@agx The initial #Cellbroadcast implementation for #ModemManager just landed. Thanks to the MM maintainers for the review and @NGIZero for supporting this project.
#phosh bits (and polishing the MM side) will follow soon.
I saw Primuz performing "Culture Clash" live in 2019, but TIL that The Aristocrats have released a whole album with them afterwards 😋 Apparently they randomly stumbled upon that performance on YouTube and decided to collaborate. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5hNdV5Q5EIQ #music #progrock #fusion
Does anyone happen to know whether the old data of #identica users that weren't migrated over when it switched from #StatusNet to #pumpio has been archived anywhere? I see a mention that there was a plan to upload it to @internetarchive, but can't find anything more than that. #fediverse #ostatus
Things don't "fall into the public domain" at the end of their copyright term, Ugh.
Once released from copyright, works Ascend into the glorious ranks of the public domain, fulfilling their rightful destiny as part of the cultural heritage of humanity!
I can somewhat excuse #itchio for not resolving #fediverse handles with #WebFinger, effectively limiting their support to (not all) #Mastodon instances even if their reason to not do so is rather silly, but this coming out of #Valve's resourceful #Steam is just ridiculous.
Chciałem wrzucić Poduszkę Zembatego (i tak was nie minie), ale zauważyłem, że muzyka tam — to Sygitowicz. Co wydaje się oczywiste, jak pomyśleć ;) No to — Sygitowicz.

#Chatty 0.8.6 is approaching 🎉 @devrtz tagged rc0 with plenty of fixes (including support for encrypted media).
See https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/Chatty/-/releases/v0.8.6_rc.0 for details.
A year ago I wrote a blog post about Why #Debian is the way it is. I had occasion to re-read it recently, and as it still seemed good to me, I'll do promote it on the fediverse.
It could be augmented by adding more topics, such as why Debian packagers often make changes to the upstream code. Maybe I'll have energy for a follow-up some day.
Let's leave the ocap stuff to the side for now, then. Let's focus on what Bluesky and the fediverse have to learn from each other.
- The fediverse should adopt content-addressed storage and decentralized identity
- Bluesky should adopt real, actual federation and decentralization
If you're on BlueSky and want to bridge to Mastodon, follow @ap.brid.gy
That's it. Nothing to install, no terms of service to sign, no complicated garbage. If you want to stop, just block @ap.brid.gy
Details here: https://fed.brid.gy/docs
If you want to bridge your account to BlueSky, simply follow this account: @bsky.brid.gy
Why am I encouraging this? Because when BlueSky inevitably goes bad, people there will have friends in the Fediverse to help them move here.
Apparently Bluesky doesn't do audio, so if you're reading there, head out to the original thread to listen to what I'm talking about: https://social.librem.one/@dos/113499687034381513
Fun fact: this whole thing inspired one of my first jam games that I made for #LudumDare in 2015. In "Radio Edit" you fight to defend your artistic integrity from evil label representatives with your facemelting guitar licks 😄 /EOT
One song got completely vetoed by the label. It was eventually released online (with some involvement of yours truly, but that's another story 😁), however, I'm afraid you'll have to understand its Polish lyrics to figure out what's the deal with this one 😉 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vfV4rTpAj3Y
"To" went through the least invasive transformation - it only got its (rather intense) bridge removed and chorus repeated. However, it lost part of its lyrics in the process - as did "Każdej nocy" along some other arrangement changes.
Who cares whether the lyrics still make sense, just ship it 😂
Apparently, the label decided that rock is dead and there's no place for guitar solos in popular music anymore 🙃 The whole bridge has been redone, with live drum stem replaced with drum machine across the whole track.
Let's move to another song: somewhat melancholic "Ty wiesz" was supposed to burst into an energetic bridge with guest solo by prolific guitarist Jacek Królik.
The edited version goes much further to fill the space with instruments. The most obvious are drums, but there's also plenty of electric guitar licks. Gone is Markowski’s vocals’ trademark liberal rhythmic expression, all syllables are put into their place and extended or shortened as appropriate.
It diverges more as the song goes on. The original arrangement relies almost exclusively on acoustic guitar and string quartet to set the mood, with a little touch of bass melody.
