   I recently got to hear about FOSS Gaming, which aims to aggregate RSS feeds from all sorts of FOSS game projects into one site: https://fossgaming.codeberg.page/

   I checked the Codeberg repository and saw someone had already opened a pull request to add Box Smasher! However since I hadn't added an RSS feed on the Box Smasher website it wouldn't be able to populate the news articles from there.

   So of course I added an RSS feed on the website and left a link to it in the PR. :)

   RSS feeds are great!

   HEY EVERYONE DOING PROTESTS LISTEN UP

   One addendum to the last post:

   We need to do our own reporting. We need to talk about these protests. To everyone. You need to post about them, at least to say you did them, that you were there.

   The media’s not reporting it, so WE HAVE TO REPORT IT INSTEAD.

   Which is one reason why I’m writing all this up. WE have to spread the news, because THEY will NOT.

   Seriously, the fash podcasting littleman I talked about last post? He was literally the ONLY media to show up. No other media was there.

   So once again, we have to be that media. For real.

   The Associated Press, and the rest of the press, should know that White House events aren't something that interests me. It will be a parade of lies, with a sprinkling of verbal abuse of reporters. The truth will not be found there.

   So the AP should tell the White House to shove it. And then go outside and report on the yawning chasm between what the President is actually doing, and what he claims he is doing.

   @gwr You would have been welcome to ping me sooner to remind me to response, im sworry it took a week. I totally missed your message. I get a lot of messages and sometimes a few get lost in all the noise.

   Also if you ever need support our entire team is better reached via Matrix. We have about a 15 person team here, and any development activity can be seen from there.

   So the latex and markdown we know, and its unrelated to QOTO directly. Long story short the engine that makes that possible (MathJax) has a CSP related bug and anyone using that tool anywhere has it broken now on browsers it seems. That wont be able to be fixed until they fix it upstream. Though we are lookinginto Katex.

   The issue you have with favorite domains and subscribing.. what exactly are the symptoms? As far as I know those should be working, if they arent this is the first im hearing of it.

   I should not be allowed to have power tools.

   After weeks of putting it off, I finally opened the jigsaw and had a go at cutting some edges off these shelves.

   (My tv is a couple of centimetres too big for this gap. I thought it would be better to make the gap bigger than to get a smaller TV.)

   We already tried removing the shelves and they *will not* come off the wall. It's extremely weird. There's nothing visible on the shelves that looks like a mechanism for releasing whatever internal design has them floating there.

   So the next plan: cut a few centimetres off the edge of each shelf.

   I think they're made of particle board with a veneer applied to all the surfaces. Removing the veneer does not reveal any useful secrets.

   I unpacked the jigsaw, carefully studied the instructions, measured & marked where I want to cut the shelves.

   Made a little test cut on part of a shelf that I'm planning to discard. Seemed fine.

   Put on the parallel-cut guide to make the first real cut and. Uh. Didn't tighten it properly. So the cut was too far in & I will have to repair it at some point.

   Okay fine I don't care much about these shelves anyway. And I like the look of repaired damage, it adds charm. Like visible mending on clothes.

   So. Parallel-cut guide properly tightened, I tried again.

   Got about a third of the way in, and the saw started juddering. Like it had hit a different kind of material. Metal maybe?

   I have a metal blade but it took me a while to think of trying it.

   Meanwhile it's getting later in the day and probably not a good time for someone living in an apartment building to operate power tools.

   Also, if something goes catastrophically wrong, I'm here on my own and have no-one to save me from my bad decisions.

   Aaaaaaargh.

   Will I put the TV back for now and resign myself to living with this awkwardness for weeks (possibly months) to come?

   Yeah I will. Fuck it.

   Wall-mounting this TV is now a problem for Future Chicken to solve.

   @rapha3l I'm not really sure, to be honest, but I got a feeling that it's sort of both.

   What I know for a fact, is that it's the same as if you entered the remote post's URL into your Mastodon instance's search bar. But I'm not 100% sure what doing this does to federation.

   AFAIK, 'federation' isn't a binary matter. I.e. it doesn't appear to be a question of two instances exchanging everything or nothing.

   As far as I can tell, federation (at least in the context of Mastodon) is based on who follows whom and what. That's why, for example, even though I follow several people on mastodon.social, I still need to fetch many replies from there.

   So, I think that's what's happening here: The two instances will be federated in that they are aware of one another, but they won’t be exchanging every message going forward.

   That is my understanding anyway. I hope someone will correct me if I'm wrong.
