A few tweaks in the forthcoming Mastodon 3.4.0:

- new users can receive follow suggestions (it'll only suggest you if you've chosen your account to be discoverable, and you don't require follow request approval)

- "Lock account" is now "Require follow requests"

- when boosting, you can select Public/Unlisted/Followers-Only privacy for that boost

- When a post contains mentions of two or more users who have the same username, but on different domains, render their names with domain to help disambiguate them

No one is illegal! The Detention Center of #Rotterdam has been around for more than a decade, playing a big role in the criminalization and marginalisation of #refugees. A cynical symbol of #neoliberalism, the de facto prison was the first Dutch detention center built with the help of private corporations.

It's a good example on how the pain and suffering of war torn human beings is just another source of income for our rich overlords.

Our home is our planet, not arbitrary lines drawn in the sand or fenced off by barbed wires.

Turn your anger into action: come to the demonstration, show solidarity with people imprisoned in DCR and raise your voice for a world without borders!

Bill Gates doesn't believe in sharing vaccines patents with "poor" countries not because he is a reptile. He is just a capitalist asshole. Capitalism is a shit system that rewards such people. #covid #billgates #capitalism

quitting gnome for a tiled window manager is very easy, I've done it at least ten times

thinking about the subset of users now forever trapped in an endless webinar

Just got an idea for using Django as a static site generator but with flat files and NO BRAIN NO I HAVE A MEETING IN 30 SECONDS PLEASE STOP ok fine maybe later

arguments to use against ecofascists.

fuck "humans are the virus". fuck "overpopulation".

My ten year old kid wants to make a website. Of course I can force him to make it from scratch in html, but that's for another time. Now I like to offer him just a way to edit and add webpages. Not a blog, but just static webpages with text and images. Not a weblog.

Now I hear you say 'Static site generators!'. Well yes and no. The problem with (most of?) these are that you can't use edit/add pages directly from a webbrowser, like you can with CMS's. But these CMS's are much to advanced.

So does anyone know something? Open-source, self-hosted and for Linux of course.

quitting programming because fuck the state

I guess I'm just spoiled on Linux. If anything breaks I can pretty quickly identify it, fix it in software, or get the specific component I need to replace in the hardware on ebay and swap it out. It's like I have sturdy boots and a little DIY cobbler kit and it works great for me, but I'm trying to support cheap mass produced sneakers are built to be unrepairable by cobbler tools

Wenn wir uns auf den Staat verlassen, sind wir verloren.

Anyone has experience of using a citizen participation platform in their municipality / organization? (e.g. Decidim, Consul, Your Priorities etc)

What's the good and the bad?

Thinking of starting a "let's get drunk and install an operating system" series on youtube/twitch/whatever.

Would pair each OS with a beverage, so Debian Hamm with a 1997 Montepulciano d'Abruzzo, OpenBSD 3.6 with a Stone Arrogant Bastard, and Windows XP with a 12 pack of Natty Light.
