@doliu666 I love the very well thought out poll options. Polls with false dichotomies are so annoying.

@trinsec
idk. Its quite minimalistic. OpenBoard was just an example. I personally use the Microsoft SwiftKey Keyboard, because it's at least not Google whilst being as good as Gboard.

Reminder of something hardly mentioned but very important.

Check what keyboard app you're using on your phone. There's no point in using a secure messaging app if all your texts are written on Gboard.

Good idea. Just made an edit.

So my fear came true. My mother has tested positive yesterday.

I'm not doing so good at all.

Interesting.

Btw, do you have any quarrels or nits to pick with the current "Fediverse" Wiktionary entry?

@freemo This was pretty much my programming language comming-of-age story, and why I chose Go (other than it had the keyword "chan").

@zleap @category_mirrory @mray
Hi, I'm the author of the two blog posts about the Fediverse.

I used email as solely an analogy. I didn't consider it to be part of the Fediverse. Email is *a* federated network indeed, but I always assumed and considered the Fediverse to be synonymous with *the* federated network built upon ActivityPub.

There seems to be an issue of etymology with "Fediverse". I've seen lots of opinions, retronyms, back-formations, redefinition, etc.

I took a small stand and authored the Wiktionary entry for "Fediverse":

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Fediverse

As mentioned there, I've also come across "the federation" and "the free network". I wrote what seemed the most sensible and exclusive definition (otherwise, why define a new word to not to be more specific in our speech?).

There are perhaps others who are more qualified to define those terms. The Internet is older than me. @cwebber@octodon.social ActivityPub co-edittor perhaps?

@mray
I always just assumed the Fediverse referred to networks using the ActivityPub protocol.

So that's what it's called! I love it.
