Today was a comfy day!
I'd taken the bus, then the metro 🚝 to visit a bookstore.
I'd purchased 4 books ☺️, namely:
- Murder on the Orient Express, by Agatha Christie
- Short Stories, by O.Henry
- The Magicians of Mazda, by Ashwin Sanghi
- The Case of the Velvet Claws, by Erle Stanley Gardner
Most of them were second-hand ones, which I prefer, coz they cheap! 😇
I liked roaming around in that area of the city. It was so 'walkable' and safe for pedestrians. There were very few cars, which also shouldn't've been there! 
Loads of shops to pop into: some street food, pubs, book shops, eateries, hawkers hawking all kinds of fancy fare, etc. 'Twas nice to see lots of people buyin' books! 😇
'Tis the best part of the city! 🥳

@frankie When I was replying to you it had the content warning, I manually removed it because we were not talking about your day anymore, lol 😄
I forgot what the default setting in Friendica was, but they allow the user to set if they want to apply CWs for replies or not, and I've enabled it on my account :)

@Émilie Mastodon Edition @frankie Yes Em, content warnings in Friendica are called abstracts and they're part of the BBCode markup language that Friendica use.
Here is more information about Abstracts in Friendica - wiki.friendi.ca/docs/abstract

My mastodon instance fosstodon.org isn't loading for some reason. Its nice that I have this account as a backup 😄
Is it annoying for you when I boost my old posts? Also how about when I boost other posts from fedi?
- Its annoying when you boost your own posts (17%, 3 votes)
- Its annoying 'cause you boost a lot of other posts (0%, 0 votes)

Related to the above poll, I would also like to know how many of you have hidden by boosts from your timeline.
For those who don't know, yes its a feature on mastodon, you can hide someone's boosts if you want, more info here - mstdn.social/@feditips/1052838…

Attached: 1 image Is there someone you follow who does good posts but you don't want to see their boosts? ✅ To hide someone's boosts go to their profile, click the "..." button and select "Hide boosts from".Mastodon 🐘
- I have hidden your boots for some time now (0%, 0 votes)
- Didn't know I could do that, I'll hide your boosts (40%, 4 votes)
- No, I don't wanna hide your boosts (60%, 6 votes)
Oh, these poll results are quite interesting..... 😁
So I actually expected more people will say its annoying when I boost other posts, because that's what I do most often. But apparantly not a single person voted for that, lol 😄
And 17% votes said its annoying when I boost my own posts. I don't think I boost a lot my old posts, but I do boost my replies sometimes, so I wonder if this is what they meant 🤔
1/3
So because of the way mastodon works, it'll only show you a reply on your timeline if you're following both the person who replied and the one they replied to, unless they boosted it, then you'll see that reply as a boost. This is different for platforms like Friendica where by default they'll show you all of the replies of people you follow, this behavior can be changed in settings though.
2/3
And looking at the 2nd poll it shows that not many people were aware of this feature in mastodon that allows you to hide someone's boosts. Its great that mastodon gives people this option, because it means if someone don't like my boosts they can just hide it themselves 😁
One thing to note here is that if you hide someone's boosts then it'll hide all of their boosts, including when they boost their own posts or other's, so be aware of that.
3/3
I have all boosts turned off. I'm more interested in what people have to say directly in their timeline.

I want Mixtape 🤭😢
I had made a YouTube playlist of some 30 pop songs for my sibling, and they didn't even open it! 😐
Apparently, YouTube is inconvenient on the phone! 👽

my wife and I have gone camping for a week every year for the past 25 years. We've been doing this since we were dating. We go with her extended family and close friends and kids. Its about 30 people these days.
It's a couple hours drive and we used to make mix tapes, then CDS. Now we make playlists.

Awesome that you found it so interesting. After TROM II is released I definitely plan to reboot TROMcast and invite more people from this sort-of-world. There are many wonderful people and I'd like to talk to them, to let them present their projects, and so on.

Why am I seeing posts of people I don't follow on my home timeline?
!Friendica Support
Look at this screenshot:
Now I don't follow Anubis or Katherine, and I've never followed them actually, then why are their posts showing up on my home timeline?! And as you can see from my screenshot none of my followers have reshared or replied to the posts either, so this shouldn't be here right?
I've seen their posts before too, I believe this has been happening for months now, I just didn't pay close attention before because this wasn't my main account. And I'm also using the default settings of Friendica, see this screenshot:
Any idea why this might be happening and how to fix this?

So @tio just made another awesome video showcasing TROMjaro! 😀
videos.trom.tf/w/3icxgucYY2ygk…
This video is the last of its kind, and you can watch all 3 videos on this new forum post - forum.tromjaro.com/t/presentin…
Watching these videos will make you understand how TROMjaro linux is quite unique and different, not just in terms of look but also in terms of functionality and features. #tromjaro is not "just another linux distro", it has a focus and vision that drives it forward - trade-free.org
TROMjaro: Perfecting it.
This is the last video of our series on presenting the new TROMjaro. In this video we will look at the default apps that TROMjaro comes with. https://www.tromjaro.com/videos.trom.tf
Maybe we should tag @Nick @ The Linux Experiment and @Geotechland or @TechHut if they want to give it a try and make a video about it. :) I know they might be sick of so many "distros" but maybe they can watch the videos we made to see why TROMjaro brings some unique things together. We have released it in 2018ish, so it is not a project that will disappear in like 5 months. We update and create new features for it.

@thebiologist1117 @frankie remember when I got confused and thought that Em changed the thread into a DM? Well now it won't happen anymore because the new release of #fedilab shows a little icon at the top of every post to indicate its visibility 😀
@apps, keep up the good work 👍

I think you should share this to everyone. Its OK if they still don't care about privacy, but they should know about these threats. So they can take care of it if and when they feel like they need it :)

I changed my name from "Future is FOSS" to "Rokosun".
When I first created this account I never expected it to be such a big part of my life, but now its become my online identity across different platforms. I've been suggested many times to change to a shorter & easier name so that people can address me easily, and its been on my to-do list for sometime now. Maybe I should've done this sooner, but better late than never :)
Rokosun doesn't mean anything, I just think its nice, short & unique 😀
