May I say that Friendica's drag and drop or paste images into the composer is a godsent! Wow this for me is a game changer. To be able to copy paste images (like a quick screenshot) into the composer, or drag and drop images, is fucking essential! How cool!
Next: make a WYSIWYG composer 😃 so that even the most stupid idiots can create awesome long posts, with text formatting and all that 🙃

So the practice of "donation" has been completely bastardized nowadays. Mastodon has a "donate" button on their main page:
That leads to their "sponsors" page joinmastodon.org/sponsors :)
Where you can get your logo (ad) for your company, directly on their page that they brag gets hundreds of thousands of views per month:
And their Patreon has all sorts of "levels" of "donations" that "unlock" special features and add your company ads to their websites.
What a shitshow!
Motherfuckers it is not a "donation" when you get something in return for your "donation", such as special treatment, merch, ability to advertise on their website, etc.. This is a "trade". A payment. 180 degrees opposite to a "donation".
Such a weird society we live in, where Mastodon gets "donations" and Facebook is "free".
Charlatans!

This is basically begging for corporate sponsorship, mastodon may not have ads on the platform itself but they do show you ads of these sponsor companies in their website. I kinda feel bad for most FOSS developers who are having to stoop so low to get "donations" (sponsors) because I know they're probably just trying to get by, especially small projects.

Fact Check: Chet Hanks 'Exposed' Dad Tom Hanks' Role in Maui Wildfires?
The YouTube video that made the claim was viewed more than 100,000 times in a day.
The plans for the next weeks:
- Update our Friendica and test to make sure everything works fine
- Move our Peertube storage to an object storage so we free up space on our server. Currently we are at the limit when it comes to storage. Using an object storage allows us to scale up.
- Add Pixelfed to our TROM.tf services
- Release a new TROMjaro
All of these require a lot of time and resources. So it make take more than just weeks.
If you can support this work and can donate 5 Euros a month, maybe you can join the 200 for TROM tromsite.com/donate/ - currently there are some 30 people supporting us and we only need 170 more to make TROM forever sustainable :)

Our ZDay presentation is now translated into 4 languages: Spanish, Portuguese, Czech and Catalan videos.trom.tf/w/d5wwwrwGD7D3E…
Kudos to the people who are translating these TROM videos without anyone asking them to do so or how to do it. At TROM we work in this decentralized and more emerging style: people can get involved with whatever they can, and do it on their own.
We only provide some tools and platforms, like our Translation Matrix chat matrix.to/#/#translation:matri…
Amazing people. One of them actually, Lenka, we meet at ZDay. She came because of TROM and she quickly became our friend.
Now she made the Czech subtitle for the presentation and she wants to work on the entire TROM II documentary to subtitle it into Czech. Awesome people!

I have visited Aaron this weekend:
Such an amazing guy! As always. In 2 days I will return home, I am still at @Roma 's place.
After I return I will make a big article about the entire ZDay experience and meeting lots of wonderful people. Then I will focus to update our servers and services, including our Friendica! Currently we need to put Friendica in maintenance mode for some 20 minutes a day to backup the database....but that sucks since you cannot use it for this period of time. So I need to fix that too.
Anyway, I have had a wonderful experience for these past 10 or so days and I hope to have more of these experiences.
