A massive thanks to the anonymous 260 Euros donation. Wow this helps a lot! Many many thanks! tromsite.com/donate/
EDIT: then amount was refunded. Probably someone wanted to donate some 5 Euros a week/month for a period of time via Liberapay and they made a mistake and sent all of the money at once. We appreciate the help in any case! And we are trying to be as transparent about these donations as possible, thus the update.

i'm entirely serious about this. Are we going to build progressive scientific/academic community here or are we merely going to bitch about so many being on Blue Sky instead?
Sometimes building community takes work. In fact, the stuff that comes really easily is probably because *you* are the product.
@JMMaok Thanks for the link to that.
At this point I'm looking for something less formal and work-oriented. Just looking to have an informal get-together which acts as an adjunct to getting to know one another textually.
I'm hoping over time we'll get a sense of one another, and collaborations can more easily arise.
I love these "celebrate the joy of reading threads" so I'm going to go with a twist of my own, and stick to the #AusCrime / #YeahNoir themes - my fav 20 of these style books in no particular order / no reasons. (9th of 20)

* The network based on #ActivityPub (f. OStatus; OpenMicroBlogging) is called the #Fediverse (not #Mastodon )
* #diaspora protocol is #TheFederation
* While that running on #Nostr is #NOSTRich
* And #ATproto is #TheATmosphere / #ATmosphere (not #Bluesky )
Now you know!

OK I don't do a lot of polls, but I need to know from you daily #Linux desktop users out there:
I've been using Mint with Cinnamon for like 5-6 years as a primary OS but thinking about switching to Ubuntu Cinnamon. Been checking it out on a spare machine. It's similar but different. Mint is of course based on Ubuntu.
Would love to hear feedback about these 2 choices. Also before you suggest something else, I'm really set on one of these 2. I've tried lots of others. Thanks!

The Final Programme (1973): By the director of Dr. Phibes based on a Michael Moorcock book that I never read. WTF did I just watch? It's like Captain Kronos meets Zardoz. I am baffled that this came to be. Zeta One (1969): Again,...

in reply to eishiya • • •@eishiya Yes I get what you're saying about email and feed readers. I can imagine a killer fedi app that would let me manage all my accounts with ease. I feel lighter just thinking about it!
I added a thread onto that first post & I gotta say that I'm torn between wanting the fediverse to grow & dreading it. And I only arrived 2 years ago! Whatever happens I'll be here.

in reply to Rob ๐ณ๏ธโ๐ Rartsy Humanist • • •I don't think a single client will ever work *well* for all of Fedi, since it encompasses so many different kinds of services. But as a sort of minimalist reader + launcher for dedicated clients, it could work. So, closer to RSS readers than email clients.
Alternatively, a way to forward notifications to another account, if only in a basic form, to another AP account could work, and would allow any fedi client to function as a really basic service-agnostic client.
