@hagi Thank you! One evening.

@tripplehelix I've already done both! Do you think it's not enough? I quite like it.

Painted my first miniature. Got this Space Marine and the paints in Brussels the other day.

@seso34 Does this happen on mastodon.social? Under which conditions?

🇩🇪#PiratenWirken: Die von uns #Piraten im #DMA erkämpfte #Interoperabilität des datenschutzfeindlichen #Whatsapp-Messengers rückt näher. In den nächsten Monaten werden wir zu besseren und offenen Messengerdiensten wie Matrix wechseln und unsere Whatsapp-Kontakte mit deren Einverständnis mithilfe des Signal-Protokolls weiter dienstübergreifend sicher Ende-zu-Ende-verschlüsselt erreichen können. Netzpolitik berichtet: https://netzpolitik.org/2024/interoperabilitaet-whatsapp-soll-bald-mit-anderen-messengern-reden-koennen/

Der Facebook-Messenger wird auch interoperabel, möglicherweise auch iMessage.
Anonyme Nutzung der teilnehmenden alternativen Messengerdienste bleibt übrigens möglich, und Daten erhält Whatsapp nur zu den dienstübergreifend verschickten Nachrichten.

Auch wenn Threema und Signal anfangs außen vor bleiben wollen, bin ich zuversichtlich, dass mit der Zeit immer mehr Messengerdienste mitmachen werden, denn Interoperabilität ist die Zukunft und bringt echten Wettbewerb und echte Wahlfreiheit!

@jamesbritt @rdnielsen They used to be buried on the explore page under the people tab (before that, under "for you" tab), and the home feed would instead have a banner at the top saying "This is your home base in Mastodon" with a link to trending posts and follow recommendations, if your feed was determined to be updating too slow.

@jamesbritt @rdnielsen Please elaborate. Mastodon has always had follow recommendations. As far as I'm aware the home feed is still "non-algorithmic" in colloquial terms (of course, reverse-chronological listing of posts from people you follow is also an algorithm).

@rdnielsen Yes, it appears above the first post that's more than 4 hours old if there is one on initial page load. It's a mix of different algorithms, like people who you follow, follow, or profiles similar to the ones you followed most recently, and some other ones.

Kudos to @BleepingComputer for doing actual journalism.

Fortinet also declined to comment to me.

It's a completely made up story, which is now being circulated as Russian propaganda.

@mathewi You'll be able to have Threads users in your Mastodon feed and interact with them naturally soon, you can already follow some of them, that's the idea behind the protocol this platform is built on.

Here’s a silly goblin creature for #WhiskersWednesday. #CatsOfMastodon

@Jonathanglick If I'm reading it right, it sounds like iframes embedded through OEmbed? That's how Mastodon shows YouTube/SoundCloud/Bandcamp players in posts.

Bought this blend on @Noshir’s recommendation 🙂

@figbash @mdmrn Without a word next to it, it's just a hash.

@mikeloukides It could mean you landed on follow recommendations for new users if you’re opted in to the right things.

@0xjessel @dwr@threads.net Isn’t this more or less a reinvention of OEmbed? That’s how all the click to play previews work in Mastodon.

Thank you to everyone who came by to say hi, share feedback, and buy our merch at #FOSDEM, it was awesome. Feel free to tag me in the selfies we took together if you haven't already, and use the hashtag #merchtodon if you want to show our merch to the world.

I saw at least 3 #blåhaj at #FOSDEM so far which is delightful.

@ninavizz @asbjorn We are making a plushie.

@amjiddader Do you use a unique password for each website?
