Ugh, ugh, ugh! This is a way to (1) keep Americans uninformed by not funding *real* news coverage on #NPR and #PBS and to (2) ensure that many #poor #people around the world stay #ill, get no help with #disasters, and get no help when they #migrate or are #refugees.

🥳 Happy to share that we (well, Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology (LIST)) have now become an OMG member

Our immediate goal is to contribute to the #Portability and #Interoperability of Neural Networks #RFP and propose our #neuralnetwork #metamodel as the basis for that.

Looking forward to collaborating with other companies to improve / merge / expand our view on #modeling neural networks💪💪 and helping organizations #migrate and #exchange their network definitions.

The #NN metamodel is implemented in BESSER.

Being able to #migrate your #followers to another account on a different #instance is a beautiful feature. Everyone should try it once, if only just for fun!

Yes, you can't take your posts with you. But your old account won't be deleted after #migration (unless you choose to). It will just be marked as superseded. All your posts will keep being accessible, can be found via search, can be linked to etc.

Btw, I migrated from #Fosstodon after some similar bs happened in 2023.

Hello Fediverse! #introduction

dComms is a project by eQualitie that provides a curated and secure deployment of decentralized communication tools for civil society including #Mastodon #Peertube #Element #DeltaChat etc. #dComms creates small-world networks for reliable communications in low-bandwidth environments, resistant to censorship and shutdowns.

We are now actively working on server deployments in partnership with NGOs in 5 countries and help local communities #migrate to the Fediverse

I always loved to be able to backup of the home folder on #linux and basically take that from one install to another without loosing anything important. But with #flatpak installed inside the user folder, it adds another layer of magic. I was already amazed, when I realized the appeal of user partitions on linux, some years ago. Windows has nothing comparable.

I’m looking for a tool to to #migrate #Instagram follows to #Mastodon or #Pixelfed.

I’ve used similar tools to find and follow old Twitter connections on Masto & Bluesky. But can’t find anything for Insta.

Most of the music community, frustratingly, isn’t budging from Insta. I think being able to recommend something like this could help!

The way to migrate is built into the Mastodon web app.
Go to Preferences, click on Import & Export, click Export, click Request an archive.

It will take some time, but you'll get a download link. Download to your computer. BTW, this is how you backup your Masto-life. You should do it often.

The page also includes lists of follows, mutes, block, etc. These are CSVs and they are human readable in Excel or Numbers.

Create an account on another instance ASAP.

Return to Preferences on the new instance. Click on Import & Export. Click on Import. Click Upload and specify your downloaded archive.

You can also import "Data." I think (but don't know) that this will restore lists of things like who you follow. Seems dicey to me since following is regulated... Worth a try, maybe it requests that you follow. Try it.

DO THIS NOW. Then toot to your timeline that you have a new account. Those who are interested can follow it.

I may have missed a detail, so the sooner you try this or Google it further, the better off you will be.

HTH

[Edited: Added more information regarding CSVs.]

I started posting in #Mastodon in 2018 but recently I #migrate the instance to mastodon.social. If you are curious and want to see what did I post before, just check my frozen profile at mastodon.cloud/@torresburriel

Most #birds #migrate at night, when it’s more difficult to identify them visually and while most birders are in bed. For over a century, acoustic monitoring has hovered tantalizingly out of reach as a method that would solve #ornithologists’ woes...software called BirdVoxDetect, the result of a collaboration between New York University, the #Cornell Lab of #Ornithology, and École Centrale de Nantes, identifies the bird and classifies it to the #species level. technologyreview.com/2024/12/1 #migration

AI is changing how we study bird migration

If you’ve ever had to leave an instance behind too soon, or hopelessly tried to find an old post in an archive you kept; you know the feeling of loss.

With #Posty you can turn that Mastodon archive into a functioning static website, with (my favourite part) a tag index.

See an example of what’s possible in the post below.

@Etche_homo @pomarede i decided not to establish my presence in any service that doesn't allow me to #migrate my #social #network to another #server / #selfhost easily. There are really good posts detailing how #enshittification happens for every service with high exit cost. Therefore I'm fully supporting open #protocols (such as activity pub, rss or email) over services.

gov.uk/check-uk-visa is awesome and gov.uk/check-uk-visa/y/usa/wor probably applies to many people considering the UK.

I'm going for UK naturalisation soon, whenever I can pass the awful Life in the UK Test. (New residents don't need to think about LitUK prep or anything, but the fees for any application are expensive.

You also generally have to apply from your country of nationality (/ residence?) in advance, but I will check on that. Might have changed, too, tbf.

gov.uk/entering-staying-uk
Anyone with professional qualifications, especially "Health and care professional, Digital technology professional, Academic or researcher, Work in arts or culture, Professional sportsperson, Religious worker, I want to start a business."

gov.uk/skilled-worker-visa
According to gov.uk/skilled-worker-visa/you, "The minimum salary for the type of work you’ll be doing is whichever is the highest of:

£38,700 per year, OR the ‘going rate’ for the type of work you’ll be doing."
I work(ed) in IT and never came close to that. Unfortunately, this particular route is not likely to include most people under 35, except maybe the furries or something. (But other VISAs might be fine.)

gov.uk/check-uk-visa/y/usa/wor has a good amount of detail to start with.

However, the current nickname of 'TERF Island' is worth bearing in mind. If people have british or irish family, probably still less disruptive to come here, but their HRT is very likely to be disrupted following the stil-upheld Cass Review (or report, icr).

People from or with Commonwealth Country family or birth certificates are also well-placed to come, but again, bear in mind the Windrush scandal, where the gov insisted on trying to deport people who were here perfectly lawfully ffs.

If you have a #freeaccount on #GitHub you should #migrate your #code to #another #repository before you'll be #prevented from #access the account - if you have not been yet.

I shall say this only once

P.S.: If you have a #paidaccount consider doing the same - there are #betterservices for the same price.
