Review of "Norse Mythology" (4 stars): Entertaining, sometimes gruesome, sometimes funny and sometimes sad https://bookwyrm.social/user/KelsonReads/review/236479

I'm re-watching "Connections" - a 1978 BBC documentary series presented by James Burke.

One of the best interdisciplinary history, science, and technology shows ever produced.

It's a thrill to see again. 4:3 aspect ratio and all.

Mastodon – Simplified Federation by @rugk makes remote follows less cumbersome by automatically entering your Mastodon account details and puts that functionality where it should be: in your browser.

You can get it for Firefox from:

I've put together a survey about the Small Internet (#gopher, #gemini, individual webpages, small community sites) and I would love your input. If you are a small internet user, please spend a few minutes and fill in your thoughts. I'm especially interested in the open response questions. This will help inform an upcoming conference talk I'll be giving at https://mch2022.org

Also, please boost this on fedi as much as possible and feel free to re-share on other social networks and in other communities. The more responses the better.

I'm looking to talk to someone, ideally from an agency or small cooperative, who has switched to Nextcloud.

I'm interested in how people have things like Time Tracking and Deck configured for project/client work.

(please boost!)

If you have an independently hosted WordPress blog, you can turn it into a Fediverse server by installing the WordPress ActivityPub plugin. This means people can follow your blog from Mastodon etc.

Here's how to do it:

1. Go to your WordPress dashboard's Plugins section, click "add new" and search for "ActivityPub" . Click "install now" on the plugin, and when it has finished installing, click "activate".

2. On the WordPress dashboard, go to the "Users" section. Click on your username and scroll to the bottom to find your Fediverse address. Share this address with whoever wants to follow your blog on Mastodon etc.

3. To alter the plugin's settings, on your WordPress dashboard go to Settings > ActivityPub

If you want to switch off or remove the plugin, go to "plugins", then "deactivate" or "delete".

NOTE: This plugin only works with independently hosted WordPress sites. It doesn't work with free accounts on WordPress.com.

Today is World #BigBrotherDay and the #PirateParty is campaigning to show the insane growth of #CCTV #Surveillance cams everywhere. Tons of cams by official institutions and and individuals placing street-facing doorbell (like #privacy-horrific #Amazon Ring) are watchind you.

In picture above Pirates decorate camera's with colored balloons to attract attention to them.

Also noteworthy: #openEngiadina by @pukkamustard can now load #OSM surveillance cams..

Microsoft's Github Copilot is disregarding Free Software licenses and will be happily selling parts of your GPL code against your will! Woo!

https://drewdevault.com/2022/06/23/Copilot-GPL-washing.html

As the author of this article says - free software should be dependant on free software architecture - I recommend https://codeberg.org as an open-source alternative to Github.
Sadly Github is no longer a platform that can be trusted.
