Acudo a #Fediverso para ver si alguien ha usado estos relojes de muñeca vibradores y me pueda comentar el nivel real de potencia vibratoria que tienen. La alarma me importa cero, porque no la oigo sin audífonos y necesito el reloj para despertarme a tiempo e ir a trabajar.

Sería genial que impulsaráis el Toot por si alguien con discapacidad auditiva también lo ha usado y me puede ayudar.

Blunt and salty reminder that in 2010, leaked chat transcripts included Zuck offering up user data he gathered on Harvard students. When asked how he got it, his response was:

“People just submitted it. I don’t know why. They ‘trust me’ - dumb fucks.”

Folks, have you tried the new Thunderbird 115 Beta 3 and found any access issues? Since this will become the official release in a few weeks, I decided to try it - with NVDA - and found that some controls make it more difficult to move from the folder tree to the message list, or message tree, via Tab/SHIFT+Tab. So any hints re how to hide/remove these controls would be welcome.

So, finally, Libadwaita's tabs will be announced by screen readers. Yes, that should have been done from the start, but at least it will be done now, or, at least, when gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libadwa… is merged.

Da bin ich ein Wochenende weniger online, weil ich anderweitig gearbeitet habe, und schon explodiert das #Fediverse und es geht um #Meta-Instanzen und sehr berechtigten Protest dagegen.

fedipact.online/

Ich bin ehrlich fassungslos.

@markus wir müssen uns für dresden.network mal mit was auseinander setzen.

Und falls es irgendwer vergessen haben sollte, warum das Fediverse so gut ist und funktioniert, wie es eben funktioniert, habe ich hier nochmal 2 meiner Sticker dabei.

Freie dezentrale Netze statt datenfressender Monopole

Social Media? Machen wir selbst!

dang, I'd love to participate in this because I have so many questions about Google calendar and why it's so bad 😞 Unfortunately I'm traveling all day so I won't be able to.

Calendar in thunderbird is generally not awful, but when I use it at work with the Google calendar integration I get some of the worst bugs. I know it's not thunderbird's fault, because Google's calendar product sucks immensely, but some pro tips and ways to make it integrate nicer would be appreciated 🙏🏻

#AudioMo
On March 12, 2011, I was (virtually) introduced to a sugar glider through a Twitter follower. The "crabbing" sound it made got me thinking about how it would sound if a mutant sugar glider went on a destructive rampage. Since I didn't have a mutant sugar glider on-hand, I did the next best thing, and this happened.
Meet Killer Sidney, the godzilla of formerly small creatures... or something like that.

warning: long post ahead; probably screenreader unfriendly

i wonder would it be possible to add some sort of "identity servers" to fedi so that, let's say i'm @lina@lina.moe even tho i'm using a mastodon instance hosted elsewhere

could see that as a hierarchy? of keypairs
let's say i use tech.lgbt as my mastodon server, meaning it has generated a keypair, perhaps `tech.lgbt/@lina@lina.moe#mainkey`
identity server would then sign the public key, so the Actor object would have this?
```
{
// ...
"identity": "lina.moe/lina",
"publicKeyPem": {
"id": "tech.lgbt/@lina@lina.moe#maink…",
"publicKeyPem": "...",
"signature": "..."
}
}
```
and the identity server would be able to verify the signature to say "yes that's lina" or "no she's being impersonated"

please boost so that i get feedback on how weird and impossible this idea is and maybe if someone has actually implemented smth similar before 🥺

I know the feeling 😊 but for now, it's just putting ideas in text and brainstorming!

Great write-up, makes the idea a lot clearer!

So as I understand it now, the identity server verifies a person's identity claims (or aliases) and stores the result?

I'm not very knowledgeable with activitypub so this may be where my confusion is coming from

@keyoxide yup, so a client would basically send "[this person] has [this identity] in their actor info, is that actually them?" and judge based on the identity server's response

also the client can verify the public key signature but doing *just* that might result in a bit of unwanted behavior: if the user has revoked a key/alias on the identity server the main/identity keypair doesn't get regenerated, so the signature would be still valid, and that's why this can only be used as a means of "if the signature check fails they're definitely being impersonated" :)

@SylvieLorxu just released Catima v2.24.2 (available on GitHub, F-Droid and Google Play should follow soon) with various RTL fixes, which I'm glad to have been able to contribute to.

I hope we caught them all, but neither of us uses an RTL language ourselves; if you do, testing would be very much appreciated.

There is a strong rumour going round that some Fediverse developers and admins have held secret discussions with Meta/Facebook under NDAs.

The Fediverse is supposed to be an alliance of open projects built by a broad grassroots base. Its developers are not supposed to hold secret backroom discussions with people who have a horrific track record (theguardian.com/technology/202…).

Facebook/Meta is in effect a sociopathic corporation (buzzfeednews.com/article/ryanm…). Nothing good will come of talking to them.

@Nuno @amitten Well, I'd say it depends a lot on the concrete situation. Many #activitypub devs have seen how historically companies like Meta & Google have applied a Trojan horse strategy, to eventually take over the small spaces that decentralized and/or FOSS projects had opened. The #XMPP case comes to mind, but it also encompasses how the whole web has become.

If to put in place measures to avoid that happening to the #Fediverse is being a fanatic, long live the fanatics! 😃
