On my agenda today:
- set up my #RaspberryPi5 / install #Linux (Ubuntu MATE most likely)
- permanently delete my inactive 3 bird app accounts
- draft a new post for #TheFutureIsFederated about data sovereignty and my plans for the next 4 years
- finish reading #NeilPostman’s superb “Building a Bridge to the 18th century”
- chin up, be defiant and resist

ICYMI: this is the latest #blog I wrote on my personal site: “The rebellion will be federated” https://elenarossini.com/2024/11/the-rebellion-will-be-federated/

Finally a platform referencing all Free/Libre software actors in Europe! 🤩

https://www.openmindsproject.eu/?LesOrganiations&lang=en

All actors? Sadly no: the focus is on non-profit associations, social and cultural actors. Indeed, those have less financial means at their disposal, they deserve to find resources that can fit their budget.

Please retoot 🐘 📢 🆓💻🔥

PS: you can add FOSS more actors ➕

Open source Ghost cms now has an official account on Bluesky.

They even validated their account with official domain handle

If you have a domain, you can do the same and use it for all atproto based apps

Twitter is just god-awful now. And Threads is worse in a different way. Thank #FOSS for Mastodon.

Mountain Mindset @mountainmindset@mountains.social · 2 months ago

In my quest to learn more sustainable regenerative ways to support free open source software and the fediverse together I found an example worth sharing. For the past 15 years, Bigstock Fundraiser has been on a mission of raising funds through philanthropic events, for local charitable and benevolent causes. A team of volunteers has created a festively fun experience to enjoy two days of music in the mountains as a fundraiser!

Hosted at Hoodoo Ski Area in Central Oregon. The fundraising benefits two local non profits; Oregon Adaptive Sports & Cascadia Wildlands. This success can be replicated around the world. Truly a fun way to help other people supporting great causes! It also creates a thriving ecosystem of jobs for the vendors & support staff. Small groups of people can do big things together. Band shown is Greensky Bluegrass.

LibreOffice @libreoffice@fosstodon.org · 2 months ago

Free Software (like #LibreOffice) is about far more than just zero-cost. It’s about the freedom to use, share and modify the software that we all rely on. Make sure that the European Commission doesn't cut funding for Free Software: https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2024/09/13/bring-back-free-software-funding-give-your-feedback-to-the-european-commission/ @fsfe #foss #opensource

On Nostr you can post "Olá, Brasil" and then people zap you around $25 worth of tips ... how cool is that?

zaps payment still too complicated for new users to setup though

atproto (bluesky whtwnd etc) and activitypub (mastodon pixelfed etc) do not currently support post "tipping". Fediverse could use something like this

OMG! My first PR for Mastodon has been merged!!

https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/26910

ICYMI, this fixes a really big (IMO) problem where, by default, you don't see replies from everyone when viewing a thread. More details in my design doc here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1YpdrZVTrk-yt0GpnSxuDybYvFQOA0B-IfkELBYNwSOg/edit

My sincere hope is that this helps with redundant responses and "dogpiling" because hopefully people will be more aware that they're not seeing the whole conversation, and will click through to see that the comment they're about to add has already been added.

🥳
