More Stickers are needing to be designed. The Fediverse Stickers are now on https://vex.blue/shop/ so you can order them. But what is the next stickers you'd love to see? Any artists wanna work together to create something unique for the Fediverse together? #Stickers #Fediverse #FediverseMerch #FediverseMarketing #Marketing #SmallBusiness #Fedi #Mastodon #Sharkey #ActivityPub #Misskey #PixelFed #Loops #PeerTube

@blog@shkspr.mobi Such a great read. Thank you for the thoroughness. I loved this. We need a new way to measure the #smallSocial effect. Right now people saw we fail because they only look at one platform. #BigTech had to invent "monthly active users" to help people understand their "value". They're trying to measure us the same, but we're nowhere near the same. We're an evolution and no one will ever truly know how many of us there are. So I beg folks, don't look at one or two or three instances and say that because some arbitrary number goes down that we're losing or dieing. No no no. We're growing and learning and finding ways that Big Tech NEVER wanted to exist. Just because they use a yard stick doesn't mean we need to be constrained by that. EVERYONE please keep up the incredible work. I'll fight for this the #restOfMyLife. How about all of you? #RomL #smallSocial #smallWeb #fedi #Fediverse

localfirst.

I wonder if people know how to have fun with a computer without social media, let alone without the web in general, let alone without the internet in general. Some of the most fun I’ve had recently was dinking around with #Plan9 with nothing more than a bunch of manpages and the occasional web lookup via #Mothra (a web browser who’s capabilities closely match #Dillo — very web 1.0)

Shameless plug(s): https://rldane.space/i-loved-computers-before-the-internet-was-a-thing.html https://rldane.space/web-10-is-unironically-going-great.html

text-bias. terminals, CLIs, shells.

I love the fact that plain text has more or less won. Markdown. JSON. XML, umm, yeah. XD

Markdown.

MARK the FRICK [DOWWWWWWWWN] I was literally writing Uni class notes in MS Word until I discovered Markdown (not until after abandoning grad school, sadly). When I learned about it, I was like,

“This is a UNIX system, I know thi—“

COUGH

I mean,

“This is basically just #WikkaWiki or early #TiddlyWiki markdown! I already know this!!”

And I’ve loved it ever since, like 7 years, now.

decentralized. p2p. e2ee. no surveillance supported, allowed or even possible.

The glazed-eyed look when I tell people that their security cameras could be e2ee’d, that they didn’t have to give some creepy corpo a 24/7 view into their kids bedrooms. Mein gott

middle finger to the rentier & grifter class.

Thank God for the #fediverse for teaching me terms like “grifter,” “rent-seeking,” and the like. Y’all have ruined this Texas boy 🤣

I was talking to my aunt a few months ago, and this totally white lady raised by conservative Christians said, “Man, capitalism just ruins everything!”

My immediate response: “DEAR GOD, [NAME], THEY HAVE RUINED YOU!!!” 😂

anti-AI caltrops the norm.

YAS. I wanna see TONS of anti-AI honeypots ;) There needs to be a service called amislopornot.com that lets you punch in a git repo URL and tells you if there’s any agents.md, claude, or copilot contributions. #Fedi, make this happen! 😆

return to compute efficiency (where every pixel, character, cycle and bit is precious and not to be wasted – unless its for sake of funny cat videos, and even that the only exception. ok also dogs in costumes. no other exceptions. maybe a re-binge of Firefly. literally no other exceptions, however. unless Minecraft has new skins avail. again: last possible exception.

Make .GIF for still images again. It was never meant to be used for animations. 😥 The fact that you can effortlessly convert an animated GIF to mp4 in like a few seconds with ffmpeg, shave off no less than half the storage with no perceptible loss of quality (on a highly dithered image, to boot!) really tells you it’s just not meant for that.

the important point is to aspire to be a vegan even while mouth stuffed with fresh bacon.)

This is the last sentence that EVER needs be writ. Literature is now declared COMPLETE. I have a B.S. in Literary Studies, I have the auttorritaah!!!

I’ve tried Tusky and Fedilab for Masto. Neither is terrible but like, both have probs that mean I have to use both.

Tusky:

No quote support (still)
Doesn’t find all replies
Emoji support weird

Fedilab:

Can’t load comments in long reply chain
Refresh doesn’t always work
Hard to follow complex convos

…so what else is there to try?

Nieregularna przypominajka, że aby rozmawiać pomiędzy sieciami (fediversum/mastodon i bluesky) trzeba otworzyć bramkę śledząc od strony #fedi @bsky.brid.gy, a od strony #bluesky @ap.brid.gy Oraz O.o. co to jest z tą możliwością odpowiedzi? Nie widziałem tego wcześniej. @74@101010.pl dobrze pamiętam, że masz tam za płotem niezbramkowane konto? odpowiedz mi proszę na tego tootka. #test

(Linux news in previous posts) FOSS NEWS Odysee receives huge UI improvements and some new features: new video player (mimicking YouTube's video player), home page top slide now displays a channel preview the 3 latest videos and a follow button, mini video player when hovering a video's thumbnail, floating player, search field on channel > Content pages, revamped content upload flow divided into multiple pages, Advanced Editor for writing comments (with text formatting buttons), favicons displayed next to links in text posts and comments FreeTube also received some UI revamp: new video player (also somewhat similar to YouTube's), some text changed to first letter uppercase instead of all uppercase, icons added to subscription page (Why does everyone copy YouTube's video player?

Okay, here's a long shot for the #Fedi hive mind. If you are in the intersection of "#musician or musician-adjacent in the 1980s" and "keyboard / #synthesizer aficionado", this one is for you. In the mid- to late-80s, I used to spend a lot of time in music / #instrument stores (not selling CDs, selling guitars and amps and drums and whatnot). Synthesizer tech was advancing rapidly at this point, with digital starting to overtake analog by leaps and bounds. At some point, one of the stores got a new #keyboard model in. I can't swear to it, but I think it was either a #Roland or a #Korg. This one had a floppy drive built in, on the side of the #synth. And they had a demo on a floppy disk that was incredible at the time. It wasn't an official #demo disk. It was a normal consumer floppy, presumably copied far and wide. Hand-Sharpied on it was the name/title "Amin Phone". It was a musical, bright and upbeat piece, rock/pop, maybe 30s long, and included digital samples of a person's voice. The entire thing was a ridiculous #answering machine outgoing #message. I think there was even a sampled voice at the end taken from someone leaving a message, commenting on it being over-the-top or something. "Amin phone" is unsearchable on the 'net. Everyone has a phone, and there are millions of people named Amin or el-Amin. Anyone else remember this? Anyone actually able to point to a recording of it? #KeyboardDemo #SynthDemo #AminPhone #Amin #AnsweringMachine #FloppyDisk

The whole fedi "just make your own instance" is super great until you're trying to like, share things you made. I hate the idea of a second acct but tbh that might be necessary if I want ppl to actually see stuffs. #fedi #mastodon

@fromjason@mastodon.social I think @FediGarden@social.growyourown.services has a good list of +500 servers and a good list overall so that might be a good place to start? https://fedi.garden/tag/larger-post-size/ Not wanting mastodon.social blocked is fair, too; you can choose one that does not block or that limits but does not block. I would say tbh, follow a server for a little bit and pick one that you vibe with, or that has similar interests! #fedi #fediverse

A short introduction:

I’m an introvert, antisocial tech guy 😅 I like to use FOSS software wherever possible. My family considers me a tech nerd, I consider myself a tech noob.

Hobbies: web dev (FosseryWeb), running, kayaking, listening to music (mainly electro), watching tech, gameplay and Backrooms videos.

Age: twenties

Languages: 🇭🇺 (native) / 🇬🇧 (took language exam but I feel like I still suck at it sometimes lol)

LINUX JOURNEY I’m a seasoned distrohopper, started on Linux Mint, went to Kubuntu, Ubuntu, Manjaro, Garuda, Zorin OS, Fedora, LMDE and finally Debian. Also had/have Nobara and PeppermintOS as secondary systems. As for DE, GNOME is my (almost) all-time favorite, tried out Xfce, KDE and Cinnamon, but always returned to GNOME because it’s the most comfortable to me (might also try out COSMIC) On mobile (PinePhone) I went from Manjaro Plasma to Arch Plasma/Phosh, and now I’m on posmarketOS Phosh

MY STANCE ON PRIVACY I care about my privacy, although I don’t have the highest threat model, like to keep balance between privacy and convenience (although convenience is a bit of a subjective thing, some might consider right clicking to copy username then password from KeePassXC inconvenient, I don’t lol).

PROGRAMS I USE Favorite programs:

LibreWolf
OBS Studio
Krita
KeePassXC
FreeTube
yt-dlp
Fluent Reader
Haruna
Joplin
Anki

Other programs I use:

Brave (for websites that don’t work in Firefox based browser - shame on those web devs - btw I provide support for all major browser engines on FosseryWeb)
GNOME Boxes
Pulsar
Gajim
Flatseal
Warehouse
Portmaster
Solanum
Switcheroo
Ear Tag
Warp (the FOSS, GTK-based file transfer app, not the proprietary terminal emulator of course)

On mobile:

Amberol
Exercise Timer
CoreArchiver
Angelfish
Kumo

I'm out. Fuck this toxic ass platform. Follow me on Threads if you want to talk to me in the future. I'll leave my account up for a few days just in case any mutuals wanna see this and follow me there. Afterwards, I'll be deleting my Fedi accounts and no longer pushing Fediverse anywhere else. I cannot in good faith recommend a place with such toxicity and no control. #Fediverse #Fedi #SocialMedia #Toxicity

Been back here fucking around on Loops and such for less than 12 hours and have had no less than 10-15 hate comments on my posts already. And they say corporate social media is the problem. More like elitists that think they're better than everyone else.🤦‍♂️🙄 I don't receive this much hate from corporate social media.😒 #Fediverse #Fedi #SocialMedia

#fedi #PSA: As has been documented recently, there is a strong increase of influence campaigns into the #ActivityPub spheres: yes, our communities are now big enough to attract the attention of State and State-adjacent Actors. PLEASE be cautious. If you see something which makes you sad, or angry, please do not engage until you understand why you feel emotional - you may be being manipulated into stronger reactions.
