Oh for fuck's sake! I hate this timeline!🤦

@gamingonlinux
Hopefully it will work on the Steam Deck soon

@aral
I've received follow requests from accounts asking for donations and had put them on standby until i could verify them, some have been deleted in the meanwhile (scams i guess), but two remain, one you already mentioned and have approved and will donate as soon as possible (Nouran), but another one is not on the list, \@lolorenad, who last posted on August 29 and seems real

@aral
Earlier on a post elsewhere an European person expressed bafflement about how many positions considered normal and obvious in a decent society are considered "Radical Left Wing" on the US, and someone answered with "Helps to think of America like a white Saudi Arabia". Incredible how well it fits.

Pretty sure I've seen self-hosted alternative services for this same purpose, but never tangled with that so no idea how they compare

Once you're sleep-deprived enough, hell yes you can sleep sitting! 😅

Every time somebody defends the usefulness of AI for actual work i reply that it's very unreliable, and always they downplay it, "Humans do that too!" and other shit. Yeah right.

Used it to export all my following and followers, only wish it had something like a "--csv" option to produce a nice handy CSV file instead of a prettified display i'll end up turning into one manually, but oh well

@aral

Liked very much this response in one of the criticism issues:

@chrisg @aral

The issue tracker was filled with issues mocking this proposal or arguing against it, this morning a helluva lot of them were closed by the person in charge (it seems), who proceeded to post this: https://blog.yoav.ws/posts/web_platform_change_you_do_not_like/

Essentially dismissing off hand any ethical concerns and that any proposal should be technical, when the fact is that the very core of the idea is rotten. It reads very much as "don't criticize us, just help us build this electric fence around the web"

@mastodonmigration @feditips
I've seen there's various forks of Mastodon (Glitch, Hometown and possibloy others), plus there's Calckey, Misskey, Akkoma and others i'm forgetting that are similar enough.

Do we have guides on what's the difference *for the users*? Not for the admins, but for the users? Haven't found much yet and was wondering if there was an advantage of going for a server that isn't vanilla Mastodon

@aral

Anyone that understands the language can give a quick summary of what they're saying? For some reason translation in Fedilab isn't working well (it's returning the same text as the translation, helpful! 😂 ), are they agreeing with the admin or is it divided?

@aral

One claim I've seen *repeatedly* the last couple of days is that the people opposed to Facebook are elitist gatekeepers enforcing a purity of morality view. And I'm wondering how not wanting your face and your communities' faces eaten off is elitist gatekeeping.

@feditips
Need to look up how to embed remote media like pics and clips, it's gotta be similar
