@pmakholm Så kunne man selvfølgelig lukke sit netværk mere ned til kun at se opslag fra egen instans, men pt. synes jeg også det brede fødivers er rart. Det er jeg dog ikke sikker på det vil være i fremtiden i samme grad, hvis vi bliver millioner/millliarder flere.

@pmakholm Enig. Jeg vil overordnet set gerne ha' folk væk fra eks. Facebook og tror det ville være positivt i det store billede men frygter også at niveauet herinde som resultat kunne tage et drastisk ryk nedad, hvis vi ikke passer på. Og jeg tænker moderation ville er centralt i den forbindelse, for dårlig opførsel spreder sig, når det får lov at blive.

@fanden Det ligner at Friendica har noget i den stil ift. dem man allerede følger, menm jeg ved ikke om det også gælder de bredere tidslinjer, hvor der er opslag fra en hel instans eller en større del af fødiverset.

På Mastodon er det måske kun "Trending" der prioriterer opslag efter popularitet? Det er godt det ikke er mere udbredt.

@poundquerydotinfo @nixCraft If they go bust that's a good thing. Better companies will replace them. Ideally many smaller companies instead of few tech giants, and companies that are less top down owned/controlled. They're legacy in so many ways.

Eks. har jeg det ambivalent med at få politikere og medier herind, da jeg tænker de er bannerførere for den dårlige udvikling, og de tiltrækker trolde.

Omvendt ville algoritmerne her forhåbentligt ikke i samme grad fremme had (eks. at opslag med mange kommentarer/reaktioner fremhæves ukritisk), og hvis vi generelt er spredt på mange instanser, så vil hver instans få langt bedre værktøjer ift. moderation, så eks. hele instanser kan blokeres.

En stor grund til jeg gerne vil hjælpe med et ryk fra big tech-medierne, er at højreekstremt had har størstedelen af magten på dem. Det gælder eks. Facebook, hvor racismen er blevet normen hos medierne og på politikernes sider, ligesom den er blevet det i dansk politik. Det sker pga. populism, og der er en frygt for at moderere og også dårlige værktøjer dertil.

Hvis en stor procentdel rykkede ind i fødiverset, hvordan undgår vi så samme udvikling mod bunden sker herinde?

@lykkebrammer Velkommen til! Hvis du skulle søge noget mere Instagram-lignende end Mastodon, så kunne du også overveje at prøve Pixelfed. Det er en del af samme netværk som Mastodon, så man kan stadig kommunikere på tværs, men mediet er mere som Pixelfed. Der er en dansk instans på pixelfed.dk

@n0toose someone suggested Codeberg as a neovim mirror, at least. I hope it happens. They may need some help though.

"We're going to have to act, if we want to live in a different world".

That's the opening of the soundtrack to the original Command & Conquer game, and I quite like it.

Of course it's vague about what the action is and what the "different world" looks like - the game is essentially about war - but for me it could fx. mean needing to fight more back against big tech or fascism, instead of expecting that they stop themselves or that others do the fighting. And fighting can mean many things.

@bott @anport Friendica bruger BBCode som standard, men man kan aktivere understøttelse for Markdown under sine Indstillinger -> Tilføjelser. Der er dog den begrænsning, at den reelt set konverterer markdown til BBCode. Så hvis man redigerer det senere, er det BBCode.

I may generally hate AI and the many things it destroys, but admittedly it's also because it destroys the wrong things.

To say something positive about it for once, something that could certainly get me in on the hype big time, would be building a Terminator that targets (tech) billionaires. That's the good kind of AI, and with the required abilities it would also be much more accurately described as "intelligent".

@hunspirillen True, true. I try to, albeit quite indirectly, at a distance. Maybe too much distance.

@flohw @b0rk I've loved having "fish-colored-man" installed, partially because of its name, but this actually seems even better. Thanks!

@b0rk ffmpeg's seems pretty cool. It has graphs, even.

Sometimes I feel like I have a lot of love to give, but no one to give it to, and it hurts. Most of the time I've learned to successfully numb myself to the point where I don't care. That's a relief and feels freeing in the short term, but I think it has the drawback of also removing my desire and drive to do anything about it. So I actually think this coping mechanism does more harm than good, and sort of keeps me stuck in place.

I would like to change that, but it does not feel like its easy.

@svuorela It's since 2007 or so in my case. I used to be more fearful of them on Linux, but now it's rare I experience significant breakages, and most often I'm okay with the UX updates. I see the positives a more often, and I
even tend to run bleeding edge distros.

For those prioritizing stability and/or don't have technical knowledge to fix things we have I'd suggest distros with more focus on stability, though.

In Windows I "fear" updates thinking what they might break this time, or what new spyware feature has been added that I have to disable. I delay updates as much as possible.

On Linux I'm excited about updates, often updating as soon as they're available, looking forward to an improved experience, new features, security enhancements and such. (That said, sometimes they do also break some things.)

I imagine some Windows users coming to Linux bring this fear of updates with them?

I think this random YouTube comment has a salient point, in relation to shifting to open source software, decentralised social media platforms, moving more towards self hosting and ownership etc.:

"Instead of refusing to leave until there's a perfect alternative, people need to accept that convenience is not worth individual rights, security, or privacy."

@olepoulsen Så det kan man godt bare gøre? Jeg har nemlig været i tvivl.

@christofferthinggaard Jeg synes Jitsi kører fint. De mangler bedre danske oversættelser, som nogen ️ måske burde tilføje på et tidspunkt. Det bliver dog sværere af, at de har en temmelig fjollet måde at håndtere oversættelser på.
Har ikke prøvet NextCloud Talk.

Jeg har også prøvet WhereBy, som fungerede nogenlunde. Det er Europæisk, men ikke open source.
