I really like the ReadYou overall design, but felt the lack of images in the main feed. Is that an option or is it just a thing?

Why do you host FreshRSS and MiniFlux if you don't mind me asking?
You mean the same illusion of decentralisation that the fedi offers?
🧐
Where AP is largely mastodon centric
Centric is not centralised though is it?
identity is tethered to an instance?
But not a central instance or indexer?
Where a user is at the whims of an admin?
Like they have a choice, because it's not centralised
With the networks being so small those admins have more of an impact on everyday users than Musk.
So decentralisation then?
You called others indoctrinated but that’s how you come across and spewing fallacies
Have a good day
The typo in the title is really jarring for me. It's losing, with a single o 🥹
Russian is a PITA and I say that as someone who just wanted to learn a couple phrases to help with gaming. At least I can say spasibo though 😌
Regarding Duolingo, I would really love to find something else to recommend to people. Once people know the basics, I like to recommend Clozemaster, but I'm yet to find stabilizer wheels for getting them going.
While I would love for everyone to defederate from threads, strong-arming people is not the way.
On the 20th of March 2024 (a week ago at the time of this post), version 26.0.0 of Docker was released. There are a number of changes in this release to be aware of, with one in particular causing issues with all versions of Portainer. Our team are working on fixes for this issue, with a 2.20.1 patch release in testing currently for our 2.20 STS branch and due in a week's time, as well as a planned inclusion in our next LTS release (2.21), due in a few months time.
This is what it was! 😱
Meta runs Facebook.
Meta also runs Threads.
Threads runs on top of the ActivityPub protocol.
Some instances federate with Threads.
How is it not relevant if they're willing to buy a company and hijack traffic for numbers, what won't they do when they can just spin up a server and syphon data?
At the beginning I wasn't looking really into it because of their choice of using a new protocol instead of the existing ActivityPub
And yet, here we are with another conversation about something in the wrong place.
As for BlueSky and their illusion of federation, what's to talk about? Anyone can host a server, but all posts need to be indexed by the server of which they're in charge of otherwise they don't appear in anyone's timelines? It's like the emperor's new clothes. They wash their hands of moderation and the majority of hosting costs and you feel empowered, only for them to say, yeah, we're, for example, inserting ads and you need to be okay with that.
Everyday, I read something here about why Facebook or BlueSky are better than what we have. I don't even think the people that post this stuff work for either company. I just think they've been indoctrinated and they don't realise that they're attempting to push us all towards the very things so many of us consciously and determinedly walked away from.
I don't want to be part of a centralised service. Even one that cosplays as federated. I don't want Facebook to have my data nor do I want to interact with any of their services. I personally chose the Fediverse because I liked the values it exhibited and I enjoy the community. Everyday I get to laugh at things, learn things, share things and just be generally entertained. Can the fediverse improve? Sure; But neither Meta nor BlueSky are the solution. I genuinely wish both would piss off.
I really dislike Duolingo, but I found it good for the basics
Thank you. I'm looking at sorting an aggregator out and am leaning towards Miniflux
