Bobbysocks - La det svinge!. 1985, Eurovision, nothing but good vibes. 🎶

I’m just here because I hate capitalists.

I also hate stalinists, so the joke is on me I guess.

In my city cycling is faster even if you’re not stuck in traffic because you can take one way streets and shortcuts. During rush hour it’s not even comparable.

I have a pretty comfy saddle, and if it’s too bumpy I prefer cycling standing up anyway. Don’t really get why people insist so much on sitting down all the time.

My favourite type of posts is the ones by people signed up in one instance, posting in a community hosted by another instance about how they don’t understand how they are supposed to make use of federation. And then often still not getting it when people from all over the web tell them that they already are.

It makes sense though - federation is sold as a feature for users, but when done right the users should hardly notice it at all. So of course people end up a bit confused.

Seems like a community that has it’s natural home at programming.dev.

I think everybody agrees that this shouldn’t be an issue.

The threat of war feels a little bit more real when you live just a few miles from the Ukrainian border in Poland then when you read about it in the news in a country outside of what Russia considers their sphere of interest.

Donald Tusk is not threatening with war here. He’s just informing of uncomfortable political realities.

At some point recognisability is also worth something. I can immediately read this graph, I understand it, it’s good.

Occasionally it’s used in a confusing way where people assume it starts at zero despite it not being the case, and sometimes intentionally so. But that’s just the case here.

Well, it does make sense, doesn’t it?

What we’re interested in is not the number of users, but the trends: whether the number is increasing or decreasing over time. Starting the axis at 0 would not be useful in this regard, as the trend would be almost completely obscured.

You never know what kind of moronic ideas can find a political majority. Especially not when it comes to technology and surveillance.

But then the EU is also pushing towards interoperability. If Threads require ID checks and is 15+, but also federates, 13 year olds will just go elsewhere.

I guess the age limit could best be enforced by parents, who would be able to tell their kids they can’t use social media before they’re old enough. Sure there will still be kids around, but there will be fewer of them.

Fascinating how the federated Bluesky spam came from Nostr. Dorsey’s lovechild vomiting crap all over his disowned brainchild. Clearly he bet on the right horse.

I could read the full article, not sure what’s going on.

Anyway, the journalist is writing about the Verge and 404 Media, and the more general potential benefits for the industry. There’s nothing about Digiday.com following the same path.

It’s a nice write-up. The main things I learned is that the Verge is transitioning to WordPress, and 404 is using Ghost. Both hope to activate the ActivityPub capabilities of these platforms when they’re ready - the Verge when it finishes transitioning, 404 when Ghost implants AP support.

Yeah, it runs like a charm on my T14s. No that I’ve tried much else.

Totally vote for us. We’re a bunch of na… Uhm, we don’t talk about that either. But vote for us anyway.

One of the agents involved has since testified that they knew they were killing the wrong man.

Israel is withdrawing their diplomats from Norway. I guess that means random Norwegian civilians are slightly safer today than they were yesterday.

Good riddance and get fucked.

The plans originate from Italy. There’s probably more bad blood between regions in Italy than there is between any two EU member states.

A great thing about the banners is that it’s not immediately obvious to everyone that websites are trying to track their every step online. The banners are annoying, but at least it pushes the tech industry to play with open cards.

That’s amazing! Fascinating that there’s so much variation within the species yet next to none between the genders.

Thanks for the answer!
