@cm0002 Wow. That's including the books they archived? Or, just the websites?
O_O I didn't hear about the user data issue.
Hmm… I wonder how long it has been going on. It took a couple of weeks before I got a reply from them that an admin unintentionally deleted my account, now that you mentioned it, my account probably got squeezed between spam accounts or something. (I was just advised to create a new account, and sadly only lists can be restored. T_T )

@Varyk@sh.itjust.works Yep, it's challenging and sad. Even Wikipedia use it as a resource and backup of sources.
And there are also those using it to archive copyright infringement, or as a record of a work's license at the time (specially since some loves to change the license when they originally released it in Creative Commons or the Public Domain).
It's crazy though that there was no service as close to the features archive.org has. The only one I'm aware of available publicly is archive.ph / archive.md but they don't offer the archiving of links found, and it's pretty much very static only (TiddlyWiki sites don't work correctly).
T_T
What's happening to archive.org? Is it the end of an era? Or, a sign that someone should put up an archive of Web Archive somewhere? #Archives #Archiving #WebArchive #WebHistory #Records #History #Internet

I think it only appears that way because of the massive influx of newbies who are trying to control an (open) web standard; not because it's 16 years already. ^_^

@lil5@fosstodon.org
It's not "Firefox-only" per se, it's CSS. Firefox is fast when it comes to implementing updates that benefits multilingual and Asian support, and Chromium is either slow, implements a small part only, or just ignores it completely.
(aside: Another good example is Ruby
annotation. Firefox's implementation of Ruby is up-to-date while Chromium's stuck in 2010.
And this is very very annoying, you have to design for Chromium when it comes to Ruby annotations; or use JavaScript to serve different Ruby codes per browser. Chromium is practically the "modern IE6".)
It's the same with :lang()
.
In Chromium, you still have to do it like this:
:lang(en-GB), :lang(en-US), :lang(en-AU), :lang(en-NZ), :lang(en-PH) { }
In Firefox you can do it this way:
:lang(en-GB, en-US, en-AU, en-NZ, en-PH) { }
or
:lang("en-GB", "en-US", "en-AU", "en-NZ", "en-PH") { }
Another example, in Chromium:
:lang(ceb-Tglg), :lang(pam-Tglg), :lang(fil-Tglg) { }
:lang(ceb-Hano), :lang(pam-Hano), :lang(fil-Hano) { }
In Firefox:
:lang(\*-Tglg) { }
:lang(\*-Hano) { }
or
:lang("*-Tglg) { }
:lang("*-Hano) { }
^_~
Yet another reason why you should use #Firefox You can use: #BestViewedInFirefox * `:lang(\*-Hang)` * `:lang("*-Latn)` * `:lang("zh", "ja", ko")` * `:lang(PT, DE, HE)` If you care about multilingual and multi-script support. #language #lang #HTML #CSS #WebDev #BrowserWars

@abff08f4813c@j4vcdedmiokf56h3ho4t62mlku.srv.us Yep! That's correct! The father of the Fediverse was Evan Prodromou. He sent the first message in 2008. Later, #identiverse was coined before it eventually became known as the #Fediverse.

@Rentlar@lemmy.ca Ahh, yeah, on Lemmy it is the reversed, you get far too much content from the highly active groups, drowing everything else.
On the microblogging side, that's the thing, the "Local" / "For You" feed was just meant to see what's going on. On platforms without an algorithm, it shows everything. But on platforms like Threads, it controls it (but still, if there is barely any data the algorithm can work on, it's as good as not having any algorithm). So in the end, it goes back to being an end-user effort (or issue) why they see what they don't want to see, and don't find what they want to consume.
For platforms with an algorithm, they have to help the algorithm by providing it data. They need to like, follow, comment, on content they like to see more, instead of randomly interacting. If they don't change their method, the data will be built upon their random liking/commenting, and then complain about it.
For platforms without an algorithm, if they kept on following accounts that talks about tech, of course most of what they'll see are tech. Hence the complaints about "the Fediverse is for developers only" or "the Fediverse is all about politics".
Some claim the Fediverse lack moderation tools, yet, people complain about the same things over in The ATmosphere network. How they kept seeing politics or tech mumbo jumbo.
So, at the end of the day, it's an end-user effort/issue. The platform developers can only provide so much assistance and tools, but if the end-user doesn't grow their "observable network" properly, then it won't work for them regardless which platform they use.
The "Local"/"For You" feed is just for finding new content, for expanding our network. And yes, if some groups or topics are filling this feed, the server admins should have tools to throttle certain groups or topics, so as not to defeat it's purpose as a discovery tool. Otherwise, what you shared will indeed happen. (And I guess this is where an algorithm works best, like how it is in Threads (if there is enough data of course).)

@liaizon@wake.st Yep! I will. Thank you for collecting them!I together! We need it.
(P.s. I suddenly recalled there was an idea about creating mascots. And reminded me of my private list of emojis for each software, LOL.)
youronlyone 1mo ago • 100%
@Rentlar@lemmy.ca Do you have an example?
Many argued during Twitter Migration 2.0 that algorithms are important in content discovery. However, in #Threads where there is an algorithm, people still complain how they are seeing things they don't want to see, and not discovering content that they like, and Threads also have a "Not interested" feature on top of the algorithm.
There are also people complaining about the exact same thing about The #ATmosphere network even though they were provided with a lot of moderation and discovery features than most other SNS.
If people are complaining for the same reasons in any of these networks and platforms, is it not because the user is growing their network incorrectly and/or randomly, or lack of it? Because algorithm or not, moderation and discovery tools or not, it's the same complaints.
The #Fediverse iconography by @liaizon@wake.st <https://fediverse.wake.st> #ActivityPub #icons
Seriously, stop blaming the network/platform/software/protocol if you are not seeing the content you want to see, or seeing content you don't want to see. Every #SNS, or #SocialMedia network, is based on (1) who you follow; and (2) who you and the people you follow interact with. In other words, what you see and don't see was based on your how you're growing your own network. That is your personal "observable network". It gets worse in platforms with algorithms because they push far more similar content you wouldn't normally see if you don't have any connection path to those (again, who the people you're following are interacting with). In platforms without an algorithm, like most #Fediverse software, the closest you can get to something similar is your "Instance timeline/feed" and "Fediverse timeline/feed", which are generally 'hidden' behind another tab/section. Not like in, for example, #Threads, "For You" is the default. ("For You" is currently like the "Instance timeline/feed" but with algorithms.) If you're seeing too much tech mumbo jumbo, you're probably following a couple of tech accounts. Or, maybe, you're just following one techie account but they're far too active in this type of content. You want to see more art content, you have to find and follow them. Use hashtags and see who else are using it and follow those accounts you like. Or, if you like things being fed to you through an algorithm, you have to keep feeding that algorithm with keywords so it will learn what you want (again, like in Threads). What you see and don't see is based on how you're growing your network. It's no different from your offline life, you see and hear only the things people that surrounds you are sharing. It is not the fault of the software/platform/protocol/instance/algorithm (or lack thereof). It's all about #YOU, you are center of your "observable network". Just like how planet Earth is the center of its own "observable universe".
Done with my rounds. Went through 20 pages of accounts, so that's 800 accounts manually checked this evening. ^_~ #moderation #Fediverse #DontMe

Like it or not, #Mastodon successfully did an #EEE of the #Fediverse as far as API is concerned. Non-Mastodon software with Mastodon API implemented can be connected to third-party services like brid.gy and fedica.com, to mention a few. It is rare to see third-party services implement any support for non-Mastodon software using their respective API. #Fedica recently added #Pixelfed support; and a few other alt #frontends support either #Misskey or #Pleroma. So… yeah, there's no doubt the “competition” is over as far as this particular usage is concerned. Mastodon won, got what it wants. Either implement it and allow your users to use other third-party software… or don't and wait for other developers to support your platform. Not good, but we have to face the reality sooner rather than later, so we can move forward. Maybe make it part of #ActivityPub 2.0 and finally have a universal fediverse API that all can agree with and use. --- This rant/reaction stemmed from this thread: <https://makai.chaotic.ninja/notes/9xs35rslyb> || <https://c.im/@youronlyone/113082194085637021>

Good thing you mentioned it, I'll pay attention to that once I get the latest beta update from our region.
Businesses with Brazilian customers, when are you going to open an account in the #Fediverse (a.k.a. #Mastodon #Threads #Pixelfed etc.) and #ATmosphere (a.k.a. Bluesky) ? Or, are you sticking to #Twitter ? Why? Don't get left behind! Embrace the future!

@BeAware@social.beaware.live At first, it's expected. However, we have to try. If it won't fly, then it means, at least as far as the “Decentralized, Distributed, Federated, Open, Network” ( #DDFON ) space is concerned, they don't care if the “migrants” redefine things.
It happened before… #Web3 was, and still is, about the #OpenSocialWeb but it was hijacked by #cryptocurrency people. And to solidify their control over what “Web3” means, these same people campaigned that OpenSocialWeb is actually Web3.0 (with the point-0 included). And voila, we lost control over “Web3”.
It's happening again, with the term “Fediverse” this time. Ironically, some who were being lumped under the “Fediverse” terminology are resisting (like #NOSTR and #ATproto, they prefer to use #NOSTRich and #ATmosphere respectively).
But, again, like I said introducing a new term has its positives, like in the example I mentioned re: “Baybayin” vs “Surat”/“Suyat”. The latter became the commonly accepted umbrella term instead of the former.
It's all about the community. Remember, just a few years ago, the discussion about replacing the term “fediverse” were so common. Yet, when people suggested replacements, no one supported any. It was all complaints, and those who took steps eventually gave up.
Maybe I will give up one day. Or, maybe not.
LOL. “DDFON”, I've been using that since, I think 2012/2013? And it was only a year or two ago that someone said they like it better than all the other “proposals”. :p
youronlyone 2mo ago • 100%
@BeAware@social.beaware.live It does… but sometimes we have to, especially in this case when there are some attempts to redefine the word “fediverse” adding even more confusion to it.
We either have to create a new term and arrange everything in order, or let things be more confusing for the newbies (and media for that matter).
It's similar to the native writing script of the Philippines called “Baybayin”. Because of a certain group of people successfully redefined the meaning of “Baybayin”, it became very confusing as an umbrella label, and even became political.
The solution to appease both sides was to create another umbrella label, which was agreed upon by all parties as “Suyat”. And finally, the endless word war quieted. ^^
It's not exactly there to become common, rather, to give some order to things and keep it simple. We've tried explaining by using “email” and the “universe, galaxies”, but people still don't understand. Add to that, those who want to redefine the “fediverse” adding to the confusion. ^_^

> The ability to opt-out of quote posts is also currently planned, which makes it that Mastodon’s implementation will not be compatible with other fediverse implementations of quote posting.
Not surprising. Even before ActivityPub was announced, when the #fediverse was still powered by #OStatus, Mastodon was already breaking compatibility. There were countless of heated debates about almost every Mastodon-only "feature" they implemented that all other Fediverse devs were _forced_ to implement.
And here we are with yet another.
I wonder what will supporters of opt-out or anti-quotepost camp will do if the other Fediverse devs ignore this Mastodon-only "feature", and just continue with the common implementation of quote posts? Are we going to see a new reason for "fediblock", and finally fragment the Fediverse network?

@trashgirlfriend I remembered, #Walkr, a space gamification fitness app, have an option to "boost" steps when you're about to go on a long walk/run/jumping rope session. You can use it once every 24 hours only (and only lasts for 2 hours IIRC).
I think, now that you suggested it, that was maybe their solution to keeping the sensitivity fixed for their game, but giving users a chance to earn more if they're about to engage in a long session.
🤔

@trashgirlfriend Ooh. I like that! It could be a widget too for easy access.
youronlyone 8mo ago • 100%
@hornedfiend @schamppu I think the game is set to medium sensitivity, or Low. There are some fitness apps with a sensitivity setting, and if you place it high, it is more accurate. The problem arises if you're just moving your phone, since it's high sensitivity, it counts those as steps. So, most apps have it at medium or Low. That's my guess at least.
