The fedi experience
Alt...
Girl walking down a road with her hands over her ears with the words "mentioning any minor software issue" next to her. Following her down the road is a boy obnoxiously playing a trumpet at her, the words overlayed "The problem here is that you're using proprietary software and just giving your data away to corporations, what you need to do is adopt free open source..."
@babe Regrettably accurate
@babe I use Arch, btw...
@babe One of the highest prases you can give software is that "it just works" and I don't think people get that enough
@ShadowInTheVoid And really that's all a lot of people want from it. They don't need or want a learning curve or apply any ethical standards, they just need to get on with their day innit
@babe I used to be like that in the mid-late 90s, because I was a Mac zealot. And then I became a Linux *and* Mac zealot. And then I accidentally became an OSS maintainer.
Now I'm none of those things.
Over time I've become painfully aware that what works for me ain't for everyone, that nobody really cares about what works for me if it doesn't for them, so now neither do I. Someone wants to use IPX networking, or an ancient version of Solaris on hardware that keeps the house warm? Go for it!
@babe why don't you go back in time and develop entirely different habits like any other time traveler
Some people just want the software to work and do what's expected of it without some massive learning curve, submitting 20 feature requests to 8 different projects in the hope one will be accepted, or changing their entire operating system, and that's absolutely fine.
You think your home network is friendly? Oh, really. You really trust every device on it? Media players? Tablets? Televisions? The kids' toys? Your networked stove would stab you in the back as soon as look at you.

The long-running Fedi server mstdn.social (not to be confused with mastodon.social 🙂 ) has just received a takedown request from the Russian government for hosting @Bellingcat, a news site which has long been critical of Putin:
https://mstdn.social/@stux/113652461647125214
Thankfully mstdn.social isn't in Russia so Putin has no power over it.
If anyone wants to turn this into a Streisand Effect kind of thing, you might want to follow @Bellingcat and slip a donation to @stux at https://mstdn.social/@stux/113623791580168625
@FediTips @Bellingcat Thank you! ❤️
I have my suspicion that Bellingcat is a project aligned with FIVEEYES. Their stances closely track.
I put that point to them once and they neither denied nor confirmed.
The Five Eyes and Gladio, by its various names, were put in place after WWII as covert action capabilities which would survive and continue to function to resist another occupation of Europe by dictatorship. So was not a fan generally but yeah, are you folks up to the task at hand?
I wouldn't do anything about it. Russia blocks so much anyway, whether mstdn.social is accessible from Russia or not is obsolete anyway. Or is it?
@FediTips OK, but Bellingcat is funded by NED (#CIA) and @stux censors everyone pointing this out. stux falsely accuses people of being Russian trolls spreading misinformation even though Bellingcat’s publicly available Annual Accounts reports clearly states NED funding.
You literally suggest people to follow a CIA connected account and donating to someone who doesn’t like this connection being brought up. I wonder why.
The fourteenth evening of anti-government protests has begun in Georgia.
Mastodon isn't perfect.
But the fact a social network exists that is completely free to use
has no venture capital investors
has no shareholders to answer to
has no growth targets
with a web interface with zero tracking cookies
and mobile apps with zero trackers at all
with ten thousand server administrators who donate their time for user safety
is - in my opinion - mindbogglingly cool, given the state of the world we live in. Not everything has to be shit. People make things better.
The PeerTube mobile app is out!
A simple way to explore platforms and enjoy #videos.
Free from doomscrolling and dark patterns, this app respects your attention.
Learn all about behind the scenes and the upcoming updates on our blog: https://framablog.org/2024/12/10/peertube-mobile-app-discover-videos-while-caring-for-your-attention/
With our huge thanks to @NGIZero Entrust program and to @nlnet: those funds allowed us to dip into mobile dev, a new territory for us.
At Framasoft, we aim to keep those talents within our team. We are raising funds for our 2025 budget, and you can help here : https://support.framasoft.org
@peertube Congratulations! Great work! Any advice to channel owners how to get included in search by default? Even directly searching for “puppet building” doesn’t return anything on https://puppet.zone/
Not right now, but stay tuned: we will have to find an easy way to add more and more platforms to the mobile index.
We'll soon get back to the community on that.
@peertube @operationpuppet This is a big problem. When "adding" an instance address, it doesn't actually "add", it just navigates you to that platform. It doesn't add them to search results in the main default engine.
I can't imagine how much of the PeerTube ecosystem this app doesn't even touch upon. That's a HUGE problem.
I can't tell my friends to try this when they can't actually find what they're seeking.
@Coreyartus @operationpuppet Thanks for the feedback! We'll improve this behaviour
@peertube I would love to see your mascot on the app icon. Currently it looks very sterile.
@peertube any time soon in f-droid store?
@peertube Good job! I'm waiting for f-droid release.
@nictakiego It's being processed, so it shouldn't be long.
@peertube Congratulations! But I couldn't find the source code yet.
@peertube quick FTUE test, maybe these could be converted to usability enhancements:
- On launch I clicked on "I know where to go"
- Typed my instance URL to the search field. Nothing showed up. I expected app to detect it's an instance.
- I noticed a button "Add platform by URL". I clicked it, and it showed an empty search field. I expected it to copy the existing search field as the URL. But the best would be if it could automatically probe the search text for a Peertube instance.
- I cancelled the process to write this FTUE test report.
- Now I'd like to add my own instance again. In "My accounts" view I see only "Sepia" but I can't easily find a way to add a new platform.
- After a bit of browsing the UI, I found the way. You need to search for something, press "Show more platforms" button under "Platforms" list. It's difficult to find and I expected it to be in "Platforms" top menu.
- Looks like you need to type https://domain.org/ instead of domain.org. It could be added automatically.
- If the URL is invalid, the "Connect" button does nothing, it just blinks. I'd expect an error message.
My instance seems to be down, can't continue further now.
I Tried playing videos from explore. Most work fine but some just display "Error: null" in center of screen.
Thanks for the release and I hope this report is productive.
@peertube congratulations on the launch but I checked the GitLab releases section to download the app but it's empty.
https://framagit.org/framasoft/peertube/mobile-application/-/releases
@RiQuY APK builds can be found on https://builds.joinpeertube.org/mobile/ ;)
@peertube Ugly bug: The content language selection seems to be without functionality.
@peertube Can you add our instance to defaults (tube.pol.social)?
We are biggest peertube instance in Poland, and we are active moderate instance.
@piotrsikora Thanks, added to our TODO (we'll add other instance in the following weeks)
@peertube Thanks! :)
Also thanks for good job making mobile app! :)
@peertube Congrats!
@peertube
Wow! 😎😎 I have to test this!
@sweber_de
Congratulations, @peertube ! I'm really heartened by the commitment made to understand and plan to avoid the abuses that the online video industry has subjected people. This calls back our humanity and recognises we are people, not biomatter laying in gel-filled pods.
@peertube Hello. I translated the app to Polish. Will have to test it in the app later when it releases on f-droid with Polish and context that was missing from the translation page. I hope I did a good enough job for the time being. Cheers.
@peertube
Queridas en @fediversetv, ¡¡necesitamos PeerTube 6 para salir en la app!! Pleeeeeaseeee ❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏
@peertube I'd like to test logging into my account on the app, but I can't see video.infosec.exchange on there at all
@cmdr_nova Hi,
As explained in the blog post above, we plan to develop the log-in features in 2025 :)
@peertube Great start - Congratulations!
Was able to find our community instance https://sfba.video but couldn’t figure out how to login with the app. Is that a feature in the making or is something missing on our instance?
@seb As explained in the blog post above, we plan to develop the log-in features in 2025 :)
@peertube for iOS, have you considered restricting instances on your "explore" tab to local-only view for the whitelisted servers and allowing us to add servers like on android?
I ask because I was able to land on a server that has "naked news" on their "featured" tab through a video on a whitelisted platform, which might explain why the app stores keep pushing back against you guys. Practically zero reviewers will know how to find objectionable content if they have to know a server address.
@engiqueering I think we'll try this option for iOS in the future!
@peertube@framapiaf.org Do you have a roadmap of what you have planned for your app?
@crossgolf_rebel Yes, it's in the blog post above (under "Coming soon, in the PeerTube App" title)
@peertube What about a desktop app? :p
@ZoidbergForPresident It's called firefox with your favorite PeerTube instance URL :p
Joke aside we have some desktop clients listed on https://docs.joinpeertube.org/use/third-party-application#desktop-clients (not official ones, they are created by the community)
@peertube I love the new app! One question - how can I log into my account on one of the platforms? I would like to be able to like and comment on videos from within the app, but without being able to login I can't actually do this
@Rainer Hi,
It's not possible yet (as explained in our blog post: https://framablog.org/2024/12/10/peertube-mobile-app-discover-videos-while-caring-for-your-attention/)
The login feature is planned for 2025! :)
@peertube Login in to my instance to access my subscriptions was the sole reason I was looking forward to an official app. I'm baffled that this is not possible on release.
@dioxippe We understand, but we have limited resources and so developing features requires time. But they are planned for 2025! https://support.joinpeertube.org
@peertube Good to hear, I'm looking forward to it. Good luck and congrats on the app, it works fine otherwise.

@peertube Can I use my Mastodon account? Don't really want to create/manage a separate account for video.
@peertube super excited to install this whenever it's on Fdroid! :3
@lily Work is in progress! https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroiddata/-/merge_requests/17235
Hehe (bug already reported)
Also I find it impossible to log in with an account? And the lack of PiP and background playback makes this just as painful to use as the website....
I hope for the best! The app is already on apps.obtainium.imramr.dev !

As many users have asked for it, there is now an option to make the number of followed and following accounts public (still disabled by default). These are only the numbers; the lists themselves are never published.
Some fixes to blocked instances code (posts from them were sometimes shown).
Fixed non-appearing buttons Approve and Discard if the account requesting a follow were being followed.

@grunfink great release! Thank you!
Turns out all you need is good old cgi-fcgi and a starter script. I'll send you a PR with a proper example as soon as possible.
I think this shows how Snac is the cheapest and easiest to install #fediverse server, lowering the bar to self-hosting #privacy friendly instances for schools, group of friends or families.
And using it from #fedilab is just as easy as any other instance.
Thanks for the great work @grunfink@comam.es!

You might use Mastodon and the rest of the Fediverse through your server's website or through an app, but there is also a third option that many people prefer: web apps.
Web apps are special kinds of websites that can also be installed like apps. They appear as app icons, keep you signed in, work separately from your browser and provide notifications just like any app does.
Web apps are extremely easy to install, there's a complete beginner's guide at:
➡️ https://fedi.tips/how-to-install-web-apps-for-mastodon-and-the-fediverse
that's funny, because I've always thought a lot of apps behave pretty much like a website and the app is unnecessary.
A lot of app store apps are actually just web apps packaged to be downloadable from app stores!
But web apps don't give Apple or Google any money or control, so they tend to get downplayed. It's also harder to access a user's data from a web app than an app store app, so companies who want to spy on their users do it through app store apps.
@FediTips which is something Apple (iOS) is trying to kill! Dammit Apple.
Don't buy iOS.
There's a section about this in the guide, the part marked "Isn’t this just a bookmark? What’s the point of this?":
https://fedi.tips/how-to-install-web-apps-for-mastodon-and-the-fediverse/
tl:dr - They let you use the website without the browser interface getting in the way, you don't have to open or close the browser as it runs separately, and web apps provide notifications like app store apps do.
EDIT: I've rewritten it a bit to make clearer what the differences are between bookmarks and web apps.
@dandylover1 @FediTips it gets rid of the browser 'chroming' (the tabs, the headers, all the extension toolbar stuff) so you JUST have your app, acting like an app. It can be separately sized (without impacting what a new browser window will open as), separately iconified.
Take a music player - it isn't a web page. It is an app. It just happens to use web-tech. By installing it as a PWA, I can control where it goes, give it its own icon, and more, and THINK of it as an app, not a web page.
Here are two views of my own music player (a client for #Subsonic). One is a self-contained app interface. The other is...an annoying tab in my browser. Buried when I am in another tab, distracted by all the 'stuff' around it. Just...meh. If you want to keep to the tab, fine. But I find having an app be separate is more aesthetically pleasing.
I'm sorry, I didn't realise. Screen reader users would indeed have a totally different perspective on this, thank you for sharing it!
@dandylover1 @FediTips those of us who code web-apps ABSOLUTELY take the stance that they are apps and not "pages". regardless of the attention to accessibility (a curse on apps in general, and web-apps don't make any difference here: accessibility is EXPENSIVE, and those of us who code for free, for ourselves primarily, just don't have that kind of time).
so i respect that it doesn't make a difference to you as such...but you kind of moved the goalposts a bit in bringing it up now, because you PRESENTED it as a general "i don't get it" thing, where-as your personal circumstances are different so our counter-arguments are clearly irrelevant IN THIS CASE.
As a Fediverse tech support account, it's really useful to hear the screen reader perspective, because I should be keeping that in mind when offering support.
One of the best things about joining the Fediverse has been discovering more about accessing the internet via audio tools like screen readers. It's a totally different approach.

Georgia's ruling party, the Russian puppet regime "Georgian Dream", is showing who they truly are. Openly cutting ties with the West, specifically the EU, so they can once again make Georgia an autocratic Russian colony. The people of Georgia are having none of it and the regime is beating them to a pulp. The regime is also targeting journalists because they are embarrassed and afraid of the world and the Georgian people seeing who they really are. But we see. #Tbilisi #Georgia #EU

If anyone still wants Haswell (4th gen) T440p, W541, 9020 etc, order now. It'll be gone soon (won't be deleted from Libreboot, only minifree).
Libreboot replaces proprietary BIOS/UEFI firmware. I run the project; Minifree sales fund the work.
I'm doing a new Libreboot release soon, with ThinkPad T480 and ThinkCentre M920q support. Intel 8th gen. They'll replace the Intel 4th gen (Haswell) machines that I currently sell.
edit: my move isn't about politics. Looks like things are not going to be much better where I'm going.

In the justly derided later seasons of the X-Files, they produced one masterpiece episode, easily among the all time best: The Lost Art Of Forehead Sweat. The "peak" of that ep is this scene, in which Dr. They explains exactly what's happened in the last decade. This is the ballgame. Watch it or not, it probably won't matter. But you should.
@mrcompletely Holy shit
@drewphish I mean there it is.
@mrcompletely It's like the person who wrote this had a time machine. Eery.
@drewphish funny that everyone thinks this is old. It's from 2018.
@mrcompletely I had no idea that show was still around then. None!
@drewphish they did a few seasons widely spaced after the main run of the show. This is the only great thing they came up with in that time.
@drewphish @mrcompletely Darin Morgan wrote many of the best episodes. This should have been the wrap-up for the show. It's a perfect ending.
Added a new user option to disable automatic follow confirmations (follow requests must be manually approved from the people page).
The search box also searches for accounts (via webfinger).
New command-line action import_list, to import a Mastodon list in CSV format (so that Mastodon Follow Packs can be directly used).
New command-line action import_block_list, to import a Mastodon list of accounts to be blocked in CSV format.

What are Follow Packs?These "follow packs" can also be used from #snac pretty easily. To do it, just download the list you are interested in and run the following command for each one:They are just packaged topical lists of up to 35 accounts you can follow from your Mastodon or other Fediverse account. You can follow the entire pack by importing a file. And the entire pack loads into a list, so it becomes a feed for that subject. You can also just browse for accounts you might want to follow individually.
So, they’re like Bluesky Starter Packs?
Yes, but not quite as convenient. It’s not hard, but because Mastodon does not have a one-click way to do this, you need to download a follow pack file and then use Mastodon’s import facility. Instructions are provided in the directory and also below.
snac import_list $BASE_DIR $USER_ID /path/to/the/file.csvThe list will be created and the accounts inside followed. After that, you'll find a link to the list at the top of your private timeline. Please, take note that these lists are not automatically populated; they will eventually fill with the new posts from the new accounts, that will also appear in your timeline.
snac's web UI does not allow maintaining these lists, but you can do it with any Mastodon API client or from https://mastodonlistmanager.org (which is, em, also a Mastodon API client).
30 years ago today I was on the rail for the first time ever at a #phish show.
The first ever glowstick war that occurred during the Harpua was one of the only times I've seen the band legitimately shocked.
Green glowsticks started pouring from the balcony above Page + the band had no idea...

The setlist for Phish's show on 11/25/84 at the UIC Pavilion in Chicago.
...no idea what the hell was going on. I think even Mike smiled so you know it was serious. You can hear the crowd going nuts on the tapes.
At one point Trey caught a glowstick and threw it back and the place went nuts.
Musically, the Weekapaug->Mango segue was one of the best I've ever...
2/
...been in the building for. They just suddenly slammed on the brakes and were playing Mango. Magical.
This show was the day after Thanksgiving. We took the L down from Evanston and arrived at the venue at 12:30. We walked around the building and couldn't figure out where the line was going...
3/
...to be so we asked someone who looked like he might be working. He laughed and said "For the show in 7 hours?" Keep in mind this was late November in Chicago so it was cold AF.
He pointed to where the line started and we waited. Within a half hour some kid showed up who told us he had just...
4/
...dropped out of high school the week before to follow #phish. That kid's name? Antelope Greg. It was his fourth show or something like that.
We were the first people in the door and made a beeline for right in front of Mike. I was obsessed with the song Tube at the time (kind of still am)...
5/
...and made a sign that I figured would get his attention.
The sign read "Tube for Bill Schechter". Mike and I went to the same high school and both had a history teacher named Bill Schechter. This guy is the kind of teacher who you never, ever forget. I credit him with teaching me how to...
6/
...think critically. Like, a life-changing teacher that stays with you for the rest of your life. So I figured I would get Mike's attention by dropping Bill's name with absolutely zero context whatsoever.
Boy did my sign work. (Well, they sure AF didn't play Tube so not really LMAO).
7/
But Mike had to have looked at me 40 times during the opening Llama. Not kidding. He was trying to place me and of course couldn't. I got my sign read! I just didn't yet realize that successful request are *only* made to Trey and before shows.
But Bill Schechter and I sure had a good laugh...
8/
...about this when I saw him the next time. "And they didn't play the song??" he said. No but I would get a year later so all good.
Side note: I took Bill Schechter to one show and it was 11/28/97. He *instantly* got it. The You Enjoy Myself in the 2-slot rewired his brain. He slipped a note...
9/
...to a roadie that night and ended up getting a really nice note back from Mike who remembered him fondly.
Anyways, 11/25/94 was a blast and one of my best friend in the world's first show and I slept in my own bed and 1994 #phish is the fucking best.
Don't miss that segue!

Wanna help #PeerTube?
We need tests and feedbacks on our future mobile app!
Whether on iOS, Play Store or with an apk, download our test version and share your feedback on here: https://framaforms.org/peertube-mobile-application-release-candidate-1731599644
You have until dec. 8th to share, test and help us have a great release!
@peertube very frustrating that the first priority here wasn’t making it possible to log into an instance, or at least manually add your favorites. Trying to be optimistic here but this preview is unusable for me (literally none of the instances I watch videos from are here), and seems like it’s taking a very “walled garden” approach that feels antithetical to the whole point of the federated net
@engiqueering We understand your frustration. An "unlocked" app will be available on F-Droid, and the logged-in account features will also be available in the following months :)
@peertube is there a timeline for an iOS version as well?
@engiqueering You mean an "unlocked" app on iOS?
@peertube yes, will the unlocked iOS version come out alongside the unlocked android version?
@engiqueering Is there an alternative store on iOS like F-Droid for Android? (I'm not the dev of the application, so I'm not an expert of the iOS ecosystem :) )
@peertube No, apple devices are required to use the managed app store, however an iOS app was promised last year (https://joinpeertube.org/news/peertube-future-2024)
I know several people who *want* to use peertube regularly, but the lack of a mobile app is a barrier to entry. Currently there *no* iOS peertube client but several Android ones (Thorium, P2Play, etc), it is a serious problem for adoption that half the mobile market has no native app
@engiqueering Sorry I misunderstood you. Yes, the iOS version of the app is planned and we already have a working beta (as you can see on https://framaforms.org/peertube-mobile-application-release-candidate-1731599644). We're currently experiencing issues with the App Store validation unfortunately...
@peertube I've been working with the beta and have very much been enjoying it. I hope you get the App Store validation resolved, I'm glad to know the full iOS release is still in the works 👍
