Like mold... Wait, that'd not be a good thing, would it?
@Chuff is out there, but doesn't seem to Federate, this still needs be sorted, but as of today I'm also @Chuff
Why? Because the wonderful thing about being me, is that there's so many of me. No? I've always been crazy, but it keeps me from going insane?
Ok, in all seriousness, I'm very fond of Tumblr, I like the interface, and I've collected a great group of accounts to follow, isn't that what makes or breaks a social media experience? Obviously this is the great test, I don't think Wafrn offers the features that would make me leave Friendica, at least not yet, but we'll see if'n that comes around. Community can obviously be built by copying over everyone I follow here, and so that just leaves software, gotta figure out what works with Wafrn on Android, preferably Foss, because while I might be forced to use Android (or iOS), doesn't mean I can't keep my phone clean as possible. At the very least, it stands a good chance of replacing my Holos, and Mastodon accounts, with Loops possibly being replaced to, as I believe it does allow video files.
Rights aren't rights if someone can take them away. They're privileges. That's all we've ever had in this country, is a bill of temporary privileges. -- George Carlin
@TimWardCam and in 1948 most the nations of the world, after a particularly nasty world war, laid out the current version of human rights in the Univeral Declaration of Human Rights. This was regardless of economic or political system in a country. There had never been a human rights manifesto like that before for the non-elites of the world. So that's a baseline no matter what the oligarchs do next with their new world order. un.org/en/about-us/universal-dβ¦
Can anyone help me get them? IIRC their site is in Germany, and isn't set up for export sales, and I haven't seen them here in the FSA (Fascist States of America, that's what I'm calling if from now on).
Discover Canadian-made social media alternatives like Pixelfed and Loops. Privacy-focused, open-source platforms built by Canadians who prioritize community over profit.
are you the only canadian lead developer on the fediverse? if it's going to be about Canada, you should try and find out if there are other federated services with a large degree of canadian development
Can't believe I'm pointing this out to a Canadian, but don't let the USA claim the name of your continent! Pixelfed is American, but not from the USA. π And of course, I'm also falling into this trap from time to time...
I've got an unlocked phone, and I'm planning on leaving soon, just gotta see who's the best with around 15G of data per month on prepaid, preferably a priority company.
Last week we noted how the Trump FCC, at the direct request of wireless phone giants, destroyed popular rules making it easier and cheaper to switch wireless carriers. The rules, applied via spectrβ¦
It is very very very very very very very very very very very very very bad, because if they can enter immigrants' homes without a warrant, then they can enter anyone's home without a warrant. The idea that the Fourth Amendment can be overridden by an "administrative warrant" issued by an employee of the very agency that wants to fuck with you is ludicrous, and if we had a serious Supreme Court it would be shot down immediately.
Some scammers are pretending to be Mastodon admins and asking people to "verify" their accounts by clicking on a link, which then asks for their card details or other sensitive info.
DO NOT CLICK THE SCAM LINK!
GENUINE MASTODON ADMINS WILL NEVER ASK YOU TO VERIFY!
There is a real verification system on Mastodon, but it's entirely optional and does not involve credit cards. Genuine verification is voluntary and based on website ownership.
In some ways this is a sad development, but on the other hand the Fedi has clearly gained sufficient traction to make it worth while scammers targeting uses on it. I have boosted for reach.
No, I don't think so, but this way you can basically focus on updating the page and have it be evergreen. I was thinking of the new users that maybe don't federate with everyone yet so might not even see your account. Could be good for us old hats too to see what we missed if we're offline. @FediTips
Yes, there were several previous waves last year. But a lot of new people have joined since then so wanted to make sure they were aware of this being a scam π

The #documentaryinvestigates how #Russia steadily expanded its presence in Crimea and, in #violation of #InternationalLaw, sought to seize control of the peninsula from the moment #Ukraine declared independence in 1991, through #military assaults, political schemes, and even #coup plots.

Stop. It's not a documentary about the future. It's a sci-fi/fantasy show about the present. It always has been.
There's a new website in NZ called OK Bouquet, where you can search in your local area and see if anyone local is selling flowers from their gardens. There are quite a few flower farms/florists on there, but there's also local people who make bunches of flowers from their gardens.
I put a jar of Floret zinnias up on there to see what happens. Who knows if anything will come of it, but it's an interesting concept.
I never applied for an amateur radio license because I didn't like the idea of appearing on an official list of "skilled" people. Until now that was a theoretical fear. One I wasn't even sure if it was warranted or just me being overly cautious.
In Belarus things escalated quickly. Radio amateurs - usually recognized as men of goodwill - have been declared enemies of the state and publicly shamed and indicted for high treason.
During the 2nd world war, both sides confiscated amateur radio equipment; however my understanding is that Germany did it a lot sooner; I'd heard that in the UK those amateurs turned into people fixing stuff in the field, but in Germany they went the other way and engineered the equipment to survive in the field with less help.
