@davidgerard Was really confused why the preview link seemed to be 3 years old. Looks like there are comnents on the post - ostensibly published last week - going back to February 2023. Presumably Apple have been grappling with this very question for at least that long?

@lake I love how some catholic imagery is quite kinky if you don't have any context.

Yesterday, many of you helped fund the purchase of a solar generator for a #mutualaid hub in Gary, Indiana, a postindustrial city in the American midwest now in its thirteenth day without electricity. It’s already en route to them.

I’m not going to blow smoke up your ass, and suggest that one tiny generator is in any way sufficient to the scale of the crisis – or even to the needs of a single relief hub. But importantly, it’s not nothing, either. It will be used, it will make a difference and it will be appreciated.

So today, especially if you contributed, I’d like you to ask yourself two questions:

- How hard did it turn out to be to take (small but) meaningful action to intervene in a distressing situation you might otherwise only have read about passively?

and

- How did it feel to participate, and have those feelings changed since you first became aware of the crisis?

L’article est mensonger. Le décret est une expérimentation pour 6000 personnes uniquement, qui en sont informés.
Et on rappelera que la collecte de la courbe de charge n’a jamais été sur consentement seulement, puisque la base légale par défaut est au contraire l’opposition.
Bref, des articles faits par IA sans rien comprendre au sujet…

It takes time for the slop, bit rot, platform changes, and a decline in the OSS infrastructure to percolate into a real catastrophe. The stuff we’re seeing fail now is the software equivalent of forgetting to bolt an airplane door plug. The stuff that should worry us is the software equivalent of a fractured, but holding, bolt

@jsbarretto I feel like the fact you CAN use the AtProto protocol (bsky) but you will have an incredibly difficult time getting anyone else to join your Boutique Lil Blog But Also You Can Post Here is missing something. People join blue sky like they join Twitter. There's not a good chance that the non-venture bsky instances will stack up. Fedi has a by-design variety. Local, special interest, etc. not The Big One Good

I don’t follow many people. I’m very intentional about how I use social media because low spoons

But, based on bios and photos, I’ve realised that I follow only one or two Black people.

That’s not okay.

Please boost Black creators and recommend people I should follow. I'm also actively looking. I need to do better.

EDIT: Reposted because I realised having this post as followers only is part of the problem.

Cool

However, a metric can be obtained for these values by removing the exponent of 1 / p

oh, so it's wildly non-smooth around x = 1

We had some issues with the ticket site yesterday, but it is back up and running now.

Please remember that T-shirts and hoodies must be ordered by this evening so that the print job can go ahead.

Ticket sales are still ongoing! There are also discounted tickets available, and you can still sign up as an ‘Angel’ or apply for press accreditation.

We’re looking forward to 2½ fantastic days at #FediDay with you all!

Our thoughts to those impacted by the wildfires in Indonesian Borneo.
Triggered by El Nino, the smoke and haze is already spreading, potentially making this one of the worst fire seasons.

@jschuster Another problem is we're all tech-focused: we look for a tool or language or "one weird trick" that's going to make a difference. But education operates in a social sphere as much as anything else. If 90% of students hate a syntax, you won't succeed, no matter how brilliant you think your idea is. (And at some level, your idea is…not successful! 90% hate even the most basic entry point!) ↵

El #fediverso ha tenido muchos símbolos distintos aunque sólo uno es reconocido por la mayoría de las personas. Entérate de la historia de estos símbolos en el siguiente artículo (en inglés) https://stefanbohacek.com/blog/the-history-of-the-fediverse-logo/

@jschuster Another problem is that adoption rates are tiny. High school teachers are too busy, college professors are too opinionated. People look to research not as a guide but as reassurance. If it matches their belief, see, it's great! If it doesn't, "that doesn't apply in my setting". You may even know some professors who are prone to saying such things. (-: ↵
