pivot to AI was so 2024. 2025 is going to be all about pivot to the niche thing i am into
in reply to Andy Wingo

I'd be into "pivot to decentralization" (minus the blockchain grift), "pivot to self-hosting", or "pivot to performance".


@Friendica Support @Libranet Support
Can I follow friends on #BlueSky from #Friendica (and specifically from Libranet)? I haven't managed so far. I tried searching for their profile URL with /rss at the end, but nothing is found. I've seen some conversations about this, but couldn't find a way to make it work.

Thanks!

Sorry, this isn't helping me. I can't follow @bsky.brid.gy because I can't find it. I search for it and nothing is found. I'm not on bluesky, I have friends who are.

I've managed to find one friend by adding /rss to her profile. I can see her posts, but I can't like or comment. I can only see the photos and comments if I go to the link.

If you do not want to use the privacy-friendly solution in Friendica, you can use @bsky.brid.gy@bsky.brid.gy.

However, this solution requires that both (the Bluesky account you want to follow and yourself) must follow the intermediary.

@Matthias I'm missing something. What is the 'privacy friendly solution'?

What you posted above requires a bluesky account, if I understand correctly.

@Noam writes
That is correct. You do have an account with Bluesky. However, Bluesky only sees the Friendica instance and your public posts as soon as you use the Friendica Connector.

Bluesky does not see your IP address, whether you have logged in with a mobile phone or a browser, which operating system you are using and other things that are of interest to companies. Friendica therefore protects you if someone on the other side is interested in your metadata.

With the bridge, you always have another partner on board that you have to trust. This is not the case with the solution via your instance.

8 Best Free and Open Source Network Intrusion Detection Systems lxer.com/module/newswire/ext_l…


A woman takes her lover home during the day while her husband is at work.

Her 9 year old son comes home unexpectedly, sees them, and hides in
the bedroom cupboard to watch.

Just after getting into bed the woman's husband also comes home
unexpectedly, she tells her lover to hide in the cupboard, not
realising that the little boy is in there.

After a little while the little boy says, "Dark in here.

The man, who obviously got a real fright not expecting to hear
anything, let alone from a little boy says, "Yes, it is."

Boy - "I have a football."

Man - "That's nice."

Boy - "Want to buy it?"

Man - "No, thanks."

Boy - "My dad's outside."

Man - "OK, how much?"

Boy - "£100"

In the next few weeks, it happens again that the boy and the lover are
in the cupboard together.

Boy - "Dark in here."

Man - "Yes, it is."

Boy - "I have football boots."

The lover, remembering the last time, asks the boy, "OK How much this time?"

Boy - "£500"

Man - "Sold."

A few days later, the boys' father says to the boy, "Grab your boots
and football, let's go outside and have a game of soccer.

The boy says, "I can't, I sold my ball and boots."

The father asks, "How much did you sell them for and to who?"

The boy says, "To a friend of mine for a £600."

The father says, "That's a terrible thing to do, overcharging your
friend like that". "That's four times what they cost when they were
new, I'm going to take you to church and make you confess your
terrible sin."

They go to the church and the father makes the little boy sit in the
confession booth and he closes the door.

The boy says, "Dark in here".

The priest says, "Don't start that crap again you little toad, you're
in my cupboard now

In my personal de-googleing efforts I've come as far as to ditch @Chrome and to switch my default search engine to @duckduckgo .Now I would love to drop gmail and move to something like @Tutanota. This will involve some work, but seems manageable. After that I would want to move away from Google Maps. This on the other hand seems way more difficult. I still haven't found any other app that contains all the features Google Maps has. #enshittification

What is time sync? When I use this phrase, I'm referring to empathic energy connections which make people want to eat, sleep, and communicate around the same time, without talking to each other about it, from potentially thousands of miles away. AP and I have been doing this for years. But in this case, I'm adopting AP's eat times. And he's borrowing my sleep times. What a weird combination. Oh well. Virtual family time sync ftw.
in reply to Winter blue tardis🇧🇬🇭🇺

@tardis Well Arthur and I go back 18 years, if that says anything. I also do that with at least two friends that I've known for 15+ years. But like you said, there has to be a strong mutual connection.


As posts about Be My Eyes support on the Meta glasses flood your timeline today, please remember that it's only available in five of the world's richest English-speaking countries. Again.

Yeah, again! Bleh, whatever, even the glasses are a fortune here, AI is also not exactly very allowed, although Be My AI is allowed, GPT and PI, specifically the last, are banned from this country's appstore. Nice things get banned in poor countries, folks.

I just asked my Google Home to start a stopwatch. The response: "Sorry, I can't set stopwaqtches anymore on this device.". My question: "Why the heck not?" I mean, the Google home used to be able to set stopwatches. It's a feature that wasn't costing Google anything and it's not like it needed to be maintained. Why on earth would they remove such an obvious and useful feature?
in reply to Al Puzzuoli

Wow, well, first, because it's Google. They can build super cool stuff, and then destroy it when it no longer serves them. Stupid, but whoever says it's not a fact, isn't aware enough of what's going on.
