Can't spell "fediverse" without "diverse", is all I'm saying.

#KeepFediWeird

Edit:

I posted this and the parent toot at the start of Nov'22 wave of new people and communities joining fedi, bringing their specific needs and expectations.

Fedi learned a lot about itself since then, including that it needs to *dramatically* improve on the #antiracism front.

We need to recognize that fedi *failed* #Black / #BIPOC folks, and do better.

Stephen Colbert to Produce ‘Chronicles of Amber’ TV Series Adaptation

[I've always said that Nine Princes in Amber by Zelazny, et al, should be adapted. And I see now it's been set up as of January. I missed the announcement. But that's great. Colbert will see it's reasonably faithful and high quality.]

Roger Zelazny and I were friendly and I am his fan.

The 'Brain Fog' of Long COVID Is a Serious Medical Issue That Needs More Attention

The other day I installed OpenSuse Leap and not Opensuse Tumbleweed on my PC and I really like it.

Is this what being old and conservative feels like? 🤔

Was just at a self-checkout and the machine prompted me for a tip.

Nope, I’m not tipping. I did all the work here.

And you, the drug store, laid off all the staff for whom the tip would benefit.

Like my little buddy I’m gonna get some sleep

Goood night my dear friends! ❤️

Hell yeah! I was wondering when #Automattic would finally take on #Substack! WordPress.com now allows email newsletters and paid subscriptions!

It just seemed like the right direction to go on – especially given Substack’s questionable leadership team.

What might this mean for the #Fediverse?

It’s no secret that there’s lots of work going into the #ActivityPub plugin for WordPress, which currently requires installation on self-hosted blogs.

But at some point, I imagine that this may find its way to WordPress.com.

Now I’ve said previously that email will be core to future Fediverse adoption. Email is what drives adoption even to this day. Hell, it’s what grew Substack itself.

Once the stars align for ActivityPub integration and email subscriptions, I believe this is where a federated WordPress can really shine.

@fediversenews

Are people still shocked that Twitter is terrible?

@dschier @herrorange you can also build and lifecycle manage a CentOS Stream rpm-ostree based system with osbuild.

We even automated it!

https://github.com/redhat-cop/infra.osbuild

@dschier @maxamillion @herrorange CentOS Stream has an immutable variant maintained by the OKD project called SCOS (Stream CoreOS).

@maxamillion @herrorange honestly, I am using it. But what every RHEL Derivate (upstream and downstream) is missing, is a RHCOS/RHEdge option/immutable option.

I get the feeling too many people are sleeping on CentOS Stream because of how the CentOS #Linux EOL thing went down.

I mean sure, the messaging wasn't great but it happened and it is what it is. Don't let that detract from the greatness of the #CentOS Stream project in its own right and as a collaboration point for all the #RHEL based distros.

The gravity seems lost on most that for the first time ever the RHEL development process happens in the open. That's amazing. I love it. #community

Farewell #Debian 🥲

A full weekend with #systemshit has been too much... 😫

Coming back to #Devuan 😊

@passthejoe @gnuplusmatt @ikkeT Yeah, I was a bit disappointed that got abruptly dropped from toolbox. Looks like the community did significant work on a proposal and prototype for it to be arbitrarily shut down by one of the RH devs, unfortunately. One of the areas Distrobox clearly pulled ahead in terms of being more practical.

I’m going to continue with another thread tomorrow, specifically talking about #email. Because to really understand the #Fediverse, email is essential to understand.
