#WordWeavers Does your MC love the spotlight or try to pass unnoticed?

If Lichuen gets into spotlight, something has gone wrong. Intelligence and espionage is not like in the James Bond movies - somebody known as a spy is an ex-spy.

Me considero una persona con bastante imaginación, pero ni en mis más febriles delirios hubiese imaginado ver al fokin presidente de los EEUU anunciando Teslas delante de toda la prensa porque la empresa de su co-presidente se hunde en ventas y en bolsa. El autoproclamado "líder del mundo libre" rebajado a un vendedor de coches.

Cada vez más convencido de que la relación de estos dos no es de amistad ni mutuo interés, y que Musk tiene mucha mierda sobre Trump y le está coaccionando.

Recordemos que cuando Musk compró Tuiter también compró TODOS LOS DMs de Tuiter.

igual no es el caso, pero también compró toda la información que se almacena sobre cada persona.

E igual no hemos pensado lo suficiente lo que podrían hacer con nuestras vidas quienes saben de ellas más que cada persona en sí.

Esas empresas que conocen tus fortalezas y debilidades y las de tu gente.

Pero seguramente no será el caso.
Ni el de nadie.

One of my biggest gripes with this platform, fixed!

We should now see *all* replies, regardless of which server we're on, or which server they're posted from.

Thanks @FediTips for the good news.


Some good news about #Mastodon, there has been a very significant bit of code added which will automatically fetch all the replies in a thread. This means everyone will be able to see a thread's whole conversation no matter which server they are on! 🥳

The code has just been "merged" which means it should become available in the next update to Mastodon, hopefully within the next few months.

(Those who want the technical details can see the Pull Request at github.com/mastodon/mastodon/p…)

in reply to Fedi.Tips

Do you know if it will work retrospectively, ie be applied to legacy posts, or only those made after its implementation?
in reply to Sam at BLAG

I'm not a developer, but AFAIK it should apply retrospectively because all it is doing is fetching more posts rather than changing the format of posts.

But I am not a dev! 😅

Hot off the press, y'all - new research from the folks at the Developer Success Lab.

I'm copying and pasting from an email I wrote to @flourn0 after reading a draft of the now available "No Silver Bullets: Why Understanding Software Cycle Time is Messy, Not Magic."

Because I don't think I can advocate for the quality of and need for this work any better than I did in that email:







Just got a text from an 819 area code supposedly from #CanadaPost telling me they were unable to deliver my package because of address related issue. I really do wish these foreigners who spam us and scam us would get a better grip on the english language. It's either an address related issue or address related issues people! And since one, I'm not expecting anything from Canada Post. And two, I would only sign up for text alerts by providing a valid tracking number, not today East Indian sweatshop con artists. Not today!

I got something similar yesterday. They wanted me to click a link to correct my zip code. Yeah, I’ll get right on that lol.

Every bit of this and then some! zeroes.ca/@broadwaybabyto/1141…


The only difference between a temp abled person & a disabled one is luck & time

Their good health isn’t due to “trying harder” or moral superiority. It’s luck

Health can be taken away at any moment, and if you live long enough you will almost certainly experience disability

Be kind. Be inclusive.

Ok. Weekend over. I managed to get out of my slump and actually do some work on Warjaming. That felt nice.

I’m under an immense amount of shitpressure these days, and while logically I know being idle makes things worse it’s fucking hard to pull up from that sort of nosedive.

I have two days of work then 3 off, which I’ll try my hardest to work on cool fun stuff. I want this project completed, it’s tied up all my minis lol.



[13:16] Liveblog: volg hier de rechtszaak van oud-burgemeester Schuiling voor schennis van eerbaarheid

Oud-burgemeester Koen Schuiling zou al begin januari in Zwolle de boete van 250 euro aanvechten die hij kreeg voor ‘schennis van de eerbaarheid’. Een vormfout gooide echter roet in het eten. Die is nu hersteld en de rechtbank heeft onverwacht snel een gaatje gevonden om de zaak opnieuw aan te horen.

Its not easy to replace the american tech services but day by day it can be done. But most importantly EU tech products needs a boost from EU governments, for example to promote them because many Europeans don't know there are EU alternatives. So lets give them a visibility boost. I will start to promote those products. For examplme instead of chess.com there is lichess.com
in reply to AlexLunaView

Agreed! Promoting EU tech is crucial. Here are some alternatives I use: Spotify for music, Joplin for notes, pCloud for storage, Proton for mail calendar and passwords, Le Chat for AI, Ecosia for browsing, Mastodon, and Pixelfed for social media and DeepL for translation. Plenty of ways to replace big tech, the question is if people are willing to give it up for an alternative.
in reply to Randy

@Randy tried le chat but it failed miserably in some areas. couldnt continue a conversation it was stuck in a loop not adaptable. didnt happen to chat gpt. the truth is american tech products most of them are just better and if the EU products to ever have a chance and not be niche, large investments and improvements are needed. A Eu tech product is not just good because its in EU
in reply to AlexLunaView

i have a different experience, I guess most of my apps are replaced and everything works just great. Keep in mind that Le chat is still in beta (I think).
in reply to AlexLunaView

@Randy

American tech took 20 or 30 years to reach the current state, and trillions of dollars of investment during decades.

ChatGPT was very stupid in the beginning. When they decided to release it earlier, it's because people would test it - they had millions of people using it and making fun of stupid answers, and this feedback made their AI model learn what it should answer.

So any other competitors (like Le Chat) needs people using it and failing. When they answer is wrong, downvote it - or if it's good, give a like. You're helping train their model.

in reply to All Europeans

Here’s the corrected version of your text:

@ueeu @alexlunaview I agree. But if everybody has the mentality of saying, “USA big tech is hard to replace,” then the story will end very quickly. An easy start is to migrate to a European email provider, and the rest will follow because if that’s done, you have already replaced everything in your Google/Microsoft/Apple ecosystem.



Con ipv6 podriamos tener todes desde nuestras casas si quisiéramos nuestros correos, webs y demás sin depender de compañías ni túneles ni gaitas.
Aunque, a causa de gente mala, probablemente recibiríamos muchos ataques para apropiarse de nuestros recursos.

Que desperdicio de energías en estar todo el rato tratándose de proteger

in reply to AlexBurrfoot

no necesitas IPv6 para hostear servicios por WAN y aunque así fuera no es recomendable hostear en clearnet desde tu casa, la solución existe desde 2003 con I2P.

La "gente mala" de verdad son los agentes del estado, funcionarios y las corporaciones con la colaboración de ICANN que han saboteado internet en las últimas tres décadas para que nadie pueda hacerlo sin su permiso, los hackeos arbitrarios no son tan habituales y cuando suceden a gran escala suelen ser financiados por Estados, aunque si tienes buen opsec y utilizas software libre es muy complicado que te hackeen un servidor, sobretodo sin que te des cuenta.

[13:00] Dit ga je merken van importtarieven op Amerikaanse producten: ‘Koop snel nog een paar Levi’s of fles drank’

Nederlanders die aan de importheffingen op Amerikaanse producten willen ontkomen, kunnen nog snel een nieuwe spijkerbroek, fles whiskey of motorfiets kopen. „Als het tijd is voor een nieuwe Levi’s spijkerbroek en je wilt het zekere voor het onzekere nemen, dan kun je die het beste nu aanschaffen”, zegt winkelexpert Paul Moers.

Der Weg geht über #OpenSource und #Eigenkompetenz auch wenn deutsche Verwaltungen Angstschweißausbrüche bekommen bei beiden Begriffen. Je früher mit der Arbeit daran begonnen wird, umso besser.

Waffenruhe in der Ukraine? "In Moskau herrscht große Verwirrung"

Der Vorschlag einer Waffenruhe hat Russland die Hoffnung genommen, gemeinsam mit den USA den ukrainischen Präsidenten Selenskyj unter Druck setzen zu können, sagt der Russland-Experte Andreas Heinemann-Grüder. Moskau dürfte nun versuchen, Zeit zu schinden.
