@Gargron We knew it would happen. Count Vlad wants the USSR back.

The worst part of this is that the rest of the world is joking and posting memes on this while hundreds, if not thousands, are being forced to leave their houses and move to a different country.

I've been able to get my hands on the #TruthSocial source code (they do have a link to it on their website, although their website is not accessible to me).

They have disabled federation features. I absolutely expected that, just confirming it for others. It is just another walled garden.

@Gargron well you certainly made a commendable effort to stick to just PWA. It just really isn't possible, is it?

@gargron
Wish they explained a bit more who would be running the other servers, and how well the distributed data is protected.

If I want to store a terabyte this way, I will take 1 TB on my own disk and 2 TB on other people's drives -- that's not a trivial amount to ask for.

"Mapping the celebrity #NFT complex: Where do celebrities even hear about 'bored apes'? Who is recommending that they buy one? Is this really the best thing any of them can think to do with their money and fame?"

𒃲𒌋𒅗𒆪𒁉🐜💩 💛

@Gargron I had the start of this mapped in 2014 after exploring kutcher and beiber's VC ties. You also have to include William Shatner's ties to mattereum if you wanna see connections between celebs and vitalik's network. On top of that there is also one of the backstreet boys.

Mattereum gets you in to the digital collectables realm ala "digital twins" which can then branch out into tom brady's sport star initiative.

There was a bit of a trend rippling thru shoes for a while too.

It is fascinating how Reddit built a website where you absolutely, under no circumstances, ever want to share a link to it to anybody, because the viewing experience is so bad

@Gargron

Twitter watches this and says "Hold. My. Beer WHOA THERE VIEWER YOU GOTTA SUBSCRIBE TO VIEW ANY MORE OF MY BEER"

Pomax

@Gargron And their redesign was so bad that they knew they had to keep the old one around on old.reddit.com

wallabra (Gustavo Rehermann)

@Gargron It helps a bit already to add 'old.' to the link, so it points to 'old.reddit.com'

Of course there are other problems, I just wanted to point out a mitigation to this one in particular. :)

Do you see Mastodon's interface/app in the same language as your primary posting language?

@Gargron I wasn't really aware there was an alternative. But I guess that's us Brits for you :)

@Gargron I had to look what my interface language is. 😊

“Mark Zuckerberg and team consider shutting down Facebook and Instagram in Europe if Meta can not process Europeans' data on US servers”

@Gargron I remember them saying they'll do that before. They didn't, and they won't.

unfa

@Gargron I think this is blackmail. They know a part of European economy will collapse if they shut down Facebook and Instagram, so they use this to force legislators to let them do whatever they want. I think this is "too big to fall" territory.

Shout out to @puckipedia for finding CVE-2022-24307, shout out to the European Commission for sponsoring a bug bounty program that incentivized the discovery, and shout out to @Claire for organizing the patch releases!

@Gargron Is the groups discussion for 2022 occurring in Github or Discourse? Definitely would hope to chime in there on some ideas on what to do and what to avoid on that...

@Gargron 🎉 thanks for this report and for all you do!

Aiming to release Mastodon's 2021 annual report by the end of January.

Remus

@Gargron
Is there a public roadmap or do you plan to release one?
I didn't find any info on that. No demands - just curious.

Klievhelm

@Gargron Wise to not commit to a particular January

@Gargron it looks the same to me. What got changed?

Jason

@Gargron Likewise. Had to turn back to the old design.

Technical Issues

@Gargron are you seeing the disliked bit on the web or elsewhere? Asking because I’m always on the beta so the changes toll in all the time and that makes it harder for me tell what’s “new” to anyone else

Eugen Rochko

Is it just me or is Discord super slow at loading messages the past few days?

egg cat

@Gargron No for me it is pretty fast maybe your internet is slow or something

duck

@Gargron I stopped using discord quite some time ago and now feel less lonely and less suicidal. true story
