You really should encourage your contacts to use more secure channels than Twitter dms, especially for illicit behavior.

If you are a major contributor in a niche community, you can publicize your move with info of how to keep following you and syndicate links to your content on your desired platform for a set time then leave. On your desired platform let followers from Xitter know how to follow you (email, rss, bridgy, etc) if they don’t want to join your desired platform.

If you are mostly a content consumer or have FOMO, use a bridge not an account. DM all the friends you want to keep of where to find you then leave. Bird.makeup is a great Xitter bridge for the fedi.

In either case, there isn’t a reason to keep am account there.

Hashtags work on other fedi platforms, many people subscribe to lemmy communities elsewhere.

Specific to Ubuntu, not very open for collaboration, and operated by the company who owns the Ubuntu trademarks. Additionally they’ve made it unnecessarily difficult to install non-snap versions of many popular packages. (they removed non-snap versions from upstream Debian repositories).

Really Starlink should be absorbed into and ran by the UN. We only have so much LEO to use, one company is bound to become a monopoly and LEO is the world’s not any nation’s property.

I haven’t used Pixelfed, but does it fail to work with with microblogging fedi platform content so bad that you feel you’d have to use Mastodon? Outside of the group/community/threadiverse federation issues in Masto and Lemmy not letting you follow accounts, I my understanding was everything worked pretty well talking to eachoter.

Game engines and servers are great candidates for developers to collaborate their ideas into FOSS projects, but the model is harder to sustain for complete works.

While internet games can have subscription models where you pay them for doing game master type activities, moderation, and access to a hosted game server, static games are more like static art where you run into issues getting food and housing when you make your work output available for free. Crowdfunding / patreoning (in the larger sense of the word, not necessarily the app) creators / collectives can be a way for that to work, and we need to support more creators trying that model if we want to see more of it.

We really need to push for more right to repair laws and things not produced by the copyright holder (say for 5 years) should lose all copyright protections.

How would they know it’s emulated and not video captured from a real device? Are they only targeting when emulators are mentioned / shown in the window?

More reasons to switch to owning your content and hosting on your own platform or a PeerTube instance instead of only hosting on YouTube / Twitch - you can actually fight the takedown notice in court instead of having to accept that YouTube doesn’t. Not a legal expert but this seems like a winnable fair use case if you can prove you own the game legally and are using your own rom dump.

Well that’s a bummer but not surprising.

I wonder what a federated education marketplace could look like.

Some sort of (possibly locked) video hosting, maybe even Peertube, course discovery more like bookwyrm with lemmy style discussion forums? It’d be cool to have testing/assignment material like Blackboard built in too.

Additionally FB Marketplace killed Craigslist, at least in my area (also US). Nextdoor somewhat is a counter but that has its own problems.

I prefer scaled to active sort for that reason.

I agree though, more content and more content diversity would be great.

The small percentage that contribute content regularity in social media platforms instead of just consuming are great.

I’m too boring to have much content that would be good for anything other than microblogging myself though.

It’d be great if popular show casts like BBT would do more PSAs.

You can put Lemmy communities in lists so they don’t spam your home feed. https://fedi.tips/how-to-use-the-lists-feature-on-mastodon/

Cool to see that the app is just a nice wrapper to query OSM data and not using yet another dumb silo. Its also just a webapp and not a native app spying on your data. https://en.stnameslab.com/american-search-app/ is the app.

I wonder if this would make sense as a https://mapcomplete.org/ layer

If public transport mapping is your goal, it might make sense to try out the MapComplete Train Station https://mapcomplete.org/stations and Bus Routes https://mapcomplete.org/transit themes which give an easier, more focused, mapping interface. Quest apps like Street Complete can also make getting into OSM a bit easier, though OSM Beginners Guise is great too. https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Beginners'_guide

Yes! https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Public_transport though it is a bit complex to fully add routes, adding stops is super easy!

Neocities is trying to be a modern reincarnation https://neocities.org/

You really should. https://indieweb.org has a lot of resources.

Thanks for posting this, really highlights all the hard work, and congrats @nutomic!
