You probably have one of these #apps on your phone right now.

But what if we told you that many of them were developed by former Israeli spies, fueling the occupation, surveillance, and #genocide in #gaza?

The International Furikake Association aims to launch an app in Indonesia by the end of the year to help manage the health of children there and improve their academic performance. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/08/05/japan/furikake-indonesia/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #furikake #health #children #apps #manga #kumamoto #indonesia

I perceive 3 fediverses..

fediverse-we-have: Has proven it works, and has delightful #apps to show for it.

fediverse-we-need: The future of #SocialNetworking, where it pervasively serves #people and #society at large.

#fediverse-we-get: Still unknown.

Imho the trajectory of #development of the fediverse-we-have does not lead to fediverse-we-need.

Fediverse-we-get on this path is either a nice #SocialMedia niche for a time, or eventual corporate capture and takeover. A corporate #SocialWeb.

Ik wilde al naar een andere notitie-app. Nu iets sneller.

Opties zijn Joplin of Logseq. Ben ook de notitie-functie van Murena aan het checken. Iemand die daarmee ervaring heeft? Plussen/minnen?
Must have: notitieboeken, snelkoppelingen, intern linken, tekstopmaak, op meerdere devices. Nice to have: tekenen. Niet nodig: Taken en agenda

One thing that really pisses me off personally is the #regression in terms of #Messenger#Apps.

My personal distaste and dislike for #proprietary, #SingleVendor & #SingleProvider #services like #Signal¹, #Telegram, #Discord², #WhatsApp, #Slack, #MicrosoftTeams, etc. aside:

  • WHY is there no #CrossProvider#Messenger to handle that shite?

  • WHY does everyone of these shitty providers think people want to download their #bloated#WebApp that takes up triple digit Megabytes if not entire Gigabytes and will gobble up all the #RAM and #CPU they can??

This problem ain't new and already got solved for corporate social media ages ago! (Not to mention actually good messengers!)

So yeah, consider this a call for a @gajim / #Gajim or @pidgin / #Pidginfor garbage platforms!

  • Cuz back in the day we had way worse messengers yet people actually made #AIM, #ICQ, #MSN, #QQ, #IRC & #XMPP work just fine from one single "phat" client!

  • Can we please get that back?
