As another vegan, I prefer to forage for my dreams, or if I'm feeling patient, intentionally grow them.

@gamingonlinux

I'm really just wondering if I'm actually going to notice any real benefits with a Steam Controller, over using an old Xbox controller? I don't really see any standout features in the specs. Magnetic stick controllers? The xbox sticks work fine. There was some weird sounding centrifugal grip sensor or something, but how many games will support it?

Os this different to Let's Encrypt?

#EFF #Certbot #LetsEncrypt

Welcome to all #NewHere, inc. our #Forkiverse pals!

A couple of things a bit different here:

*Hashtags: Use em to fill and filter your feed and get found. Add to sensitive topics like politics to help others filter for their mental health.

* You're the algorithm: There's no algo pushing stuff, so Boost Hard: Boost Harder with a Vengeance! Favoriting is for humans, not algo's.

*Alt text matters: There's a lotta people with #accessibility needs, so many only boost images with #AltText.

For all you new #Forkiverse peeps... *gestures invitingly*

@pj
I feel like I'm just asking to be trolled here, and that I should be wearing The Matrix style leather jacket and shades as I ask this, but...

"What IS the Forkiverse?"

@alice
Wait... is that... CLIPPY hiding there in plain sight? Is Microsoft finally admitting that copilot is just another useless, annoying, pushy distraction getting in the way?

"You look like you're trying to write something meaningful! Would you like me to replace that with the average of a million strangers shitposting on the Internet?"

@bkahn
It depends.

Can #Peertube show videos to your audience? Sure!

Can people like, subscribe and comment? Yep! Using almost any Fedi account, such as any Mastodon account.

Will it bring you tons of views? Not like #YouTube, but it'll be more honest about how many people *actually* watched your video.

Tbh discoverability still sucks, so don't depend on tons of strangers finding your stuff, but as a place to build a video community with the Fedi or email list it's great and getting better!

@gabek

Sounds like it's time for a cease and desist letter from your local paralegal. At the very least, you can contact the abuse email for their web domain.

@gabek

If they have a domain, then they have a registrar and a public contact for abuse. If you can show the registrar they're using your trademark without permission, the registrar will need to take the domain down. That won't take down their crypto coin, but it will remove any reference to you and the veneer of respectability and trust from their website.

@gabek

Ah, sorry. I misread your post. I thought you were saying they had a link to you on their webpage, thus, you knew the domain.

If it's an anonymous token linking to you, at least put up a warning on the page of your site they link to. They're linking to you to try and piggyback on the trust for your project. If your site has something that destroys people's trust in their coin, they won't want that association any more.

You can also look up the name of the coin to try and find who is associated, especially if they have a public facing site, or incorporation.

Out of interest, what is the name of this coin? Is it traded on Coinbase or other similar exchanges?

I'm no expert, but these seem like the first steps.

@evan

Never have, unless you include computer graphics conferences like Siggraph.

@cwebber
Wait... are you about to launch FediNFT™ at *last*?!

😉

@eniko

I'm not excited for Minecraft updates, but I'm excited for this. :)

#KitsuneBlocks

@fediforum
Just a suggestion... I had to dig deep into your site for quite a while before I managed to find the answer to what should be a pretty basic question: is this event in person or online?

Eventually I found it, at the very bottom of a long FAQ separate to the home page. Ut would be helpful though if wherever you mention it being an unconference you put the word "online" beforehand to make it clear.

It may also encourage more people to participate making it clear there's no travel involved.

@youronlyone
"Spicy" is just an abbreviation of "neuro spicy" which is just a more fun way of saying neurodivergent.

Cue Monty Python's (Quebec?) French Taunter...

@r000t @apps

Does it though? I mean, most normal people would assume that just clicking a link wasn't going to spy on them and give the website owner information about them, so to me, delivering a link that strips away the tracking parameters actually follows the principal of least surprise more than one that doesn't. You're delivering a link that only takes people to where they expect to go and nothing else, which seems closer to most people's expectations than also informing the site owner about them unexpectedly.

@evan

When someone can adequately define intelligence without hidden undertones of it basically just meaning "Like humans", I'll get back to you on this one.
