Yeah. Well... I think there will be a bunch of us relearning how to "surf" the web again.

Web rings are on the rise, and blog rolls, and 88*31 link buttons.

The search engines suck, so we'll be curating and collecting and sharing with each other over here now, thanks for nothing, Google, <del>don't</del> let the door hit you on the way out.

Netscape Navigator 2.0 was released 30 years ago today.

This version introduced a number of new features:

• Plugins! This was the first time a web page could make sound, via RealAudio.
• Incremental display of progressive JPEGs on slow dialup connections.
• Animated GIFs that were actually useful.
• HTML frames.
• JavaScript! That wasn't my fault, but you still have my apologies.
• And of course my baby, the first release of Netscape Mail and News:

Had a great conversation with @sarajwSara Joy :happy_pepper: today. We both toyed around with the web as a hobby in the late 90s before eventually turning it into a career much later on.

We talked a lot about that, but then got into accessibility. I just loved how she referred to it as "a heart thing" 😊

Full conversation will be up on the second channel in a few weeks (I actually have a backlog over there now!), but you can always subscribe so you don't miss out 😉

BluefinはFedoraベースでアトミックアップデートを採用しているイミュータブルなデスクトップOS。デスクトップ環境はGNOME。今回、Fedoraの代わりにCentOS StreamとEPELをベースにしたBluefin LTSがリリースされた。

Bluefin LTSは安定したシステムと最近のバージョンに更新されたGNOME、bootcによるアトミックでロールバック可能なシステムアップデート、Flatpak・Homebrew・Distroboxなどによる拡張性を兼ね備えたメンテナンスの手間が少ないデスクトップOSになると期待している。

他方、インストールしてすぐCUDAとVSCode、RamaLamaを使ったAI・機械学習のアプリケーション開発を始められるBluefin GDX(GDXはGPU Developer Experienceの略)もリリースされた。

I can deal with the onslaught of TLAs (three-letter abbreviations), but not numeronyms.

Seriously, why are numeronyms so popular?

I can understand them for some words that are annoying to spell, like i18n (internationalization) and l10n (localization), but they still do not make sense.

How is someone to guess what the N amount of letters between a word represents?

The worst offender in my book is "a11y", the short version of "accessibility". Not only because it reads like "ally" (which is a no-no), but also because it's ironic that the abbreviation for accessibility is inaccessible.

Anyway, that's my rant.

BREAKING: Senate confirms 48 of Trump’s nominees at once after changing the chamber’s rules

This is exactly why I was screaming at Biden and Senate Dems to abolish the Jim Crow filibuster and pass the legislation that the American people wanted and deserved. But feckless leadership was so beholden to "norms" they refused.

We knew the GOP would do this. And now they've done it. And Schumer is still pointing at an irrelevant rule book of norms. smh

Lads lads lads lads!

Here's the first release candidate for v0.20.0 of #GoToSocial! If you're feeling bold, you can try this release candidate and help us find any lingering bugs before we release v0.20.0 proper!

https://codeberg.org/superseriousbusiness/gotosocial/releases/tag/v0.20.0-rc1

Please read the migration notes carefully for instructions on how to upgrade to this version.

The migrations in this release are quite long (can take several hours, even!), as we had to rethread the entire statuses table to handle the new way we cache status threads (and to improve timeline performance). Please plan downtime accordingly, and most importantly hang in there and don't be tempted to interrupt the migration process!

Please also pay particular attention to the metrics changes, as we've significantly changed the way that metrics exposure is configured, so you will likely have to adjust your setup if you use GtS Prometheus metrics. For more information on the new way of doing things, look through this document: https://docs.gotosocial.org/en/latest/advanced/metrics/

Release highlights

  • Big refactor of timeline code to use less memory and be (hopefully!) more responsive and less error prone.
  • Support for scheduled statuses!
  • Support for the focal point property on the frontend + over federation, so you can set focal point on your media and have it work properly!
  • Notifications when a status you've interacted with has been edited.
  • ListenBrainz widget on the frontend, so you can show off the music you've been listening to (https://docs.gotosocial.org/en/latest/user_guide/settings/#profile-fields)
  • Instance info panel in the settings, so that non-admins on the instance can see which domains are blocked and explicitly allowed, and the reason why.
  • Bunch of new themes for profile views!
  • Config option to expose emoji endpoints without authentication -- useful for compatibility with some clients. Default value still requires authentication.
  • Footnotes in markdown!
  • Configurable thumbnail dimensions.
  • Federation of avatar + header image descriptions is handled now, both in + out of GtS.
  • The new hidesToPublicFromUnauthedWeb and hidesCcPublicFromUnauthedWeb are federated in and out now, allowing your instance and other instances that support these properties to transmit + respect preferences for the visibility of posts to render on the unauthenticated (public) web view of threads.
  • Support for avif file format.
  • JSON logging format, for easier log ingestion.
  • Atom and JSON feed support for RSS (not just xml).
  • Reworked metrics format, more + better metrics, and an importable example grafana dashboard.
  • Domain permission subscription retractions are now handled properly.
  • Probably a lot more! See below!

Thanks for reading!

@KraftTeaMark Kraft There are times we speak to a more general audience, and there are times we are speaking to people closer to the know. In this case, we are trying to let the people who are close to the purpose of adopting it understand. In other cases, we go more high level. While an init system is important, the people who are likely to care already know what "init system" means.

By the way, I don't like the trope of "explain to a mom/grandma". It's never "a dad/grandpa". :\

And my job (like everyone else in ) is cutting my hours (and even months... next year i'll only be paid for 11 months out of 12). At least I still have hours to be cut.

I have a job until December 31st. I'm hoping they'll reup the contract, such as it is. We'll see.

I need to spin up my LLC again and see if there's any meaningful side work available.

Might join with other testers and form a co-op.

I had a successful side business for a bit and then the pandemic wiped it out just as it was about to turn into my main business. And then my life completely flipped the lid, lol.

But I'm in a better places now... so. Let's see if I can do it again.

In this environment. Lol. Sob.

Gotta put food on the table, even as fascism seeks to destroy us. Yaaaay.....
