@PavelASamsonov That's something I hate about Windows 11... designed by a handful of users and stakeholders who want to promote ad widgets. What do you think about allowing users more diverse options to fit their needs? https://pocketnow.com/explaining-windows-11s-bad-design/
@matschaffer @nosherwan @aral There are a lot of advantages, and the disadvantages might be mitigated with stuff like DANE soon. I wrote this a while back: https://pocketnow.com/10-ways-delta-chat-is-better-than-whatsapp-signal-and-telegram/

RT @PavelASamsonov@twitter.com
Users are not designers, and "doing what the user asks" is a bad design strategy.
However, I see stakeholders saying this to justify another, even worse design strategy: "doing what the stakeholder asks."
*Everyone's* change requests are data points, starting points.

Currently studying my Twitter archive data to figure out the requirements for importing Tweets to the fediverse. You can see my current rubberducking here: https://codeberg.org/postmodern/fediverse-importer/issues/2

@tasvo is an Antarctic paleo climatologist.
@saravicca works on the carbon cycle.
@arthurgessler studies ecosystem under global change.
@steve studies climate models, but not like you expect. 1/2
@fdroidorg
I use it to access internal network resources in the office or my home. Stuff like SSH, SMB, & RDP.

#Suggestion: Point #TwitterMigration to the Fediverse so not everyone is flocking to a Mastodon instance.
You see, the network is the #Fediverse, the underlying tech is #ActivityPub (which is a #WebStandard).
Mastodon is, but one of many flavours connected to the Fediverse network. There is no “Mastodon network” or "Pleroma network” or “MissKey network”, they are all “Fediverse network”.
Promote the Fediverse. That is what who we are.
@nosherwan @matschaffer @aral Email is open source messaging that everyone has built into every device and will probably never go away. Have you tried @delta as a client that works a lot like WhatsApp?

Cintiq Pro 27 (2022) is NICE!! https://bookofadamz.com/hands-on-with-the-2022-wacom-cintiq-pro-27/
"It belongs on the construction site, or in a police vehicle, or military helicopter, or army desert mission, or on an Antarctic research expedition... and that's pretty awesome." #Toughbook #ruggedlaptop https://pocketnow.com/panasonic-toughbook-40-review/
Gotta love those OLED screens. https://pocketnow.com/asus-vivobook-s-14x-oled-review/

@mike_hales @gert @strypey @lightweight @bhaugen @organizingInFedi @matslats https://webxdc.org by the people behind @delta is interesting, in that it is webapps that uses chat as auth. As I understand, a "server" could be a chatbot sending webxdc apps as responses and handling app responses. If Quicksy support "appears", running community-member-friendly services sounds more tractable than otherwise.

"TikTok, when opening any website in their app, injects tracking code that can monitor all keystrokes, including passwords, and all taps."
I started a new site for my writings. What do you think? https://bookofadamz.com/

Something a bit different today...
There's a really nice Fediverse admin on here called @stux who provides lots of free decentralised public services (public instances of Mastodon, PeerTube, Pixelfed, Matrix, Nitter, Invidious, Searx etc).
Stux is spending hundreds of euros a month so that these services remain free and operational.
Apparently Stux has had a tough time finding work recently, but has their own small business which provides web hosting.
If you're looking for a small indie hosting provider, this might be a really good choice as the money raised will help keep the Fedi going too:
(I'm sorry to embarass you Stux, but I think you deserve a shout-out for the good work you do!)
