Some folks are concerned about Mastodon or the fediverse at large being appropriated by questionable or outright bad actors, in the range of medium launching an instance, Cloudflare releasing a version that is specific to their infrastructure, to Trump rebranding it and using it as his own platform. I don't want to go into the details of each case, but overall there seems to be this idea that free software and open source are political projects. While it maybe was in some ways planned in that way, FLOSS is mostly effective as an economic project. FLOSS has "won", as in, almost all software today is free, based on free components, or is mostly free software packaged and rebranded. It would be foolishly uneconomic to not use FLOSS in any software project. 1/5

After reading Martino's piece on padology (https://march.international/constant-padology/), I finally finished the documentation for semipad (together with Martino):

Nice surprise to find 'This is Not a Love Story' by Adina Marincea, a short text about #anarchafeminism in #Romania, at the Anarchist Book Shop in Amsterdam.

Take your time!

#OtD 24 Dec 1783 simultaneous mutinies occurred on two Dutch East India Company ships. On the Java, 25 Chinese sailors rebelled after being treated cruelly by the Europeans, while 20 enslaved Javanese sailors murdered several officers on the Slot ter Hoge.

Via @networkcultures, I discover the podcast 'What's More Important than Two Women Talking About Web Development?' by Maisa Imamović and Clara Pasteau. First episode is on Memorable websites, and that’s great! https://networkcultures.org/void/2022/11/07/the-void-04-memorable-websites/

Using #vim is easy once you learn a few basic keybindings.

η and λ - move backwards and forwards through time
ξ and κ - translation through additional temporal dimension (if applicable)
ᚻ, ᛄ, ᚳ and ᛚ - moving left, down, up, and right through celestial spheres
𐤄 and 𐤋 - switch deity to pantheon member to left or right
𐤉 - supplicate to chosen deity
𐤊 - challenge chosen deity (dangerous)
:q - exit

"Digitize for a purpose" (loosely translated from Swedish)

Someone tagged this on a kindergarten over the weekend. People are fed up with digitization that doesn't have a purpose.

Kindergarten teachers and parents have to register the children via a shitty app all the time. Poor teachers have to take photos of all the activities and put on Instagram.

A few years ago I made this flow chart of which Mastodon posts end up in which timelines!

So, you can see how each instance will have a different local timeline, and even a slightly different federated timeline - and you can see why the federated timeline moves so much faster than the local one, too.

This is why it's important to boost good posts and use hashtags - the fediverse is fragmented and harder to search by nature.
