@Gargron Happy New Year, Eugen! Mastodon was an important part of my life this year, so thank you!

DELETED

@Gargron happy new year and more to come!

@Gargron i don't think Mastodon is incrementally larger than 2023

#Firefox is by far the best browser on desktop. Let me be clear, I am not saying that because I am ideologically opposed to using Google products. I use YouTube and Google Workspaces. Chrome genuinely has nothing to offer over Firefox. If your website doesn't work in Firefox then I'm not using your website.

@Gargron the only thing stopping me from moving from Brave to Firefox is the tab groups. I use that feature a lot.

@Gargron I love Firefox, but Vivaldi's native tab superpowers have won me over.

@Gargron I work with websites and I have Firefox, Chrome, Brave, Opera and Edge on my PC, knowing that all of the latter are based on the free Chromium which I also use. If a website doesn't work in Firefox, it may work with the Chromium based browsers and vice versa. But I always make sure that my websites work on all browsers. :blobcatcoffee:

I got myself prints of my favourite shots this year on Hahnemühle paper.

#BelieveInFilm

Nine 10x15cm matte prints with a white border featuring analog photos I’ve taken throughout 2023.

@Gargron Love this! My father who is not on social media prints out all the pictures I send him via text. So not as professional as these— but I enjoy the prints very much. Great shots!

Christmas market. Erfurt.

A crowd of people on a cobble stone plaza occupied by Christmas market stands and a ferris wheel, all decorated by fairy lights. There is no snow and the sky is grey as the sun is setting.

@Gargron may I ask why there is no text size option on the web interface?

@Gargron Looks fantastic. The contrast & colors are superb. 16:9 crop looks very nice on my screen. 👍

Eugen Rochko

It's been a very difficult and stressful year that almost broke me multiple times, but there were good bits too: I got married, visited the @yogscast office, saw The Dear Hunter live, got into analog photography, and adopted two very silly cats.

@Gargron Please focus on what you need to achieve and less on your regrets.

@Gargron thanks for all of your hard work this year.

If Kodak brought back Aerochrome, would you buy it?

@Gargron You’re watching too many Jason Kummerfeldt videos. Maybe if we all drink Flamin’ Hot Mountain Dew at the same time…

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from this Jewish/Russian/Italian/Mexican household in Germany 🎄

Living room illuminated by candle light, fairy lights, and a projector screen showing Notting Hill. A festively decorated dinner table with almond cookies in the middle, and a Christmas tree full of felt and plush baubles.

@Gargron Merry Christmas Eugen! All the very best to you and your family

@Gargron Holy mackinaw! How do you decide what the menu will be for Christmas dinner??

Eugen Rochko

This year I got to see Haken, Leprous, Heilung, The Dear Hunter, Caligula’s Horse, and Devin Townsend live. Quite happy with that!

James aka "Baldy"

@Gargron What a list!! I still want to see Devin. The new Haken is a bit uneven for me, but I'm digging it. I saw They Might Be Giants, Ghost (with Amon Amarth opening), and The Midnight.

Ericka Simone

@Gargron but did Devin do anything off the infinity album though?!?

Anne Ominous

@Gargron nice.

this year was a great 'show' year for me too.

Been really enjoying this latest @yogscast series called The Cult, which is essentially a game of Werewolf with production value. Two episodes out so far.

Five Element Ninja

@Gargron @yogscast Yeah I've been enjoying all their recent shows. This, Taskbox, and the game shows they did during Jingle Jam. Good stuff.

Eugen Rochko

I was on @mike's Dot Social podcast to talk about Mastodon, #Threads (not the 1984 movie), and the social web. If you've got questions about any of those things, maybe we've covered them!

@mike the main thing that I learned from this episode is that there is someone on the planet even more enthusiastic about ActivityPub than I am.

Niklas Schmelzle 🦣

@Gargron great podcast! Could you share a link to the blog posts you mentioned, which explain ActivityPub with Ruby?

carrotcypher

@Gargron @mike cool! I was just reaching out to you the other day to have a discussion with our Fosstodon community as part of a meetup. Let me know if you’d be interested.

Eugen Rochko

Speaking of mastodon.online, there’s been another visual update on the web app, so let me know how you like it. Yes, it will come to mastodon.social soon enough too.

The post-element sticks out like a light gray sore thumb in a dark environment.

@Gargron #dev #mastodon #fediverse #developers Please, dont ban people that forgot to tag nsfw posts as nsfw! Please put an option for an entire account to be treated as nsfw OR let AI to decide NSFW content. Also, even FB dont ban me for 3 years cause i forgot to tag pictures as NSFW! Are you a church? I must pray to god when go to FB or mastodon? Is our body a sin?

Eugen Rochko

My wife is looking forward to deleting her Instagram account once she can connect with the same folks from her Mastodon account. Being able to remain in touch with over 100M people who still use Meta products out of the comfort of an ad-free, privacy-friendly platform like Mastodon is a game changer.

@Gargron

I'm not sure about a lot of the different things I have been hearing lately when it comes to #Threads opening up to #TheFediverse . But I do understand a lot of the trepidation and concerns.

One of the things I love best here is that there are no ads, no algorithm pushing trolls & ads into my feed, no one tracking my data, etc. And now it sounds like those are going away?? (At least partially.)

I would appreciate your authoritative and informed opinion on this RT of a toot from @mastodonmigration .

@Gargron фууублядь. Лучше бомжиху ебать, чем инстаграмщицу

Jay Baker

@Gargron ...and get to access all the hatespeech that comes from Threads, which would face mass defederation if it was a standard Mastodon server.

Eugen Rochko

If for whatever reason you never wish to interact with #Threads, you can personally block it for your account. This hides all posts and profiles from Threads, prevents anyone from Threads from following you, and stops your posts from being delivered to or fetched by Threads. Simply click the "Block domain threads.net" option on any Threads profile or post you see in Mastodon.

@martlund 🌲🐶🇸🇪🇨🇱

@Gargron How do I block certain languages that I can't read? I can read 5 languages but want to filter out Chinese and Russian. Can I do that or do I just keep scrolling past them?

Ed Summers

@Gargron but don't blocked domains still show up in search results?
