Mastodon becoming a US entity with a neoliberal board of directors and the goal of growth über alles is the issue here folks, not whether Eugen and company are compensated for their work. Of course they should be and well too. Or is that a privilege reserved only for the mediocre yes-people at the Googles and the Facebooks of the world?

Here’s a longer thread I wrote elsewhere. (1/7)

It sucks when your conference or event only uses Twitter/X to post updates/details, and I can’t view the posts without logging in, but I do not have a Twitter account.

@ramsey

You've never had a twitter account? That's astounding. Most everyone I know, has maintained an account for at least ten years or so just so they can occasionally check a reference or find out the skinny on locally downed power lines that won't even make it onto the evening news - it always has been, and continues to be, best, better than, or often the only source for some critical information.

There's ways to shield yourself from tracking too, but if you've gone this long already...

Going back to Konversation for GUI stuffs. DCC file send/receive is kinda important to me. For everything else, including a lot of Matrix usage, WeeChat is still the Kewlist :p

https://bugs.quassel-irc.org/projects/quassel-irc/wiki/Migrating_from_Monolithic_to_Client+Core - just ain't gonna cut it right now.

I still love HexChat.

Honorable mention goes to Halloy, which I think looks really good, supports tiling, and says it supports DCC Send - I don't mind manipulating config files by hand, and I might check it out with a FlatPak, but if I'm sufficiently impressed it looks like I'll have to build the .deb and SlackBuild myself, ... Well? Somebody's got to! Right?

20 years after the first themes came to me, I finally did it... My 27 minutes rock opera song on Cleopatra is now done! It's an appetizer to my upcoming "Musae" album, where it will be one of the tracks: in this EP I decided to split it in different parts for easier listening.

Bandcamp: https://lminiero.bandcamp.com/album/cleopatra
Mirlo: https://mirlo.space/lminiero/release/cleopatra-(ep)
Faircamp: https://music.lminiero.it/cleopatra/

Will soon be on Spotify/Apple Music/iTunes/etc. too.

I'd love to hear what you think, boosts welcome!

Neither, really. Or both, perhaps. A combination of the two really, like the following?

https://zotum.net/channel/tallship?mid=ef5f6382-d98f-46f8-a9de-0f57b6ac4940

As you can see, you're only addressing the tags as following a post, whilst most folks tend to their inline as they type out their posts.

Having a facility to integrate those two methods is of great benefit and note that in my example not all are duplicates between the two methods of presenting them.

Say it with me folks, inheritance tax.

We are entering into "the great wealth transfer" where about $5.2 trillion (that's the one with more zeros than I can count) is about to pass from the, largely undeserving, super rich to their entirely undeserving heirs.

"Research by Forbes magazine found there were 15 billionaires aged 30 or under but that none had created their own wealth, instead benefitting from huge inheritances."

@FantasticalEconomics

And just what is wrong with that?

Answer: Not one Darn thing, except for the taxation a financially broken and bankrupt government seeks to impose upon those who rightfully choose to pass their property (including liquid assets) on to their offspring and nearest living relatives - or anything they designate.

There's also those who conveniently revel in blissful elegance of their self-imagined malcontent.

Jealousy is want of things belonging to others.

Not happy with issue trackers that has a ton of required boilerplate just to suggest an issue. Users (“lusers”) who are reporting bugs are helping the project and if it’s easy for them to contribute, more bugs will be found.

Non-mandatory boilerplate prompts (“here’s where you can find the version number”, “here’s where you can find logs”) are great but it should be possible to bypass since it’s stuff that’s not always relevant, like a user finding a bug can’t submit the admin’s logs for example.

I’ve said it before but probably the biggest culture shock when working in the corporate world was that they pay for testers and UI designers while when users give such suggestions for free in the FOSS world, they get kicked in the head.

The flipside to that is when the users are coming across as entitled, that’s not right either. Users, you’re not a paying customer or employee.

@Sandra

I can't recall, but it was just yesterday, there was some sort of issue I needed to report with something, and I'm used to those annoying boilerplates - it's like calling your ISP and getting tier one tech support with a notebook... "Can you turn it of and turn it on again?" Gimme a fricken' break, man!

Anyway, I teetered for a minute. Not sure if I wanted to fill that stuff out for something so trivial, but....

Then I noticed - there was a button to bypass all that! I was astonished

Anyway, had some discussions with a couple of folks about it and how it's , so there's excitement there.

Do please lemme know when you've taken up that torch again - I know you wear a lot of hats :)
