    So I'm happy with that explanation and seems like you've put yourself in with half a chance to do such a small video and even prepped it now!
    Even this as audio with pics... even here native... I'd listen (not sure elsewhere if I'd click).

    So as side-note I'll be happy to help you produce such a thing and even invite you to send similar points by audio (your text above as script already pretty much lol) and I'll arrange it and send back to you complete!

    I'm not going to produce any videos. That'd be way too much of an effort, especially meeting Mastodon's accessibility standards plus my own standards.

    If this sounds weird, allow me to elaborate.

    This is not a general-purpose personal channel. This channel is mainly about 3-D virtual worlds. I sometimes post pictures from these virtual worlds. But whenever I do that, I add an image description that's amongst the longest and most extensive anywhere in the Fediverse. I have to put the image description into the post text itself for several reasons, one reason being that they're too long for alt-text. Not only does Mastodon only support alt-text up to 1,500 characters internally, it also cuts off any alt-text from outside that's longer. And mine are longer.

    I think I have very good reasons for writing such long image descriptions.

    I've actually thought about making in-world videos one day and uploading them to PeerTube. I've decided against it. Accessibility would make it too much of an effort, and it'd make the videos essentially unwatchable. I'd include an audio description that describes the visuals in the videos on at least the same level of detail as my image descriptions.

    So with an audio description added, the video would have to pause every few seconds for several minutes to give me some time to describe what's on-screen at that point, or what has just appeared on-screen, and explain it if necessary. If I didn't stop the video, the audio would not have a chance to catch up with the ever-changing visuals.

    Imagine this:
    • Two and a half seconds of actually moving pictures.
    • Voiceover describes the camera movement.
    • A building comes into view.
    • Video stops.
    • Voiceover describes the building and explains what needs to be explained to someone who doesn't know anything about anything in the video.
    • Ten minutes later, the video starts moving again.

    The audio description would inflate a ten-minute video to something between six and ten hours.

    Okay, now, a video about the Fediverse would not be a video about a virtual world that nobody knows. But still, I expect there to be blind or visually-impaired users who come across such a video, play it and wonder, "What is being shown on the screen? What does this video and all that stuff in it look like?"

    I mean, the visuals wouldn't carry any additional information. They'd be purely illustrational. They wouldn't contribute any content to the explanation, only enhance it. Content-wise, the explanation would work all the same with and without these visuals.

    But not describing them feels kind of ableist, kind of like not letting non-sighted people experience the video in the exact same way as sighted people. And I always expect there to be non-sighted people who want to have all visuals in a video described in audio.

    So I might spend weeks making one 10-minute video which would then be inflated to 30 minutes or an hour by the audio description.

  5. "Twitterrific was our flagship app, and by far earned the most of any of our pieces of software we’ve produced. Its loss is still being felt revenue-wise to this day. We're hopeful that Tapestry will help us regain some of that ground and help us keep our company healthy, doing the things we love to do — developing great, friendly and useful apps for iOS and macOS."

    The linked article though is quite interesting in what it reveals from all of this. When you consider both Twitter and Reddit did this to their users and 3rd party devs, there is a trend towards these more private centralised social networks to have restrictions in the way of 3rd party access. Whilst on the decentralised social networks the trend tends to be using an open protocol, and usually also supporting open RSS feeds.

    So, Tapestry is tapping into this more open ecosystem: "This isn't really a social media client directly in the mold of Twitterrific; instead, it's a single place to view online stuff that matters, and it mostly uses open standards like ActivityPub and RSS. Luckily for them, they've already reached their $100,000 minimum funding goal."

    Its intention is not to replace any existing clients, although with all the decentralised social networks I've been involved with, their devs all openly encourage having different 3rd party client apps.

    But it's what is not directly stated in the linked article that concerns me the most, and I've heard others also echoing this sentiment, especially some journalists who have "jumped ship" from Twitter to Mastodon and other networks. The issue is around quality content creation, especially news. It's not that there is no such news on the decentralised social networks, it's that there are still too many mainstream news services, journalists, and governments stuck fast on Twitter, Reddit, etc. So many users are also just stuck in their bubble in the same places.

    We do really need to see that final seismic shift across to embracing an open and decentralised social network ecosystem. Certainly, the Fediverse, built on the ActivityPub protocol, is not the only option out there, but it is an open standard endorsed social network and has gained a lot of content and user traction.

    The way I understand Tapestry, is that it would not only help provide an integrated (single) view of the Fediverse (yes most existing ActivityPub apps can also do that), but it can also seamlessly include discovering and following content from Bluesky, and  many others, including potentially even Nostr (via RSS feeds).

    So, Tapestry may help provide some cohesion and single view that many users and content creators, who are still stuck on Twitter, Reddit, etc, seem to crave/demand. Many such users are actually caught up in indecision over "where must I pick to move to". With something like Tapestry, that fear may disappear, and for creators such as news and governments they would be more easily "found and followed" through one single app like Tapestry.

    Will it happen? I think so as the vast majority of users are often solely content consumers, and whilst it is true that to develop a high-quality app from the ground up takes cash, Iconfactory does have that experience and they have raised over US$100,000 to fund their app development.

    Who knows, I'd expect this app to even go further, and start to support likes and comments for some of the networks it integrates with over time.

    Iconfactory made delightful Twitter clients for Mac and iOS for over a decade, but they've had to pivot to something much bigger since a certain billionaire got in the way.

  11. @TinodiGacco temo che tu non abbia letto il thread di Stefania Maurizi. Te lo riporto qui sotto:

    Quando ho lavorato ai file di #Snowden con #GlennGreenwald una fonte mi raccontò che un'azienda aveva proposto al governo italiano di manipolare il dibattito pubblico su #Snowden sui social,per fare un'operazione di influenza in modo da minare il sostegno pubblico a #Snowden.

    Ogni mio tentativo di scoprire di più su chi fosse l'azienda che aveva proposto al governo italiano di fare operazioni di influenza e disinformazione per minare il supporto dell'opinione pubblica italiana a #Snowden, fallì: non sono mai riuscita a scoprire di più.

    Oggi mi chiedo che tipo di operazioni di influenza vengono fatte per manipolare il dibattito su #greenpass,#vaccini, #cloudNazionale.
    Spingere l'opinione pubblica a rincorrere allarmi falsi ha 2 scopi:
    1) tenere pubblico lontano da allarmi veri
    2) screditare dibattito serio

    il #greenpass è strumento che pone gravi problemi,se però influenzi dibattito pubblico con matti che credono agli alieni di Roswell e ciarpame simili,ottieni che:
    1. i matti inseguono complotti inesistenti
    2. i non matti vengono discreditati e assimilati ai matti

  12. Homeward bound from #Juliacon2023. At the Melbourne airport. Mind blowing meeting at #Julia conference. Scientific computation at its best.

  13. I should give Mate another look on Devuan, especially on #corebootbook laptops. I was looking for a slightly lighter weight DE for laptops with limited resources. Cinnamon works okay (using it right now on an Acer corebookbook). XFCE had a show stopping bug when I tried it on a physical laptop, which I wrote about before.

    I should try Mate on the same hardware and see how I like it.

    One of my sons used Mate for years and liked it.

    Thanks for the reply 😃
