@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:

@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!

@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. 👍

@Gargron great colours here!

@Gargron At first I thought she vaped. 😹

@Gargron

Perfect day ♥️

@Gargron Sounds like an overall success. Well done.

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

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

@Gargron sounds fantastic, thanks for the recommendation!

@Gargron Wait! There’s a prog Tuesday here? I’m in rock heaven. I’ll be ready for next week with my pick.

@Gargron Congratulations! Happy Marriage and happy cat daddying

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

@Gargron flaming hot cheeto

@Gargron what’s Kodak?

@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??

@Gargron Guten Rutsch!

@Gargron enjoy!

@Gargron
Frohes Fest!

@Gargron MERRY HOGSWATCH

@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.

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

@Gargron nice.

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

yeah yeah yeahs
foo fighters
death cab for cutie
depeche mode
my morning jacket
the black keys.

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

@Gargron @yogscast vielleicht gefällt dir ja auch die Werwolfrunde von den RocketBeans. https://youtu.be/GpKOl9hxDCU?si=utjqHsIzn6NZC2U9

@Gargron @yogscast 100%

It’s so much fun.

@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.

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

@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.

@Gargron I forgot how to have fun gaming. :blob_cat_oh_no: #SteamYearInReview

@Gargron #SteamYearInReview

@Gargron

@Gargron a ver si me levantais el castigo igual lo veo.

@Gargron
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?

@Gargron фууублядь. Лучше бомжиху ебать, чем инстаграмщицу

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

@Gargron

@Gargron well that's just adorable

@Gargron 🖤

@Gargron is #Threads invading fediverse then?

@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?

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

@Gargron I think the key will be keeping it updated. It’s been on the same 10 people for the last 7 months. And I’m on social. Maybe I’m doing it wrong. Either way, let me know if I can help or fix things.

Looks like the rate at which mastodon.online users follow others has increased by 56% after the algorithm change (from 1.2K per day to 1.9K per day), so that's pretty good considering follow recommendations are kind of buried in the interface.

@Gargron I feel like “algorithms” has become a word that people get scared by without understanding what it means, just like “chemicals”.

@Gargron Late as usual, but Mastodon has been an amazing safe haven for all the Twitter refugees, and hopefully you can take some small comfort in that.

I think what you have done is enough for now if you need time to rest and regroup. It is stable and very, very usable.

@Gargron I wish I could help somehow. I want tech to be a group effort. I hoped all developers and mods workings on mastodon would feel supported and have a bunch of new ppl entering the work to build what we love...

@Gargron basically lmk how I can support you. I'm here and you are one of my heroes. I have a LOT of free time. put me to work let me give you a break if I possibly can

@Gargron @mosseri How do you plan to properly protect users and combat dangerous hate groups like LibsOfTikTok? Groups which Meta are either unable or unwilling to keep off of the platform.

And short of defederating how are smaller instances meant to keep up with the increased moderation workload that this will require?

@Gargron @mosseri One-way? I.e. you can read, but not interact?

Many commercial platforms that had access to open protocols were one-way and stayed one-way. The idea is to suck people in who use the open protocol, and not give back.

I remember the times where all important chat platforms from Google Talk to QQ were XMPP, and you could use essentially any XMPP client to talk to them, BUT they never did the interconnection with other XMPP servers.

@Gargron I think this will not end well at all. Didn't both Google & Facebook kill XMPP this way?
