Buon Natale a tutti gli abitanti del Poliverso! (e qualche novità interessante)
Carissimi iscritti,
prima di passare ai due contenuti informativi CHE VI CONSIGLIAMO DI LEGGERE CON MOLTA ATTENZIONE, vorremmo approfittare del nostro canale di comunicazione per augurare a tutti voi buone feste, in particolare vi auguriamo di trascorrere un Natale rilassante e riflessivo in attesa di un 2025 ricco di soddisfazioni personali e soprattutto ricco di relazioni interpersonali!
Per quello che ci compete, noi amministratori siamo molto contenti: Poliverso è infatti diventata stabilmente l'istanza Friendica con il maggior numero di utenti attivi e noi cercheremo di fare il possibile per rendere vivibile e soddisfacente questo angolo di web e vi chiediamo di diffondere tra i vostri parenti, amici, scopamici (beh, perché no...), ammiratori e conoscenti la notizia dell'esistenza dei nostri tre progetti, tutti integrati grazie al Fediverso:
1) Poliverso.org, per chi vuole vivere il web sociale al massimo delle potenzialità
2) Poliversity.it, per chi ama Mastodon, ma non vuole rinunciare alla possibilità di scrivere post lunghi e formattati
3) Feddit.it, per chi al social network preferisce i contenuti tematici
E se volete farci un regalo per Natale o per la Befana, potete sempre dare un'occhiata alla nostra pagina di supporto su Liberapay it.liberapay.com/poliverso/ o alla pagina dei menu di Ko-Fi ko-fi.com/poliverso
Veniamo quindi alle informazioni:
Come saprete, con Friendica possiamo scegliere di scrivere post con il titolo (come su WordPress) e post senza titolo (come su Mastodon). Uno dei problemi più fastidiosi per chi desidera scrivere post con il titolo è il fatto che gli utenti Mastodon leggeranno il vostro post come se fosse costituito dal solo titolo e, due a capi più in basso, dal link al post originale: questo non è di certo il modo miglior per rendere leggibili e interessanti i vostri post!
Con le ultime release di Friendica abbiamo però la possibilità di modificar un'impostazione per rendere perfettamente leggibili anche i post con il titolo. Ecco come fare:
A) dal proprio account bisogna andare alla pagina delle impostazioni e, da lì, alla voce "Social Network" al link poliverso.org/settings/connect…
B) Selezionando la prima sezione "Impostazione media sociali" e scorrendo in basso si può trovare la voce "Article Mode", con un menu a cascata
C) Delle tre voci disponibili bisogna scegliere "Embed the title in the body"
Ecco, ora i nostri post saranno completamente leggibili da Mastodon!
Raccoon for Friendica sta migliorando a vista d'occhio. Dalle anteprime dei video, al miglioramento della composizione dei messaggi con immagini, fino ad alcuni aggiornamenti alla stessa architettura dell'app, la maturazione di Raccoon for Friendica è quasi conclusa.
Ci sono ancora alcuni aspetti che verranno risolti nella release di fine anno, come la modifica dei messaggi pubblicati, o novità molto interessanti dal punto di vista della visualizzazione, ma oggi Raccoon copre tutte le esigenze dell'utente Friendica, escluse le impostazioni avanzate dell'account che è opportuno gestire sempre dal browser.
Raccoon for Friendica può essere utilizzata anche dagli utenti Mastodon; anzi, al momento è l'unica app per Mastodon che consenta agli utenti di navigare facilmente tra i gruppi Activitypub (comunità Lemmy, gruppi Friendica, gruppi gup.pe o magazine Mbin), che sono oggettivamente difficili da apprezzare per gli utenti Mastodon, qualsiasi sia l'app che utilizzano.
Infine Raccoon for Friendica è l'unica app che consenta agli utenti Mastodon Glitch-soc (come Poliversity.it) di scrivere messaggi formattati sfruttando una barra di formattazione molto intuitiva!

Se volete scaricare proprio l'ultima versione, potete cercare il file .apk a questo link
Se invece volete complimentarvi con lo sviluppatore, potete trovarlo qui:
Chiaramente feddit.it è la più bellissima meravigliosissima istanza Lemmy del mondo, ma da questa settimana non sarà più l'unica a parlare Italiano. Nasce infatti l'istanza diggita.com, un progetto per portare su Lemmy la comunità di diggita.com, uno dei più longevi aggregatori di notizie e commenti
Qui l'elenco delle comunità diggita attive finora
================
E con queste tre notizie abbiamo finito l'ultimo bollettino dell'anno.
Ancora tanti auguri di Buon Natale e a presto!

I’ve been thinking about this a lot over the course of the trial of Dominique Pelicot and his fellow accused: what would a woman do to an unconscious man if she thought no-one would find out?Anna Wharton (White Ink with Anna Wharton)
Today the Parker Solar Probe will get 7 times closer to the Sun than any spacecraft ever has, going faster than any spacecraft ever has - 690,000 kilometers per hour. WHEEEEEE!!!!!!!
But the really cool part is what the newspapers are barely talking about: what it's like down there. The Sun doesn't have a surface like the Earth does, since it's all just hot gas. But it has an "Alfvén surface" - and the probe has penetrated that.
What's the Alfvén surface? In simple terms, it's where the solar wind - the hot gas emitted by the Sun - breaks free of the Sun and shoots out into space. But to understand how cool it is, we need to dig a bit deeper.
After all, how can we say where the solar wind "breaks free of the Sun"?
Hot gas shoots up from the Sun, faster and faster due to its pressure, even though it's pulled down by gravity. At some point it goes faster than the speed of sound! This is the Alfvén surface. Above this surface, the solar wind becomes supersonic, so no disturbances in its flow can affect the Sun below.
But it's even cooler than that, because "sound" in the solar wind is very different from sound on Earth. Here we have air. The Sun has ions - atoms of gas so hot that electrons have been ripped off - interacting with powerful magnetic fields. You can visualize these fields as tight rubber bands, with the ions stuck to them. They vibrate back and forth together!
You could call these vibrations "sound", but the technical term is "Alfvén waves". Alfvén was the one who figured out how fast these waves move. Parker studied the surface where the solar wind's speed exceeds the speed of the Alfvén waves.
And now we've gone deep below that surface!

Excited to share the first of a 2-part deep dive into Estonia's digital journey in our latest Let's Think Digital podcast episode! Estonia looms large in the digital government conversation despite being a small country. What led to it becoming a global digital government leader?
As always, you can check out the episode on our website at: thinkdigital.ca/podcast/welcom… or on your favourite podcast platform!
Follow the digital government space long enough and you will hear about Estonia. Despite being a small country of 1.4 million people with an overall eco...thinkdigital.ca
I really enjoyed @RyanAndrosoff #ThinkDigital #Podcast episode Welcome to Estonia. In Estonia I was struck about their investment in democracy and trust, as they build their digital #government.
#DigitalGovernment requires #Trust and this needs to be demonstrated.
Trust is everything. It’s clear we’re in a moment in time where people do not trust their governments. There is skepticism about the impact of big t...thinkdigital.ca

Yesterday, I made a silly production for a group of friends. We like to sometimes welcome each other to the start of whatever week number of the year it happens to be.
In 2023, week 52 started on Christmas Day, so I made a little "Merry Weeksmas!" production using Elevenlabs, featuring the Ssanta voice, and a guy called Lars, who likes gongs.
Lots of inside jokes that will be somewhat familiar to those who listened to my show, Things and stuff, quite a while back, on a now-defunct internet radio station called TBRN.
I had every intention of doing something short and sweet, but what actually came out was an 18 minute, 25 second long pretty much full-on audio drama thing.
Santa ends up in a car accident and misses Christmas. Lars has a fight with his wife. Is Christmas ruined, or are you just being welcomed to week 52 in a ridiculous way?
Again, lots of inside jokes, including amateur radio references, but hopefully you'll enjoy even if you don't get them, or know that they are there to be gotten. I'll admit, I had way too much fun putting this stupid thing together. I don't get to do creative production much anymore.
Featuring a few tracks from @Onj. my Ableton Move even gets a short cameo. So does my old Yamaha Motif Classic.
I should also mention that I don't speak German. Some things may not make sense. I'm OK with that, personally, because this is a silly production.
If you're bored, click here and hear what this is all about, I guess...

Straight from a studio engineer who released this autobiography for free: For those who are interested. These recollections of my time as a UK recording engineer look back on an era when capture of a performance and a good sound were paramount. They could only be achieved using ‘ears’ and ingenuity supported by minimal technology unassisted by computers, sequencers or plug-ins, none of which existed in studios at the time.
