Friends of #BSDCafe and the #Fediverse, for those who may not have heard, we recently lost Mike Karels - @karels - a truly significant figure in the history of our favorite operating systems. Among our BSD Cafe community, we have his niece - @kristin_charlotte
Let's show her family our warmth and gratitude for the role he played.
Very exciting that @drlucyrogers is here in the #fediverse! Let's welcome her! Great talk at #emfcamp about the science and wonders of looking up, so hoping to see that video available before too long 🎉
Let’s start our Tuesday morning with our #KoffeeWithKyle chat and discuss what our plans are for the day.
It’s just a regular ol’ work day here for me. The day to day IT/MSP stuff with support stuff mixed in between. Then tonight will just be some website work and relaxing so the my wife and watching TV.
Beide Gesellschaften schreiben dazu: „Wir teilen und fördern die Prinzipien von #OpenScience, Open Education und #OpenSource für die Hochschulbildung und wollen sie auch praktisch umsetzen. .... Darüber hinaus setzen wir uns damit für Konzepte wie digitale Souveränität und gemeinschaftlich organisierte Dienste im Sinne einer Kultur der Digitalität ein. Die Bereitstellung solcher Dienste im Fediverse (wie #Mastodon) ermöglicht uns als wissenschaftliche Fachgesellschaften, Gestaltungshoheit zu wahren und unabhängige, #datenschutzfreundliche Infrastrukturen zu fördern.“ #unisinsfediverse
Block Suggest, a new feature coming to Pixelfed that allows you to suggest to mutual followers to block a specific account when you block them.
Imagine a Mute, Block and Block & Suggest Button
The recipients will get a special notification that explains the suggested you block them with optional context and on the web ui and official app, you will be able to block or ignore with one tap!
I just hit send on the Open Letter to the Speaker, Clerks of the House and Senate and the Chair of the House Procedures and House Affairs Committee. (and cc'ed to other relevant Ministers, MPs and Senator)
67 signatures included! Anyone can still add one on the web version.
Thanks 🙏 for helping to push this. There may be a third (and final!) push, but it will be Canada only.
THANK YOU!
I wrote about how Patreon needs to join the #Fediverse:
"Why would a creator send their audience to a third-party platform when Instagram and Threads can be a one-stop-shop with their existing followers while having access to new paid subscribers across the social web?
Patreon can no longer just be the place where creators are paid, it needs to be a place where creators can be discovered. And it cannot do that as a social silo."
Last chance. If you want to have your signature on the real life letter that goes to Canada's House of Commons Speaker and others, you must tell me before 9AM PDT (about 40 minutes).
You do not have to be Canadian to sign.
Signatures received after 9AM will be on the web version.
I've made some updates to the letter including more supporting links and sources.
#Infosec#Twitter is dead, why do people still insist on being on that platform? It's lost its relevance, and all the best people in Infosec have moved here to #Mastodon or another #Fediverse app.
I feel like most of those still on Twitter are more worried about appearances and keeping their follower numbers than keeping and growing a great community.
