@rysiek metoda na ból z Niemiec, trafiło do spamu bo nie działa ma ból z Polski 😉

@rysiek otwórz maila! Tam na pewno są wszystkie odpowiedzi :)

@rysiek rynek używanych stawów sprowadzanych z Niemiec kwitnie, bo co dziesiąty Polak ma rozwalone kolana od chodzenia po bułki bez prawidłowego przygotowania.

@rysiek The other part of the dilemma: free as in freedom, or free as in free labor?

@rysiek

"free as in puppy"

@rysiek The pile-on that has been going on is ugly and thank you for saying something. Admns put in a lot of time, money, and energy. I’ve only been here since October and I really think those who recently joined should think twice before making accusations about people they know nothing about. Hope people cool down.

@rysiek

Some fedi admins make fedi happen, others break fedi. Not all of them are good, and not all of them are bad.
If you want to choose your community and who can talk to you then you don't need someone else to do this work. There is no need for fedi admins if you use a single-user instance.

If so many admins put so much effort into making decisions for other people then let's decentralize this case too. Let's get rid of admins at all. And let everyone decide.

@rysiek If #FediAdmins are officially accepting hugs then I am sending one to @thomas coz he's the admin of metalhead.club and he works so hard and he rocks 😊
Also to @stux coz he doesn't know it but he helped me with really useful info on Mastodon with his posts when I needed it and I never got round to saying thank you.
Thank you both 🤩

@rysiek Without pseudo-exclusive scarce invites, there is no reason to feel smug and elitist about being there. Might have been an important driving factor.

@rysiek They’re pulling the EXACT same “exclusive access” trick Zuckerberg pulled with Facebook in the early years.

@rysiek Kbemmy? Lekbin?

@rysiek *insert gnu/Linux copypasta but adjusted to kbin/Lemmy*

@rysiek@mstdn.social #Lemmy was what led me to join the #fediverse! I heard of Mastodon before, but didn't felt the need to join as I'm not accustomed to microblogging. I hope the recent spike encourages more users to diversify their social media.

It's going to be cray-cray over then next few days. Manage your spoons well.

The wave of sign-ups will come and go, but burn-out or some bad moderation decisions will affect a community for a long, long time.

It's better to slowly but reliably build a small, resilient, safe space than to try to go hockey-stick on sign-ups only to have people get burnt, abandon their accounts, and tell their friends about it.

We're playing the long game.

Keep calm and be excellent to each other.

#Lemmy #KBin

@rysiek these people have made graphics cards profoundly expensive, have shown no interest in increasing accessibility and disability services, privately celebrated the Dobbs decision, do nothing to ensure equity at their workplaces, and now they're slowly organizing into a religious movement.

This isn't about social reform. This is about power. And this utopia that these people are trying to create would be the most unequal society ever.

This setting should have been default-on, IMVHO.

But that's "water under the dam", quoting one of the best scenes in one of the most under-rated movies out there.

@rysiek @donmelton
Add that to the Brexit shit-list.

@rysiek I think I'll add the term aishittified to my vocabulary.

@rysiek
> but the EU is excluded

ever since GDPR, however flawed it might be, has been introduced, I've liked "not available in EU" as a quick lithmus test for how privacy-friendly a product is.

@rysiek@mstdn.social This is Elon Musk by another name...

@rysiek Coping with a bit of spam is preferable to facilating the overthrow of society. Have some perspective.

@rysiek
Surely the spam won't propogate.. unless someone you follow is boosting it you'll never see it except on the federated feed, and that's just a firehose so you can expect that.

@rysiek
Lets start to change the narrative, I made this from the information on the many branches of the fediverse infographic

@axbom

@rysiek There doesn't appear to be any appreciation that creating a monoculture is problematic in itself, even before you consider whether there's any intent to be harmful. (It's why I quit mastodon.social.)

@rysiek @faoluin One reason I'm a little optimistic is, although I'm on mastodon.social, most people I follow are not. In most social networks, about 10% of the people create about 90% of the content, and these people skew away from the big servers. So there's some systemic pressure for everyone to be good federation members.

But yeah, my slight optimism does not mean I feel I can just shrug and assume everything will be fine. So I'm happy that people are being pushy about good federation

@rysiek @inkscape This article is four years old. Has Dolby or Adobe sued anyone for using the product yet?

@rysiek @inkscape "Adobe is warning some owners of its Creative Cloud…" – Not correct at all. Adobe is the only "owner" of its cloud. Boggles my mind that this can be news to people. You rent rights and own nothing.

@rysiek@mstdn.social

We must get John Hackerspace right on that.

@rysiek How is that even possible?

@rysiek @oblomov where is this blog post?

@rysiek @tchambers Nope. But I set up my own instance since moving accounts including their identity and timeline data isn’t possible, which, to me, would make it too costly. I’m not aware of another way to own my content here. Hence, I can follow that argument, at least partially.

@rysiek so I made a mastodon account to post this, idk if you mentioned this, but bluesky is not federated.

I set up a bluesky "pds" and tested it in the bluesky app. you can't interact with any other pds, like bluesky.social. actors (users) are not replicated into the pds in some way, nor does the jwt token for viewing profiles transfer

here's me trying to load Henry Pickavet's did profile on bluesky from another instance

@rysiek After what Dorsey did to Twitter, I'm surprised that anyone is still willing to join another social network he's involved with

@rysiek nothing pisses me off more than watching a bunch of yuppies congratulate each other
