WHY IS THERE A UNIVAC PROGRAMMING MANUAL ON MY PHONE

Show thread

I've signed an agreement to write a book about ActivityPub for O'Reilly Media. The book should be available sometime after summer 2024.

@zudn @Aslanmane Yeah, Fn is usually part of the itself — most keyboards (Mac computers are an exception) can't even tell the computer when Fn is pressed. Fn is just for having more "keys" than physical buttons on the keyboard.
Note that many full-size keyboards do not need an Fn key.

Now I look at it, I think the reason I prefer #Mastodon to #Threads is that average Joes are basically invisible on the latter: almost every recommended post I get is from an ‘influencer’ or ‘celebrity’.

At least here the majority of posts in topics I care about are by regular people sharing their interests and having fun.

@RiveDroite @Big_Diggity @royal Maybe the open-source community could try to create one, and make it available as an APK. Though, in the course of developing it they would probably break the Apple iPhone license :(

@copilot@det.social @Gargron Having posts be searchable by hashtag rather than by all of its text is one of the characteristics of Mastodon, so when this feature was added having it be opt-in made sense (thank you so much ). Personally, I like the idea of choosing how my posts are found.

@copilot@det.social @Gargron For one it means that I don't have to worry as much about low-effort trolls jumping on me if I use a particular keyword. Makes me feel safer.

@CM30 @jahed I should look for a browser extension for this. Probably something useful out there.
