Let's all comment below with what our day has in store for us today or what we've already gotten done today.
For me, I only have 5 hours left of work for the day with a meeting from 2 - 3pm and then I'm done for an entire week as I'll be heading to Myrtle Beach, SC for vacation with the wife and the family!
Just some video games throughout the day and evening tonight!
Bowie's album Diamond Dogs was my music of choice when I was gearing up to hit the city (Montreal) for a night of partying. I'll bet I could recite every word of it.
"The Verge and 404 Media are building out new functions that would allow them to distribute posts on their sites and on federated platforms – like Threads, Mastodon and Bluesky – at the same time. Replies to those posts on those platforms become comments on their sites."
If you're not looking at @theverge and @404mediaco as social web platforms that are hosting hand-picked content creators with a publisher's infrastructure, you're not paying attention. #Fediverse
Good morning #Fediverse peeps! Hope the day is going well for you so far.
Let’s gather for our #KoffeeWithKyle chat and see what we have planned for today or what we’ve accomplished so far.
I’ve got two support calls I have to go do so far today that will probably take a good chunk of my day. This evening will be pretty much be relaxing. I’ll probably get my initial discussion post out of the way for this week and then watch TV.
It might be obvious and old news, but on my rare logins to #Instagram I saw a new message of their privacy policy to be updated this month: Every content from every post will be used to train their AI.
If you are a visual artist of any kind and use the platform, #Meta will use your creation against you, literally. You either learn how to publish and own your data, or you’ll be stolen.
Are there search engines that work like this: I publish my own list of sites on some topic that it should index.
And then perhaps I compose bigger lists with trusted others?
I googled for federated search but that's about searching the fediverse or federating search engines. I guess I'm looking for a federated search index.
Seeing a lot of buzz about how the #fediverse is losing users (almost always based on #mastodon numbers) as they drift to things like Threads and Bluesky. Anecdotally I’ve noticed a drop in “engagement”, but I’m not really phased.
This is the weird kids table in the school cafeteria, with the D&D club and goths. We were never going to be the “big thing”, and that’s good.
A social media friend group turned friendly gathering earlier this month when @jeanettepizzurro (Jette), @Rasta (Rasta), and I (Brian) met up to hang out. It was a great time with great friends and a bit surreal actually spending an evening telling stories and laughing together in person.
Liebe Leute in Schleswig-Holstein, die sich für die Arbeit des #ADFC SH interessieren,
die Geschäftsstelle des ADFC SH wird für den Vorstand Diskussionsgrundlagen zum Sinn und Unsinn von #Mastodon und #Fediverse vorbereiten. Nun ist das hier für manche Neuland und es scheint unbekannt, warum Mastodon einen wertvollen Beitrag zum Wirken des ADFC in SH bietet.
Ich würde mich freuen, wenn ihr uns eure Wünsche dazu schreibt.
An: info@adfc-sh.de.
Nehmt mich thijs.lucas@adfc-sh.de gerne in CC nehmen.
Nächsten Montag laden wir zu einem - Workshop für Digitale Nachhaltigkeit als Nachbereitung vom #Umweltfestival 🌳 2024 in #Berlin zusammen ein. Weitere Interessierte sind willkommen!
