Bigou,

@ErikUden @Zergling_man @adiz Errโ€ฆ Neither , , nor are forked from Mastodon. Theyโ€™re fully compatible with it, but werenโ€™t forked from it.

(I even think the first version of Misskey is even a bit older than Mastodonโ€™s.)

I will be starting the installation of Mastodon v4.2.6 on Masto.host.

There will be about 15 seconds of downtime during the upgrade.

Changelog:

The SCOTUS is very likely to reject Trump's immunity bid, and I'm getting really tired of doomposting irrespective of if they do

If you are in despair sit with it for a moment. Your feelings are valid. But then the question is:

What next?

"I'm going to yell about it on mastodon" isn't going to solve anything. It might bring momentary catharsis, but only momentary

What next?

Eventually we all need to take meaningful action

Freezing is rarely a healthy response

So let's talk about it.

@hrefna I'm not American, nor I live in the states, so I can't do much. But if I was? I would help one of his opponents run its campaign at whatever level I could. (Which one would depend on who I trust to screw us the less.)

@kde @druonysus @kde L.A. is a bit far for me, but I do hope he get lot of helpers.

And while Iโ€™m at it, thanks to all the good people at for their excellent work on Plasma and all their apps.
(I just wish Kmail wasnโ€™t that far embedded into the desktop envโ€™, so I could uninstall it without causing problem in my system, since I donโ€™t use it. But thatโ€™s just me nitpicking, and might even be more a distro problem than a Plasma/KDE one.)

Bigou,

@Conan_Kudo @Bro666 Yeah, I will see with the Fedora team why it made my install refuse to run. Might also switch to KDE Neon.

Bigou,

@AnUnusualRelic Tell that to , then. It's with their KDE spin that I have this problem. (Not that Kubuntu was any better in the past.)

People are asking me what I think about joining the Fediverse. To review what I've said elsewhere, it's important to acknowledge five important realities:

  1. Meta can use ActivityPub, and nothing can be done about it. Fediblock doesn't prevent Meta from using ActivityPub because ActivityPub is an open protocol.

  2. A mass Fediblock (Gab style) is not happening. The big servers aren't doing it. And if the big servers aren't doing it, the medium and little servers don't have the power to enforce a mass Fediblock.

  3. The majority of people on the Fediverse don't care -- and many of them even want to connect with Meta. I know, this might surprise you. But based on my observations, most people won't be leaving mastodon.social because it federates with Meta.

  4. Even if the majority of Fediverse servers blocked Meta, that would still mean that certain unsavoury servers (which shall be unnamed) will likely connect with Meta -- and I certainly don't want those servers to be the face of the Fediverse for people who use

  5. Even if Meta pulled a Truth Social and didn't connect to the Fediverse, that does not prevent them from sucking up all that data from ActivityPub -- seeing how that data is, in fact, public.

Am I saying there's no value in blocking Meta? Not at all. Yes, block them if you don't want to send and receive messages to P92. Will that prevent Meta from seeing your messages? As I said, no, not at all. But at least that's data you haven't directly given to Meta (unless you're allowing RSS on your server). And it will also mean you won't receive messages from Meta -- if that's your purpose, blocking is good.

Now I've come to believe that when Meta joins the Fediverse, the Fediverse will largely be divided into three factions:

Faction 1: Servers that federate with Meta
Faction 2: Servers that don't federated with Meta, but federate with servers that federate with Meta
Faction 3: Servers that don't federate with Meta, and don't federate with any server that federates with Meta

Factions 1 and 2 will probably go on their merry way. It's Faction 3 that I believe will die because it's ultimately unfeasible.

"But Chris!" some might say, "There's that pact!"

Unless all those servers in that pact are only federating via white labeled servers who've signed that pact, the pact is useless. Such white labeling would mean that every server that federates must be manually reviewed. And it means that every new server that joins the Fediverse will be federated with Faction 1 and Faction 2 before they're federated with Faction 3.

Which ultimately means that Faction 3 gets tinier and tinier, especially as churn occurs, and those users don't get replaced by newcomers.

In the end, what will federation via white label achieve? Not a whole lot, except make certain people believe they have done something substantial to fight Meta when they haven't.

At a certain point, we have to accept reality: Meta will use ActivityPub, and most people using the Fediverse will talk to them.

So am I waving the white flag?

Not at all. What's important to acknowledge here is that it's not we, the Fediverse, who have conceded. It's Meta.

It's Meta who have given up ownership of their own corporate-owned network effect in order to join the Fediverse.

Despite this concession from Meta, I'm not happy about them joining the Fediverse.

However, there's another consideration: for people who use Meta. it's an incremental improvement over what they had before -- which was no federation. Again, less worse is better than worse. If the world is slightly better -- even if it's not ideal -- it's still better.

Do I want people to use Meta-owned social networks? Not at all.

Here's where I disagree with 99% of people panicking about Meta: I believe ActivityPub will ultimately be Meta's own undoing.

And I want to hasten this undoing ๐Ÿ˜Š

The For the Queen by Canadian author Alex Roberts @muscularpikachu has sold more copies in French than in English. And so many hacks!

In this we talk about how this game was a blast on the French speaking TTRPG scene and how it sparked a wildfire of innovations, some of which are now available back in English.

Hello @tuxedocomputers, @slimbook, @system76/@system76, @purism, @novacustom, @start9labs & any other companies making #PC with #Linux preinstalled roaming around on the #Fediverse, I have a seemingly stupid question for all of you:

How come, as far as I know, none of you ever made any #2in1 #laptops, like Acer's Spin series, HP's x360 laptops, a non negligible part of Lenovo's Yoga laptops, or a growing number of Chromebook?

Because I would buy such a Laptop, especially if it used #CoreBoot (or a distro of it) as firmware. ๐Ÿ˜‰

I mean, it's not like GNU/Linux didn't have some #DesktopEnvironment that would be great with a #touchscreen, like #Gnome, #UnityDE or #DeepinDE to name a few.)

Bonjour tout le monde. J'ai un vieux Dell Latitude E6320 qui fonctionnais parfaitement jusque ร  aujourd'hui en fin de matinรฉe.

Si j'essaye de rentrer dans le BIOS, tout ou partie de l'รฉcran devient noir, gรฉnรฉralement avec une partie du "splash-screen" du POST toujours affichรฉ.

L'un d'entre-vous peu m'aider ร  le refaire fonctionner? S'IL VOUS PLAIT?

Hello People. I have an old Dell Latitude E6320 who worked fine until late this morning. Now I see the logo Dell at POST like usual, but then the PC stay frozen there. And if I try to enter the BIOS (or UEFI, whatever) all or part of the screen become black, (the not black part still showing the DELL splash screen of POST).

Any one of you can help me make it work again? PLEASE?

just announced that going forward, any account not logged into for two years gets deleted.

This means huge amounts of rare or unique is about to disappear from as accounts get flagged as inactive, such as when the user dies. Families' (often posted by an older relative for their family's benefit), historical footage, rare clips, etc. What an incalculable loss to human and culture!

If there are videos important to you on someone else's video channel, find a way to download them. And if you have rare of historical importance, consider leaving it to institutional or lending it to archives for digital preservation.
