A developer in Korea just built a Fediverse server that runs directly on CloudFlare.

/r/fediverse users responded:
"this is cancer"
"you are a horrible person"

???

Can you please help me with a genuine question: what would make the #Fediverse a more welcoming place?

Yes, humans are just grumpy sometimes. But a real solution can't just be more HOA members reading the rules at the door.

What do YOU think would make a difference here?

There are a lot of smart people that have worked on data privacy, both developers/coders and tech thinkers.

We know what's needed, including guardrails like:

Sanitizing/separating data – some things just shouldn't be combined or ever provided for commercial purposes, like someone's monthly period cycle or individual mental health records

Outlawing data brokers – as long as there's a lawless business model that relies on combining & exploiting data, there will be hacks, leaks, and abuse

This lady doth protest too matcha #sorryNotSorry

what if I switch my shell on linux to powershell

Great new feature in the latest Signal app. If you enable disappearing messages the meta data of calls and missed calls gets deleted as well.

I know this was a long standing goal for them, but the engineering behind it took time.

#OtD 25 Jul 1867 Karl Marx wrote the preface to the first German edition of his masterwork, Capital. A "weapon in the hands of workers" (as Harry Cleaver called it), it remains the most powerful critique of capitalism ever written https://shop.workingclasshistory.com/en-gb/collections/books/karl-marx

Thanks Jaime Gama.

@ballpark_frank I like that this wasn't just a piece of jargon, we were literally burning discs. With a laser.

Timed near perfectly and we could gift our crushes recorded music! I miss being gifted files, I wish that was still a thing in this age of "streaming"...

You start by looking for a specific answer but wind up learning about the subject's history on one website, discovering a podcast about a related topic on a second site, then finding a discussion forum on something tangential. This is what Google is actively trying to discourage us from doing by having its A.I. do a search for you and serve it up on its own site.

@benpate @evan @laurenshof If I understand correctly what you mean by "trust relationships", this relates strongly to something I blogged about lately:

All popular platforms I know of in the fediverse offer connection-roles in more or less the same way as X and Instagram do. The role-system adopted by LinkedIn and Facebook offers higher trust relations on top of the simple "follow" model: "connections" and "friends", respectively. (I describe this in detail in the post I link below) I believe this is an important distinction, which may be the reason why Instagram and X are arguably more toxic than Facebook and LinkedIn.

Défendre l’écologie sans jamais la politiser, quitte à parler avec l’extrême droite : le credo du journaliste Hugo Clément lui vaut des critiques jusque dans le milieu écologiste.

Certains lui reprochent sa porosité et sa complaisance envers l’extrême droite.
