It’s really good to see Yggdrasil there in the mix. I see no reason why this shouldn’t work seamlessly, and unlike TOR, be simultaneously available over the IPv4 and IPv6 clearnets as well as Yggdrasil.Lemme think on that for a bit though…

Isn’t it wonderful? NOT. Mixing #Copyleft #FOSS with Copilot? How exactly does that work?And if you like VS Code, be sure to consider using #VSCodium instead, or maybe #Vim, k?The following article is a good read, and as a FOSS and Privacy Advocate, one that enjoys much in common with thine own longtstanding philosophy.https://sfconservancy.org/GiveUpGitHub/#tallship #git #Codeberg #Gitea #privacy⛵.

Yes I subscribed in the past to someone on YouTube that just supercharges #Emacs in phenomenal ways. His videos run from basic to extremely advanced, and he presents everything in a cookbook style set of tutorials, demonstrating live while he builds custom environments.I can’t recall his name or channel off the top of my head right now. Bookmarks are a good thing :)I find what can be done with #Emacs to be fascinating: Email, IDE, working in my #Korn_shell (tksh) all sorts of regular interesting operations where you rarely need to exit the environment for anything- even #IRC, which is something I use everyday anyway.I don’t know why, perhaps just sitting down and dedicating time and practice for myself I suppose. And I tried to set up #Vim like keybindings with #Evil_Mode to make it easier for me which is really sort of cheating I guess, but I’ve been using #vi since the late 70’s, so it’s very natural for me.I’m interested in #Org_Mode, since it seems to be a place where people can start off with using Emacs as a daily driver, and it supports Tex and Markdown, so that’s my first stop I guess.Now I do use Emacs, to be fair, but I get lost in it easily so that use is quite limited. With Gemini protocol I use two browsers. #Lagrange is very beautiful and similar to what you’ll experience with common GUI based web browsers.But Gemini is a completely character based environment, so my favorite browser is Elpher, which suits supports Gopher protocol too. Using that gave me some insight into installing from #Melpa.I find that #Elpher works best for me, since it’s so easy to switch from viewing the rendered #Gemini and #Gopher documents to quickly viewing them as the raw document to see exactly how each page is constructed.So again, yes, I think I’ve been procrastinating on this for far too many years and I’m going to set a few hours each week to learn and work exclusively within Emacs until I am actually, if not proficient then, competent.So, how does Emacs factor into your daily routines? How do you fashion your workflows with it?And thanks for the suggestion!⛵.

Happy Halloween Documents everyone!And a special thanks goes out to Eric S. Raymond:“It was in this meeting that Microsoft executives said they intended to “embrace, extend, extinguish” competing technologies, including Internet standard HTML…”https://www.zdnet.com/article/intel-exec-ms-wanted-to-extend-embrace-and-extinguish-competition/Muahahaha .. Spooky! 🤘💀🤘 #tallship WTF? #Embrace #Extend #Extinguish⛵.

Oh, now there you go!They’re developing a new thang, “…in the open”. What does that even mean? That statement doesn’t even necessarily imply #Open_Source, let alone #FOSS.In about five weeks that initiative will observe it’s 3rd anniversary (11 December 2019), and in all that time, what?It should not be forgotten that this was spawned by the #deprecated, privacy disrespecting, #legacy #monolithic #silo known as Twitter. Not a good place.In the meantime, at least half a dozen fully blown FOSS platforms have been written from scratch and deployed into the Fediverse and enjoying wild popularity and even non #ActivityPub based everything technologies are continuing to emerge everyday.The original idea was to find this into Twatter and beyond. Well, the #Fediverse has about 6 million users and picks up an average of about another 1500 users everyday across it’s entire spectrum.Let’s say #Bkuesky comes up with something workable. Where are they going to plug in, considering they’ve lost their AOL effect (AKA Network Affect) a couple of days ago when #Twatter’s deplorable CEO was fired and escorted off the premises by Security along with that evil bitch Gadde and the CFO…. Where?I’m rather ambivalent, actually, and open to a, “Change my mind!”, scenario. But to make a splash Bluesky is either going to need to be adopted as a protocol by some other successful network(s) or grow organically. At the speed with which FOSS based solutions are moving I think it’s most likely that even if it does have merits, the #FOSS community will just cannibalize the parts it likes while discarding the built in censorship functions and capabilities.Many of the most prominent ActivityPub developers are wholly unimpressed at the mostly minor differences between Bkuesky and ActivityPub, citing that it doesn’t do anything ActivityPub can’t do except for some things they won’t let it do for the sake of the users and their safety.So… No E.E.E. for Bkuesky. In fact, I’m thinking it’s probably going to be D.D.D.Debone. Disregard. Discard.#tallship #privacy #secure⛵.

In the past three years? Well, there’s more than that. Here’s a couple off the top of my head:#smithereen (https://fedidb.org/software/smithereen - like VK)#Epicyon (https://Epicyon.net)#Mitra (https://Mitra.Social - Supports Monero subscriptions for content creators!)#Socialhome#MicroPub (https://microblog.pub/ - cute)GoToSocialQuanta (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxK-ZvGX7B1nCy8Zva_uc7w/playlists)There’s a shitload in that #FediDB database in the first link, and the last link is a pretty mind-blowing Enterprise Fediverse platform I especially like. You’ll certainly wanna give that one a watch with a bucket of popcorn 🍿Hey I’m going to be bringing this server down later today and taking it offline. It’s s beta right now.You can catch me at my #Misskey @tallsip@misskey.de account and I watch my #Friendica @tallship account pretty closely too. Give me a follow there if you like, I accept all follow requests and I don’t wanna lose touch.I’m looking forward to https://Gorf.Social going live with ActivityPub federation!
