#ladybirdbrowser is looking super promising, I can't wait for the next update! https://youtu.be/xuf1mcYuCaI?si=kyfqR7J9Lcxfo9Z3

GM 🌞 How are we all today, and what are we excited for in the future?

It turns out #FocusForMastodon is available on #FDroid 🐘

When it comes to #Dentralised social media, #ActivityPub (and #Mastodon by extension ) offers a good middle ground. Other #protocols either are too technical for normal people or they rely on a company for funding ( e.g #Bluesky )

22 years later and #Skype is finally shutting down 😥 https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cn7vxlrvxyeo

Wow, it's nearly the end of #Feburary. Where did all the time go! ⌚

Wait, what? By using #Firefox, I now grant Mozilla "a nonexclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to use" any data I "upload or input"? That seems, uhm, rather broad. Wtf. I want my old Mozilla back. https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/about/legal/terms/firefox/

#Nextcloud Files are now E2EE (opt-in) https://nextcloud.com/blog/nextcloud-hub10/ #FOSS #cybersecurity

I would have never thought that the #youtube red colour could cause screen burn in! https://www.androidauthority.com/youtube-new-red-color-3526528

What is the most logical way to do commit messages? I currently just use add/remove/change + the thing I did but I feel there is a better way! #OpenSource #Developers #Devs #Github

what podcasts should I download on Spotify for travelling?? (tech related pls!) already got wcfrm and the ltt one

I don't think the QP are the most important thing in this instance, I believe the ActivityPub-extensions are as they can extend the functionality of all #fediverse platforms! https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2025/02/bringing-quote-posts-to-mastodon/

Can #atproto scale down? https://bsky.bad-example.com/can-atproto-scale-down/ (Yes, it can.)

I might actually do this for fun 😀 https://itsfoss.com/windows-raspberry-pi/

#Tumblr to join the #fediverse after #WordPress migration completes https://techcrunch.com/2025/02/11/tumblr-to-join-the-fediverse-after-wordpress-migration-completes/

I love using #twidere as an #mastodon client despite the fact it is no longer maintained

I'm going to see if there is a way to setup a crossposter via #Cloudflare workers as for some reason some of my posts are being excluded from #Skymoth

#Google has gone and done it, #TheGulfOfMexico is now #TheGulfOfAmerica worldwide 🌎 https://www.androidpolice.com/google-maps-renames-gulf-of-mexico-for-those-in-the-us-and/

#Banks in the #UK are not having a great time right now 📉 https://www.independent.co.uk/tech/hsbc-down-not-working-latest-b2696277.html

In the year #2025, we had people like #KanyeWest selling #swastika t-shirts :blobcatfacepalm: https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/ye-website-selling-swastika-shirts-ecommerce-platform-says-site-violat-rcna191651

The #Captcha you complete when signing up to a service is also always #tracking you, but this data isn't just used for checking if your a bot! […]

I could never imagine anyone having this many #Pebble watches ⌚ OP: https://x.com/ericmigi/status/1889157472130412594?t=RtbAIW74j-mFS8z0J0n7-g&s=19

Just updated my profile picture to be the same as my #Bluesky one, idk why I didn't do that in the first place tbh 😔

The bank of #Google is likely growing even more with this change 😭 https://www.androidauthority.com/google-play-store-subscriptions-ui-live-3524838/?utm_source=flipboard&utm_medium=activitypub

#GDPR can have it's disadvantages when it comes to data retention :blobfoxcomputer: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c5yv4j8rzzzo?utm_source=flipboard&utm_medium=activitypub

As I already have an #Bluesky profile so instead of using #BridgyFed I'm going to be using #Skymoth to cross post from here to the skies

I am really tempted to buy my own domain right now 🌐

We don't have long now until we hear if the #USA #TikTokBan will be paused https://www.theverge.com/24340585/tiktok-ban-supreme-court-oral-arguments?utm_source=flipboard&utm_medium=activitypub

Just deleted my #Facebook account as I never used it anyways 😭

I kinda hope one of these #X (#Twitter) clones win at some point because I am getting pretty tired of managing my accounts on all of them

#Google searches for deleting #Facebook, #Instagram explode after #Meta ends fact-checking via @TechCrunch https://techcrunch.com/2025/01/09/google-searches-for-deleting-facebook-instagram-explode-after-meta-ends-fact-checking/

It's not okay to force other instance admins to block everything you also block (as admin or user) The point of the Fediverse is to have a lot of different instances with each their own guidelines Ofc we need to be on the same line but that doesn't mean everything has to be 1-to-1 Personally […]

The only way to convince me that smart rings are a good idea is if it has a mini digital clock on it
