@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 👍

If you search for "Should I care about privacy" then this is the first result you get:

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 have nothing to hide. Why should I care about my privacy?”
There are two sets of reasons to care about your privacy even if you’ve got nothing to hide: ideological reasons and practical reasons. Just like the right to interracial marriage, the right to…Fábio Esteves (Medium)

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 😀

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 ?

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.
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.

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.

@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.

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! Thanks a lot for working on adding Friendica support, I will be doing more testing with this account now :)

Some #linux #commands are very useful but hard to remember. Don't you think it'll be nice if we could easily #bookmark these commands in the #terminal ?
Well, I found something that does exactly this 😀 - github.com/dzervas/fzf-command…
In short, this is how it works 👇
You write down a command, then press "Ctrl + k" to bookmark the command.
Pressing "Ctrl + space" or "Ctrl + @" will let you search through all your bookmarks and select the command you want.

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 ❤️
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.
