….MATH, people, MATH. With THAC0 you had to do actual math every time you took a swing at Ettin or something and every time they swung back at you. No more. Now it’s de-mathed. It’s making our children and odd adults stupider. Now, let me move on to Blibdoolpoolp: hot or not?

I am working on creating a handbook that describes the assistive technologies available in the FreeBSD operating system, which will be freely available online for anyone to consult. Currently, the effort is focused on gathering and documenting accessibility features for visual impairments, and it is sponsored by the @FreeBSDFoundation

If you are interested in the topic, a public repository is available for suggestions and corrections: gitlab.com/alfix/freebsd-acces

Screenshot of the "FreeBSD Accessibility Handbook" webpage. The page is part of the official FreeBSD documentation site and includes the title, copyright information (© 2025 The FreeBSD Foundation), and an abstract. The abstract welcomes readers and explains that the handbook covers assistive technologies available in FreeBSD. It is described as a work in progress, with suggestions and feedback encouraged. The page also notes that the handbook can be downloaded in various formats from FreeBSD servers. On the left side, a navigation menu lists chapters such as Help, Virtual Terminal, Colors, Low Vision, Blindness, Desktop Environments, and Development.

Within the context of threaded discussions, contexts (aka "topics", "posts", "threads", etc.) are associated with an audience (aka "forum", "category", "community", etc.).

What happens currently when a context is moved from one audience to another? How does ActivityPub enabled software communicate this?

I recently moved this topic from one category to another, and in doing so, realized that I have absolutely no idea what happens to the group association as seen by other software.

@rimu@piefed.social also said in the other thread:

Also moving what NodeBB calls a topic (a post in Lemmy/PieFed) from what NodeBB calls a category (community in Lemmy/PieFed) into a different category (without spawning a new topic or leaving the old copy behind) is much needed but not implemented in Lemmy/PieFed/Mbin.

One solution would be to federate an Update activity, though this is problematic because audience, the relevant field in question, is on its way out.

Another solution would involve the Move activity, which would be an explicit signal that something moved somewhere. In this case, the Move would indicate the context moved to the new audience, or in AP software that have not implemented FEP 7888, then the top-level object will have moved to the new audience.

Many speculated that can be turned into a microblogging server easily. It's true, one only has to hide the bookmarked URL, writing the text in the bookmark description.

Paying attention to the rising popularity of microblogs around the world, we've decided to make Betula into such an application. The next version, v2.0.0, will be the start of the new era. We'll focus on compatibility with the leading platforms such as and first.

Most people know that you use a leading, upside-down question mark before the question in Spanish:

¿Me puedes traer el yoyó?

…and the same for exclamations:

¡Rompiste mi yoyó!

…but many people forget that if you have a sentence that ends with an emoji, you also need to use an upside-down version of the emoji before the sentence:

🙃 Me gusta tu yoyó rosa 🙂
