Life is Tetris @tetrislife@qoto.org

@untakenusername Don’t forget that cryptocurrency also requires a rather advanced fundamental misunderstanding of economics.

A lot of people are confused by how someone so seemingly stupid as Elon Musk could become the richest person in the world, so they come up with all sorts of theories about how he must be secretly smart.

Allow me to explain: the world is stupid too.

@paninid To be fair the news is this way too.

@rolle And let me guess, some phanaticks are already up in arms against this feature and are threatening to fork the software and defederate any instance that implements this?

(I have no idea why they would do that, but I have a long experience in open source.)

I have arrived at the fusion phase of my cooking. I made some dhal with spaghetti and it was fine.

Made some progress on clone syncing in forte, which is our nomadic ActivityPub platform.

https://codeberg.org/fortified/forte

It's a derivative of the streams repository ( https://codeberg.org/streams/streams ) but we've now moved everything to ActivityPub and the Nomad/Zot protocol is finally being retired after 13 some-odd years.

Cheers.

re: Hubzilla app support... The Twitter/StatusNet API is provided as an addon, though it will only provide features that are available on Twitter or StatusNet. That's our problem with supporting the Mastodon API. You can't do anything more or different than Mastodon can do and you're stuck with the very limited and platform specific ways Mastodon does them. So there's not much point. But you can install Hubzilla as a PWA which will give you something on your handheld device with all the features available in desktop.

All the same things apply to streams and forte as Hubzilla, but we've made these both radically simpler. They still have features that will probably never make it into Mastodon. Groups, federated single sign-on, Events, Location services, audience and reply control, WebDAV, circles/aspects, granular media permissions, fediverse identity management/aggregation, etc.

Announce: Forte v25.3.12 released

Forte is the first fediverse platform to provide full nomadic identity (with near realtime sync of your cloned fediverse instances) completely over ActivityPub, using no other nomadic support protocols.

All of your content and media and settings and connections are migrated in near real time to the different instances of your identity, so you can switch to an alternate server at any time -- and if your original server comes back online after whatever bad thing happened, all your changes and recent posts and uploads will be sync'd back again.

Forte is compatible with Mastodon and all your other favourite fediverse platforms, but being based on the legendary streams repository - goes far beyond the Twitter experience with contained conversations, groups, integrated cloud storage, events, locations services, and more. We use it for instance to replace email, due to the wide range of features and lack of spam. We also like the way it handles fediverse identity management so that you can aggregate different fediverse tools and push content from all of them from a single fediverse account.

@fribbledom Waiting for the re-implementation in Rust …

On reddit someone posted a made up Trudeau quote and everyone is upvoting it. I commented that he didn't say it and we shouldn't promote made up shit just because we agree with the sentiment.
I was told I had to *prove* he didn't say it. And just the fact that there is no one reporting that he said it --something super inflammatory -- was not proof. It was also suggested that I must support Trump if I disagree with the made up facts.
That's.... that's not how this work.

What will it take for the remaining Unixes and Plan 9 to get together and modernize POSIX and other Unix standards? The web is at a crossroads and some leadership from the OS community would be really good right now. #postweb

I tend to re-phrase the statement, such that I'm discussing #SoftwareFreedom, a term that doesn't have those problems @contrapunctus

This also requires me to talk more about the people, whose freedom is important, and less about the software in isolation
