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.

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 😀

If you didn't know, @Tio is currently working on a big ass documentary called TROM II, and its probably the biggest project ever done using #kdenlive - the free and opensource video editor. And I know it features some awesome humans like @Sasha, @Aaron, @Georgi, @Dima and of course Tio 🙂
And if you know this project @TROM and have been following their work, then you know its gonna be awesome, just take a look at these videos they made a while ago:
videos.trom.tf/w/jrLmgWLj9nWsd…
videos.trom.tf/w/tVV1uZFkYPYJG…
Now those videos were 4 minutes and 11 minutes respectively, now just imagine what they could do in a multi hour documentary!
I'm super excited for its release and I know they'll be uploading it to their @PeerTube instance. I've always been a fan of their #FediFirst approach 😀

:) I hope people will find it valuable. And for those who may not be at all familiar with TROM and what we do, this documentary will be release for free of course, like everything that we do. And there is no catch to any of this. That's how things should be done, for the sake of doing them, not to buy a new phone or pay your rent. Trade-Free. :)

That is why I mentioned in my post that you guys would upload this documentary to peertube, I thought that'd imply that its free without any subscription, ads, or data collection. But yeah its better to be clear that this won't be commercialized in any way, completely trade-free 😀

There is a cyclone emoji! 🌀
It just kinda looks like a spiral to me 🤔
Rokosun reshared this.
You know what, when I learned about the names of some common emojis I got very confused & surprised!
😂 - this emoji is often used by me and many others to show a laughing face, but apparently its called "face with tears of joy" !
😋 - I have sometimes used this emoji to show a silly face, but its actually called "face savoring food".
I wonder if this confuses people using screen readers, or do they understand these differences ?
Full emoji list with names and all - unicode.org/emoji/charts/full-…

That's what I thought. Now I gotta learn to use the more appropriate emoji, rather than going with like meme-culture meanings my friends would also use.
Some of the emoji also don't look exactly what we'd want to express, so we end up using emoji that would be technically wrong. It's also a bit worse with other emoji fonts whose own art style can make people use or not use some emoji. Most of the emoji are pretty straightforward across fonts, but some of them look not as we'd expect or think.
Oh, I didn't know that. Wow. Yeah I guess that's the problem with using characters to try to show the extensive set of emotions and such.
You use a screen reader right? Have those emojis ever confused you? Especially that laughing emoji is very popular, it looks more like "tears from laughing too hard" than "tears of joy". So my question is, before reading my post did you knew that people meant laughing when they used that emoji?
And @Hawlucha is right, different programs show these emojis in a different way, in my browser it looks flat, in my phone it has a little 3D effect. I wish these things were more consistent.
Rokosun reshared this.
Okay so when I see the "tears of joy" one, I ... kinda just think people are extra happy or something. I honestly don't find any reason to use it in its original meaning.
Rokosun reshared this.
That's interesting because people usually use it to mean laughter, which is kinda similar to being happy so I understand why you thought like that.
Its a very common emoji actually, I use it a lot too. I was very surprised to find that its actually trying to depict "tears of joy" and not "tears of laughter". I think this is an issue with unicode, they should've made these more clear. And when someone realizes that this emoji is commonly used to show laughter, then that clears the misunderstanding. I made this post to make more people aware of this since I didn't see anyone else talking about it.

On Birdapp, they used to show the unicode name if you hovered over the emoji, but then it went away. (My guess is some exec decided "everyone uses their phone anyway and you can't hover the cursor on phones"). So this whole issue is impacted by the fact that to those not using a screen reader, the names are usually nowhere to be found in the moment. 🤷 The apps don't let us make informed decisions about the accessibility of our emoji use.
I would argue that emoji is closer to language than say, simple UI glyphs. A ui glyph attempts to reduce ambiguity, but language is complex and nuanced. Like a word, an emoji may have one strict definition, but people will use it creatively and without checking a dictionary first.
I can’t speak from personal experience, but would anticipate someone using a screen reader would parse emoji content in the same way they interpret the choice of words in the context.

Isn't that your private mastodon message was shared as private on your friendica too?
Friendica Support reshared this.
@Tio I just sent a private message from my Mastodon account to my Friendica account, nothing weird about that. But the unexpected thing is that Friendica automatically boosted/reshared that message. This is very strange because private messages are not supposed to be boosted/reshared, even that little "reshare" button is not shown when you're viewing a private message.
Friendica Support reshared this.
@Matthias/E Yes that's what I wrote at the end:
When I open the same profile page from my mastodon account or just open the profile link in a different browser, then this reshared post doesn't even show there.
Maybe there is no privacy issues with this, IDK, as far as I know I'm the only person who can see the message on my own profile. But its still quite weird because private messages are not supposed to be reshared, I don't know if this would cause any other problems in the future.
