#Thunderbird is looking for help with the #Korean #translations for the #Android #email app

It was 69% complete, right below the threshold. Since then there has been no significant change. If you are a K-9 Mail user and a native Korean speaker, please consider helping out.

Still valid 20+ years later

Something I've been pondering about is if there is a good #ActivityPub #RSS parser, anybody know some good resources for that?

Reading discussions on the Fediverse about how dangerous it'll be to federate with #Threads.
Also reading discussions on Threads* about how dangerous it'll be to federate with the rest of the Fediverse.

*(I do not actually have a Threads account, but you can still read some public discussions without logging in.)

different poll: how often do you use git with GitHub?

Something I'd be interested in that I can't seem to find:

A low-powered Linux laptop with an e-ink display, that I could use for long-form writing or coding.

What I've found so far are mostly either

• Tablets intended for note-taking (like the ReMarkable or BOOX's various lines)
• Higher-end where the e-ink display is an extra (like Lenovo's swivel designs where you rotate the display to use either an OLED or e-ink).

Some of the tablets do have keyboard cases, which would be better than just hooking up a random Bluetooth keyboard, but it doesn't look like I can just install programs on them, except for the Android ones, which aren't going to be ideal for things like coding or running build scripts or anything like that.

The closest I found was the Modos Paper Laptop, but seems to still be in the prototype phase.

Does this form factor exist yet? Am I just having trouble finding them because of the current state of search?

Update: #Snac2can interact with Threads, I'd just messed up my configuration.*

Looks like #Threads still doesn't federate properly with #GoToSocial.

Which may be a feature as far as most GTS and Snac users are concerned!

But I do want Threads to technically be able to federate with most/all other software that uses #ActivityPub, so it can be user/admin choice whether to accept connections from the giant instance...and more importantly, to cut down on the risks of vendor lock-in and EEE.

And I hope more compatible systems will cut down on the "OK, my software federates with itself and Mastodon, I'm done" problem. In some cases there may be bugs on the smaller project's side, and fixing them might also fix issues talking to other small projects.

GTS has already fixed a bug found by trying to federate with Threads, but there's still a bug on the Threads end preventing them from talking to each other.

Key quote:

If Facebook had an issue tracker for threads, someone could open an issue there. If threads was an open source project, we could look at the code and immediately know what's up, but... 🤷
