The wealth tax typically proposed by these campaigns (like 2 or 3%) would raise money but it would not stop billionaires from getting richer. (That's why even billionaires advocate for it.)
The finish line should not be "raise money to fund public programs."
The finish line should be "billionaires don't exist."
"tax the rich" is a scam?

There literally should just be a cap. Make it something ridiculous like "billionaires are not allowed to exist, so everything you earn past $999,999,999.99 is public property" and I don't see any way how someone could disagree with this other than wanting to be a malicious parasite. That is more than enough money to buy a yacht for your yacht and is also an amount of money that cannot be legitimately obtained.
This entry was edited (2 days ago)
I've always liked the idea of the cap being an immediate loss of any legal property protection.
This would not be through any process, they simply instantly legally cease to have any property rights anytime they cannot prove their net worth is below the limit.
Any member of the public can reclaim any piexe of their ex-property, until the not-quite-billiomaire gets a court ruling confirming their not-a-billionaire status.
Then the not-yet-billionaires can figure out how to constantly stay comfortably below the limit.
Or...they can file an updated wealth disclosure every time they attempt to keep anyone from walking away with any piece of their former property.
If they want to avoid the inconvenience of their yachts, cars, pets, plants, fences, lamps, and television sets being repossessed, they can
negotiate with their employees unions for collective ownership in good faith, instead.
It'll be fun to see how many of them are too stupid to take a good deal, and lose their stupid toys.
Oh, so we put the bar at proving a negative? Easy peasy.
Just reinstate 1950s top marginal rates. Then have a drink after a job well done.
Despite the headline tax rate being over 90% in the 1950s, the federal government collects about 3 times more real revenue per person today (with a top rate of 37%) than it did then.
The only reason it was ever that high is because the tax code at that time was so full of loopholes/deductions/etc. (that are closed today) that you could have that be the rate with practically no one actually paying it.
What I'm trying to say is, don't hold your breath for that to ever return in present day.
That quote and image combo don't seem directly back up your justification.
And I'm not holding my breath. Our country is now run by those same rich people.
The finish line should not be “raise money to fund public programs.”The finish line should be “billionaires don’t exist.”
Financially speaking, helping the poor and hurting the rich are not the same thing, and it's honestly concerning when I see people prioritize the latter over the former. Eradicating poverty matters infinitely more than keeping people's net worth (which as a reminder, is just a guessed (there is no billionaire whose net worth is precisely known), hypothetical, fluctuating price tag on the stuff they own, should they decide to sell it) under some arbitrary maximum.
And that's without even mentioning how much tax revenue is wasted on things that don't actually serve the population at large. What good is an extra $X billion in tax revenue if it's all pissed away anyway? As one example, the US government spends more per capita on healthcare than any other country, and yet we're far from #1 in most healthcare categories. How does that make sense? We're already not getting what we're paying for, fixing things like that is more important than simply increasing the amount of money going down the same wasteful hole, I think.
Edit: That argument is just "trickle down economics" with extra steps.
I disagree.
Billionaires have outsize influence. They buy politicians to set public policies that affect the working class and divert billions of our dollars into their pockets.
If you put all of their money in a pit and set it on fire, it would have a greater impact than just taxing them 2% and spending all of it on public programs, because they would no longer be able to do harm on a billionaire scale.
The people could heal.
We'd still have other beasts to deal with, but the existence of billionaires is a cap on the lives of the working class.

Edit: That argument is just “trickle down economics” with extra steps.
Trickle down economics is the argument that financial benefits given to the wealthiest will naturally make their way down to the rest, so there is no need to aid the impoverished directly.
There is literally nothing in what I said that suggests that course of action, at all. My talking about how taking direct action to eradicate poverty ought to be the top priority is literally the opposite of that. You're full of it.
the existence of billionaires is a cap on the lives of the working class.
Billionaires (inflation-adjusted, of course) per capita in the US increased by about 7x compared to 100 years ago, while the percentage of the population living in poverty is 4-6x lower today than it was 100 years ago, compared to what it is today.
The correlation is in literally the opposite direction as what you claim. How do you reconcile these facts with your assertion?
This entry was edited (11 hours ago)
1.
Correlation is not causation.
2.
Even if I had asserted that billionaires cap the lives of the working class to the poverty line (which I didn't), the poverty line is an outdated, unserious measure of how Americans are doing.
::: spoiler More about the FPL
My assertion is that billionaires are a cap on the lives of the working class, not that the cap is set at the federal poverty line.
I can't see your links (imgur says their servers are overloaded), but I'll use US figures for the sake of argument.
The [federal poverty line is] derived from the official poverty thresholds, which were originally developed in the 1960s based on the cost of a minimum food diet multiplied by three — reflecting the "fact" [quotations mine] that food makes up about one-third of a typical family’s budget. (What is the federal poverty level?)
Look up "average American monthly expenses", and you'll see that food consistently accounts for less than 15%. The FPL is outdated and has been for decades.
There's controversy about the right way to measure poverty, but no one serious on either side of the argument points at "the percentage of the population living in poverty" and calls it a day.
:::
3.
The majority of Americans support progressive policies. But whether or not a policy is passed depends on whether or not it has the support of the billionaire class.
::: spoiler More on the popularity of progressive policies and the impact of wealth on policy change
Over half of Americans say they lack the cash to cover a $1,000 unexpected emergency expense. Increased earnings — not lower spending — is main driver for boosting emergency funds. The most common cause of emergency expenses in the United States is a medical emergency. Regardless of whether or not they meet a 1960's definition of poverty, Americans are not, by and large, financially well.
The majority of Americans support progressive programs that address the causes of this precarity: paid maternity leave, childcare support, boosting the minimum wage, free college, and Medicare for All.
But what we want doesn't get passed.
When the preferences of economic elites and the stands of organized interest groups are controlled for, the preferences of the average American appear to have only a minuscule, near-zero, statistically non-significant impact upon public policy.
...
When a majority of citizens disagrees with economic elites and/or with organized interests, they generally lose. Moreover, because of the strong status quo bias built into the U.S. political system, even when fairly large majorities of Americans favor policy change, they generally do not get it.
:::
Working class Americans (and not just those at or below the federal poverty line) support policy changes that would materially improve their lives. When those policies conflict with the interests of billionaires, the billionaires stop them from passing.
In other words, they put a cap on it.

- Irrelevant, as I never claimed such. I pointed out the lack of correlation between billionaires per capita increasing over time, and poverty over the same period of time. Not all correlation is causally linked, but all causally linked things are also necessarily correlated. But if two things are not correlated, then they can't be causally linked, either (at least not to a statistically-significant degree that isn't wiped out by other factors), and that's what I pointed out.
- So, by which financial measure would you say that working-class Americans in 1925 are doing better than they are in 2025, then? There must be at least one, if your assertion is correct.
- Then that should make the question above, all the easier to answer.

Are you seriously suggesting that legislation that is detrimental to billionaires never becomes law?
The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, among other things, imposed an excise tax on stock buybacks, something that will literally never impact anyone who isn't significantly wealthy, and that passed. A year before, the Corporate Transparency Act passed, and basically struck the death knell for shell company schemes, (not a whole lot of that happening among the working class, lol) by requiring "Beneficial Owners" to be reported to FinCEN, so they know who the actual human beings who own them are. Billionaires lost the ability to hide assets and real estate within anonymous LLCs.
It's ridiculous to think that billionaires are all just smiting any and all legislation that would negatively impact them at will. You are clearly deep in some echo chambers.

You mean the same Beneficial Ownership Information (BOI) that Trump and Musk killed the enforcement of after a tweet? (Both billionaires, btw.)
The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, among other things, imposed an excise tax on stock buybacks, something that will literally never impact anyone who isn't significantly wealthy, and that passed.
Are you arguing that a 1% excise tax limited to stock buybacks (even lower than the 2 and 3% I already argued won't change the status quo) in any way counters the well-documented fact that billionaires and corporations have dozens of ways to avoid paying taxes?
::: spoiler Corporations even managed to dodge the IRA's headline tax: the CAMT
(2022)
Part of the IRA was budgeted for hiring more tax auditors. Corporations underpay every chance they get and won't pay a penny more until an auditor can prove the difference.
(2023 through 2024)
The IRS repeatedly provided relief and from penalties due to underpayment.
(2025)
Under Trump (2025), the IRS has shrunk. In theory, the IRA should have led to increased taxes. In practice, corporations were able to stall until they had an administration that gutted the IRS' ability to collect.
:::
Your headline of "we passed a law that says they'll pay" doesn't match the reality of "but not this year because they say it's too complicated, we don't have enough staff to audit them, and they have more accountants than we have people who specialize in legally hiding their assets and cooking the numbers."
For every legal loophole that is closed, the ultra-wealthy find or create two more.
Meanwhile, programs designed to serve the needs of the working class are pushed back with "how are you going to pay for it?"
Answer: With the money that billionaires and corporations should be paying, but aren't.
Are you seriously suggesting that legislation that is detrimental to billionaires never becomes law?
It would be convenient for you, if I were to suggest that, or any other argument you try to put in my mouth.
Once in a blue moon, a law will get passed (as you've demonstrated), that they will then ignore, delay, defang, or lobby into irrelevance (as I've demonstrated).
What I am saying (and have been since the beginning) is that the existence of billionaires is a cap on the lives of the working class.

Its very easy to make an incorrect correlation like this when you are using faulty data like the FPL.
All it takes two seconds to find out the poverty line in the US is literally just 3 times the monthly minimum spend for food for one person. That doesnt factor in the extreme inflation on housing, medical, student debt, utilities, phone plan costs, taxes, etc. While food prices are inflated they are not nearly as inflated as the other areas critical to survival which are not calculated for the reporting of offical poverty figures. Once you actually account for all of this and look at what percentage of the population fails to meet basic needs you get to a more staggering 43% of the US living in poverty and even thats a rough estimate due to missing data points that might make it higher.

Its very easy to make an incorrect correlation
I think you don't understand what "correlation" means. The correlation is clearly and inarguably what I showed it to be: billionaires per capita went up as poverty went down. That's a plain fact.
43% of the US living in poverty
I'm not going to bother examining how legitimate this stat is, because even if I just take this at face value, what is that compared to the 40-60% I cited? It still does nothing to support the point that billionaires are 'holding the working class down' to any statistically-significant degree. If we take the bottom of the range of the estimate I got, 40%, and took your figure as-is, 43%, then a 7x increase in billionaires per capita increased poverty by 3% total over 100 years! That stat takes "nothingburger" to a whole new level.
That doesn't do much of anything to support the assertion that billionaires are 'capping the lives of the working class', when there being seven times more of them makes no statistically-significant difference in the poverty rate.
Not to mention that 1925 is in the midst of the roaring twenties, before the Great Depression, and your article was written a few years after a global pandemic that wreaked havoc on the world's economy—two facts that both skew things in favor of your claim.

Aww, they're all good though.
And the constant politics is exhausting and difficult to squelch.
That's just called living in the world
No, it's really not. It's actually inappropriate in polite society to talk about politics outside of certain contexts. Here on lemmy, folks will use every excuse to shoehorn US politics into every thread and every post. It sucks, it's like there's nowhere to go anymore online without politics folks throwing in their two cents. I spend more time doing irl activities just to get away from it which is a shame because I grew up on BBSs and the internet and I really like communicating with people this way. Just not about that.
Everything is politics. The decision to not talk about politics is also politics

Careful now, my friend. These terminally online crazies are so thoroughly in the pit that they no longer realize that there is more in the world than politics. It's like talking to crazy religious people who will argue about how God is everywhere and in everything every chance they get. There's no point bringing normal reasonable perspectives into a discussion like this. XD if you don't have the same opinion as them you are a fascist or some shit xD the diversity of thought on Lemmy is as plentiful and fertile as the surface of the moon.
You're not necessarily pro-Palestine? So you're not necessarily anti-Genocide?
These aren't the same thing...
Explain how "I'm not in favour of the people suffering genocide" is not the same as "I'm against genocide".
You can be against what Israel is doing without specifically being in support of Palestine. But it's harder to explain with a short pro/anti type label.
Palestine is a country and its possible to have a very different feeling to a government and the people.

So the ongoing genocide and the 50 year long siege that Palestinians have been subjected to has no effect on their government or their people? I'd love to see what ideals and morals you support when you spend 50 years under siege.

It's true!! It happened to me and you could be next!!
As someone that won't drive a car and will not encourage big oil or big car, I'm also delightfully surprised by the somewhat strong presence of "fuck cars" communities on the fediverse, and I can only approve.
the fediverse's stance is "fuck everything about this"
funny what happens when you have a system without profit motive so people mostly just talk to other people
It does probably help that the general spread includes people who like cars but absolutely hate modern cars and the near ubiquity of them. What I wouldn't do to fire but a single Davey Crockett payload directly at GMs HQ.

two whole bananas and a HALF?!? 🫣
I have just put down the funds for Konqzilla 
I have sent some to adopt Kinq Konq (or Konqisaurus if Konq is already taken)! .. Even though I already sent a whole bunch earlier, but damnit they're adorable, and I don't exactly think I'll regret sending more help towards the project I've used basically exclusively for the last 15 years 
I'll also log in my work laptop and send a donation match through my employer, so you're getting double for this 
It appears the website is down. Hope everything is alright
I think the fediverse discovered it
When is my Swastika emoji coming?
these are so Qt!
Maybe you should focus on your users' needs and voices than going on "my software, my rules"
All dragons and kaijus have now been adopted!

Qkall's favorite songs of 2025
I realize I just posted this on another instance... but that one is going away soon... so for posterity.
Some people are interested in this... and, genuinely, thank you for asking. I try to post my (very few niche ass and no one cares) videos with artists I wish more folks paid attention to and it seems that's a good thing and I get into a lot of conversations about it. But, anyway, here's this years list. I tried adding two songs per month as a 'this is me now' this month type of thing. I did try to keep 'early album and late album' songs in their place... but, whatever. Enjoy? What did you like or hate the most?
I did leave the more 'epic' songs towards the end... mostly because they're long and I do not expect humans to listen to it all. So, if you made it that far... I got that dank for you.

Wow! This is a great example of the power of virtual platforms, #emulators, and also disciplined state control in a programming language. The fact that you can run this inside a #pdf is also instructive — yet another attack vector.
Also, I’ll bet there are many packages out there to do cross-compilation from #RISC-V to other machines. Remind me never to use Adobe Acrobat.

Crazy impressive and absolutely mind boggling though. 😅
When I last worked with laser printers, there was a PostScript program that would run Doom - about 15 yrs ago. We never had the time to actually test it, but had to do some extra work to disable the ability to do arbitrary IO.
That said, amazing job and I'm wondering if I should replace my PC with a good printer!
This reminds me of the guy who stuck an LLM inside a font. Actually, there is more than one guy who has done this.
youtube.com/watch?v=Y65FRxE7uM…
(this explains how he uses the LLM to rewrite your text using synonyms so as to achieve pleasing justified text without use of hyphenation).
fuglede.github.io/llama.ttf/
(this does more conventional predictive text stuff as you type.
I'm not sure what happens when you typeset your PDF-containing-Linux in a typeface-containing-an-LLM, but I'm pretty sure I don't want to be there when it happens.

llama.ttf is a font file which is also a large language model and an inference engine for that model.fuglede.github.io

@bsdphk Computers were a mistake. That ANYONE thought, intentionally or accidentally, that the ability to run this much code inside of a document deserves to be shunned back to the Stone Ages. This is why infosec is an impossible game to win.

@jgeorge @bsdphk Blame Adobe for adding JavaScript to PDF, back in the days when everyone wanted to slather world wide web special sauce on their products—like LLMs and "artificial intelligence" today or "crypto/blockchain" a decade ago.
It's a repeating dark pattern, dictated mostly by managers desperate to make Line Go Up by being latest-buzzword-compatible.

Even BEFORE this kind of capability came to light, I remember someone commenting, "Adobe has this hugely profitable business group dedicated to making computers emulate all of the worst usability traits of paper."
@jgeorge
One of the events in computing that I have yet to see credibly researched and documented is what I call "The deluge":
How much did "The IT industry" grow during the 1990'ies in terms of persons, and what skills did they come in with ?
My guess is a factor of more than 1000, (ie: 100000+%) and that none of those people (-epsilon) had any professional IT experience, and knew nothing about the skill&craft of IT.
(Add the "Make Money Fast" incentive and...)
@bsdphk @jgeorge You can almost certainly chart it by graphing cumulative sales of personal computers, minus machines retired as broken/obsolete, which lags by a time period … and it was undergoing exponential growth throughout this period, so the retired cohort lagged new installs by a huge distance.
Computer use in business implies support personnel numbers (IIRC in the 90s it was 1 PC tech support per 40 installed base).
Since 2007 include smartphones/tablets as well. Different ratio, OFC.
That's pretty much how I arrived at "a factor 1000".
But having somebody who know what they're doing, do the math with actual data would be better 😀
now, can you run doom on that Linux system?
Is this good?
Or very bad??🤔

@arrrg Because they already ran DOOM on it. First one runs DOOM, then runs a tiny Linux or NetBSD distribution. Then after that, a cleverly recursive thing, in this case a fully featured PDF rendering engine, so that one can render a Xzibit meme in the nested engine. "Yo dawg, I heard you like PDFs..."
Next, a #kubernetes cluster in a PDF file...
truly this is the year of linux on the desktop 🤣
@Sweetshark @jgeorge @bsdphk And Turing-completeness is an astonishingly low bar. At least, it's astonishing to folks who haven't studied CS. (sendmail.cf? Turing-complete. Magic The Gathering? Turing-complete. And so on.)

Bookshop.org launches Kindle alternative, sends e-book sales to local bookstores
Bookshop.org launched a new platform that allows independent bookstores to sell e-books to readers. Here's a look inside., USA TODAY (USA TODAY)
I have mix feelings about this, as while there are some DRM-free books, most are locked to the application.
Meaning: you can't give your book to someone after you're done and if the app stops working in the future, your book won't be available.
I'll rather have them call it renting than buying.

Basically anything that sells ePub, so Kobo.com, ebooks.com (this one has a drm free category), etc. DRM is decided by the publisher not the store so not everything will be available without protection.
If the book you want has DRM there's a Calibre plugin that is usually able to remove it.
It's only an alternative if you can read said e-book on an actual e-reader with e-ink. A smartphone is not an e-reader.

I am currently awaiting the arrival of my BOOX Note, which is a kind of Kindle alternative.
Damn is that expensive though. But I think Amazon sells at a discount to make money on the bookstore.
Kobo is also a kindle alternative, and syncs books from your local library!

Reddit CEO Says Paywalls Are Coming Soon
Reddit, a platform founded in part on the premise of openly and widely sharing information, is ready to put up some paywalls. In a video Ask Me Anything (AMA) session hosted by CEO Steve Huffman following the company’s quarterly earnings report (which went poorly), the founder and exec said Reddit is actively testing ways to make some content require payment to access and plans to roll out a “paid subreddit” feature later this year.

Reddit might have some room to eat into Patreon’s model, allowing creators to put certain content behind paywalls. Lots of creators have their own subreddits already meant to facilitate community conversation in a way that comments on Patreon posts don’t totally allow for. So perhaps there’s some room for Reddit to sneak into that space.
That might actually work.

My first thought is their MO that they own whatever's uploaded.
No, they just want to control the distribution. If they do, they can insert their ads and monetize directly.
And it's not just Patreon, it's onlyfans too. We all know reddit has plenty of porn, and by that I mean onlyfans spammers. So, since reddit already has the content creators and the content consumer userbase, why not cut out the middleman and monetize it themselves?
like this
fistac0rpse likes this.
I believe they've already updated their TOS that they own whatever's uploaded. They want to train AI and own search results and all that. That will conflict with being like onlyfans where people want legal control of their content.
I recall their TOS having a clause like that years and years ago. And usually it's not a problem for the users or the creators, since everyone gets a cut.
I don't think the creators mind too much. Even if reddit takes a cut, the net profit is still much greater due to the size of the audience.
Seriously? It's a problem if you want LEGAL ownership over your content.
Most creators are willing to let that go to get access to the audience. It's not an exclusive license.
Have you ever met creators? No most aren't so happy to give up their LEGAL ownership. Plus, that's why I said if you want. This is especially true for certain sexual content. And, exclusive or not is an entirely different concept than ownership. You just want to be a stick in the mud, I'm out of this conversation.

I am a content creator, so yes I'm familiar with how these things work.
But why would they do this through Reddit and not Patreon?
You can already make private subreddits.
Probably because Reddit is massive.
That’s why porn (which Reddit calls „NSFW content” not to scare advertisers) is not accessible over API at all. We should refer to Reddit as „that porn website” now because that’s what they’re going to make money on.
I knew it was time to jump ship and go somewhere else. This is a much better place.
Welcome aboard! If you still have a reddit account, I'd encourage you to spread the love to other frustrated redditors - best way to do that that I'm aware of it to edit as much of your comment history as possibly to replace it with a how-to on getting started with the fediverse. Idk if it's smoother now, but it was kinda overwhelming when I bounced over here a couple years ago.

Isn't it great? I would suggest switching to all with hot, top 6 hours and scaled to get the best experience here. Active is the default, and it seems the least active ironically. I have it set as hot in my settings. When you get to know more communities (subreddits), your subscribed will be nice too.
It is indeed, a refreshing change of scenery.
Please just do it already.
I bet they figure paywalled areas will produce more consistent, high quality comments for selling to LLMs too.
It’s probally partly a data farming move.
It's probably the other way around. I can see him saying that paywalled subreddits won't have their data mined for LLMs so if you want to keep your content out of that mill, you better pay up.
This entry was edited (9 months ago)
Farm data, or sell the solution to a problem they participate in creating.
I’d have to be delusional to believe that they won’t sell that data to LLMs despite what they may claim.
They'll probably paywall NSFW subreddit because they can't monetize those with ad revenue, and I doubt they're selling that content for LLMs anyway.
Oh shit, my porn!
I, in other news, am not!
Fuck /u/spez
If I know nothing else in this world I know this: Reddit will never get a penny from me.
New argument is coming soon:
"Lemmy - FREE alternative to Reddit"
surely the people posting in the paid communities will get some kind of remuneration for their posts, right? they wouldn’t just try to sell other people’s stuff without giving them anything in return? surely they don’t think that little of their userbase.
God I fucking hope this will be their digg moment.... however I know this is strictly geared towards OF creators

It always amazes me how well Cage's classics age, particularly his album 'Hell's Winter'... while this isn't from that album, this was a bit before. But Cage brought those emo hip hop vibes well before it was a common place. I wish bro got more love... and shout out to the homie that chose the visuals perfectly for this song...

@George Takei :verified: 🏳️🌈🖖🏽 But SOME will get through, and thats why he's trying everything
They never expected anything else from the lower courts. The whole goal is to get these things in front of what they perceive is a receptive SCOTUS.
They'll walk a knife edge line of noncompliance until they get there, in order to keep the real threat of not complying with SCOTUS as a possibility because that will likely influence how hard that court pushes back. SCOTUS will try to find a way to rule how it wants but in a way that doesn't invite such a confrontation.
I'm fine with them appealing, at least they're taking to the courts to settle these things and not just ignoring judicial orders.
It's not staying this way for long. Either the courts will fold, or they'll start disregarding the courts.
And no, I don't know what to do about it either.

#Bookface, a custom #Friendica UI, just got a big update!
This vastly improves the experience on #Friendica and is a big time improvement for web mobile users.
If you’re running a Friendica server, or are thinking of running one, I highly recommend using Bookface as the default UI. A look at this screenshot will show you exactly why.
Further release notes can be found here:
friendica.world/display/84b6ef…
BOOKFACE BIG UPDATE!
First of all thank you for all the interest in this “Frio” theme scheme. I was concerned that people might have so much animosity toward Meta that a scheme to make Friendica look more like Facebook would be ill received. I originally made “Bookface” as a user content script just so I would feel more “at home” on Friendica. And I’m still using it that way myself because the instance I’m on does not offer this scheme as an option yet.
Version 1.3 represents a massive rewrite with the introduction of new features, like support for Profile Cover Photos and an “Auto” version that can detect if your operating system is set to Light Mode or Dark Mode and automatically apply the correct mode to Friendica, plus a completely New Mobile View for phones and tablets that aims to make it look and function a lot more like an mobile app. The user content stylesheets for client-side use have also been updated with the same changes, if that’s how you use Bookface. I have incorporated a ton of your feedback into this update, which I thank you for! There are also over 30 tweaks and fixes in this update.
While this is still a work-in-progress (but what on the web isn’t?) Bookface is already being used in production on some Friendica instances so I’d say it’s generally probably safe to use, but there could be issues I haven't anticipated, particularly with whatever add-ons are enabled on any given server.
Keep in mind “Bookface” is intended for recent browsers. By which I mean those that were released in the last year or two. Because I want to leverage some of the more advanced things CSS can now do. But if you have a mobile device that’s stuck running an old browser I’ve added some fallbacks so it’s still at least usable, but I’ve intentionally ignored any browser that nobody should really be using anymore for anything (like Internet Explorer). Presumably if you choose to roll with retro gear you probably don’t care about making Friendica look modern anyway.
I’ll do more detailed posts about each of these new features, but here’s an overview:
BETTER MOBILE MODE!
You may have noticed there isn’t an “official” Friendica mobile app and the webapp feels pretty clunky and outdated. You could, of course, use Relatica or Raccoon for an actual native mobile app experience, but I’ve notice a lot of people (myself included) are trying to use the webapp. And it needs improvement.
I redesigned the mobile view to look and function a lot more like people expect a mobile app to work these days. One specific thing that was asked for was a way to get the toolbars out of the way in landscape mode, particularly on phones with small screens. The mobile landscape view now hides the toolbars and presents you with a limited set of buttons down the left and right sides of the screen if, in landscape orientation, the viewport is less than 400 pixels high. That’s going to be the majority of phones on the market today. Need more controls? Just rotate your phone back to portrait.
I’ve extensively tested this new UI on more than a half a dozen actual mobile devices, including an iPhone 5s, iPhone 8, two different recent Samsung phones, and older iPad Mini, two Android tablets, and two old Android phones.
EDIT: Post with more details about the new Mobile UI
AUTO VERSION!
More than one of you specifically asked for a version that would automatically switch between Light or Dark depending on which mode you have set on your device. It was tricky to implement given all the colors that are set server-side in PHP variables, but I came up with a pure-CSS way of doing it. It doesn’t even need to set a browser cookie. Enjoy going over to the Dark Side. Or Light Side. Whichever.
Unfortunately there is no auto version of the user content stylesheets for the client-side. The client-side styles require the underlying “Frio” theme be set to Light, Dark, Black, or Custom (which is based on Light). There is no way for a client-side stylesheet to automatically switch the server-side theme scheme, so there will never be an auto version of the user stylesheets.
LOCALIZATION & CUSTOMIZATION
Under the Settings > Display > Theme Customization options you could previously only set the Accent Colors. There was a "Link Color" box below that but it didn't do anything. Well, now it does. You can set almost any color you please ("almost" because it does error-catching to make sure you don't set it to the same color as the background).
I’ve moved as much as possible into CSS variables at the top of the stylesheets, so modifying Bookface to your liking is easier than ever. Just change the variable in that one place and everything else follows suit.
One thing in particular I’ve noticed from people’s screenshots is the engagement counts on Action Buttons being changed to match the button color or made black, etc., to make them less distracting. Personally I like them being in my Accent Color so I can quickly see which posts/comments are getting engagement and check them out. But I can also understand that all those colored “dots” could be distracting while scrolling. So I added CSS variables for “count-color” and "count-bg" that let you change the engagement count tex and background color to whatever you want.
But I took it beyond just the colors. Bookface sets a bunch of labels as pseudo-elements, and they are in English because that’s the only language I know. I saw a comment the other day from a German user on a German server that has implemented Bookface note that the labels were in English and thought they should be localized. Well, yes, they *should* and now I made it super easy for server admins to do that!
Just change the CSS variables for the labels at the top of the stylesheets to your language!
Bookface Action Button labels localized (if the translation is laughably wrong blame Google Translate, I don't know any other languages)COVER PHOTOS!
Every other social media platform seems to have a “Cover Photo/Header Picture” for your profile page. But not Friendica. 🙁 Until now! You can add images to your profile description and/or custom profile fields. You can also put things inside “class” containers. So I coded Bookface to detect a class container named “coverphoto” and treat whatever image(s) are in it as your big, bold cover picture.
You can also decide, depending on where you place it, whether it’s only visible on your actual “Profile” page or if it’s visible on all your profile pages, or if you want to show different cover photos on your profile and the other profile pages. If you’re really indecisive you can place up to 4 images in the container and Bookface will turn them into a striped collage.
As for what that looks like to other people who aren’t using Bookface? Well, they still see a thumbnail of your image(s) in your profile, it just won’t look really cool to them.
EDIT: Post with more details about Cover Photos
PRETTY TAGS!
What is social media without hashtags right? And it’s cool that in the Fediverse you can follow a hashtag like you follow a person. But Friendica’s tags look...kinda bad. A bit distracting. Too small. Too hard to read. And some people really go wild with a wall of tags in their posts. I’m apparently not the only one who thinks they could use some improvements. There are discussions about this in Friendica’s GitHub issues going back several years.
First of all, I don’t think we need the little lightning bolt or person icons on them anymore. It’s 2025, people know what a tag and a mention are. I also replaced the “(x)” on categories with an “X” icon. Next I made the tags the same size they are on Mastodon, which is also makes much better touch-targets on mobile devices. To make them less distracting I gave them an “open” design, and recoded them so only the tag you are hovering/focused on switches to a “filled” design. For consistency I kept similar colors to the existing “Frio” tags, but adjusted them for better contrast against either the Light or Dark mode versions.
The image shows how the tags appear in both Light and Dark modes and against the different background colors for posts and comments. The first row for each background color is how they normally appear, the second is the rollover effect when you hover on them.
GO GET IT!

I've also seen a call for a #BuyNothingDay on Feb 28. There's room for all sorts of different plans.
Things like this offer individual side benefits (e.g. delicious homegrown food, or money spent on a beautiful piece of local art instead of on an over-engineered appliance) that exist independently of the core objective.

If we learned anything from Greta and the various Eastern Europe protests, it takes sustain and regular protests to keep from being ignored.

TAKE PART & SHARE THE NEWS
If you haven't heard, there will be an economic blackout Febuary 28th, nationwide. This means don't buy ANYTHING unless it's from a small business: No gas, no fast food, and definitely nothing from places like Target, Walmart, or Amazon. Get the word out!
We want THEM to see that WE have the power. We will start with 1 day, then 3, then specific companies until our message is heard.
Please spread the word!

@Remittancegirl keep in mind, for a lot of people, not going to work even one day means losing their job and not being able to pay rent or feed their families. Events like this are fine, but shaming people who can't risk everything for it is not helpful.
@Remittancegirl Correct. If it's truly impossible, of course they shouldn't. But when the entire democracy and country is at stake, one would think most people would do ANYthing to save their own necks. I don't understand the resistance/reluctance either. @wjd @willbunch
@wjd @Remittancegirl Sigh. No. And you failed to read my other replies.
I shamed nobody. But you are right now.
Geez.
You clearly don't follow me or read my posts.
I followed up by saying, if it's impossible to miss a day, then of course, but most can miss a day. This is our entire existence/democracy we're talking about here. Sadly, we need to take risks we'd never take. & clearly I'm not asking anyone who can't to do f'ing anything. BACK OFF.

@AbiNormal @Remittancegirl It doesn’t have to end on Saturday. Keep it up through Monday. Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, as long as you can. How long until the economy tanks? Repeat whenever possible.

@stib Americans do not say, "Let's have our election on a Tuesday." Most would rather there be a holiday or a weekend vote.
This was a law passed ages ago for reasons that made sense then. Not now.

As for Saturday, guessing they thought it would be a safer choice for the first effort at a general strike. Fewer people w/ jobs at risk. I see nothing wrong with that.

The Ides of March, American Style. I’m 💯 in.
This may sound selfish but I’m a teacher (there are a lot of us) and taking a day off is a giant pain. Someone has to work if we call out. Doing this on a Saturday means we can skip spending and participate.
@Remittancegirl @AbiNormal Are you sure it’s not a plant?
It would also get people to think they’ve done enough and not do more?
You should think you’re dealing with nazi trolls behind every corner now, with the techniques of oldtime soviet spies.🤔

I think the idea was to try it the first time in a way that wasn't asking most people to risk much.
I think the idea was to try it the first time in a way that wasn't asking most people to risk much.
Sure, why not? But why a weekend? Doesn't sound serious from the get. Why not a week, begining with a Monday?
@RADman11 Because they chose Saturday. you want a Monday? Then be proactive and set up a second general strike. We’ll need more than one.
"because they chose Saturday I want Monday"? No actually I want any week day at all because it will have a much larger economic impact and because common sense would tell anyone that thought about it that Saturday is a lame fucking choice. That would be why. Why all the fucking attitude over such an innocuous comment?
@RADman11 Uh, because of what you said? “Doesn’t sound serious” 🤦🏻♀️
I don’t care which weekday you think is right or wrong, this is already underway. We need to support it, not bash it.
NO day is a “lame choice.” EVERY action is a good one.
If you’re not happy with it, like I said, organize another one. We need it. We need a lot more of it.
And speaking of attitude, maybe rethink your own choice of words.
See ya.
question from abroad: do you have goals?
Do you just want D. gone?
Or do you want other stuff?
Like reforming your voting system?
@fuchsi It’s not just him. It’s Republicans. Should he leave office, MAGA still exists, his entire Cabinet still exists.
No, we have to fight fascism, not a man. Voting rights are only one of their targets.
so what's the plan? The country is shut down. And then what?
@fuchsi ? I don’t understand why you’re asking me this.
If you continue to disable and w/hold, it gives us leverage as a people.
Please look up “general strikes”
I thought there was some agenda I wasn't aware of yet. It sounded fancy.
Yes, a general strike is a good idea.
(Just make sure there is a plan for afterwards. Or if it fails.)
@fuchsi Oh I see. No idea.

With reports the other day of demonstrations that weren't known about by the locals (and the warnings and all), I wondered, and flagged it up without doing enough reading.

If people want a different day, then organize a second one.
Take the win, people. General strike is a win.

Hi Are there plans to enclude orca in the live images or will this have to be installed manually? I would love to be able to use this.
@mdyer1 Hi, at the moment, there are no plans to include it. We did try to include it, but making it work goes beyond our current knowledge for now.
Hi, Thats a shame as i would really like to give this a look, but untill this is done I will not be able to give this a look. I hope this is something that could be reconsitered as this would be another opsion for blind users who want to be able to use it.

Let us rectify that, and this video. Dilla never had a pop hit? How about Eryka Badus "Didn't Cha know"? Or how about Q-Tips "Breathe and stop"? Well, maybe not pop hits...
Ofc he was the producer of The Pharcyde, did De La Souls "Breakadawn" and a fair deal of Slum Village...
In any case, few modern composers revolutionized modern music like he did - and you probably didn't even know how important he was.

So glad to see this essential story funded. I am supplementing my Japanese language study with reading and speaking lessons via a brilliant tutor online - he has me reading some popular Japanese children’s books for practice, so I’m definitely adding this one to the pile ❤️
how lovely - it is great to see one of my childhood TV heroes is now also an author, even if it's for a sad reason.
We’ve been reading your book to our girls, along with “Escucha mi voz / Hear My Voice” about child separation during Trump’s first term. Thank you for sharing your story so we can pass it on to another generation. We cannot forget our past, lest we repeat it.
今の邪悪な政治に対して批判していることの上、Takeiさんは素晴らしい人の象徴ですよ！Happy to see your book is soon to be available!

Say what you want to say about Nvidia
But getting a new update on my 2019 #nvidia #sheildtv was not on my bingo card this year. I'll wait a few day to see potential bug reports, but that's pretty awesome to receive updates and features this late in the a game. The 2015 model also received an update! That's TEN YEARS!
I really wish there as a good #androidtv replacement though. I've actually just started thinking about it given it's starting to show it's age.

Does it run your main media center with a simple controller that my wife can use? if so, please share - i'm not being sarcastic. I would rather not using android tv, but I have to accommodate the wife... She's not even a huge fan of kodi 🙁

what a surprise eh? ‘Christian’ conservatives don’t even understand bible stories.
during Brexit one of its leaders said something along the lines of "like Icarus, we shall fly away"
Their posh education didnt teach the ending of that ancient tale then?

@Lazarou that rings a bell, who was that again? 😂
@sheislaurence I'm thinking it might have actually been Boris Johnson, but they were certainly Posh and would have known that story.
@Lazarou i had to look it up... It was the Telegraph! Peak journalism! Wonder if they went to the same posh school as Liz Truss... newstatesman.com/politics/2019…
Tortured Brexit metaphor alert! The Telegraph thinks Icarus “flew to freedom”
Media outlets making historical or literary references that inadvertently undermine their argument is your mole’s favourite genre of Brexit-era journalism. Remember Nick Timothy calling for Theresa MaMedia Mole (New Statesman)
@sheislaurence lol, classic Telegraph
also, Goliath has been taken advantage of, Goliath with 10x population & economy, nuclear weapons, head of NATO, renegotiator of NAFTA, owner world currency, loving home to billionaires, ... was taken advantage of? Must be a terrible deal maker to stumble over David's igloo.
