Natürlich kannte ich den Dünnschnabel-Brachvogel nicht, aber es macht mich traurig zuzuschauen wie sich unsere Welt verändert. Leider nicht zum positiven.

Artensterben: Erstmals in der Neuzeit europäische Vogelart für ausgestorben erklärt
Der Dünnschnabel-Brachvogel ist ausgestorben. Zuletzt wurde er in den 1990er-Jahren gesichtet. Er ist damit die erste europäische Vogelart, die in der Neuzeit ausstirbt.Lissy Kleer (ZEIT ONLINE)

02/10/16 - Op shop dig from yesterday. Interesting version of In The Year 2525. #cratedigging👌👌
I used to take chances on op-shop records like this, until experience taught me that it's rarely worth it and I might as well save my money. I rarely even look at op shop records any more.
Nothing much funky at all about this LP and I reckon I'm having to dig deep (no pun intended) to say something positive about it at the time. Suffice to say, it's not been out of its sleeve since this picture was taken.

Friendica's quite a comfortable platform. I get the feeling I could get used to this pretty quickly - and it's compatible with a lot of existing apps for Mastodon and others.
I'm coming from the whole micro-blogging experience, and over the years I've fallen into this habit of using hashtags and numbered posts to chain long threads together to track certain topics. I felt Mastodon and others did this incredibly well compared to even Twitter so I fit right in.
How would I keep posts together along certain issues or topics here?
I'll point out that I see people chaining their posts together on Mastodon from my Friendica account. But those chained posts are indented further and further, much like an email. I suspect if I did the same with long standing chains of posts, the indents would eventually lose meaning.

@Max Riethmuller I can't follow bridgy either with my page. But if they have an account on Bluesky already, they can add their credentials in the settings and sync their follows and their feed to the Friendica one (essentially seeing it as another federated platform). The only requirement is for the server to have the bluesky addon installed (yours has, as I saw).
different friendica instances
Hmm, I don't really know much about their moderation or stuff. I remember that there was a more free speech one called meld.de (my server has it blocked). But that seems to be gone now.
Generally people are chill and there's not been that much activity until now.
From a technical standpoint, if you go to instance.address/friendica you can see its version and the addons it has installed, as well as an about section and all the blocked servers (and the reason).
Back when I chose mine, it was one of the first 5 instances. Some also offer an XMPP service with the same address as Friendica, like mine.

Thanks for that, appreciate it. At the moment it's not just bridgy (I see my bluesky posts turn up here), it's federating out to any other instances (mastodon instance even). For example If I post on mastodon or bluesky, it turns up here (friendica.world) fine. ut my posts here don't turn up on mastodon. My mastodon user is following my friendica user, and vice versa. But just nothing turns up on mastodon. Apparently there is an issue they are working on atm. But I'm keen to see if there are any other friendica instances that are reliable.
The other thing that occurred to me is maybe there's a lot of new users fronting up on friendica.world, refugees from facebook or x, and they will eventually ramp up the resources and sort the problem. So it's probably just temporary. Just unfortunate timing for me. And if I'm going to try and onboard my friends to friendica, I'd be wanting to do it on an instance on which federation is working properly.

The irony of banning China for using it's carmakers to spy on drivers, when US carmakers spy on drivers.
Tesla workers shared sensitive images recorded by customer's cars. GM sharing driver behaviour without explicit consent with insurers resulting in hikes in insurance premiums for some drivers. Etc etc.

'The birds are back.' Resilience in the ruins of the Palisades fire
Will Rogers State Historic Park is a vast stretch of natural space in the Santa Monica Mountains. It's a treasure to Angelenos. People get married there, picnic there, and have kids' birthday parties on the great lawn.The park's namesake, Will Rogers, was a vaudeville performer, radio and movie star, and was known as America's "cowboy philosopher."
His nearly century-old ranch house is the park's centerpiece. It's survived a near miss with wildfire before. Last week, as firestorm engulfed large parts of Los Angeles, this piece of American history was reduced to rubble.

@Sunshine add Hubzilla and Streams to the mix for more bruises and blood.
Edit: my God, I just remembered! my comment contains the word "blood" in it, can you imagine? 😱😱 That means I would have been banned on it by the automod on Facebook for gore and violence. All while not caring about actual violence and gore reported by the users themselves.
like this
And your comment got an "Filtered word: gore [reveal/hide]" toggle, because I added that filter myself! 😅
(I should add "violence" to it, as well.)
So ... the filter works fine for text, and I just had to click the toggle to reveal its content, but what are the chances of people sharing pictures actually tagging their posts correctly? 🤔
(It says "filtered word", but does it auto-tag pictures as well? ... aaand I don't really want to "try" that one out.)

Cumbia
02/10/16 - The first IG post I ever made was a shot of some Cumbia 7" singles. ('Fat stack of cumbia ready to be spun this afternoon #disocfuenteslabel')
I was planning to spin them at a local BYO vinyl afternoon session. I'd bought a handful of singles from someone in Venezuela (I think), and they were all fantastic.
I'd got into Cumbia in the eighties, when I'd been walking through Camden Market and heard the tune off the coffee advert (La Colegiala), and picked up a Discos Fuentes compilation tape as a result.
Years later, on the radio show, we used to play a lot of the electronic stuff, including that made by Melbourne's Cumbia Cosmonauts and we had a fantastic afternoon at one of their parties once. Never really understood why Cumbia doesn't have the reach of, say, Ska, in the anglosphere - not being sung in English, I suppose.
This is what anti-woke means. From Salon: Facebook users still cannot say "white people have mental illness," but they can say "gay people have mental illness."

Yet another noob
Hey, all. I’m a progressive, cis-het, White guy. 3rd generation colonist living in the Haldiman Tract lands along the Grand River in Ontario. I’m into dogs, canoes, motorcycles and my VW GTi. I’ve been on Mastodon since Elmo bought Twitter.
Tonight I thought I’d check out Friendica, and here I am. Looking for new friends.

@Kristi H. You're pretty much doing God's work and I'm happy that some servers are already adopting your stylesheet as an actual theme (see loma.ml right now)
Edit: btw, can I add it to my Friendica megathread and to share the news about it just about everywhere online? 😁
@Cătă Share it far and wide! I was hoping other people would adapt it for server-side use. I'm happy other people like it!
The "Frio" theme is okay, but it looks a lot like FB from around 2010. I know some people will dismiss Friendica for looking old and outdated because of that (actually I've already seen comments to that effect).
I think Friendica needs a modern makeover to entice and retain new users. There is no official app, so the responsive layout needs to look like a decent social app in mobile browsers too.
Since I came here from FB myself I thought this redesign would make me feel more at home here, and it does. I've almost forgotten other people are not seeing it the same way I do.
