all those tags, and I forgot the bare #arm and #arm64.

Read the thread - issue with Metronome builds not being armv6 compatible

#AskFediverse: @yunohost has run into an important bug for #RPi0 and #RPi1 - apparently #Metronome builds are not #armv6 compatible. Can anyone offer some help/insight?

August update of Librem 5: https://puri.sm/posts/librem-5-august-update/

@kyle When it is successfully implemented I will eat crow pie. In the mean time, I mention there are other wheels which roll, and that you use.

@kyle Can you provide a successful example of such a scheme which cannot easily be gamed by a small bot net?

@kyle In other words, allowing users to select the block lists to which they subscribe, if any? To be able to create their own? To be able to whitelist vs. blacklist?

I am not saying an app needs to always cater to the tyranny of the masses. But saying it must not be done for one class of speech but shipping a product blocking another class of speech seems … inconsistent.

Heh. Went #hashtag hopping through topics which interest me, got annoyed people were not over-wowing me with extreme accomplishments I can never hope to equal…

And realized I could instead be working on my own darned cool things. So good night, #fediverse.

I was reminded today of a post by @kyle where he said he was pessimistic about pressure from #netizens asking for some groups to be blocked from their internet experience.

And he was probably sitting at a browser using uBlock to do exactly that.

There is nothing wrong with wanting an automated method to filter portions of the internet. Could it be misused? of course. But publicly curated ad/malware/resource abuse/privacy/cookie blocking lists seem to do a reasonable job.

I am not sure which is chicken, which is egg, but the #Nextcloud / #ownCloud #Tasks app is a to-do list clone which uses #CalDav - so it can integrate into your calendars across devices. There is at least an android app: https://tasks.org/

I use it across my #linux/#macos/#android devices (I do not have an iOS or windows device, do not know if it works there.) Integrates with Apple reminder and Google Tasks.

It is not quite naggy enough for me.

It might be the case that insularity also describes the internal health or connectivity of an instance. One I ran across had an insularity of 6%; almost no one is actually talking to each other on the instance - nearly 1k authors saying many things, but shouting into the internet and not developing conversations.

At the other end of the spectrum are a few sites running intensive bot communities. Gab and allies are ~96% and newsbots.eu, bots.h.kher.nl are both 100%.

3/3

@gry

In contrast, https://www.fediverse.space/instance/mamot.fr Mamot.fr, a largish instance, has a 26% insularity ratio - #toots there are mostly mention accounts outside the instance.

That is actually lower than some of the most-active large instances. Mastodon.social, arguably the largest population of real humans, is running 33%. Fosstodon.org is 27%, Anarchism.space a frighteningly low 20%, Social.coop back at 33%.

2/3 (cuz I just thought of an interesting idea)

@gry

If you take a look at https://www.fediverse.space/ you will see a visualization of #mastodon and #pleroma instances which are public, and some analysis of the public feeds of these instances.

If you take a look at https://www.fediverse.space/instance/mastodon.uno you will see a visualization of Mastodon.uno, an instance which is reasonably large but in a language group which as yet does not have many instances - and its details tab says it is 90% insular - most tweets are within that instance.

1/2

One of the more interesting things I have been noticing lately is #insularity.

As a site grows in number of active users, they tend to interact *more* with other users who are not on the same instance. The largest instances with real people consistently drop to a bit below 30%.

My working assumption (without specific evidence) is #social people explore by conversation, exposing themselves to new ideas, people.

There are, of course, exceptions.

"What is up with this? I followed somebody but their toots are not showing up in my timeline!"

Maybe you *requested* to follow them. In the #fediverse people can choose to approve their followers, and your request might not have been approved, may even have been rejected.

It is a different world view here on #Mastodon compared with the bird site. How many followers is not a good metric here.

Ah, poor Max! still having problems installing #tor browser bundle for the #Librem5. Like everyone else on #PureOS. Maybe @torproject could help with that.

@purism

I write. I write a lot.

Blogs, papers, publications… using browsers, #Collabora, pads, #LibreOffice, #Joe, even #Geany. I dabble with code, mostly #Bash and #PHP to keep my boxen running. A lot of side communication happens: #Signal, #fediverse, #Wordpress, #IRC…

I do research, reading, data processing, and too often trying to read horrid scans of microfilm of old documents in mid-French. Doc viewer, image viewer, they comfort me.

But not as much as the keyboard on my Librem 13. ❤️
