    #Vivaldi is my favorite Chromium browser. Some of the features, like the ability to strip tracking info from links, is really helpful. I think it has one of the nicest looking reader modes that I've come across. The ability to hide specific UI elements until the mouse is moved over them has really helped with screen real estate on my small laptop screen.

    But I wish it had a way to pin tabs across workspaces the way #ZenBrowser does.

    Or how in Gecko-based browsers, when you take a screen capture, it will highlight different items on the web page automatically, instead of dragging a box to capture specific parts of a page.

    If I could cobble together my ideal web browser from existing projects, I'd definitely take a lot from Vivaldi.

    Choosing which media to make your case on is a real clue to who you are organising, what message you will be promoting. It was a huge relief that #Carney chose Jon Stewart.

    As an indicator of intent, it's a nice pointer.

    Last nights acceptance speech not only citing Universal Healthcare as central to who Canada IS, but adding, NDP pushed, Dental Care and PharmaCare redoubles that assurance.

    Looking forward to such a partner in governing.

  4. Re #transferwindow, I do a regular interview with Jon Smith, who was once Diego Maradona’s agent, a real mover and shaker back in the day, on dinner terms with Wenger/Levy et al, and also one of the Co-creators of the #PremierLeague. The insights I get from him are knowledgeable and I for one, haven’t been surprised at all by how quiet it’s been. Jon predicted this in a chat a couple of months back. Hold tight for the summer though. The #saudiproleague are coming in a very big way. #MastodonFC

  5. @Stefan Bohacek @Jon Such safety improvements cannot and must not come from within Mastodon.

    For if they did, it would be non-standard, proprietary, undocumented, Mastodon-exclusive solutions that anything that isn't vanilla Mastodon or a soft fork would hardly be able to adopt themselves and oftentimes not willing either. Fediverse devs are turning away from allowing Mastodon to take control over the development of the Fediverse by introducing more and more non-standard, Mastodon-exclusive stuff.

    Even worse: If these were Mastodon-only solutions, they might lead to two possible outcomes. One, since the rest of the Fediverse won't support them, the rest of the Fediverse would easily be able to circumvent them. Routinely even. See "quote-toot opt-in". Remember that almost everything in the Fediverse that's an alternative to Twitter and/or Facebook has quote-posts readily available and can quote-post any Mastodon toot right now.

    Two, an unbridgeable rift through the Fediverse as Mastodon splits everything that isn't Mastodon itself off. This could be because Mastodon makes itself incompatible with everything else in the Fediverse by introducing new mandatory features that everything else doesn't support. Or it could be because new rules come with new features that demand the use of these features at instance level, and instances that don't use these features will be Fediblocked. Only that nothing that isn't vanilla Mastodon is even able to use these features.

    For these reasons, such safety advancements must never be Mastodon developments.

    Instead, they must come from the ActivityPub side. And there are things in development right now which, if actually implemented, will increase security in the Fediverse tremendously.

    Specifically, what I mean is what @Mike Macgirvin 🖥️ is working on right now, the guy who invented Friendica, nomadic identity and Hubzilla, and who has created and is maintaining [#^https://codeberg.org/streams/streams]the streams repository[/url] which contains the probably most advanced Fediverse server application of all.

    He wants to bring not only nomadic identity to native ActivityPub, but also (streams)' extensive, fine-grained, powerful system of permissions which would then be understood not only amongst (streams) and Hubzilla, but all across the Fediverse amongst those projects that implement them.

    Imagine being able to post only to the members of a specific list. Imagine these posts being unable to ever leave the list, save for copy-pasting or screenshots.

    Imagine being able to choose which ones of your connections shall be allowed to see your posts. Or send you posts. Or reply to your posts. Or send you DMs. Or see your followers and followeds.

    Imagine being able to define permission roles, pre-configured sets of permissions, and assign one of these to each one of your connections.

    Imagine being able to set your entire account to post only to your followers by default.

    Imagine being able to deny everyone the permission to reply to a certain post of yours. Imagine being able to only allow your connections to reply to a certain post of yours. Imagine being able to limit the timespan within which a post of yours can be replied to. Only if that post isn't a reply itself, but still.

    Imagine being able to wall up your account, but without walling it up against everyone by only walling it up against certain people.

    Sounds like utter science-fiction. But all this is available on (streams) right now.

    Granted, it does not provide absolute, 100% water-tight safety against everything. Like comparable with a shielding that wouldn't even let one neutrino through in ten billion years. But as much such perfect security is desired, as impossible it is. Not unless e.g. the Black community creates an exclusive, walled-garden safe space whose aspiring members must be validated by meeting an admin or moderator in real life, eye to eye, to prove that they're actually Black. Sorry, but everything else can and will be circumvented to attack and harass them.

    Also, yes, this permission system is not as easy-peasy to handle as the official Twitter mobile app. And it currently comes with a fairly cumbersome UI. That's because, as of now, it only works with (streams)' Nomad protocol and, within certain limitations, the Zot6 protocol used by Hubzilla which has a similar set of permission controls.

    I mean, I'd love to see a "Black (streams)" come into existence with a bunch of instances of its own and flourish. For one, (streams) has better chances to be a (fairly) safe haven than Mastodon. Besides, this would give (streams) the publicity it so much needs, especially if Black (streams) started thriving after Black Mastodon has failed so spectacularly.

    But let's face it, it's more cumbersome to use in comparison with Mastodon than Mastodon is in comparison with Twitter, also because (streams) is the descendant of a Facebook alternative rather than a Twitter clone. And if you're on a phone, it's either a PWA or a Web browser because there's no (streams) app.

    Good news, however: As far as I can see, Mike's goal is to implement all this in ActivityPub with FEPs so that any pure ActivityPub project can adopt it. Friendica can adopt it, fairly easily even because Friendica is (streams)' earliest predecessor. Misskey and its forks can adopt it, and these projects are chock-full of LGBTQIA+ people. Everything can adopt it.

    Unfortunately, implementing it in ActivityPub so it works nearly the same as on (streams) will be easier than pressuring Mastodon into implementing that stuff.

    Lastly, there's one feature of Hubzilla and (streams) that won't make it to ActivityPub because it can't. And that's the ability to turn ActivityPub support off altogether, both for users at channel level and for admins at instance level.

    One flick of a switch, and the entirety of Mastodon is blocked. All of it. As is Threads. As are the various Mastodon forks, Pleroma, Akkoma, Misskey, the various Misskey forks, Mitra, micro.blog, Socialhome, Pixelfed, the entire Threadiverse etc. etc., and if you're on (streams), even Friendica and GoToSocial.

    But if you are on ActivityPub, that wouldn't make any sense to be able to do.

  17. Democratic leaders are telling their party's biggest donors that keeping Montana's Senate seat blue is a real challenge.
    However, they are planning to go on offense in Florida to retain their majority.

    Why it matters:
    Without Montana, the math for Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) to keep his job gets very difficult.

    But Democrats are signaling they want to expand the playing field and be in a position to steal Republican seats in states like #Florida.
    -- Yes, it's still red, but former President Trump isn't expected to win by double digits.

    They are also eyeing #Texas, where a recent poll has Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) up by three points against Rep. #Colin #Allred (D-Texas).

    Driving the news:

    Officials acknowledged Sen. #Jon #Tester (D-Mont.) is down in the polls, but party strategists still see a path for him to defy the odds and win, just like Sen. Susan Collins of Maine did on the Republican side in 2020.

    "It sounds like Gary Peters is thinking about abandoning Jon Tester," NRSC spokesperson Philip Letsou told Axios. "No matter what Democrats do, the NRSC will do whatever it takes to ensure Ted Cruz and Rick Scott defeat the radical liberals Chuck Schumer and his billionaire allies have propped up against them."

    The intrigue:
    Republicans held their donor retreat just up the coast in Sea Island, Georgia, where the National Republican Senatorial Committee explained why they are eyeing a 52-seat majority.

    At both events, there was a mixture of hope and fear.

    In addition to Montana, there were concerns about #Ohio, where Sen. #Sherrod #Brown (D-Ohio) faces a tough re-election in a state Trump could carry by eight or nine percentage points.

    The most optimistic pitch the Democratic donors received was from #Tennessee state Rep. #Gloria #Johnson, their party's nominee to defeat Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) in a race the Cook Political Report is rating a "solid R."

    What we're hearing:
    Democrats are contemplating a late blitz in the Florida Senate race, where Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla) has just a two-point lead over former Rep. #Debbie #Mucarsel-#Powell in the latest public poll.

    While air time hasn't been officially booked, Democratic sources tell us they expect the DSCC to make a splash in Florida in the coming weeks.

    From Labor Day to Election Day, Democrats have spent or reserved some $5.6 million in advertising in Florida, according to AdImpact.

    Over the same period, Republicans are at $4.4 million, but Scott's campaign likes to buy week to week, meaning they could pump more money into the race if they feel it's warranted.
