

Currently 452 of us in the "Mastodon Administrators" @matrix channel. Also a side channel for moderation specific stuff.

Imagine you could install any software on any device. The devices you own that don't receive updates anymore, or where you found out that the software is full of ads/tracking. You could replace it, maybe with a Linux distro like postmarketOS running mainline. These devices wouldn't need to be electronic waste. We signed @fsfe's #openletter to the EU to make this happen.

You can sign it, too!

Die Argumentation der EU Kommission zur #Chatkontrolle wird auch immer abstruser. Erst wird der Scan persönlicher Kommunikation mit Malware-Scans verglichen – und jetzt heißt es, da man "Schurkenstaaten" ja auch nicht vom Missbrauch der Technologie abhalten könne, könne man auch gleich selbst missbrauchen?

Liebe @EU_Commission – welche Sorte Lack war das? Legt doch bitte EURE Chats dazu mal offen.

Mimochodem, víte co je cool drobnost, byť trochu za zenitem?

RSS. Každý účet na Mastodonu má integrovaný RSS feed - stačí za adresu profilu dát ".rss".

To znamená, že ani nemusíte mít účet na Mastodonu, a můžete mít veřejné příspěvky nějaké instituce, novin nebo konkrétního člověka jako feed třeba v Thunderbirdu nebo Outlooku.

Pro snadný odběr rychlých a krátkých informací bez nutnosti se učit a instalovat něco nového mi to přijde jako skvělá maličkost.

Neřekl bych za zenitem. Není lepší a univerzálnější způsob jak odebírat zprávy z mnoha zdrojů.

Naopak mě štve, když nějaká služba RSS neimplementuje. Třeba iVysílání. Několikrát jsem jim psal a vždy se dočkal jen odpovědi, že to předali software týmu, ale teď to nemá prioritu. Přitim to tuším jede na drupalu, tak by to snad stačilo jen nakonfigurovat.

So there's a way to get the Steam app to play nice with screen readers.

Go to your desktop and highlight your Steam icon. Open your applications menu, go to properties and add -gamepadui to the end of the string. Make sure there's a space between the quote marker and the dash or it won't work.

You might have to login again, but this throws the app into a beta of the Steam Deck UI which fuck me sideways is very NVDA friendly. There's some bugs here and there, but this is lightyears better than what we had to deal with before.
