@Linux_in_a_Bit

It would be nice to give emoji more meaning this way. If also custom emoji are supported, then the "boost appreciated" can be filtered on, for instance. And #❓ can be alternative for for instance.

@hazelnoot neither on Mastodon. It does not recognize as a hashtag link in the web UI.

@julian

Hmm, on your end.

First toot was a single 'loose' top-level toot, second one above to the thread, but no emoji showing in at all in both of these. And opening the link to your toot, leads to a login page on NodeBB.

How did it look on your end?

@mikedev as it should. Nice!

Gender meanders beautifully. Why do folks wanna dam it in, make it straight? What's wrong with them? Rigid flow imagined in rigid minds. Unnatural.

I have the feeling that Activity Pub and other new 'protocols' have a different meaning of the term 'protocol'. I mean these APIs and services would not be handled by the IETF. Or do I miss something?

smallcircles,
@smallcircles@social.coop avatar

@demiurg

Imho AP serves more as a kind of "protocol framework", and it still must be completed to be fully production-ready. Current early adopters are all working with alpha versions and flavours thereof.

re https://mastodon.xyz/@NGIZero/112287359872818229 :

happy and thankful to announce that dokieli is among the projects receiving funding to contribute its bit for the open internet.

Thank you for your time and consideration!

Some details on what we'll do is described at https://nlnet.nl/project/Dokieli/

Will continue to contribute to open web standards ( see e.g., https://github.com/linkeddata/dokieli/blob/main/README.md#specifications )

smallcircles,
@smallcircles@social.coop avatar

@csarven @liaizon

Congratulations on your funding, Sarven 🎉

Dokieli is a most interesting fedi project that ventures beyond regular social media use cases that still dominate the field. Thus an application that invites exploring new areas of the social web, where there exists great potential. Thank you for your efforts!

Linus demonstrating that any clear and well-reasoned proposal can still be attacked using nothing more than SHOUTY CAPS and calling it "idiotic".

Deftly ignoring direct questions, and side-stepping all attempts at logical discussion by deliberately and repeatedly mis-quoting the other person.

@kees I am in awe of your patience and calm 😉

@dentangle @jens @kees

Gotta say.. just Wow! What a behavior this shows. Literally stamping on an idea. Bringing full authority to bear and minimize any chance of people more broadly starting to muse on merits and possible drawbacks to take into account. Absolutely toxic stuff.

"Roam the Wilderness of Autonomous Social Networks"

Requesting feedback for this as a title for a tour of the fediverse I am giving in September...

smallcircles,
@smallcircles@social.coop avatar

@liaizon

I like the title. Though I consider "autonomous" be a tease and small barb towards traditional corporate non-social Social Media.

"Autonomous" is like automated, robotic in the visual image I get when hearing the title. But that's the fun there. Fedi is about autonomous people doing the things they love, and on their own free volition. No algorithmic steering and influencing there. So the exact opposite of that mental picture.

You could make that a theme in the presentation visuals.

smallcircles,
@smallcircles@social.coop avatar

@liaizon yes, I can see that, and also you are giving the presentation in an autonomous zone I saw/think.

For regular folks and also techies the connotation is different, I think.

But that is an opportunity for some wordplay around that 😃

@mihamarkic @tomshardware

Thanks. Yea, the cookies don't trouble me. I have my ad-blockers and stuff. It is the principle that troubles me. This cookie dialog had a literal "I withdraw my consent" which I clicked. Ignoring that just shows that they care at all.

@neo

Creativity now sits in an ugly slab of future e-waste apparently, selling its body to undoubtedly.

Goes to show that in the dystopia that is unfolding the earth is flat, everything is shallow, thinly-sliced, narrow-minded. And with that they are completely out of their depth.

Let an apple be fruit again, inspiring humans when it falls from the tree.

Anyone building a federated Stack Overflow?

smallcircles,
@smallcircles@social.coop avatar

@dansup there used to be a full-blown (non-federated) remake of Stackoverflow in a GH project. Firing it up would give nearly the same UI and a whole bunch of the gamification features.

I was only mildly interested at the time, and did not star or anything. Later on, seeing "federated SO" thread for the N-th time I tried to find it again on multiple occasions. No luck, unfortunately.

Such project would be a great basis to add to.

As for the idea: https://codeberg.org/fediverse/fediverse-ideas 😃

smallcircles,

@hobs great, thank you!

@dansup

@hobs @dansup

Ohh, those are nice finds.

Looking in the SE github org, there's also their Design System, and it is MIT-licensed.

https://github.com/StackExchange/Stacks

That can be a) giving a good headstart in designing an alternative, and b) depending on how it is exactly licensed, be great to "fork" the brand assets (if they are also just MIT, they maybe aren't protected as they usually are).

Why is it so hard in and with to show thumbnails of the screenshots I made, so I know which image to select without painstakingly opening them one by one from separate file window?

There's many images in my screenshot dir, all having thumbnails, except those created in the last 5 days. Why no thumbnails here? Why?

Thank you! Indeed, that works 😃

@protonprivacy there's some functionality I'd like to have in #ProtonMail.

I created a filter that based on a CC mail address put a Label on every match, favorited the mail and put it in a separate folder.

Great. Except that there were 1600 mails using that CC that were filtered which shouldn't have been matched. I made a mistake.

And now there's NO way to correct, except for manually opening each and every mail to unfavorite and remove the label, then place it in the folders they originated

smallcircles,
@smallcircles@social.coop avatar

@protonprivacy

I now only have 3 pages, 119 mails, to manually open, unfavorite and remove label from 😵 .. that boring chore's for later.

Developer's PSA: The way you & your culture do things isn't the way everyone does things! Be wary of cultural constructs, no matter how basic they may seem!

Time & dates. Text. Punctuation. Names. Addresses. Iconography.

What else am I forgetting?

P.S. This is also a politics PSA. Very topical to NZ right now!

18 May will mark the end of the project. Time to review the results of this successful story.

@how @EU_Commission @EC_NGI @NGIZero

There was some hint (or maybe I misinterpreted) of some follow-up for the and pilot.

Nothing concrete mentioned and no further official announcement. Maybe @EDPS could provide more insight if this is indeed the case?

Meanwhile it is HIGHLY ironic that
@vonderleyen is a mirror operated by Federico Leva in Finland together with numerous other unofficial bridges. Frequently confused with official accounts.
