@catsalad well, this cat remind me a Tex Avery's Anim called « Bad luck Blackie » (1949). So funny, a real danger for dogs...

With the Nikkei 225 stock average hitting record highs, Japanese police are warning of online investment scams, particularly fake websites that display large profits and encourage additional investments. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/05/09/japan/crime-legal/police-investment-scams/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #crimelegal #japanesepolice #fraud #investments

A weird thing happens when you run things on off-grid solar for long enough. You start treating power as a resource again.
"Yeah, we have enough in the tank today for some FF14 and probably a movie."
If there isn't enough sun, you just...can't do that. You wait until another day.
You quietly dispense with the Always On.
@aral in fairness, both mastodon.online and mastodon.social share the same IP addresses... So... this sheds doubt on my idea they are on separate infrastructure...
@bobdobberson I was just told by the folks at Mastodon GmbH that it was originally started when mastodon.social couldn’t scale beyond a certain point (which, in a decentralised system, maybe should have a good point to say “maybe we shouldn’t”… but I lost that argument with Eugen a long time ago) and now remains for legacy reasons. Apparently also gets code updates before .social so I guess they’re also using it as a sort of quasi-staging/test instance.
One of my favorite Mastodon accounts is @skeletor.
The person behind the account brings me joy. Especially on a day like today which was exhausting on my mental health.
This meme in particular is one of my faves. It’s literally how I spend my time amid the insufferable grip of fascism. I design, code, and write for most of my day.
Thank you, mystery Skeletor human being. You make things nice, and you get all of my 3 good things for today.
@markwyner @skeletor Immediate follow. 😊 I am new here. Any other good recommendations?
@ireneista @smallcircles @kopper if we want to make policy for the fediverse as per this (great) discussion, and particularly for matters regarding information retention, i think we also have to consider the fedi server as an imperfect proxy for the user accounts it represents, because users cannot send Delete requests of their own volition—they must be proxied through the server, who represents all aspects of their identity in the current system.
so if we want to make policy around mutual deletion as per OP, we have to incorporate how each user's admin is currently acting as jesus in the consent meme (except even more powerful, because your admin can also falsify your affirmative consent as well as rescind it over you). i wouldn't call this a "blocker" to solve first (because it's such a big problem), but it's an example of how the fediverse in practice would complicate any policy decision around this matter.
@ireneista @smallcircles @kopper this is actually an example where "daily life" (as per OP) is a great framing, because it exposes how the imposition of the admin into matters of deletion is actually kind of strange! (unless the content harms others or is otherwise a subject of moderation, in which there is a valid legal basis for the admin authority, which is an authority granted conditionally to the admin by the users for purposes of moderation)

@ireneista @smallcircles @kopper it's also really weird that the client-to-server message in §6.4 has a json example while the server-to-server message (the focus of OP) in §7.4 does not provide a json example. it's also strange that the "overview" section only describes client-to-server interactions, explicitly notes that server-to-server interactions are being left out:
Technically these are two separate steps... one is client to server communication, and one is server to server communication (federation).
...and then never follows up? the server interactions section handwaves obsequiously:
In order to propagate updates throughout the social graph, Activities are sent to the appropriate recipients.
what is the appropriate recipient? it's from the appropriate links:
First, these recipients are determined through following the appropriate links between objects until you reach an actor
incredible follow-up:
Delivery is usually triggered by, for example:
usually!

Today, students protested against police deployment on campus: No activist deserves to be mauled by a police dog!
Exactly one year ago, a student protesting the university's complicity in the Gaza genocide was severely bitten in their leg by a police dog. The police officer involved will be prosecuted, but until today, the university’s Executive Board did not condemn the police violence, nor did they apologize to the student protesters. #GazaGenocide

> " I never expected to find my news from strangers on a federated social network that half the internet has never heard of. [...] But there's something quietly beautiful about a place where people just... share what they know. No brand deals, no engagement metrics, no algorithm nudging you toward rage. Just someone who spent twenty years studying Arctic policy posting a thread at 2 AM because they think you should understand what's happening. It's the internet I was promised in 1996."
Boy was I wrong about the Fediverse

Anthropic works with Palantir, they use SpaceX's Memphis gas generators, they displace labor, they're a goddamned military contractor. They are *very* firmly on the causing problems on purpose side of the line.

I have just replaced my dilapidated old website with a shiny new one. If you like wood engraving prints it may be worth a visit. I’d be very grateful for boosts, a small increase in traffic on the site might persuade me that my time was well spent! I will now go back to paint and ink.

9 May 1932 | A German Jewish girl, Margrit Hedwig Steinweg, was born in Dortmund.
She arrived at #Auschwitz on 11 February 1943 in a transport of 1,184 Jews deported from Westerbork. She was among 1,005 of them murdered in a gas chamber after the selection.

I think the upcoming #Collections for #Mastodon are great because they solve a major challenge for #Fediverse newbies:
How to fill their feeds.
One frequent complaint for Fediverse newcomers is that their timeline is empty, because unlike with the commercial platforms there is no algorithm to fill them. But if you point some appropriate collections their way, this could change quickly.
So if you write some "Introduction to the Fediverse" articles in the future, be sure to include pointers to some of your favorite Collections!
https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2026/04/designing-collections/
@juergen_hubert Some instances do offer a "Who to follow" block, which could be described as an algorithm - https://docs.joinmastodon.org/methods/suggestions/
Collections builds on that by allowing anyone to curate one.

Enfin migré de mamot.fr, 10 ans après (!) avoir formellement quitté La Quadrature du Net, une organisation qui ne me représente pas, ne me fait pas rêver et surtout n'a plus grand chose à voir avec les causes, les combats et les modes d'actions pour lesquels nous l'avions co-créée en 2008.... et pourtant avec laquelle l'on m'associe encore régulièrement à ce jour... (!)
Il etait grand temps, et j'espère que cette transition aidera à clarifier les choses!
Bonjour, piaille.fr! <3
@jz
Bonjour,
Je te remercie d'avoir cofondé la Quadrature du Net, et tout le travail que tu as fait, avec et en dehors d'elle.
On t'y associe encore, et c'est logique. Après tout, tu en es le cofondateur.
Je suis bien content que la Quadrature du Net existe. Je sais qu'il y a des dissensions, sans en connaître les détails, mais ça arrive immanquablement pour toutes les organisations qui prennent de l'ampleur et dont les activités sont critiques.
Il ne faut pas le voir du mauvais côté.

Google est en train d'interdire aux utilisateurs d'un téléphone Android dégooglisé d'accéder aux pages qui ont intégré son fameux "captcha" ("cliquez sur les motos...").
Pour les autres, les googlisés, c'est un formidable outil de pistage qui est mis en place.
