‘There is no guarantee that a future generation will build on the moral achievements it inherits. Nazism was an awful warning. But neither are there limits to what humans may achieve if they are faithful. So utopias are banished – but it is only a provisional pessimism: there is always a hope to motivate us.’

Ronald H. Preston (1913–2001)

Tiny Mastodon Tip to Hide Topics 🫣 :mastodon:

If you get tired of seeing some
topics in your Mastodon feeds,

Know that you can use "Filters"
to help you save your spoons.

HOW TO ❓

From the desktop web interface:

1. Go to "Preferences" on the right-side menu.

2. Click on "Filters" on the left-side menu.

3. At the top-right, click on the "Add new filter" button.

4. Give a name to your filter in the "Title" field at the top, for example "US Politics". This Title will be displayed instead of the post and you will have the option to click on the Title to reveal a filtered post in your feeds 👀

5. Select the options you prefer. I recommend selecting "Hide with a warning" at first. That way, you will see if your Filter works and get the option described above to see it ⚠️ :blocky_white_cursor:

6. In "KEYWORDS", add the hashtags, words, names, or expressions you wish to hide for this topic. Select "Whole word" on the right.

7. Click on "Add keyword" at the bottom to add as many hashtags, names, or words that you wish for a same topic :neocat_book:

8. Click on "Save new filter".

9. Magic! 🥄✨

Bonus Tip! To help everyone's filters work, on Mastodon it's good to use uncensored names and hashtags in your posts. That way, people will be able to filter it out if they wish 💚

Per farla finita con la fine

Farla finita con le guerre e la catastrofe ecologica, farla finita con la fine in cui stiamo[*], richiede di disertare qualsiasi guerra tra stati e prendere dappertutto i mezzi di produzione, le terre e i municipi per fermare la produzione inquinante e riorganizzarci in un confederalismo democratico globale, tipo suppergiù così: federazioneanarchica.org/archi

Achievement unlocked: loaded a GNOME link that was pasted in a chatroom and triggered @cadeyXe :verified:'s "Anubis" anti-LLM-scraper protection catgirl with my genuine Firefox browser, and had to watch my CPU burn for a minute :blobmiou:

I regret to inform you that we have now entered the DEFCON 1 stage of the struggle against the LLMs "AI" bubble 🫠

What I don't quite understand is why the GitLab instance would put up this challenge to already logged-in users 🤔

Screenshot of an "Anubis" anti-scraper proof-of-work waiting page blocking immediate access to the GNOME GitLab instance.
The waiting page features a catgirl saying, "Making sure you're not a bot!" and "Calculating…"Screenshot of an "Anubis" anti-scraper proof-of-work completed page, where the catgirl raises both thumbs up and exclaims "Success!" and states that my verification took 104980 miliseconds, with 1382644 iterations.

There is an optional feature on Mastodon which lets you automatically delete your posts after a certain amount of time:

➡️ fedi.tips/deleting-posts-autom

If you activate this, your posts that are older than a certain number of weeks, months or years are automatically deleted by your server.

The setup process for autodelete also lets you choose types of post or specific posts not to delete.

(If you want to keep everything, just don't activate autodelete 🙂 )

Subtoot: For multiple decades the USA has been detaining/deporting people on a tourist visa but with clear evidence they intended to work in the US, something a tourist visa never allowed.

Just because in a recent example the tourist is white (oh no, mean rules apply to white people now!) doesn't mean it wasn't done to countless people before. And is also done by most countries if a person doesn't have a work visa.

This isn't a Trump thing or even a USA exclusive.

Joueur depuis mon plus jeune âge, a bricolé avec un ordinateur beaucoup trop tôt mais cela m'a permis de comprendre rapidement les enjeux derrière. J'ai la chance de pouvoir sensibiliser au quotidien dans une structure axée sur la culture numérique.
Les logiciels libres et le jeu vidéo indé me suivent quotidiennement, une chance.

En dehors de ça, face à ce monde brutal, j'écoute énormément de musique et quand l'énergie est là, je photographie énormément de paysages urbains.

J'essaie depuis quelques années de faire des diffusions sur Twitch/PeerTube mais je manque d'énergie (qui sait ma fatigue chronique deviendra peut-être du passé..).
