Wow, I was actually able to login to my Friendica account using the #Fedilab app!
@Fedilab Apps I was a bit busy with other things for a few days so I couldn't do much testing during that time, but now when I tried to login to my Friendica account on the latest fedilab release (3.0.5), it worked!

Update: OK, so it doesn't happen all the time, sometimes a mention appears like we expect - showing a username instead of the link. I think this bug only happens when 2 accounts are mentioned in a single line, will have to do more testing to confirm this though. I have attached a screenshot.
One other thing to note - it doesn't matter whether the mentions are shown correctly or not, clicking on them simply asks me to open it in a web browser instead of natively opening it inside the app itself.

This post was waaaaay longer than I expected, but damn that was one of the wildest things I've ever read. Took me 2 days to finish reading, but so fucking worth it.
Anyway, so this is a blog post about why @Tio and @Sasha got married and what they had to go through for that. Reading this was like going through an emotional roller-coaster, at one point I'm laughing hysterically, at another I'm almost about to cry, so many unexpected twists and turns, lol. Tio I'm glad you wrote this blog post in such a great detail, maybe it'd open up some people's eyes about these things, or at least make them understand people like you. TBH I never expected this much drama in this post, reading through some of those things almost made be cry, I'm sorry you had to go through all that, but I'm even more saddened by the fact that what you experienced was just a glimpse of the reality outside.
In the end I'm happy that both of you are together now, I think you guys deserve each other β€οΈ

heh yeah...people have no clue how fucked up our society is, simply because they learn not to "disturb" it. Most people are compliant slaves, and they never will poke at this society to see how truly fucked up it is. They think we live in a democracy, with rules and laws to keep things organized and such. But these are the working slaves who will go to school, then have a job, get married, buy a house, get in debt, stay in the same place, go to holidays, and have the same exact life like everyone else. For them facebook is a great social platform, the gov is a good parent to have, the society is working.
Anyway....the fact that 2 humans cannot live together on this planet for no reason other than "papers", is fucked up to say the least.

@Tio@Sasha I was actually familiar with this idea of marriage being a ritual and a human invention, even before I met you guys I heard this idea somewhere and it stuck with me. Its funny because even people who understands that religion is a human invention, sometimes even they can't wrap their head around the fact that marriage is one. I'm not trying to make fun of people here, I understand that they're just accustomed to these values from growing up in such cultures. Like you mentioned in that blog post, its really sad because there are lots of good humans out there with kind hearts, they just grew up in a weird and fucked up world, this is actually one of the saddest things I've ever seen, I was able to understand all your frustrations and sadness because I'm also kinda "weird" like you. But I don't know how to describe it to people because most of them consider this as a normality π

Thanks for testing! They didn't use to work back when we were still using Friendica's original protocol to communicate between Friendica nodes, but since we switched to ActivityPub for this type of communication I guess we adopted the behaviors we came up specifically for Mastodon.

This is a downside of adopting ActivityPub as our main transmission protocol, the content warning workaround is now the default behavior for Friendica as well.

@Hypolite Petovan@Michael Vogel would an abstract for ActivityPub only just be used for remote servers or would it be applied to the own profile page as well?

@Tobias@Michael Vogel@Hypolite Petovan Maybe its better to allow users to choose this for themselves. Some users may prefer to see their own abstracts, this improves consistency and would also work as a preview. Some other users may want to hide their own abstracts like the above message explains. So letting the users choose for themselves might be a good idea π€

Not sure, it depends what you mean by "profile page". Is it your profile page on your local node where you signed up or your profile page on any remote server who knows about you and your posts?

If you watch this video you'll understand how awesome XFCE is, I'm impressed by how such a lightweight DE could be this much extensible. And of course #TROMjaro takes all of this awesomeness and makes it usable and easy for users, having sane defaults is very important if you're new to linux.

I know how to print the working directory, change directories, and remove files, but not much more without looking it up.
So you use linux, that's nice π. And its useful to know the basic terminal commands, you can always just look up the man pages to show you more info when you need it π
I'm now more experienced with terminals, and I've tweaked a bunch of things to make them easier for me, the post above explains some of it. I don't know what exactly it was, but I think it was learning vim that actually made me realize that terminal is easier to use in some cases compared to a GUI.

#Tromjaro linux has a nice little thing that I believe is useful for all linux users, this is it - https://www.tromjaro.com/apps/
You can find hundreds of Trade-free linux apps there, all of them are GUI programs and there are screenshots attached for each one. Even though TROMjaro is not my daily driver I sometimes use this service to search for apps like photo editors, video players, etc.
The install button on these pages may only work on TROMjaro, but its very easy for me to find the package name.

I rent my shoes, find a ball I like and roll my first ball down the alley.
I knocked down all but 1 pin!
THEN, 4 arms come down from above the pins and start clearing away what I'd knocked down.
They were still using pin-boys! π

This book explains in simple terms how one single thing, just one, creates most of our problems regardless of societies, cultures, and eras: from famine to wars, from data collection to abuse, from crimes to climate change, from corruption to poor quality goods and services, and so forth.

These are the things that should be talked about, thank you for writing about it. I don't know if I can call humans intelligent anymore, because you're right, looking at all the fucked up things we do to each other and our planet, it feels like we're morally primitive, despite all the technological advancements we've made.

- When you don't want to be indexed at all, just add a robots.txt to the root of your site. Then your whole site isn't indexed.
- For the follower notifications with the "soapbox" account you could create a feature request on our repository. Somewhere in the future we will rewrite the notification system and then we could have a look at this.
- The delivery speed depends on your setup. On my systems this is done in sometimes fractions of a second. it really depends on your system and your setup. For example the number of parallel workers is important as well.
- Concerning "other networks": whenever supported, we transmit the deletion command. But AFAIK the OStatus protocol (not very much in use nowadays) doesn't support it. But this is more some kind of disclaimer. Normally it should be deleted.

Is this something an individual user can do ? Or do I need the help of admins to do this ? I'll tag @Tio here 'cause he's my admin. If I recall correctly, I think mastodon allows every user to individually opt out of search engine indexing.Probably this is something I could do but I'd like not to, since it affects all accounts.
If it affects all accounts then I understand why you don't wanna change it. There should actually be a setting for individual users to toggle search engine indexing, like there is on mastodon. Read this post by @An Infinitude of Tortoises, he's experiencing the opposite problem - he wants to be indexed by search engines but his instance has the robots.txt file.
This entry was edited (4 months ago)
Currently this setting is coupled with another functionality. Please open a feature request at our repository. Then we can have a look if this could be decoupled.
I have created a new feature request for it here.
I also looked into the follower notification issue on soapbox accounts and found that there is already an open issue about it, so I just left a comment there

A related question: my account has "Allow your profile to be searchable globally?" enabled, but it seems only search.noc.social is indexing (and only annually, I gather) my Profile page -- or at least it's invisible to such major search engines as Google, DDG, etc. (This is perhaps unsurprising given that a robots.txt is indeed present at the root of libranet.de.) So, can anything be done to make my Profile visible -- directly, not merely via search.noc.social -- to the search engines? That's what I had supposed the above-mentioned setting was designed to do.
