Goodreads Alternative


Those looking for a Goodreads alternative, check out #BookWrym, it's a federated book tracking site.

If amounts of federated contacts take a week to arrive, it's a bit like reading the news from the archive CD.

Hope that after today this issue is gone..

@Ruud The problem that the Fediverse has to deal with is sometimes more, sometimes less pronounced. I don't think it's a bad thing, but it does sometimes have an effect on the mood. :|
Thanks for your commitment to this great project. ❤

The EU Revolutionizes Access to Health Data: A Giant Leap Towards a Borderless Medical Europe





Jobs almost caught up on friendica.world


The jobs are being processed faster, now doing 120k jobs per day. There are 78k jobs remaining.

There were around 150k jobs for Jan 11th, it's almost through those. After that, there are only 4k jobs per day on average, meaning it will start processing a day every hour. I estimate it will start doing that around 1 or 2 pm CET today, so expect a lot of notifications start coming in after that. It should be all up-to-date around midnight (CET).

Good good!

My plan is to do "clean-up, for moving" from 1 february, and then "close-up" on 1 mars, over on Facebook,
with the clean-up part including introducing those who are willing to the federated part of online social interactions
(and yes, I had notifications from a week back waiting for me here 😅).



re Pronouns


Never before in history
has anyone been able to be
a she if he was born a he
or the other way around
we find ourselves, linguistically
upon uncharted ground
As to pronouns, you can choose
whichever one you want to use
but make up new ones, I'll refuse
because they aren't there
(if you want to use them among yourselves
then I don't really care)

don't like this

Try to use empathy in your next poem. You might find your world opening up to kindness, it will expand and will become richer.

I write on many different topics. If you hate me for the one above, I am sure you'll find some at this site you will like.

Get hungry in the night, did you Mindy?


Gore
26/11/16 - Our cat, Mindy, was a stone-cold killer. We would regularly get up to find parts of rodents or skinks in the bathroom. Just like in this picture. Mindy's old now, and stays out of the way in the shed, away from the dogs, who get on her tits.


- off to schoolies.


25/11/16 - A picture of Lily, pillow in hand, leaving for Schoolies. For those not familiar with this Australian cultural milestone, Schoolies is when the 18 year olds who are about to leave school, go to a (usually) seaside town and wreak havoc, get pregnant, take drugs, drink until they are sick etc.


As someone who is totally blind, the Fediverse is the only place where I have ever been able to follow people such as photographers, artists, or even those who post pictures of their cats or the food they ate. The reason is that most of them use alt text. They take the time to describe the images that my screen reader can't recognise. Some write the descriptions themselves, and others use tools such as altbot. Some worry that their descriptions aren't good enough, especially when they are new at this. Let me assure you, not only are they good enough, they are extremely appreciated! If the rest of the world thought as you did, it would be a much better place. Don't hesitate to ask if you're unsure of something, but never think that we don't notice your effort.

After several hours, I have managed to go through every contact's profile, unfollow all of the political ones and ones that didn't really post content that interested me, , and ensure that the ones I really like are set to show all posts. Now, my feeds look wonderful and are much quieter!

ftlog.

stop giving democrats your time, energy, or hope.

anticapitalism is the only way we can survive. the only remaining question is how.

But first, we need millions more people to abandon their support for democrats and all their crimes, genocide chief among them.

Well, this is a thing


Is it a useful thing?

I don’t know. Nor do I remember anything I may have known about the underlying tech… but it’s a thing, alright…



My First Post


Hi everyone, I'm Faustus (not really, but you know how it goes). I finally deactivated FB and am exploring federated alternatives.

At this point, I'm looking for cool, funny, and smart people to connect with. And while I agree that there's a lot going on to be angry about, I find constant shouting into the void to be wearisome. We can be friends if you think the world is full of nuance and disagree with someone thoughtfully.



Ingepland bericht


Testen van het plannen van een bericht. Is natuurlijk wel belangrijk om te zorgen dat je tijdsinstelling op juiste tijdzone staat. Die van mij is Europe/Amsterdam.

Dit bericht zou maandag 13 januari om 9 uur moeten verschijnen.

in reply to marguerite

Dat is helaas niet gelukt 😁 Maar vanaf morgen zou alles moeten werken zoals bedoeld





Zwaar onder de indruk van de ritmische complexiteit van dit stuk!

Tyn Wybenga componeerde deze vette mix van jazz en Dilla-ritmes door zijn orkest eerst te laten improviseren, daar samples van te maken, die zwaar te bewerken, daar een compositie van te maken, en daarna zijn orkest die samples weer na te laten spelen.

Yep, dan krijg je iets vernieuwends.

My Thoughts for Today


I am seeing so many people on here who are migrating from other social media platforms because of recent stuff and things, and I think it is so interesting (meaning cool) we are all doing it simultaneously. I love how we are learning this stuff together at the same time. If that makes any sense.

Already been slandered on here by someone who slandered me on Mastodon and I had to block
in reply to Ken

Well dang! I'm sorry to hear that. It's a good thing you blocked them.
