Working on a new #indiegame prototype idea... what thoughts come to your mind when you see this?

For folks that admin #GoToSocial - is there an issue with changing my hosting provider later if I use SQLite DB & copy it over to a new host, and then switch the DNS?

I know various guide don’t recommend changing the kind of fediverse server run on a domain, and instead I’d have to start on one subdomain and switch to another subdomain if I wanted to move from GTS to something else. Wasn’t sure for changing hosting behind domain.

I’m ok with stopping updates on old host for the switch over.

Very important discussion in team meeting today as whether you liked Smooth Criminal by Michael Jackson or Alien Ant Farm more.

I said neither, I’m imagining Johnny Cash doing it as a b side to his cover of Hurt.

Of course now I’m 10 minutes into slowing down the riff on my acoustic guitar and trying to sing the very fast verses very slowly, but I cannot sing like Johnny Cash at all.

Have been booking stuff, that when I leave that London, I doubt I’d travel back for. Hans Zinmer came up. Booked a while back. Can’t find in diary, am sure it’s around now. Did not notice it’s 2025 🤦‍♂️ guess I’ll be coming back for that.

I don’t have a lot to offer in this one, but I’m excited to share the list of upcoming posts that I’m working on related to #freebsd and my #homelab. https://abnml.com/blog/2024/11/20/my-journey-to-freebsd/

Dunno whether I'll be chosen but I just applied to be a talk review for PyCon US 2025! I can't make it to the conference next year but this feels like a great way to help out.

I don't know if the URL to apply is intended to be public; I received it from a mailing list I'm probably on because I was a presenter last year (pyconteam AT python DOT org). If I see the link to this info posted I'll update this post with a link too.

The links for proposing tutorials, talks, posters, and charlas are up though! https://us.pycon.org/2025/speaking/guidelines/ and PyCon US has also issued a call for propsal mentors: https://fosstodon.org/@pycon/113515861152514387

A movie idea: gone in 60 seconds, but they put together a team of #retrocomputing nerds needs to steal a list of 50 rare systems in 72 hours.

What should be on the list?

#flohmarkt 0.4.0 has been released.

it's primarily a bugfixing release and some nice visual improvements.

the most impactful thing is probably the fact that authorized_fetch now works with #mastodon

My wife and I are buying a new MBA for us to share for Christmas (as there are good deals on the M3 models). Given that our current laptops are no newer than 2013, I think we've gotten a good run out of them.

who out there in the fediverse is in brooklyn, queens, or manhattan that wants to get up to some nitescape photography tn?!

there might be a bit of light rain to create some puddles to work with for reflections and setting a saturnine or trippy scene 👀

#introduction

Hi everyone!
I'm Aline. I'm a black Brazilian woman and I'm 27yo.

I like to talk, to stay quiet, to drink, to cook and solve puzzles!

I'm here to know new people around the world and explore the Fediverse. :kirby_prideheart:

It’s Transgender Day of Remembrance. So remember:

- We have always existed.
- We don’t owe you our stories.
- The value of our lives is not determined by how well we align with “cis” norms.
- We demand bodily autonomy and the right to gender self-determination.
- We deserve equal access to healthcare.
- We are not a wedge issue.

If non-trans people remembered these things then perhaps we would have fewer trans people to remember and more to remember with.

@_elena This is great. Maybe the term we're looking for is Organic Web. Being on the "Organic Web" might make more sense to non-techies than "Fediverse" or "Open Web".

The more I learn about cryptography, the more I think Alice and Bob should probably just talk in person.

When I was a PhD student, I attended a talk by the late Robin Milner where he said two things that have stuck with me.

The first, I repeat quite often. He argued that credit for an invention did not belong to the first person to invent something but to the first person to explain it well enough that no one needed to invent it again. His first historical example was Leibniz publishing calculus and then Newton claiming he invented it first: it didn’t matter if he did or not, he failed to explain it to anyone and so the fact that Leibniz needed to independently invent it was Newton’s failure.

The second thing, which is a lot more relevant now than at the time, was that AI should stand for Augmented Intelligence not Artificial Intelligence if you want to build things that are actually useful. Striving to replace human intelligence is not a useful pursuit because there is an abundant supply of humans and you can improve the supply of intelligent humans by removing food poverty, improving access to education, and eliminating other barriers that prevent vast numbers of intelligent humans from being able to devote time to using their intelligence. The valuable tools are ones that do things humans are bad at. Pocket calculators changed the world because being able to add ten-digit numbers together orders of magnitude faster allowed humans to use their intelligence for things that were not the tedious, repetitive, tasks (and get higher accuracy for those tasks). If you want to change the world, build tools that allow humans to do more by offloading things humans are bad at and allowing them to spend more time on things humans are good at.
