Well, I filed my 1st Mastodon issue (a suggestion that's probably only comprehensible if you follow #w3c #patcg #w3cpatcg meetings or obscure #privacy nerd articles) and there is already a pull request in to deal with it. Impressive

Huh. Wishful thinking, but I wonder if it’s actually getting to him. This isn’t his only whiny shitpost about #Mastodon.

This one is for all the new people on #Mastodon: did you know that the #fediverse has more than just a microblogging replacement? And that they can all interoperate with your Mastodon account?

Check them out!

Facebook replacement: Friendica
Instagram replacement: Pixelfed
YouTube replacement: PeerTube
Spotify replacement: Funkwhale
MeetUp replacement: Mobilizon
Reddit replacement: Lemmy
Podcasting replacement: Castopod
GoodReads replacement: BookWyrm

Tired: Crossposting to Mastodon

Wired: Crossposting to Twitter

Also Mastodon is the only social media where I've seen Ublock have nothing to block

Sometimes websites open small pop-up windows that do not load all the menus, address bars etc. e.g. during paypal payment.

That is fine in most cases, but I need access to some plugin symbols such as the password manager and ad blockers.

How can I tell Firefox to always show me these even if the callig websites tries to not have them show up?

If you can't help, please boost :)

A serious note on #FollowFriday, heavily inspired by @researchfairy toots today, is that your list of X Type of Person can also be Y person's hitlist for harassment campaigns. Much better to discover people more organically or through themselves and their own hashtags unless the person you're intending to Follow Friday has given their consent to be on an additional-exposure list. 1/2

For those who don't know the tech industry, here's a rundown on the impact the #twitter layoffs will have:

It's going to cause an avalanche mass-exodus that will all but wipe out the company. Companies fear this kind of thing, believe me, and I've seen it happen with far less cause.

The top talent, principal and distinguished staff will have started looking, probably fairly publicly, back when Musk first made the bid. The senior staff will have certainly caught on and followed suit.
