while exploring #kutaisi after coffee today @lake and I found some cows living under this very #solarpunk soviet era apartment block

wow the peertube instance I had an account on and had used a bunch over the last few years is seemingly gone without any notice. it was at betamax.video and was managed by @debugninja@banana.dog (also an instance thats gone now?) did they ragequit or something?

the importance of picking a server whos admin you trust is really an underrated aspect of the fediverse we need to work on... I mostly chose it for the cool domain name and the custom theme...

@crashglasshouses all the alternatives are missing a lot of info. There are a few different providers of OSM data that can be used but none that do a good job of replacing all the shit thats on google maps

@coloco I am also doing it like this and its very time consuming, I want to make this situation better for everyone

@coloco I have been thinking about this a lot lately and want to push for making some progress in this front. I think its something that the fediverse could do alot to improve.

@coloco @apps @Gargron this is not a good enough solution for me unless there was this same support on the web app and iOS as well

hey #fediverse people:
has anyone made a fedi bot that lets you follow the posts from another fediverse user but translated into the language of your choice?

lets say @moss@grassy.feild only posts in german but I dont speak any german so instead of following them I dm @TranslationBot "follow @moss@grassy.feild in english" and then @TranslationBot makes a private repost account that replies to their public posts with the translation in english and tags me in it.

@Gargron I would love a client that has good customizable translation built in. I have not yet seen this done well but I would love too. I keep following people that post in languages I can't read and I would like to have some solution other then translating each post manually.

came across https://webxdc.org by @delta in the Redecentralize Digest, I could see this implemented in a fediverse context as well, I wonder if anyone has played with this type of thing here

an example to show it in action, notice the á near the end of the username

I recently discovered to my surprise that Co-Star allows unicode in their @usernames and this is the first network I have seen that has this support. I have been complaining about the fediverse lack of unicode support in usernames for a long time now and its interesting to see centralized projects get to this milestone first. Though its probably much easier to get this to work right in a centralized environment.

just scored a 3d printer off the side of the road!

I was interviewed on @thefinalstrawradio podcast this week about the #fediverse :fediverse: and autonomy and stuff... If you want to listen to me ramble and say um a lot for an hour give it a listen!

@gamer the problem with this analogy is that people sorta hate email

while listening to "the dawn of everything" they mentioned Poverty Point in Louisiana which I had never heard of. Turns out its a UNESCO world heritage site of an unknown civilization from almost 4000 years ago!

#Mastodon was just mentioned in Slate https://slate.com/technology/2021/10/donald-trump-true-social-launch-problems.html

"'the platform is basically just a fork of Mastodon, the open-access software that allows users to make spinoff social media networks. Mastodon founder Eugen Rochko has said that he will be seeking legal counsel"
