  • I realize I'm not entirely free yet, but I sleep better ever since I changed to a non-Google Android ROM. Also because the path to proper mobile Linux feels shorter now.

    Anyone still on Google Android: Look into making the change. It's worth it.

    And if not, at least start getting your apps from F-droid whenever possible.

  • Mastodon: Our ideas about Packs

    Jump

  • I guess in a way that's what it offers, just that instead of an algorithm it's human curated. Mastodon is a lot about boosts, so following someone doesn't mean just following them, but also being subjected to whatever they boost (unless you silence their boosts of course). So if you're interested in pottery and you follow a pottery starter pack, chances are that feed will end up a curated channel of pottery content.

    The great thing is that it has quality control and cannot be abused the same way algorithmic feeds always end up being. The funky thing is, of course, that you also end up being exposed to everything else those people are interested in. But I think that's part of what makes Mastodon feels so nice.

  • I think Wafrn communicates also with Bluesky! But I'm not sure how well it works.

    That Mastodon at least makes an effort to present content in a meaningful way is a great thing for the fediverse. It's hard to imagine Bluesky growing into a huge set of different services when the mothership refuses to display more than 300 characters.

  • I think the communication between the different platforms in itself is also something new and exciting that is brought to the table. Like when a comment on Lemmy suddenly starts making the rounds on Mastodon because it works well as a stand-alone toot.

    I also like the potential for services to evolve more naturally. I honestly don't think Mastodon is all that similar to Twitter, or PieFed all that similar to Reddit. Sure, they started out as similar concepts, but they develop in pretty different directions.

  • I mean, it self-identifies as a hellsite. I think they are making some active decisions to make sure their appeal is not too broad. Probably not a bad idea honestly, as long as a large user base is not a goal in its own right.

  • TIL in the 2010 Gaza Freedom Flotilla nine activists were killed by Israeli forces.

    Jump

  • Well, it's not unlikely, but Israel are reluctant to kill European whites because there's a slight chance European leaders would actually care. So they stress how Greta Thunberg is doing great in their fascist news flashes. Meanwhile thousands are starving - they are murdering them all by refusing aid from entering. Each boat intercepted is murder.

  • Nine ships intercepted as of 0:33. Apparently the israelis are shooting with water cannons to try to deter the others from continuing, hopefully they lack the capacity to board all the remaining ships before dawn. 33 ships remain on their way to Gaza, one of which (the Marinette) is significantly behind the others.

  • Ted Cruz says ‘stop attacking pedophiles’ in embarrassing gaffe

  • Exactly this. If you try ticking a grizzly bear it's a mistake even if it is intentional.

    But again, I'm not a native speaker so I'm not saying this is the correct interpretation of the word, but that's the impression I get from the dictionary.

  • Yeah, I guess these links are not all that useful to most people here unless they also have Mastodon accounts or something. I like to try to link other parts of the Fediverse when relevant, but I guess it's really limited how useful it is.

    I saw Rimu post something about working more towards mastodon integration in Piefed at some point, and for Mbin users at least it makes sense.

  • It's an active campaign to raise awareness and demand safe passage. The more we talk about them the less likely Israel is to get away with intercepting. So we talk about them as much as we can now that they are well within reach of Israeli state terrorism.

  • The Global Sumud Flotilla has now entered what they refer to as the danger zone outside the coast of Egypt, north of Suez. You can and should follow them live on their website. @Vegard@fribygda.no is the only person I'm aware of posting directly to the Fediverse from the first wave, but an unofficial channel is keeping us posted over at @globalsumudflotilla@mastodon.bida.im .

    Rising public awareness about the flotilla puts pressure on governments to ensure their safety and to react if Israel infringes on their rights to sail in international waters and to open a humanitarian corridor. Anything we do to spread the word helps build pressure - this is one of the few times sharing stuff in social media is actually directly helpful. And unlike a lot of content from Gaza it can be a hopeful rather than (only) depressing message.

    The next wave of the flotilla—Thousand Madleens to Gaza—is currently passing by the south of Greece. You can follow the French delegation at @1kmadleenfr@mastodon.social and the the Danish delegation at @thousandmadleensdenmark@radikal.social .

    In other news I just re-watched Dunkirk yesterday. It's a powerful story about what a flotilla of civilian ships can be capable of.

  • Touché. Gotta admit I didn't think it through properly, there's probably a bunch of other things as well. Point is I think I've provided the music industry with more money than it strictly deserves.

    Especially with the price of concerts these days. Jesus.
