Meta/Threads/Facebook/Instagram has made their own symbol for the fediverse, so we better have a good argument for why this is not representative of us because we are quickly gonna see a lot of this icon...

If you are a maintainer or contributor for a small-to-one person open source project- from options below, what is your current most pressing need (if any one of them apply specifically to you)?

I'm just trying to get a snapshot as there are a lot of ideas going around. I would like this to remain as anonymous it can possibly be here so don't feel like you need to write a comment.

I already know this is not a professional study #poll

I only have four choices to use, so I know it's incomplete.

The more I'm using #kbin the more I like it. There is a lot going on here (much more than pictured, but this should give a basic idea of using it for reading and subscribing to things). There is a learning curve (like the rest of the Fediverse) but it becomes easier once you get the hang of it. Descriptions of the screenshots are in the image captions. I have a separate account there as a "soft" partition and (edit- changed) an important thing to know is that upvotes translate into feed boosts.

Thinking about how Folks held on to Twitter and Facebook for so long. I kinda feel that the folks who want mastodon/fedi to replace those networks perhaps didn't realise that for some of us, we'd already moved several times.

Once you've moved on from your first one emotionally it's easier.

So for those of us where this isn't their first rodeo what was your network pre Facebook? :BoostOK:

The Darlingtonia Californica has woken up from winter dormancy.

If you installed KDE Connect on Android and it was removed by Play Protect they (KDE) want to hear from you. The link is to Reddit but they are taking reports in other places also (see in their Reddit post).

Hey- if this is your first time at #FOSDEM or if you need a reminder, just so you know, many streets in Brussels can be a rough walk (loose cobblestones, holes in unexpected places, slippery areas, etc). If you think you might need a mobility aid like a walking cane, rollator, etc. but are unsure about taking it- don't think twice about it and just take it and use it.

Anyways, since @Tusky has been running on a very small and dedicated team and in my opinion under-funded, I'm very happy to become a backing financial supporter, which I should have done years ago. https://opencollective.com/tusky #tusky

Possible origin of the term "The Fediverse" as a term

I'm going from memory, so not sure it's all correct, but usage of the word "Fediverse" early on was typically used with the "!", as a cross-instance general posting group (Fediverse being the "who", in this case "everybody") and was often combined with a subject/topic group (the "what", in the case of !tzag(*), a greeting, which optionally had tags to other subjects or groups.

I have an Android (and Nokia/HMD) question. After updating to Android 14 my Nokia G42 5G lost AAC codec over Bluetooth support, which downgraded some of my headphones as they are falling back to SBC (more noticeable on some headphones than others and these are without aptX* support, which is still working fine). Developer Options doesn't change it. Has anyone else seen this? I already factory defaulted the phone and recently updated to the April 2024 patch with no change.

Checking in on the very small bog I planted mid-August. The first pic is what it looks like now, the last one is just after making it. There is a lot going on in there that I tried to show a bit with the center pics. Drosera (Sundew) seedlings have sprouted from flower stalks I tossed in there just to see what would happen and some of them are growing on the moss. For watering I just kind of flood it every few days, they seem to like that.

There is a poll I have that I'll be reboosting a couple more times before it closes to reach across timezones and apologies for the repetition.

Is there concern for snaps or flatpaks? Checking my own stuff it looks like applications using bundled liblzma are running in the 5.2.* - 5.4.* versions, but if someone has a bleeding edge application running an affected version, what would the remediation be? Would uninstalling it be sufficient?

FYI openSUSE Tumbleweed users, the downgrade to the xz library to roll it back to 5.4.6 is already in place (you can check by seeing the update target version) so update now (to do the downgrade) if you haven't already.

About a year and a half ago I had to "chop and prop" (cut/propagate) this Sinocrassula due to stem rot (see the post about it on my old account here https://mastodon.social/@chillicampari/108223295472840443 )

It took a while with a few false starts and there were times I almost threw it away thinking it was dead but I'm glad I stuck with it and here's what it looks like now. This time they grew a lot of air roots which looks a bit weird but it seems stable.

Doing some spring pruning today. I usually like to let the plants grow the way they want, but in this case (and with some other plants I'll be trimming) they get too unbalanced and can topple over or stem weakening. This Pachyphytum Oviferum branched and offset/cloned a new smaller plant, and then grew sideways.
It was really cute and I wanted to leave it like this but the head of the original plant was too heavy to support over time.

I am no longer in Sacramento, CA but still get email for various things so just passing along that if you have an uncashed check from SMUD (Sacramento Municipal Utility District) you will need to claim it by December 18, 5:00 PM (via Senator Niello). #sacramento

Note: Something that Wikipedia claims but that I don't have a good way to independently verify is that footwork ("juke"?), and by extension all of DJ Rashad's work, is instrumental rather than vocal because it's designed for street dance battles, and that the Chicago footwork/dance battle scene is a direct evolution of the original house music scene (the name "house music" originally refers to a speciifc club called the Warehouse, in Chicago) https://mastodon.social/@mcc/111558364602637818
