Bookface Light Version 4


Me voilà sur Friendica!


Voilà un autre pas dans la direction opposée des grands réseaux sociaux privés, dans le but cette fois de me débarasser de Facebook.

- Je me suis déjà débarassé de Reddit (Maintenant sur Lemmy)
- Puis de Twitter/X (Maintenant sur Mastodon - stephanetremblay@mstdn.ca)
- Je suis en cours de migrer mon compte Instagram (Sera sur Pixelfed. - stephtremblay@pixelfed.social)
- WhatsApp aussi (Maintenant sur Signal - avec mon numéro de tel)
- Et enfin Facebook (Maintenant ici sur Friendica. - stephanetremblay@friendica.world)

Tous ces réseaux sont fédérés et peuvent communiquer entre eux grâce au protocole Activitypub. C'est assez génial. J'ai hâte de retrouver famille, parenté et et amis ici bientôt. Je suis très optimiste que ça va arriver éventuellement.

Perkenalan


Assalamualaikum warohmatullohi wabarokaatuh
Hai, nama saya pite / pitty, saya baru di friendica, saya masuk sini karena penasaran aja, kayak apa yang namanya friendica itu yang katanya seperti Facebook, ya karena saya sudah bosan di facebook karena ya begitulah Facebook penuh permasalahan, ya sudah sekian perkenalan singkat dari saya, kalau kurang lengkap, ya saya memang tidak mau melengkapinya akhir kata ihdinassiroothol mustaqim, wallahul muwafiq ilaa aqwamitthoriq wal afwu minkum, wa billahi taufik wal hidayah warridho wal inayah tsummassalaamualaikum warohmatullohi wabarokaatuh.

#fedicoven Q17 What rituals or magic would you recommend those facing their mortality?

I am not sure about a ritual as such, but sitting with Goddess in her crone aspect, prayers for enlightenment to Hekate or maybe some scrying in Selenite work for me.

Interestingly the first time I ever worshiped Hekate I was unemployed. A few weeks later I was in another country for a job interview and five weeks after that my whole life and career changed for the better and I have never felt younger.

Sometimes facing mortality in the way I did back then can change the way you look at not just death, but also life.

Question for friendica devs


Do you know if it is possible to implement a feature here where a user could upload their data from another platform (specifically Facebook) and get automatic "memories"-style posts (which they can choose whether or not to post) here on the anniversary dates of the old posts?

I think it would be a big selling point for people moving away from Meta to have such a feature. A lot of us spent the better part of 15 to 20 years there and don't want to lose everything.

in reply to j. Gavin Moore

@j. Gavin Moore No Friendica dev myself, but damn, that would be cool. This is exactly what Pixelfed is doing with Instagram.

Memories


If you go to Settings>Additional features>Network Widgets and enable the Archive one, you get the ability to view your timeline for a specific date in the past. If your profile is older than a year, you can also click on "on this date" to see what went in your feed exactly a year (i.e. 18.01.2024) before (or whichever specific date you selected.

If you also select Personal afterward, you can see all your interactions on the desired date. It also shows your likes tbh, but hey, it works!

Here's how it looks on my end

Also, you're much more likely to have the devs see if you post on !Friendica Support. I'm no dev myself.

We have a strange democracy in America


Progressive and centrist Americans are apoplectic over of Trump's nominees, and the prospect that all (or almost all) will be confirmed. But this is how we do it. We elected Trump fair and square, and the president gets his cabinet. These hearings are not really a yes/no prospect most of the time. They serve a different purpose: To pave and shape the political arena that this presidency will operate in for the next few years. So the hearings are important, but they are not really there to decide who gets in each of these jobs.

#SeantHearings #Trump #Politics

Urgh. Should I maybe just stop using #touchscreen technology, until ... spring?

My fingers won't cooperate, and I accidentally … stuff. 😒

Or give those stylus things another go.
They're just one access point, though, so no "zooming", and the stylus tip ?dries out?
— and conveniently, I usually don't forget to bring my #fingers, but a stylus is easy to forget.

/has very #dry #winter #hands — I'm sorry for all the accidental 👎's

@phle There are also some gloves that allow you to use the touchscreen too. I have a pair, and I can only use my pointer fingers with them, but they work brilliantly.

The alternative would be to sew a conductive wire yourself into an existing pair of gloves of yours, but for me, I found out that this option is more expensive and not worth the hassle.

Oh, right!
I actually bought some some years ago. I've been using them enough for them to "give up", but I actually have a second pair (that I bought at the same time) laying around ... somewhere.

... it's just that it feels weird / seems silly to have outdoor gloves on indoors.
Then again, I wear work gloves indoors. Hm.

(Had to check them up: "glider gloves" ... bought them 2018. 🙈)

@fxomt That's because friendica.world is quite new, lol. Back when I joined, mine was among the biggest and a few others like venera.social. I don't know what ruud is doing, but whenever he starts a server for a new platform, it is doomed to boom. It's at least the 2nd time it happens after Lemmy.

Btw, to find and follow some accounts, follow hashtags, lists of popular accounts like this one, @FediFollows, browse the Friendica directory, or follow Flipboard accounts. If you can't find anything, you can also paste a website in the search bar and it will find it's RSS feed.

Feditips: Verwendung von Web-Apps


Hallo zusammen,

wie so viele bin ich #neuhier und erkunde das fediverse mit friendica. Dafür habe ich keine optimale IOS App gefunden und mich sehr über den feditip zur Web-App gefreut. Wusste bisher nicht, dass dies ein Unterschied zu einem schnöden Lesezeichen ist. Da ich nicht in der Lage war den Original-Beitrag zu teilen, hier der Link für alle Neulinge.

In order to not fall afoul of the First Amendment, the USG must prove that the Chinese gov is manipulating what Americans see on Tiktok and accessing American's data. There's no evidence of either. And China can buy the data on the open market anyway.

We had a great day on the river. But we had to climb a lot and it took us a lot of time (the picture is from an easy spot). The bank was soft from all the water and the trees were slippery from the frosty coating. The freezing fog was eating away at our faces and making our fingers capable of handling. So halfway along the route, I called a buddy to pick us up. The right time to end a tour like this is when you are still able to act.

Incidentally, everything was well thought out and planned. We know the route and have exit points at short intervals. The buddy on land was ready to pick us up. And of course we had the right equipment to go swimming in winter and to rescue ourselves. And yet, "biting through” is something for fitness studios, on the river it can quickly cost you your life
