@alyaza I helped them out with a paid subscription. Hopefully more people will.

@deadsuperhero That’s disappointing.

 

If you use Visual Studio Code check out its new DDEV extension.

 

The NLnet foundation has played a significant role in the fediverse, with their financial support for most major projects. In this piece I meet some of the people behind NLnet, and get to know the foundation.

@aeternum

@seasonone Hopefully it fails after killing of shitter first.

 

The launch of Threads, with its promise of adding ActivityPub support in the future, is hotly debated. I take a look at 3 upcoming pieces of legislation, the DMA, DSA and the Canadian Online News Act, to see how this potentially impacts Threads decision to federate in the future.

Twitter under Elon Musk’s chaotic reign has seemingly created an opportunity for an alternative microblogging service.

@giallo I like the “to quote myself from earlier‘, so I will as well.

I want to address the uproar in the Fediverse about preemptively blocking the Meta ActivityPub product. And whether it should be at the instance or individual user level. A variety of reasons for and against this have been given.

At the moment, I would go with the latter. But no matter the arguments, the reason every single Fediverse user should block it is that Meta is a box of c*nts.

They have always been a box of c*nts. And they will always be a box of c^nts. Meta should be trusted as far as I can kick Zuck. About six feet. They will immediately or eventually try to enshitify whatever product they launch. At that point, administrators should block them at the instance level.

Maybe I am wrong, but maybe the Easter Bunny is real.

Do I need to remind anyone these are the mofos greenlighting the spread of misinformation of all types, science denial, propaganda from the enemies of democracy, conspiracy theories from every lunatic on earth, election stealing, suicide instigation for teenagers, and the mass genocide of Muslims in Myanmar?

@brunofin If it will only work with Lemmy, you could honor the original by naming it Lemfinity. If it will also work for kbin, maybe Threadfinity. Good luck.
