    No.

    I know it is frowned upon by people around me. Some instances seem to discourage commercial activity, some attempt to restrict. But commerce is part of our social lives. If the fediverse functions as a social network it is inevitable that at least some of the commercial activities of our daily social lives appear here too. To ban it would be a restrictive act that will have far reaching consequences beyond commerce.

    @evan I do wear pants, but I am new to the term "hard" pants.

    @sun Thank you for answering the question. I deleted the original post thinking it was not clear enough!

    A huge tree frog, an ambassador of the upcoming rainfall season, is now inspecting our living room. I am okay with it as long as he doesn't want me to share my bedroom with him!

    The Rain Appreciation Society has mixed feelings about this.

    If I ever self-host another fediverse application, that would be #honk . For now, I am quite satisfied with #Pleroma.

    When someone says "We are going to block instance A, you too should defederate them and dissociate. If you are a user on that instance, leave immediately or else you too will be isolated", please remember to ask for reasons, evidence and factual substantiation. Also make sure you search the fediverse using your own search facility and other tools and see if you can find the chain of events that lead to the present situation. This will take time. But make sure you do this. This is specially important if you are an admin of an instance; if you are in charge of other people's accounts. In that case you are taking decisions that will impact on other people's freedoms and experience.

    It is a very good morning to Sinhala-speaking #Emacs users! You can now switch to #Sinhala (Wijesekara keyboard) from inside Emacs using Emacs keybindings without depending on the operating system's input methods and keybindings. Simply download sinhala-wijesekara.el and add it to your configuration file.

    https://codeberg.org/sinhala/emacs-sinhala-wijesekara

    Hopefully it will eventually join the rest of the input methods included in the official release https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Select-Input-Method.html

    I mean, the private ownership of the means of production brought us to the mess we are in right now. Small islands of free and open source software in the middle of a stormy sea of capitalism doesn't seem to work anymore. It isn't sustainable.

    All software should be nationalized and declared free and open source under workers' rule.

    It goes without saying that public funds should be allocated to software development and maintenance. This is the way to make sure that critical software that people's lives depend on are sustained without interruption. Overall public life and infrastructure increasingly depend on the availability of secure and stable software and the Internet.

    I think #SoftwareFreedom and #Socialism are inseparable.

    Oh, did I mention that the Internet should be nationalized under workers' rule?

    @morph @inscius I must confess that my dislike is caused partly by my ignorance of how QR codes work, and partly because I've seen QR codes are often used to direct people to web pages or PDF files, which could have been achieved more transparently by simply giving the web address!

    "Multiple scientific studies have shown that the risk of developing Long COVID is compounded by each reinfection. Wastewater data, now the only reliable metric to track the spread of the pandemic, shows that the average American has been infected by COVID-19 nearly four times. At the current trajectory, this figure will reach eight infections per person by March 2030. A similar reality undoubtedly exists throughout the world."

      5 years of the COVID-19 pandemic: The origins of a social catastrophe
      The COVID-19 pandemic has laid bare the incapacity of capitalism to deal with the problems of mass society, and that this social system is in an advanced state of regression.
