The article's UI's... certainly something.

But on money the citizen doesn't control, the Brazilian Workers' Party government's been trying to shoehorn its own take on it, DREX, since they got back in power of the Executive. Also the president's been quite on that for a while, but for some ~2 years, he'd insist on a global currency too. Wonder if the two were meant to cross at some point.

Glad I take notes, I guess. Could never remember so much stuff without.

Also wonder if I should count Crystal Castles twice, since the arcade and Atari 2026 feel pretty different from each other.

it's just the tip

Portugal's current government is pretty unstable in these past few years from what I check every now and then, so I wonder if they're trying to make it amid the confusion of political shift, "as the lights are turning off" as a local saying goes, so no one notices as dust settles.

For those that use WordPress, maybe people can (politely) poke the site owner to enable ActivityPub integration? Might help with traffic at least.

Iirc, isn't PieFed made from scratch though? If anything, both are inspired by Reddit, so saying it's a fork of Lemmy wouldn't be a form of "appropriation"? (is that the word?)

Dunno how it is over Australia, but in my country, finding information is hard if the problem it solves isn't on the nose of the population already. So if Australia's anything like that, your failed quest may not even be your fault to begin with.

Still, failure is just another form of confirmation, so even if you yourself went through it, sharing it as a cautionary tale is extremely helpful. 🙏

I've had a similar issue with / and some special keys. Numpad solved the / problem, using the system through SSH allows properly using your keyboard, and I'd imagine keybinds such as Gaomon's or AntimicroX's could be used too.

From experience (also because of work), for better or worse, I can confirm at least Whatsapp works on degoogled phones.

And if Whatsapp is part of critical infraestructures for you, and now looking at your username too, I have a guess as to where you're from. And if I'm right, for banking on degoogled phones, Mercado Pago was the only one I found that works from the ones I have accounts on. Just, they pester about Google Play services missing, and not sure if camera not working for Pix QR codes is a me problem, or an "intended feature".

What I do is to have an old phone just for banking and other stuff that requires Google's direct validation. Usually that solves the need of having Google Play services or MicroG installed on my phone, at most requiring Aurora Store, though that I barely used it in the past ~6 months.

Cutting freedom at the source, in development, though, is far more complex to deal with. I remember when I was in programming university I tried looking for means for making apps without Google, but they're rather manual, way too unpolished in comparison to what Google offers.

In short, game is unfinished and some placeholder arts are visibly quick doodles made by hand.

It is a limitation, but I wouldn't call necessarily an issue, though it is something that happens in any instances.

Not necessarily an issue because you can pull yet unfederated posts by searching for their links or by user interactions. And if everything got pulled at once, with how ActivityPub works, all instances involved would have potential days of downtime, as well as requiring terabytes of storage on the get-go.

And as a means to pull older posts, some softwares have hardcoded search links, like Lemmy itself (iirc), Mbin (the one I use), Mastodon, etc., meaning you can use some redirect script to send posts to your instance's search page. Also, if you're on an instance that allows following people (e.g. a Mastodon one), if the person you follow comments or boosts a previously unfederated post or comment, it should get imported into your instance.

And if you use userscripts through e.g. Violentmonkey, here's one for redirecting posts to your instance

https://web.archive.org/web/20260308222546/https://pastebin.com/BF2s9aXr

The userscript is sent through Pastebin because they allow guest posts, and through Internet Archive because I set my documents to expire.

And the script is originally made by an LLM but that I have manually checked for oddities, that the logic is simple enough that chances of the AI hallucinating were already pretty small when generated, that I have been manually expanding since, and that covers most patterns and instances I've come across.

Only change you'd need to do is replacing the The/Brain/Bin search links (https://thebrainbin.org/search?search[q]) for the pertinent ones for the posts you encounter, e.g. for Mastodon Social https://mastodon.social/search?q, and for the Lemmy instance Ani.Social https://ani.social/search?q.

Good moment for being a 90's kid as then "rizz" doesn't have any immediate meaning =D

If OP is going legit, torrenting is a pretty solid solition. And like the VPS and mailing suggestions, OP could torrent the files to a remote server, and from that server, upload to a 3rd party storage.

Had forgotten about split archives. 7z also helps, e.g. if one wants to split into 500 MB files recursively, the person can use in Linux 7z a -r -v500m /some/path/some_name.7z /path/with/all/files/, and in Windows iirc right click in the folder > 7-Zip > Add to archive... > configure as the user needs.

uploading from a phone if it stays on all the time
uploading one at a time
uploading in smaller batches
uploading from an internet café, a library or some other place if it has internet faster than yours
hire a VPS, use some transfer method with a more generous timeout tolerance to transfer the files uncompressed to the VPS, and from there leave the ebooks uploading with your preferred method
hire a faster service if possible

Fediverse is full of RSS 🤭

Jokes aside, still cleaning up my list of feeds, but usually I use RSS for places that otherwise would be miserable to navigate through the UI, like Twitter (with Nitter), Tumblr, Youtube, Steam announcements, etc. Only exception is Reddit, not because of bones to pick with how the site is run, but because its UI is so bad I literally have trouble reading anything.

Also, though mentioned above as a joke, RSS does help a lot with browseability on the fediverse, specially with redirecting scripts and post hiding (native or otherwise). Also fediverse by itself can be a RSS reader with bots from Friendica, RSS Parrot, etc.

If the person passes out, chances are there wasn't time to do it. Personally, I second hendrik's suggestion of setting up 2FA, like his given example, biometric+pin.

To my understanding, engaging helps engagement. So if I see a post and I can think of something useful to say, I make sure I do. Though slow at first, I have the impression it helps. Plus the more you interact, the more instances see the involved users, posts, groups and instances.

Also, Mbin (the software my instance uses) and Friendica both support the equivalent of X/Twitter's retweets and Mastodon's boosting for both posts and comments (even if the OP's instance doesn't support it). So in my case, if I see something I like, also for the sake of engagement growth as I also notice microblogging folk are more engaged, I make sure to tap the boost button too. Maybe it'd help if more people did it?

I think I get it.

Personally, I like the idea.

And something that comes to mind, Mastodon, Lemmy and PieFed all have methods of account migration. Perhaps such Bytescape tool could integrate to those too?

And further on that, apparently Piefed doesn't import info that it doesn't federate with, e.g. Kbin.Social since iirc it can't be reached (correct me if I'm wrong pls). Also maybe that happens with Mastodon and Lemmy but haven't checked. But if I'm right on that, it would also apply to active but defederated instances. So maybe such potential integration could be used to preserve information that would otherwise be lost as it's not imported?
