there needs to be a way to embed a webfont inside of a post that a client app can then grab and display the text of the post in that font. this could be done in number of ways and should probably be implemented in a number of ways depending on usecase.

I dreamt of some fediverse features I wish existed last night. the main one in my dream was collaborative posts with multiple authors listed. this type of thing was launched on instagram last year or so but has existed in afk world forever. there are many times where an announcement or statement is being made where you want it to be clear this announcement is equally arising from multiple parties and there isnt a good way to express that here atm

2024-08-28 15:45:32

So many interesting people to follow on https://typo.social

Hey @npub1z8r…mrq6 only took us 20 months but @npub1qhr…zt7z, @npub1u7e…5zwm and myself finally launched https://symbol.fediverse.info and set up the @npub1tzj…dfrk account for it. Would love it if you were still interested in being involved or even just using it!

The news that Epic Games is launching their own iOS and Android app stores AND adding their apps to @npub168y…upza is pretty monumental news and I am surprised to not see more people here talking about it. Its not that I care about Epic Games at all but they are the first big player to step into the ring of cross platform mobile app stores and this has the potential of shaking things up in a big way...

I know there are nerds with drawers filled with partially broken or flashed android phones overflowing here that they are not using. I will buy one off you for a fair price or make good use of it instead of it being ewaste killing the planet

2024-07-20 09:22:42

I really need a new phone. I want a used one that supports the most recent version of a degoogled android (and optionally support for @npub1vnu…8mqn or @npub1lmq…xa4a)
I don't mind a broken screen or a dead battery or charging port cause I have the ability to fix it myself. Come on fedi what you got?

maybe this is a translation mismatch from different languages. But I am very deep in alt tech stuff and I have never once seen anything described by "internal decentralized cloud" so as a buzzword to me or other people speaking English it's not a term that you can even research. Maybe explaining that the phone supports syncing data between itself and other phones or computers running holochain or a supported p2p protocol would be more understandable.

2024-07-19 10:09:00

"internal decentralized cloud" doesn't mean anything. Why would you advertise this?

German Visa confusion:
So I got a three year "IT specialist without qualifications" visa and it states that its explicitly linked to the full time job that I applied with, but it also says that I am allowed to freelance. If I switch to part time on my current job but make other money doing freelance to make up to the same income level stated on my visa could that be allowed? I don't want to have to apply for another visa lol

Was just listening to Bad Timing via looking at an old tweet by @npub1wlq…y9t8 after thinking about our mutual friend who was murdered.

2024-07-05 17:21:39

Listening to music made by dead friends, wonder how common it is that this is such a large category... I guess this just keeps increasing as I get older and more friends die.

thanks I actually managed to link this to venmo but I don't have enough in there so I would have to transfer from my bank account to that to venmo and pay a fee on like two layers of that

Would also take sugestions on how to get 250 into my Venmo account with out a multi day delay with only Euros...

2024-07-05 14:06:41

Anyone want to help me transfer a bit of money around? I need to pay my US storage space rent (was due last week) but all my money is in a EU bank account that I can't link to my Venmo (which is the only way my storage accepts rent)
I need like 250usd to my Venmo or Chase (US bank) accounts and can then send you the same back thru Swift/IBAN or some old crypto I have laying around from another life ago...

yeah! Try following a group actor from Lemmy like @npub1lda…94jz, and you will see all the posts are from other actors, and the group never makes posts itself. This makes the most sense to me...

where do I listen!?

2024-07-04 17:16:18

each account/person should have its own actor. If there is a blog wide actor it should be a group that boosts all posts from the individual accounts. /My 2 cents

"Enabling self-hosting or giving a leg up to would-be competitors by open-sourcing our entire stack doesn't seem like the right move to protect our own viability as a company." - @bartbutler (a Proton repo member pointed to this in the most recent post I can find in the repo about the back end not being open)

Whats up with Proton advertising they "believe in the power of Open Source" but then keeping all their back end server code proprietary? This feels like open washing...

If something is "frozen" it is dead in the sense that it shows no signs of "movement" but that doesn't mean it can't be dethawed. RSS is frozen. So maybe it becomes the icecubes in a glass full of "modules"?

2024-07-02 12:24:58

- reply

its not that I wasn't seriously pondering the issue. The "rss is dead lol" is like a meme at this point so thats what I meant by humor. I personally know that RSS is not at all dead. Its something I talk and think about and use quite a lot. I guess the heart of the matter is that I don't think we have good mechanisms to evolve these standards. The analogy of living or dead is quite a wrong one in the first place.

when I click on the profile that says I can login to [@aSeppoToTry](https://seppo.social/aseppototry/ ) it redirects to the RSS feed before I can do anything on the page. It says you can try the account in the header but doesn't say where you can try it since it just redirects to the feed as soon as you go there...

2024-07-02 11:31:10

I realized I have no idea who "holds" the RSS or Atom specs. And what the process is for "updating" them. There is no REP (RSS Enhancement Procedure) and maybe there should be? But also is this the best way to add stuff to a standard? I fear not... What living standards/specs/protocols do we have that are most dear to us? And how do they grow or shift or adapt?
