  • Piefed.au

    Jump

  • Thanks for that. Was that posted to a newsletter? I'm surprised I missed it if it was posted on piefed.au. IIRC, I joined there around September.

  • The weekend that piefed.social had its... issues (the first time), I checked piefed.au on the Friday to see if the problem was summit. It worked fine. When I returned on the Sunday, it was gone.

  • UK Labour to Let Authorities Take Jewelry From Asylum-Seekers as Part of Sweeping New Immigration Crackdown

    Jump

  • They probably saw how well going hard against asylum seekers worked for the Australian Labor Party. Without that as a platform, the conservative parties basically had little to offer voters, and subsequently imploded.

  • The rebellion will be federated – 2025 edition - Elena Rossini

    Jump

  • The activitypub plugin for WordPress is great. I've used it on my blog for more than a year. All my reactions and comments come from the Fediverse now.

  • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 is about to change massively, gets enormous backlash - Neowin

    Jump

  • Except all those times where you learnt how to do something when you set it up years ago, and haven't touched it since because it just bloody works. Then when you need to upgrade to a new machine you have to learn it all again.

    Been using Linux for thirty years and it still happens.

  • Feeling stupid sometimes

    Jump

  • Wait around for two hours in case it comes back.

  • You have to know their body language

    Jump

  • Guns don't kill people. Cats do.

  • Fediverse alternative to Facebook is what's really missing

    Jump

  • It has all of them, but it's bare bones and doesn't scale well. The instance where I have an account regularly falls over - sometimes for months at a time. Most of my friends there haven't returned.

    I don't feel it's currently a viable Facebook alternative, and it would need monumental amounts of work for it to become one.

  • Security without sovereignty: Australia’s quiet slide into digital dependency

    Jump

  • No, we had the Poms until WW2, now we have the yanks. Anyone that believes we've ever truly 'stood alone' is clearly deluded. Perhaps we might one day, but that would take a different sort of leadership. Likely the sort that most of us would consider objectionable.

  • Wafrn is for People Who Miss Tumblr’s Chaotic Energy

    Jump

  • It's activitypub, but can be configured to also use AT as well.

  • ‘Australia is not the USA’: Labor accuses Coalition of importing Trump-style culture war on immigration

    Jump

  • Most illegal immigrants are poms that have overstayed their working-holiday visa.

  • What completed, not cancelled, TV series or limited series do you think there could or should have been more seasons of?

    Jump

  • Although I feel season 5 (the last season) of Babylon 5 was a trainwreck, I would have liked to have seen something that was fully funded and supported by the network. Instead we got Crusade and The Legend of the Rangers, and then the TV movies.

    Weep for Warners, Na'toth. Weep for us all.

  • Which is it

    Jump

  • I do indeed have the mind of an artist. I keep it in a small jar under my bed.

  • yt: Which method is best for privacy?

    Jump

  • Unfortunately, mostly broken at the moment. Normally it's great, though.

  • We need a Linkedin replacement

    Jump

  • I have used Friendica. It might appear useful as a base for a fedi-linkedIn, but not in its current state. It does the basics, but only barely, and it's not particularly stable. The instance I'm on falls over regularly (for days or weeks), despite the admin's best efforts. It feels like a new project, instead of something that has been under development since 2010.

  • Self-hosted bloggers : welcome Fediverse comments directly below your posts

    Jump

  • If you're using WordPress, the activitypub plugin does this also. It's good to have choices.

  • Roblox, Discord sued after 15-year-old boy was allegedly groomed online before he died by suicide

    Jump

  • Sadly, the first thing the defending lawyers will point out is where were the parents in all this? Why was he able to turn off the parental controls, and why didn't the parents notice?

  • Farewell to the fediverse

    Jump

  • If I removed ActivityPub from my blog, I'd get no readership whatsoever. It's not like search works anymore.

  • Mastodon is bringing quote posts to the fediverse

    Jump

  • Filters already mute keywords and can be set for specific periods of time. AFAIK*, subscribed blocklists were rejected because they could be used to target minority members by bad actors. How are custom feeds different from lists?

    • From threads on the subject months ago, so that might have changed.
