"A bitcoin or two", haha. You have no idea how long and hard a bunch of us had to fight to keep cryptocurrency out of Firefox.

the aggravating thing about firefox isn't it being less successful or less financially viable or less technically advanced compared to its competitors or whatever. its the weird, unforced errors. inexplicable, unless google handed a couple of firefox devs a bitcoin or two and a copy of the CIA's Simple Sabotage Field Manual (1944)

I really love Mastodon, but it’s practically impossible to have a representation of a small business here. You get piled with “this has to be opensource!!1!”, “why do you charge money for this?” and so on. I and others tried so many times to basically move Instagram accounts here, but the amount of hate here for small businesses just trying to do their thing is just too much.

국가의 사과를 요구하는 동해안 납북귀환어부 사건 피해자들에게 경찰이 “위령제가 열리지 않아 사과가 지연되고 있다”고 답변한 것으로 확인됐습니다. 피해자들은 1971년 동해에서 조업하던 중 북한군에 납치됐다가 귀환했으나 수사기관의 불법 구금과 가혹 행위로 인해 간첩으로 몰려 억울한 옥살이를 해야 했습니다.

Ah, OpenBSD.

@bsdBSD Security Advisories posts that there's an httpd(8) errata.

$ doas syspatch
$ doas rcctl restart httpd

Total effort? about 40 seconds of my life total across three machines. I might not have even had to restart httpd, but it cost nigh-nothing to do so.

I wish all updates were that boring/straightforward.

p.s. For anyone wondering what the post language setting is even for, it allows people to easily filter out posts in languages they don't speak, and also provides a "translate" button below your post if people don't speak your language.

However, this system relies on people using the correct language settings for their posts, so that the system knows which language each post uses.

You can find out more about language settings on Mastodon in the guide at fedi.tips/setting-your-languag

p.p.s. Using the correct post language setting is also important for accessibility:

The language setting of a post determines how a screen reader pronounces it when read out loud.

If you have the wrong language setting on your post, this can make it difficult for blind and visually impaired people to understand it because their screen reader software may not prounce it correctly.

Thank you very much to @elettronaElena Brescacin for pointing out this issue!

The talk from @haubleshannah aubry and myself about Mastodon’s upcoming community governance plans; our vision, mission and values; and updates to the server recommendations, is now available to watch. I was honoured to be asked to co-present this session.

More to come on all of these topics over the coming weeks, on our blog and on the main project account.

I’ll be posting about the other sessions from the Devroom over the next few weeks, as well.

This week we explore some of the *advanced* aspects to writing a good test suite.

We use our 'expectDifference' helper to precisely describe changes to state, and then we rapidly add test coverage using the forthcoming “Point-Free Way” skills documents. Finally, we will achieve the seemingly impossible by writing a test against iCloud sharing!
