Mastodon is a microblogging service, so not meant for large bodies of text. This is why the text entry box is small, the columns are somewhat narrow (especially in deck mode) etc. Platforms like https://writefreely.org/ , w

Relatedly, Mastodon is a) too hard for me to sign up for and b) a failed experiment. That the former was being repeated by people here still makes me chuckle.

My understanding of this thread is that it's about phones being our digital IDs, except we don't control them.

by proactivesvcs 3y ago
Because increasingly, we don't own or control our phones. Carriers can push any software they like to it, or can be compelled to. Operating system vendors can add, remove or edit features that can restrict our freedoms or for perniciou

How were so many malware adverts allowed on Google's ad networks in the past? For the same reason: they just don't care.

I went to download the attached .txt file and actually saw Firefox's download pie gradually filling. I thought, how big is this single registry key‽ 344Mb, that's how big!

Not just the games industry, but software in general. Wube's commitment to efficiency and bug fixing is to be lauded.

It doesn't need Flash Player any more? It's the year 2023 and I can run the Prime Number Shitting Bear again? Hallelujah!

Really excited to see more NVMe support; my experience of vendor-supplied tools and reporting forces me to rely on smartmontools, which has been quietly reliable for as long as I can remember.

Yeah, joined by renting masto.host's service. Nothing against masto.host but Wikimedia are not running their own server, or really their own instance. It's a net positive but it's not the decentralised, independent example th

They don't really control this server - they're using masto.host to host their instance.

That split is only a split in one sense. If me, on Fosstodon which blocks facebook, wants to read your posts on a server that doesn't block, we are not impeded.

I'm not sure the same thing is on the horizon for the Fedi because it's in a different position. If facebook did join and suddenly we have a huge number of new people to talk to, many servers will block facebook on sight, and so w

It's crystal clear until it's not. In the UK a bicycle is, rightly so, considered a vehicle. I know this, but I'd guess many British people do not. I also understand why bicycles are considered vehicles and, when on my bike,

Thanks for this info! It had to be installed and working rather promptly, which meant I didn't have the time I'd usually like to acclimate to a new operating system. I'll look into WinBox.

I set one up for the first time a few weeks back. The Web UI would sometimes time out my session after less than a minute, and then many of the sidebar buttons would be duplicated. Choosing a "template" option for how the WiFi&#x2

It's an orange field of strange little holes in the ground. Some people would simply walk past and not wonder. Others, The Curious, would be compelled to stop and peer down one. "Oh, a rabbit hole. I wonder where it leads?"

I hadn't even noticed it was a feature. The fact that I am not immediately turned off by the headlines here makes my ignorance a surprise!

It's an excuse they don't have to explain, citing "security reasons". It's an entirely suspicious way to run a business.

And have your Microsoft account locked out for "suspicious behaviour" because you won't give them your phone number.

Sounds like it wasn't handling junctions correctly. I wonder what obscure/ancient code caused that.

It'd be nice if Microsoft read this list and adjusted their software, like perhaps File Explorer, to be able to read and write this data. Or at least delete it.

A hard metallic one? That is hardcore. I prefer the fabric/foam ones for the comfort. Perhaps I have a wimpy thumb.

I find that they're more comfortable than a table surface for my wrist and lower thumb, and depending on the table mean that the mouse doesn't make that horrible sandpapery noise if it's running on grain, imperfections or uh,

A mousepad. I don't often see them used by people with mice any more and stopped suggesting them since almost everyone turned down the idea.
