I’m confident his announcement to “leave social media” was an April Fools’ joke.

Hey, how’s it going? Are you still working on it?
Sorry for this huge delay, sometimes RL takes over… I don’t know how relevant it still is. I’ll try anyway.
but if there is some way for people, posts, communities, servers, to opt out then ok.
I think this could pose an issue. Many people in the Fediverse are very sensitive about informed consent — which cannot be satisfied by any opt-out mechanism. This is an issue for every bridge/search service, because with opt-in you will have way less users. I strongly recommend to go for opt-in however, you will be starkly criticized otherwise.
I’m wanting to do this open source, which means anybody can take it, remove the check and scan everything. What are your thoughts about that?
Yes, anybody could do that, or build something from scratch, but will meet strong opposition in the Fediserve, as we’ve seen more than once.
If you know how to query servers, communities, posts or comments on that topic I’m all ears, I’m only doing 50% of that today BTW.
Can’t help here, sorry.
On a side note, where is your 0xCAFE come from? Is it like the stack overflow/ memory error checks like 0xDEAD(or 0xDEADBEEF) and so?
Nope, just a nerd who likes computery stuff like hex numbers and, obviously, coffee. No technical magic number I know of (maybe there still is…?).
They’re talking too much business to be a ‘private’ search. They don’t make any effort to explain how their search is private at all (except the 90/10 share model).
This looks pretty cool!
oh that’s really cool!
Suuuuper late answer, sorry. It is working perfectly for me (FF 122), I’m using Firefox exclusivery. It can be slow sometimes though and take several (tens of) seconds for the web application to load.
My recommendation? No. Don’t.
I’m an ex Windows user, current Linux and Mac user. Keyboard shortcuts on Linux are much closer to Windows conventions compared to macOS. I wouldn’t recommend using a Mac keyboard with Linux. I’d only recommend it if you want to use both Linux and macOS with the same keyboard (you will be happier in this case, because using macOS with a Windows keyboard sucks, vice versa).
If you don’t like the Windows key design, get a keyboard with a custom one.
For browsing on the desktop, I strongly recommend https://phtn.app!
The search is abmyssal in my opinion. I can’t reliably paste links I’ve found elsewhere — always have to manually change it to match the expected community syntax. I only every use it if I have to, and then I resort to search for the community of interest, and use the community view to find a post I’m looking for. Not suited for discovery in my experience.
It may have improved lately though, I wouldn’t know since I’m not using it much.
That’s a long list of changes, wow.
Personally, I’m not considering Vanilla OS just yet. It does too many things in a custom way. I am however keeping an eye on the project, since they have interesting ideas and they’re making progress in the area of immutable distributions (which will be the future I figure).
I second the recommendation to use NTFS. I don’t have the same use cases as OP, but in my experience it works really well. Back in the days when I was using Windows, I had a system and a data partition (i.e. personal files, pictures, videos… you get it). When I switched to Linux, I kept my data partition and just mounted it on my Linux system. I started with dual boot and didn’t have any issues. No need to manually install a NTFS driver these days.
That’s a couple of years ago and my secondary SSD’s still that same old NTFS partition. Thought about moving to a Linux native filesystem, since I don’t use Windows anymore, but never had an actual reason to do it.
oh, Good luck with that. Make sure however to respect the users privacy and indexing preferences. People in the Fediverse are very privacy consious and not everyone likes their post scraped and indexed.
I’d start with the Mastodon docs, it’s a solid resource to get started.
While this chart certainly shows how dominant mastodon.social in the Fediverse is, I like this chart. It also shows how diverse the Fediverse is. For any other social network this graph would be a simple circle. For the Fediverse it shows 38 different servers, and apart from mastodon.social, the distribution seems quite fair.
Very good!
Biggest follower count.
I can’t speak for the BOOX Tab Ultra C directly, but I’m interested in opinions on it, because I’m thinking about buying one as well.
I have the BOOX Note Air though. Overall, I really like it. I use it to read books and learning material, do math exercises and occasionally to draw. I love that it’s smart (full Android, download any app) and dumb (slow, grayscale, don’t get distracted easily) at the same time.
Technically you can use it for browsing the web, however I wouldn’t recommend it. It’ too slow if you want to hop between different sites. It’s only comfortable if you access a specific site to read on for a while. I hope the BOOX Tab Ultra C is faster (I mean it should), but if the web is one of your main use cases, I’d rather go for a proper tablet. Even if the ePaper screen is relatively fast, it’s still too slow to be fun. Since you’re already experienced using ePaper screen, I’m confident you can judge that for yourself though.
My motivation to get an upgrade is mainly the Note Air quickly slows down when drawing anything semi-complex or above. I can recommend it for reading, taking notes and (limited) drawing. For anything else, I recommend a tablet instead.
Time to ungoogle my phone once again. Did it before, reverted it in a stupid move to try out Monster Hunter “Go”; should’ve never done it in the first place. Bye, bye, Google. Go fuck yourself.
I think drive-by (leaning towards off-topic) comments can and should be moderated by the community mods.
This does not sound sustainable at all.
