finally evaluating @kde Plasma desktop for MNT Pocket Reform (with external secondary dell 1440p monitor + mouse + keyboard) and taking notes. it'll need some little tweaks before we can ship it as a default, but so far it feels pretty fantastic. love the configurability and the attention to detail everywhere

I couldn't figure out who designed the iiif logo but its sorta wild. how did this become the logo of such an important piece of infrastructure? its sort of unhinged...

tool overuse

Finally iOS 14 running on #postmarketOS Linux phone, emulated with QEMU

seems you have to install a terminal emulator like 'kitty' to get a terminal to display graphics, why wouldn't most terminal emulators implement this? is it purely an ideological thing?

What if posts made on fedi platforms like pixelfed and vernissage that place text below the image added a property to their #activitypub representation so other platforms injesting those posts knew to render them how they were intended?

All the cool kids are going floppy

Recently there has been a lot of discourse about ActivityPub and AT Protocol which has been quite dividing and heated.

Yesterday at the Social Web CG meeting (the group that maintains the ActivityPub and related specifications), I proposed releasing a statement that counters the narrative that one of these protocols must win, when both protocols can co-exist and have a lot to learn from each other.

The statement has been co-signed by various members of both Social Web CG, SocialCG, and the AT Protocol community.

“We do not win by tearing each other down, which only emboldens and empowers those who do not want either protocol to succeed.”

“Arguing between us only emboldens those that seek to derail and destroy efforts to build an open social web.”

You can read the full statement here:

Announcing Gaza Verified

https://gaza-verified.org

I’ve been having video conversations over Signal with people from Gaza who have Mastodon accounts on the fediverse in an effort to vouch for their authenticity.

This week, I whipped up a site to formalise this and to enable them to add a verified link to their Mastodon bios. Hopefully this will cut down on the amount of time they need to spend proving that their accounts genuinely belong to a person suffering through genocide and famine in Gaza and help them with their fundraisers.

The first four accounts belong to:

• @Aseelsehwel
• @NouranKhaledGh
• @joynewacc
• @mohshbair

If you want to get on the site, please contact me. See the guide for more information: https://gaza-verified.org/guide

Please share and donate to their fundraisers if you can.

Thank you!
