#AskFedi inactive account question:

What happens if I reactivate an old account on an instance I migrated away from? Not to move back, just to have an alt account.

I don't want to migrate my current followers to the reactivated account. I don't want to reactivate it if it would somehow mess up my current account. I'd just like to have accounts on both instances.

I could make a new account on the other instance, but I liked that user name & would keep it if possible.

This is The Onion, yes?

I have let go.
In spirit.
But I haven’t left.
In body

Ahahaahahahaha

@dajb that's the level of precision and control I feel like I'm having while trying to use a phone

Hey, the official deadline to tell your local comics store you want a copy of Star Trek: Zero Point #1 is tomorrow

BUT

I'm guessing a lot of comic store owners will put those orders in on Monday morning, so... if you really want all this Trekkie goodness, you oughta let them know TODAY.

me (continuing to ignore them): cat6, cat6a, cat7, cat8

Google has become an enemy of the open web, and it's increasingly locking down Android to dominate (with Apple) mobile computing. https://keepandroidopen.org/ A once-principled company gets more and more control-freakish, for money and power.

Nothing Google does now is surprising, just predictable.

@Shrigglepuss Maybe you're doing it wrong

Surreales Medienversagen: Höcke, Chrupalla, Weidel auf allen Kanälen. Gesprächsrunden zwischen BSW & AfD. In der ARD übernimmt Ulrich Siegmund gleich die Fragen an CDU-Generalsekretärin.
Demokratiefeinde in Dauerschleife. ARD&ZDF als Gefangene ihrer alten, überkommenen Wahlberichterstattungsrituale.

First run-through of my presentation for EuroBSDCon: 41 minutes. It's okay, but I went very fast.
Considering that usually, on the first try, I break the 50-minute mark... I'm not complaining!

Flock Offered Webinar Teaching Cops How to Surveil 'No Kings' Protesters https://yro.slashdot.org/story/26/09/05/0659243/flock-offered-webinar-teaching-cops-how-to-surveil-no-kings-protesters?utm_source=rss1.0mainlinkanon

@david_chisnall @Anomnomnomaly I think this is a very interesting perspective that has a lot of merit. I often call BS on this common nostalgia for the "simpler" 50s and 60s, recognizing all the entrenched problems it had. I often also associate this attitude with right wing adherents that probably want a lot of those attitudes and norms back in place (and, in some cases, seem to be making horrifyingly regressive "progress" in that regard).

But the promise aspect is one I hadn't considered.

There is a technology which is so expensive to operate that *just by existing*, it has made things like RAM and hard drives unaffordable to me and the humans I know, because the expensive technology's operational demands are so high they had to buy RAM and hard drives *until there weren't anymore RAM or hard drives*.

*A technology with this property is not, and was never going to be, a "democratizing" technology*.

Shared infrastructure is how the #Fediverse can grow without recreating enshittified platform silos.

We’re excited to share that Bonfire is working with Mastodon on two critical areas of Fediverse infrastructure: remote media storage and automated content detection.

Built around open Fediverse Auxiliary Service Provider (FASP) specifications, this work will help platforms connect to shared services instead of each having to build and operate the same capabilities alone.

Our aim is to make these capabilities open, interoperable, and available for any federated server to adopt.

A big thank you to @Mastodon@mastodon.social team for involving us in this work. We’re looking forward to building together and sharing what we learn along the way.

@molly0xfff I'd say there's no such thing but then I remembered the "hump back" whale statue that Larry Ellison put up in Lanai that is clearly a sperm whale

@catsalad So Fried Furball actually... DOES compute!
