I use vernissage rather than pixelfed, but yeah, it’s the only one I deliberately try and post to every day!

The person you replied to isn’t a Piefed user…

It’s called remote deposit cheque fraud. It’s a fake cheque. If you cash it, it will eventually get flagged as a a fake, and the bank will take the money back, even if you’ve already spent it or sent it to the scammer. And if you never send money to the scammer, they get nothing, but it also costs them nothing to make the attempt, because you’re the one depositing the cheque and wearing the risk.

I got a new PC and was really upset at the idea of putting windows on it. The ad lack of ownership of my own hardware, I couldn’t do it, and so I installed Linux (again), but this time, it stuck.

I’ve reached the age where I’m starting to noticably slow down and things are getting harder, I’ve had pneumonia a couple of times, a bunch of surgeries, and possibly covid in the middle of it.

If I’m honest, I’ve not got back to where I was, and I likely never will. And it’s been really demotivating, meaning that I’ll pause my runs, and lose momentum if I’m not careful.

What worked for me was making sure it wasn’t just me. I encourage my partner to come out for a walk when I run, so that we can push each other in to moving. I also set myself an event to train for, and once I’ve done it in a few weeks, I’ll set myself another event, even if it’s a year away, and use an app/plan to give me some structure to my training.

I have particularly relied on TrainAsOne, as it adjusts with my fitness, but honestly, any sort of plan that gives you an actual plan, will help when it comes to sustaining your momentum.

All of that being said, I’m typing this, after having put off my scheduled run because it’s cold outside. But as soon as I’ve sent this, I’m going to and get dressed and run. And having put that out there in a world, now, I’ll actually do it :)

Me personally? Because they proudly host and protect hate sites

Vernissage. It’s a federated photography sharing platform. In theory it’s similar to pixelfed, but more like flickr, and less like instagram

I do the same. My name is pronounced differently by hispanohablante folk, and I use that pronunciation when speaking Spanish.

My “thrill” is in not funding corporations that are speed running enshittification whilst also making bank off of bigotry and hatred.

I doubt I’ll ever get bored with that…

The same thing happens in trans communities, but the answer isn’t for the old guard to try and handle everything themselves, burn out and then shut down newbies that are looking for community and help.

The answer is for the crusty old guard to create the space and keep the worst offenders out, whilst letting the people that aren’t burnt out support each other and keep the community thriving.

Sometimes that means letting common questions be common, because if you’ve got a positive community, someone will always be there with an answer and a link to an even more detailed resource.

Interesting that he frames LLMs as both a tool that he needs to use to compete, whilst also framing their use as a scarlet letter that will tank sales if he uses them.

You can use the open drivers instead of the closed ones, but they’re not as developed.

Nvidia dropped support for some older cards in their linux driver recently, so that could be it!

Same idea as relay.fedi.buzz

It’s useful for smaller servers. Basically, the only remote content that a fediverse instance sees is content produced by a remote account that a local account is subscribed too. So the more users subscribing to remote content, the more content that everyone sees. But in small servers, without a huge amount of incoming content, it can be hard to get a broader view of the fediverse.

This is a way for people on smaller fediverse instances to pull in broader content, because anything that tags.pub sees with the hashtag, gets pushed to your local server.

Our piefed instance (which hosts our remaining communities) should be back up soon!

Don’t worry, we’re back again :)

For what it’s worth, I absolutely want to see duplicate communities across multiple instances. Even if it’s a backup community, folks shouldn’t be left without a space if an instance goes offline, or if an admin goes rogue. I want to see more communities for vulnerable folk across more instances.

I wish there were more queer first instances too, and hopefully, this incident pushes someone in to spinning one up!

She doesn’t care about maths. She cares about making the bigots feel confident enough to express their bigotry. She wants her voter base to feel powerful and also persecuted, so she’ll switch frames of reference as needed.
