Oh, this is wonderful. I’ve just subscribed. Thank you!
I like DW and used to follow the Inside Europe podcast, but they had a lot of British and Irish people presenting the shows which sort of dampened the feeling of escapism I had been enjoying.
I think XMPP is a nice supplement to ActivityPub instances for more private chat. You can quite easily hook the user database of Mastodon or Lemmy to an XMPP server and have the same user address work for both that way.
XMPP via its pubsub implementation could function similar to ActivityPub, but that part of XMPP is a bit neglected as few apps use it for anything more complex. XMPP’s real strength is in real-time communication and I think it’s good to stick with that.
Bluesky is a lot easier to use fresh out of the box. Even though their feature set is quite similar, Mastadon has a clunky and confusing UI, and still lacks a native iPad app-- instead they offer a poorly ported iPhone app.
That’s led to more people using Bluesky, and it snowballs from there.
Wore hard contacts back when those were a thing. Trained myself to look straight down when I drop something. No pause, don’t look for the thing, look straight down immediately, catch it on the bounce.
Caveat: This does not work when a spring pops on your project. Place a flashlight flat on the floor and scan. My gunsmith has a sweet trick for springs. Take it apart inside a bag.
Except the US Federal Court determined that Google has indeed engaged in anti competitive behaviour. Gemini apparently doesn’t want to share that little nugget of information.
If Brazilian fediverse is anything like English fediverse, its community was probably tied up in discussions who to deferderate from next and vegan cat food instead of promoting Mastodon.
