Just another solution in search of a problem.

Mitchell Hashimoto (@mitchellh) is moving away from #GitHub, and he's taking the #ghostty project and community with him. Here's his reluctant and heartfelt goodbye note: https://mitchellh.com/writing/ghostty-leaving-github

Somehow, this exodus was inevitable once #Microsoft bought them. As the #Primeagen puts it, they've entered the 4th stage of #EEE - #Enshittification. At this rate, we will all be writing eulogies to GH soon, as the #SiliconValley giants forget that a product's value is not just in its profits.

@dougmerritt

It is pretty clear what is happening.

That Canonical and Microsoft are in bed together.

The AI attack on Github.

And Ubuntu is based upon Debian.

TIL: Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) in the newest firmware (8.2x) of my FritzBox is probably garbage. When set to “automatic” (which is the only setting aside of “off”), the network is super unstable between devices on the LAN/WAN and any other device. In both the LAN and the internet.

Clear suggestion: if you have connectivity issues after the update, disable EEE in your FritzBox’s […]

Throughout my career in the tech industry, I have witnessed companies fumbling the EEE strategy again and again, so I thought I'd explain how it actually works. Contrary to common believe, it does not stand for 'Embrace, Extend, Extinguish', but simply for the sound the wyvern, that you put in the office for emotional support, makes.

The user style I use here on #Mastodon:

}
}

@orbitalmartian yes you can and its the recommended way. You define your colors as variables in :root, then just change the variable values inside the media
```/* 1. Default colors */
:root {
--text-color: #222;
--bg-color: #fff;
}

/* 2. Override for dark mode */
@media (prefers-color-scheme: dark) {
:root {
--text-color: #eee;
--bg-color: #121212;
}
}

/* 3. Use them everywhere! */
body {
color: var(--text-color);
background-color: var(--bg-color);
}```

@Meyerweb This would also allow you to have a list of excludes (for example, you want to exclude the shadow from the list).

And in that case, you'd end up having something like:

```
$back-c: gainsboro;
$text-main-c: #222;
$shadow-c: rgba(0, 0, 0, .2);

$back-c-dark: #222;
$text-main-c-dark: #eee;
```

Then in the code, I would use a Sass function that generates a `color-mix()` (for better support) or `light-dark()` from the desired base variable name and a custom property indicating the theme.

Good article on safety of DEET (N,N-diethyl-meta-toluamide). Many people assume it causes cancer but it doesn't. Just don't drink it. #repellent #deet #mosquitoes #WestNile #EEE https://www.nytimes.com/2024/08/27/well/deet-bug-spray.html?unlocked_article_code=1.IE4.f_ty.Kz-MyczZy6Dk&smid=url-share

Deadly mosquito virus has Mass. towns urging people to stay in at night

A rare but deadly #disease spread by #mosquitoes has nearly a dozen Massachusetts communities on alert,
prompting some towns to close parks after dusk, restrict outdoor activities and reschedule public events.

Massachusetts health officials this month confirmed the state’s first human case of the #eastern #equine #encephalitis virus this year
— a man in his 80s exposed in Worcester County, west of Boston.

Ten communities are now designated at high or critical risk for the virus, health officials said Saturday.

#Plymouth, about 40 miles south of Boston, closed all public parks and fields from dusk until dawn, when mosquitoes are most active.

Nearby, #Oxford banned all outdoor activities on town property after 6 p.m.

“We have not seen an outbreak of #EEE for four years in Massachusetts,” Robbie Goldstein, the state’s department of public health commissioner, said in a statement.

“We need to use all our available tools to reduce risk and protect our communities. We are asking everyone to do their part.”

Good thing it's open source and forkable if need be. That's for the greater good if need be down the road the way it's configured.

The ecosystem around #ActivityPub is growing at a nice pace also and there are a plethora of options platform wise popping up to give nice alternatives to the major poorly run and poorly moderated #OligarchRun #FreeWebHosting options.

Thank the #OpenSource community for offering these self hosted and pre configured platform options growing at a nice pace to keep up with options for hosting and offering hosting options located in data centers away from the #EEE parts with a nice check and monitoring solution on the bad hosts at certain places caught trying to run their same b.s. as they do on the #OligarchPlatforms 🔍👀

I'm seeing an awful lot of Threads sourced nuggets espousing the virtues of, along with optimism surrounding, the #Fediverse lately.

This seems a bit sus to me, like a concerted outreach effort on the part of Meta/Faceplant and a few other largish, commercial actors to popularize their ulterior motives of domination by... Ahem, normalizing the concepts of #DeSoc and more specifically, the ActivityPub powered spaces in the Fediverse.

I actually dunno who MDBHD or John Oliver are, but I'm certain that they're no Oprah, although it would be nice if she would weigh in on the critical mass achieved to date in the adoption of Fediverse technologies that are #FOSS based, and #Privacy respecting.

To date, *Privacy has been of primary consideration and motivation in the development community surrounding the #ActivityPub powered platforms in the Fediverse, but the questionable players entering from the horizontally scaling decentralized social networking industry have, as of late, been overwhelmingly of the deprecated, privacy disrespecting, monolithic silo persuasion. These monolithic-ally inclined companies hailing from vertically thinking companies are an expected, yet suspect group of *privacy mining experts, sophomorically (sic) wading into the deep end of a demographic consisting mostly of privacy minded* individuals and notable developers of the FOSS based portions of the software world.

<tangent> These industrial surveillance engines are already back on their heels as they venture into what many warn as an #EEE incursion - but truth be told, already too late to the game to subjugate, assimilate us: #Diaspora #ZOT #nostr #Nomad #Matrix #TOR #Yggdrasil #I2P #IPFS / #IPNS and others, including blockchain based so-called #Web3 solutions with baked in privacy considerations at the protocol layer are being *Bridged to interoperate with each other and ActivityPub in the Fediverse at rates which the purveyors of industrial surveillance machinery must invariably only describe as "alarming rates" - that's good news for the average schmoes of the world like you and I. </tangent>

So why are we, just in the past few weeks, seeing so much attention given to the Fediverse by these #juggernauts, perhaps #dreadnoughts, that for so long have exhibited such great restraint and avoidance of the mere utterance of Fediverse, ActivityPub, or even alluding to the notions of Decentralization? There's certainly a particular spin in their delivery, leveraging third parties that obfuscate their participation in the dissemination of their, Great News.

Speaking of Dreadnoughts, just how was it that the great Bismarck was taken out? Remember? The outgunned and outmatched Royal Navy took out her port rudder! ⛵ 💥

It was the end of an era. A rudder post. The Bismarck was doomed to circle her watery grave.

But I digress...

Make no mistake, obscuring the lines between the privacy respecting FOSS based camps that have historically steered the direction of DeSoc has taken, and the deprecated, proprietary silo companies which have based their entire existence upon advertising and industrial surveillance models that I refer to as The Sunnyvale Syndrome family of data mining engines, is now seeping through the cracks of a clear delineation between these two prinicples - that of uncompromising privacy and open source development and that of proprietary, closed source subjugation methodologies leveraging **YOU as the product in inventory*.

Feel free to boost and share your comments at length here. A million people other than myself are here in the Fediverse and are really interested in just what kind of impact the introduction of these traditionally privacy raiding Industrialists will have upon their... scratch that, our future online safety.

tl;dr: Your very private, personal medical history and data (and that of your minor children, in violation of FERPA regulations) is being wholesaled and auctioned off by the so-called "Big-Tech" entrants and hopefuls that are at this very time knocking on the front door of the ActivityPub portions of Fediverse... Tread lightly, and consider how your every move going forward affects the unwitting consent to farm and sell your most confidential personal information.

it is up to you - it is your choice to affirm or deny - whether industrial surveillance is your birthright to embrace or your nemesis to destroy... You, We, have that power to decide.

I feel like I‘m losing it today. Lots of threads about #threads and its total division. Very few are actually saying „its probably going to suck, lets see what my instance does“.

Instead it is those fully against #federation who say #meta is the devil and threads will #eee the #fediverse.

Or those who fully #shill and #astroturf for meta and for some reason all use the term #waitandsee which feels coordinated to me.

Am I going off the deep end here or are folks being paid to sow #division ?

My general opinion of #threads #federating

Any instance should choose whether or not to federate with threads

They should pay the hosting costs of any server they pull data from

not run ads against the content that comes from other instances

Any changes to the AP protocol needs to be pushed upstream. If upstream is not interested in the change, they need to respect that and stay in spec. We do not need another #Jabber #xmpp vs google thing going on

#meta #federation #activitypub #EEE

Yes, I use strong #encryption.

Why, no, I don't have anything to #hide.

I also #mail my #correspondence in #opaque #envelopes, rather than on the backs of #postcards.

No, I don't have anything to hide there, either.

#Normalize encryption.

There is no such thing as "#lawful #access". Encryption is #math. There is no math that the "good guys" can do but which cannot be done by the "bad guys".

Anyone who suggests different is #lying, to #spy on you.

#Fight them.

@PaulaToThePeople Let's not forget what #slack did to the #irc (there so many other cases). They were using open protocol and allowed bridging until enough people got on slack. Then they've just cut the bridge and the rest of the users were forced to jump over.A school case of #embrace #extend #extinguish tactics often adopted by big corpo when handling #libre projects. I don't think anything good comes out of federating with #meta unless #fediverse somehow outwits them.But why even bother? #eee

So, my take on this is that apparently #BigTech wants to kill #OpenStreetMap next

I understand @migurski enthusiasm about it, as he can count it as a personal victory in this initial phase of the #Embrace, but we have not forgotten the #XMPP bait and switch. #Extend, #Extinguish are next, and we would rather NOT see #OSM get the #EEE treatment.
