So I'm pointing out that we'll run #FediForum, "the unconference for the people who move the fediverse forward" again in about 3 weeks March 19 and 20, online, in case you are interested. https://fediforum.org How do I keep Apple Music from popping up on the Mac on occasion without me asking for it? Does some kind of audio configuration change (like taking out iPods) trigger this? Mouth stuck open!! “A recent BI analysis of regulatory filings found that Meta has lost a cumulative $47 billion in its metaverse-focused Reality Labs division since 2019.” Every now and then, the former Bavarian in me insists on something. Today: Griessnockerlsupp. (Using a Greek-labeled version of the Grieß/coarse semolina of all things …) https://www.bayerische-spezialitaeten.net/rezepte/griessnockerlsuppe.php I really don’t understand why people use Chrome. https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2023/11/google-chrome-will-limit-ad-blockers-starting-june-2024/

@J12t because it used to be good and the user experience for most isn't bad enough to get them to switch, especially in a world where not everything works in Firefox because people have started treating Chrome like they treated IE6. Status: getting the backyard hydroponics system ready for this year’s plants. Dropping a few varieties that didn’t grow so well, but planting again peas, various peppers, cucumbers, tomatoes, tomatillos, kohlrabi, beets, Swiss chard, a long list of spices, strawberries, lots of lettuce, and probably a bunch of other things that I forgot but will remember when I go through my seed packets. Homegrown system. Not hard. Fun, and veeerry delicious. Documentation at https://project-springtime.org “… managers using RTO mandates to reassert control over employees and blame employees as a scapegoat for bad firm performance” You don’t say. How can you be both anti-abortion and ok with in-vitro fertilization? Or have we just given up on any kind of even appearance of logic? The Data Transfer Initiative is having an event in Washington DC in a few days. Registered. However, I will just be there virtually. The nerve. “Avast fined $16.5 million for ‘privacy’ software that actually sold users’ browsing data” https://www.theverge.com/2024/2/22/24080135/avast-security-privacy-software-ftc-fine-data-harvesting I wasn't at #fosdem. But I'm hearing that almost all presenters had dropped their twitter handles and replaced them with fediverse handles. Got a PEZ dispenser in my stocking this Christmas. I notice it is just as difficult to put replacement candy in as it was many decades ago. Not everything changes at the speed of light! This occurred to me when I opened up Instagram in a web browser the other day, and the Threads logo showed up all lonesome in the bottom left corner. One could very easily imagine to have Facebook and Whatsapp logos right next to it. @J12t @Sarahp From what i read in the story it appears to me, that this is a simple "when I post something on Facebook, then post it with my Threads account on Threads as well." This is no federation. This is just the stuff that you can do with IFTTT as well, where you can define rules like "when I post on Instagram, then post this content on Twitter as well"
The International Institute of Welding has been dethroned on Duck Duck Go for the search "IIW". Now what I'm looking for is on place 3. Changed my Bluesky handle to my home page https://j12t.org. That was quite painless (for a geek; I filled out their web form and added a TXT record). They did that quite nicely. We should have something similar for the ActivityPub Fediverse -- yes, I understand that's a bit harder to do but not impossible IMHO. @J12t Totally. Changed my Bluesky handle too to my domain painlessly. This + the ability to choose your own algo separate from the network are two great features there that we would hopefully see replicated in more social media networks. |
