So, knowing many of my #Fediverse friends are using services other than #Mastodon, what will happen to those followers if I move Mastodon instance and initiate the migration and redirect?

Will they follow my new account? I suspect not. But why? Everyone has known for years the ideal is to build in portability — that beyond being a nice-to-have, it's actually more of a necessity to make this big project a success. Other ideas are rigorously implemented and fiercely defended. Why not this one?

Astronomers detect ‘waterworld with a boiling ocean’ in deep space - https://www.theguardian.com/science/2024/mar/08/astronomers-detect-waterworld-with-a-boiling-ocean-in-deep-space exciting; why not do more of this, and less of the war stuff?

It is insane that I have to verify that I am a human for every website when the verification is done by the exact same service? Why can't cloudflare just communicate the first verification across its stupid network that is just making the internet slower and more stupid?

Two things in arabic translation :
I use …

• Free as in Libre → حر and not "without money" →مجاني.
• Security → الأمان and not الأمن as in "Police security".

Talking about AlmaLinux dot org translations.

So fuck the “police” and be “free”.

لاحظتُ أنّ هناك من يستخدم كلمة "مدفوع" عند ترجمة كلمة "paid" من الإنجليزية إلى العربية.

اخترتُ ألّا أستخدم كلمة "مدفوع" واستعمال كلمة "بتكلُفة" التي أرى أنها الأنسَب.

مثال : paid app.
أترجمها : تطبيق بتكلُفة أو تطبيق بمُقابل بدلا مِن تطبيق مدفوع.

The role of human curators is not just to select and present content but to imbue the digital landscape with a sense of reliability and authenticity that only human insight can provide. In an age where technology can easily mislead or overwhelm, trusting in human curation becomes not a preference but a necessity for preserving the quality of the information that shapes our understanding of the world.
