My good friend @JohnCusack on the PRESS Act. It's important to keep the limits on the White House's ability to spy on journalists from changing at the stroke of an Attorney General's pen.

BOOST! BOOST! BOOST!
They would boost local timelines, fediverse timelines too.
Which was something the Grinch couldn't possibly do.
And THEN they'd do something he liked least of all!
Every Toot down in Tootville, the tall and the small,
Would see the full timeline, not one paid post or ad.
They'd get more engagement, more good and less bad.
They'd reply! And they'd reply! And they'd REPLY!
REPLY! REPLY! REPLY!

@ainent Great question! Not in this upcoming release, though it may get better.

Eventually we would like to make the UI more responsive for various screen/window sizes, which should make the experience better on Linux phones

People have forgotten the entire purpose of rights: to protect the minority from the majority.

The majority never itself requires freedom of speech, press, or religion, because it is their opinion that defines the popular and acceptable. Only the *un*popular requires a defense.

Did you know that #Mastodon supports #RSS feeds?

That means you can follow your favorite people and topics right inside of Thunderbird!

→ Just add ".rss" to the URL ←

For example, our Mastodon URL "https://mastodon.online/@thunderbird"

becomes

"https://mastodon.online/@thunderbird.rss"

What about #hashtags? YEP!

Let's look at #OpenSource. From our instance, it is: "https://mastodon.online/tags/opensource"

So, we just append .rss and it works!

"https://mastodon.online/tags/opensource.rss"

REALLY useful if you don't want to miss a thing!

Hello, world! Posting this from my new account! I'm venturing into the world of running my own #Mastodon instance! I'll be sharing it with some great folks who are new to Mastodon and the #Fediverse and want to see what it's all about.

It's super cool that we can spin up our own instances like this. #Decentralization is awesome!

People of other instances, if you feel so inclined, can you boost this to help my new server federate? Y'all are the best. Thanks!

It was a decent week for #Lagrange development. I managed to fix a number of reported bugs, explore a new way to use identities, and smooth out some rough edges in the mobile port.

I’m in the process of publishing new builds for iOS and Android.

There's just been an update for my #Librem5. The new #phosh version offers an experimental plugin called phosh-ticket-box.

It allows the user to show PDFs from the lockscreen without unlocking the phone.

Show the QR for the parcel you want to send without unlocking.
Show your train ticket without unlocking
Show whatever PDF you like without unlocking.

It can be enabled in phosh-mobile-settings in the Lockscreen menu.

gsettings get sm.puri.phosh.plugins.ticket-box folder shows the path inside the home directory the plugin looks for PDFs in. The default is /home/purism/phosh-ticket-box.

Make the directory, put a PDF inside, enable the plugin and lock the phone. Enable the screen, swipe from the left border of the screen towards the right, select by swiping left and right the Tickets pane (if you have enabled more then one plugin) and click on the PDF to show.

Resizing and scrolling works with the known gestures.

Thanks @agx@librem.one !

JUST IN - Binance CEO: “Self custody is a fundamental human right.”

Decided to look at network stats again. There are 1M more people using #Mastodon today than there were on October 27.

Given how easy it is to move to a different Mastodon instance, it will be interesting to see in the coming months to see how many new folks will live in the "big cities", how many will move to small towns, and how many will start their own homesteads. #fediverse

I've never understood the political fear of Libertarians.

"Sure, they're not in power now, but someday they might take over and... uh, leave you alone, I guess, since that's kind of their whole deal."

It's like being afraid of cats.

#Illinois man pleads guilty to assaulting #Reuters journalist during U.S. Capitol riot

Last year, Jason Woods became the first defendant to be charged for assaulting a member of the news media during the riot.

A total of 11 people have been charged with assaulting journalists that day, while about 269 have been charged with assaulting, resisting or impeding police officers, according to a Justice Department tally.
