Or honestly I would love to have the option to migrate my data to another backend :x
How hard is it to migrate a mastodon instance to one of the forks? I'm curious to play around with my options
Shrek rave on trans day of visibility with some queer pals was pretty fun. 💜

Software that you cannot compile on a 8 core CPU in under 8 hours should not be called open source even if under a OSS license.
Why?
Do I have to have a f-ing mainframe to run your crap?
How am I supposed to reproduce your software?
In 2025 you will need a 120C CPU with TBs of memory to compile Chromium, and then it will still segfault because some boomer forgot to properly initialize a GTK object.
OSS corpo-ware is a load of crap.
For anyone curious, this is what I listen to to get through linux server deployments.

A source of new Fediverse accounts is dev.brighteon.social.
46,862 were discovered during the past day.
Brighteon is known for spreading misinformation and conspiracy theories all over Facebook and Twitter, and it looks like they’re trying their hand at the Fediverse now.
I’ve looked at the accounts on that server, and the overwhelming majority look like bots. The goal seems to be spamming misinformation.
I recommend putting brighteon.social on #Fediblock.

TIL you can use the #JavaScript `fetch()` API with `data:` URIs!
This means if you're using `fetch()` to load a URL in an application, a person can supply a data URI and skip the network entirely.
In particular this can make specifying data in query strings in a URL handle both remote URLs and inline data without an extra code path. 🤯

uspol / Wait, does the tiktok ban bill really ban VPNs?
Remember, the Tik Tok ban was originally proposed by Donald Trump, and I sincerely believe he did so because he was unpopular on Tik Tok and young people were using it to create posts causing problems for his campaign. Putin has long suppressed dissidents and journalists in Russia (and proxy states) by finding ways to define them as "foreign agents". Trump or DeSantis, students of Putin's techniques, would obviously not hesitate to try same.
Tee hee, time to write another streaming zip file parser in JavaScript to account for my specific use case. :P
Glad we have the DataView API now to make life easier.
It also just looks cool as hell:

It'd be nice if the web had a standard API for apps to register and configure keyboard shortcuts for #accessibility use cases.
E.g. right now Github has their own shortcuts, but if somebody wanted to hook them up to an alternative input interface for people with dexterity issues, Github would need to do it manually, or the user would need to stumble through it until they found a way to get at the shortcuts.
IMO every action on a page should be easy to navigate to with a reader or keyboard.
Once again bringing folks attention to https://unit.land which is a live visual #programming environment using #JavaScript under the hood.
One thing I find interesting is that it's a lot more mobile friendly than others. I'm thinking it'll be easier to use on my steam deck than on a phone or tablet with the joysticks / buttons.
The docs recently got updated so it's a bit more approachable: https://github.com/samuelmtimbo/unit/tree/main/src/docs/start
Practicing using #zsh after using plain old bash all my life. It's a bit of getting used to, but the main thing is I'm not looking forward to having to figure out how to customize my color scheme again. 😂

I just installed #fdroid on my #Android phone and now I'm outraged. This existed the whole time I've had an Android and I was led to believe I could only install apps from the #Google Play Store!? 😒 #tech #OpenSource
Instead of bridging everything to Matrix I should be turning all my chats into private RSS feeds. 😛
Low key wish I could use mastodon as my RSS reader. Apparently we all have RSS and Atom feeds? I should be able to just follow someone's non ActivityPub blog and comment on it with WebMentions. 😤
Honestly, I should be able to talk to my personal Mastodon account that way too.
Fucked up how capitalism incetivises governments to avoid giving people free food/shelter/medicine just so they can keep getting forced to destroy their bodies for jobs nobody would do otherwise.
One of the most successful aspects of it tbh! That's what people must mean when they say "It's the best system we have".

Remember folks... when 'something is punishable with a fine'
What it really means is 'Legal for a price'
Fines are nothing more than a tax on the poor. Because the wealthy find it easier to pay the fine than suffer the inconvenience of abiding by rules.

My brain is kinda exhausted from first wrestling with Linux and Ansible automation, and then wrestling with JavaScript type hell in trying to get some p2p libraries to work.
Gonna decompress before bed by live-coding a lil #p2p #gemini #microblog in #agregore with some basic #JavaScript and #HTML
So if you haven't yet, try installing the latest pre-release of Agregore and follow along.
