I do not give Pleroma permission to use my pictures, information, messages or posts, both past and future. With this statement, I give notice to Pleroma it is strictly forbidden to disclose, copy, distribute or take any other action against me based on this profile and or its contents. The content of this profile is private and confidential information. The violation of privacy can be punished by law. Pleroma does not have permission to my share photos or messages. This but for meta 🤣 jokes aside I’m eagerly awaiting their entry to the fediverse with caution. Let’s hope for the best and prepare for the worst, but most of all, let’s not forget we’re all in this together and we all want the same thing more or less, freedom and control over our social presence ❤️

 @dansup I like all of these! My favourites are the second last ones (is this how you say "vorletzte" in English?) from lines 3 and 4 @dansup You did. The color palette gives people a hint what to expect, while the circular nature means the image isn’t getting cut off when used in spots that get trimmed to that. It’s simple, but effective. The others could have worked, and some probably just as well or close enough, but this one clearly isn’t the wrong choice, and that, combined with what I’ve said above, makes it the right one. 😄  There are 3 important components to Loops: 1) Capture & Composing 2) Transcoding & Fan-out 3) Loops UI/Pages I'm almost done 2 & 3 and hope to ship Loops in beta very soon!  @dansup i like this but almost seems like its own social media. Might as well bring back MicroUI and make pixelfed social media for everything 😊   @dansup 🎵 It ain’t my fault that I'm out here gettin’ loose, gotta blame it on my loops, blame it blame it on my loops 🎵 @dansup definitely the best album that year, also one of the best ever. only problem is that it ends! As much as I like seeing pixelfed mentioned so often, it shouldn't come at the expense of devs or users thinking its the only option. The fediverse is much bigger than Mastodon, PeerTube and Pixelfed. I hope we don't forget that. "We have enormous freedom. That’s not a gift that was given to us, it’s a legacy that was left to us by centuries of struggle. By centuries of people that most of whose names are completely forgotten, the ones who created the freedom and the rights we now have, and that will be taken away unless you constantly defend them." - Noam Chomsky

 the term freedom has been stolen by conservatives and libertarians. https://www.thefire.org/research-learn/spirit-liberty-speech-judge-learned-hand-1944 My biggest regret is dropping out of high school when I was 15. I learned how to code in my early 20s to stay out of trouble and it worked. I used to dream of working on a project like pixelfed. Never give up on your dreams! @dansup same kind of story. Quit school at 19. Had a business for 6 years which was mainly a hobby because I was too lazy to study. Did that and some receptionist and pub work for 10 years, then got a professional dev job via hobbies. All I've achieved after that is due to open source portfolio and self learning.  @dansup if it's any consolation, I completed high school but technically failed (I still graduated, but my grade was 45%): me learning how to code during highschool & pouring energy into opensource got me jobs, and highschool is all but irrelevant now (apart from in anxiety/stress dreams) So you're maybe not missing as much as you might think! SSB and Manyverse are neat ideas theoretically, but they can't compete with the fediverse. Imagine having to download gigabytes of data before you could use Mastodon or Pleroma.  IMO anything that can't be viewed in a web browser without relying on any client-side state is destined to fail. You should be able to send people links to things. So this automatically means you can't use any p2p protocol at all for decentralized social media. |
