The hardest part of working on Indigo is trying to get screenshots of the timeline without someone Saying Something A Bit Freaky
…What saddens me is that when it comes to social software the bifurcation is especially acute.
On the one hand, there are people doing amazing pro-social work, but the point of entry is most often a high cognitive wall if you don’t already swim in the command line.
And on the other are platforms where the cost of entry is exceedingly low, but those platforms lean into extraction and manipulation.
I wish we could break this down a bit
@sebsauvage @p4bl0 Mais mais mais je pensais que tout le monde était au courant !
Can’t go to sleep until I think of a foolproof solution to all current problems

@quinta Sono un po'perpelsso.
Ma posso comprednere che piuttosto che unáutmazione al 90%, che non sia a'quando"cede", e'emglio sapere di avere una gestione con aiuto seppur con "resposabilita' chiara ed effettiva.
Controllare e'ansia, sorpattutto se non hai idea di cosa possa andare storto e come reagire.
Probabilmente, a aprte contesti particolari, o ci sara' automazione totale o e'meglio un impegno umano.
Per quanto riguarda mezzi pesanti ... e'diverso, pero'...
Les suggestions de Jellyfin, c'est cohérent.

Introducing the Fediverse: a New Era of Social Media
EU rules for free market competition mean that US firms cannot be prohibited from participating attempts to replicate open standards locally. There is also nothing preventing US tech giants from simply acquiring the smaller, local firms that do build European infrastructure. Indeed, this has happened Gaia-X, a past European digital sovereignty initiative.

It says it all about the ethical values of the combatants in the Ukraine war that Ukraine is striking oil refineries while Russia is attacking libraries and publishers.

20 years ago, normal people avoided technology and techies would jump on the newest gadgets as soon as they could.
Now, normal people buy smart toasters & coffee mugs while every techie I know is on the verge of retreating to the forest

hello nerds, can you help #GoToSocial out with a monthly donation to our OpenCollective?
https://opencollective.com/gotosocial
we're trying to get together an income of a few thousand euros a month to supplement @dumpsterqueer and @kim's work on GoToSocial; currently we're on 1200ish per month, which is amazing, but we'd like to end up around 2400 / month, or ideally more! that will give us a lot more freedom to continue to work on the project full time without having to look in consternation at our bank accounts, and worry about grant money running dry
if we get enough, we can even eventually look at welcoming another developer to the gotosocial treehouse to assist us in pulling bugs off the sloth, combing its hair etc
if you work at a company that would be interested in sponsoring us by sending donations to our OpenCollective, in exchange for a mention / logo on our docs and website, we're very open to that, assuming the company aligns with our ethics (see our code of conduct to get an idea)
to discuss that, you can send an email to admin@gotosocial.org and we'll talk!
please boost and share, thank you so much for your help!
@bortzmeyer Je savais même pas que je pouvais utiliser whois avec des IP… ! Merci beaucoup :)
@p4bl0 @bortzmeyer
ah ben je découvre aussi.
Trop pratique !
When worms enter a narrow channel, they actually speed up their movements, challenging the intuition that wider paths are faster and better.

pretty sure it's not the communism that causes problems for common people, it's the authoritarianism.
@alienghic there is a reason why I put "communism" in scare quotes. The relation between communism and authoritarianism is for a much longer conversation, as is the question of alternatives to capitalism that are not communism (as that's a false dichotomy).
The founders of #Starcloud have created a nonprofit that aims to send a spacecraft on an 80,000-year journey to #AlphaCentauri, with launch set for 2029. "The mission will happen," says Philip Johnston, president of the #FermiExplorer Mission. "There will not be a no-go." https://www.geekwire.com/2026/fermi-explorer-alpha-centauri-80000-years/ #Space #Interstellar #Travel
@alanboyle it would be preferable to help ensure that there's humans and life on earth 80,000 years from now by not wasting what little resources we have left on nonsense like this.
the earth is currently warming at 0.35-0.48C per decade depending on who's estimates you look at. that's the result of more than 200 years of increasing fossil fuel usage. do the math on when our oceans will boil into the atmosphere at that rate.
