It seems to be one person that’s doing it manually across a number of communities?
I waddled onto the beach and stole found a computer to use.

Note: I’m moderating a handful of communities in more of a caretaker role. If you want to take one on, send me a message and I’ll share more info :)

They must have been editing the article back and forth. I also only saw “WebRender Layer Compositor”, but it’s organized nicely now


You mentioned being frustrated at Plausible. What did you not like about it?
I haven’t tried Plausible, but it seemed popular


The articles I’ve seen say that it was for the past 10 years of work, some amount of which was unpaid

With the revamp, Mastodon has the potential to expand its business, product, and mission, without being dependent on a single person’s leadership. It will also give Rochko a break, as he’s been singularly focused on Mastodon for the past 10 years.
Going forward, Rochko will continue contributing to Mastodon as an adviser. He has also been compensated with a one-time payment of €1 million, given that he took less than a fair market salary over the years while building Mastodon.
I don’t have insight into the decision making process that went into deciding on that amount, maybe it’s less than what he should have been compensated for, maybe it’s more. But it sounds like they reached that decision amicably


Hi Sarah,
Sorry for the delay in getting to this. We really appreciate the feedback! We’re currently working on an update to our site, and will continue to incorporate feedback over time.
We’ve iterated over these pages a few times, and while there is definitely more that we can do to improve it, I feel that we need a few different guides for each target demographic or use case. Ideally, someone will find their way to the appropriate resource, depending on the level of detail or transparency that they are looking for. The goal of the two guide pages above were mainly to explain what it is that our non-profit is doing, and how it differs from traditional social media. A lot of alternative social media platforms advertise transparency and a positive user experience, and so the guide pages above were intended for people who want an explanation on how the Fediverse can actually deliver on those promises.
Right now, the page we have for users that simply want to sign up for a platform is here: https://fedecan.ca/en/guide/fedecan/our-platforms
We can certainly improve the flow for users that want to get to that page, and the page itself. We haven’t prioritized that aspect, since we figured that users who are learning about one of the platforms might be going to it directly, instead of through our non-profit’s site.
Would you have some suggestions on what a page like that should include, or what you would like to see in the guides instead?
I have students who can help you with this stuff for free. If you’re interested, DM me.
We’d love the help and feedback, especially if it’s something that would complement their studies! Thank you for offering :)

Do this in order:
Install with LUKS full-disk encryption and Btrfs subvolumes for and @home so snaps are atomic.
Enable automatic snapshots with Timeshift or snapper.
Export your package lists:
dpkg --get-selections > packages.txtpacman -Qqe > pkglist.txtflatpak list --app > flatpaks.txtPut your dotfiles under version control and manage them with chezmoi or GNU Stow.
Use Flatpak for GUI apps, containerized toolchains (podman) for dev environments, and keep only system-critical packages in the distro manager.
Back up with Borg: borg init --encryption=repokey /path/to/repo ; borg create repo::$(date +%F) /home /etc --stats ; borg prune --keep-daily=7 --keep-weekly=4 --keep-monthly=6
Keep a small, bootable USB with the exact kernel/tools you use so you can unlock LUKS and mount Btrfs snapshots.
Test restores quarterly: restore a snapshot to a spare partition and boot it. Do that for a year and tell me reinstalling is fun again.


Can someone take the points and switch back 😄


Looks good!
I have one suggestion, the white text on bright green on the website is hard to read. Maybe you can pick different colors, or put borders around the characters.


That’s awesome, I haven’t seen many family software projects before.
Looking forward to seeing how it develops!


Very cool, it’s on my list of things to try out at some point
my family and I’ve been working on
I’m curious what this has been like, if you don’t mind sharing 😄 What is each person working on?


It looks like Social is the platform that released v1, and the other ones are still in various stages of development.
https://docs.bonfirenetworks.org/flavours.html#what-is-a-bonfire-flavour
My understanding is that “Bonfire Social” is very similar to Mastodon, with their own way of implementing certain features, and the other features in their funding campaign are still in development


They launched version 1.0 of a platform similar to and interoperable with Mastodon, and they’re doing a funding campaign for what projects they will work on next.


Also they have some art for those that participate:
The code is a commons, so art is offered as a reward. This campaign includes a limited‑run, hand screen‑printed artwork by Rocco Lombardi, the artist behind Bonfire’s icon and other illustrations.



For context, this is what reddit’s limited automod is like

I’m sure we can do better. For example, being able to use variables

Microsoft, for example, cancelled Khan’s email address, forcing the prosecutor to move to Proton Mail, a Swiss email provider, ICC staffers said. His bank accounts in his home country of the U.K. have been blocked.
Microsoft has since denied this, but they haven’t released much info on what they say happened instead.
A Microsoft spokesperson said that it had been in contact with the court since February “throughout the process that resulted in the disconnection of its sanctioned official from Microsoft services.” The spokesperson added that “at no point did Microsoft cease or suspend its services to the ICC.”
Khan’s email disconnection has sparked Europe’s fears that Trump could flip a “kill switch” to cut digital services through American tech giants, as the continent seeks to become less dependent on U.S. technology. Companies like Microsoft, Google, Amazon and others dominate Europe’s cloud and digital services sectors.
Microsoft declined to comment further in response to questions regarding the exact process that led to Khan’s email disconnection, and exactly what it meant by “disconnection.” The ICC declined to comment.
They also said that they’ll be adding legal clauses that would stop them from doing that, but I’m not sure how much that actually helps in practice.


I’ve had a smoother time with Bluetooth since switching to Linux than I did on Windows.
On Windows it would randomly disconnect, or I would need to manually forget and re-pair the device every few months. Now when I turn on the device, it reliably reconnects to either my phone or the Linux device, depending on which one it was connected to last.
Maybe it’s distro / device dependent


Snack compartment
I can confirm, we banned that user and set it to remove their content from lemmy.ca
You were one of the 7 users that got messaged when we were looking into a report about it
It’s possible that their accounts were grandfathered in and already marked as “different people”. During the next little while (the exact period is unknown, but let’s say 6 months), any new accounts from that IP may get banned, but especially those that are deemed “suspicious”.
We don’t know the exact details because Reddit doesn’t release the details. You might find someone here who can tell you about workarounds, but most likely you’ll get the advice to move on and find something new. Most people are here because they no longer want to use Reddit, and I’d say the vast majority is here because they chose to leave and not because of bans
If you add three back ticks (```) to the beginning and end of the list, it will format as a code block instead of a bunch of links
