I pingpong back and forth between
"why do I spend so much time working on and thinking about social media and digital communication, its just posting"
vs.
"commercial social media is a global scale informational weapon, the primary means of oligarchic control, radicalizing entire generations […]

lol wow websites are trash these days. AA gave me this warning during the "Review and pay" but took the money and sent me a confirmation email. I have been using Kiwi to buy plane tickets for many years but they are now giving me really bad results so I went […]

it's real: first MNT Quasar processor module prototype, assembled today by @theawesomerandomness! this will allow the usage of qualcomm qcs6490 and hopefully two other pin compatibles in current and future MNT open hardware laptops/computers.
mnt quasar module. a roughly square green pcb with sodimm shaped gold fingers sitting on a black cutting mat. the module sports a big steel cage that has a cutout revealing qcs6490 and ram chips. same module, flipped on the back. there's a square hole in the pcb where a part of the processor shield pokes through

im gona write me a FEP about moving post collections and it will be the shortest FEP ever written*.

"Just use a Collection of `Move` objects"

this just isn't complicated enough to be as big of a problem as it is

*(but actually be a real FEP with the proper considerations and whatnot)

I have an offer to make: do you want to run an instance on the fediverse for a group that's underrepresented here?

I'll pay the bills. Period.

I'll do admin if needed (software updates and the like). But you decide what kind of community you want it to be, so you put together the mod team.

DM me.

Amazing summery of events right here

I hear and see your concerns. Over the weekend, a couple users hosted on Blacksky's PDS were banned from the Bluesky app and thus the Bluesky API servers. This was a weakness of our system I've been aware of and hoped we had more time to address before any kind of public incident. 1/11

Ah interesting so @fedify made an announcement post https://hollo.social/@fedify/0199c1dd-6516-76b0-b9cc-de19aaff8d3b

And they are getting $500 a month donated to their open collective. Gotta love the transparency here
### Announcement: AltStore becomes a financial contributor to Fedify We're thrilled to announce that AltStore has become a financial contributor to Fedify! This generous support comes as part of AltStore's broader commitment to strengthening the open social web ecosystem, as they prepare to become the world's first federated app store. Their investment in Fedify and other fediverse projects demonstrates a shared vision for building a more open, interoperable digital future. AltStore's journey into the fediverse represents a groundbreaking approach to app distribution—connecting their alternative app marketplace with the open social web through ActivityPub. As pioneers who have already pushed Apple to change App Store policies twice in their first year, AltStore understands the transformative power of open protocols and decentralized systems. Their support will help Fedify continue developing robust tools and libraries that make it easier for developers to build federated applications. We're deeply grateful for AltStore's trust in our project and look forward to seeing how their innovative federated app store will reshape mobile app distribution while strengthening the entire fediverse ecosystem. https://rileytestut.com/blog/2025/10/07/evolving-altstore-pal/

@trevorgoodchild.bsky.social Ivory and Tapestry are for profit, owned by small businesses and are not open source, the information is public that they received this donation.

@trevorgoodchild.bsky.social this is all public, you can read the blog post of the announcement https://rileytestut.com/blog/2025/10/0

Mastodon has a GmbH, and is not Public Domain.

So $500,000 from Pace Capital goes to:
Mastodon (in the announcement is says they get $300,000 of it) so that leaves $200,000 split between:
Ivory
Tapestry
mstdn.social
A New Social
PeerTube
BookWyrm
Akkoma
Fedify

Which is $25,000 each if it's devided evenly

did any of you look into who these VCs are who just allowed half a million dollars of their money flow into the fediverse? surprised I haven't seen anyone talking about this yet.

Oh actually @evan, you said at the end you were making moves to plan for next year FOSDEM, would love to get involved with those plans if at all possible. I would be down to put my skills to use for something fediverse related next year there for sure.
fedi.wake.st
@evan I was lucky to get to talk to @pfefferle a bunch in person the other (fedi)day so it sorta felt like a continuation of our conversation. I knew most of the back story you outlined but it was nice to hear some of the details filled in. Like the part about were you were talking about @torgo […]
