I waddled onto the beach and stole found a computer to use.

Note: I’m moderating a handful of communities in more of a caretaker role. If you want to take one on, send me a message and I’ll share more info :)
There are lots of good suggestions already. If you want to explore how the different threadiverse platforms display your posts, look into Lemmy, Piefed, Mbin, and NodeBB.
kbin.social no longer exists but the project has continued as Mbin. For fediverse discussion communities you have !fediverse@lemmy.world (on Lemmy), !fediverse@piefed.social (on Piefed), !activitypub@community.nodebb.org (nodeBB)
Nice! This is still my favourite android client for Jellyfin. Fladder is still too new, and I hit issues whenever I try it.
There are emulators of a lot of old calculators online. Is this one yours?
Relevant bit
The DMCA filing states that several files in the Rockchip MPP repository are derived from FFmpeg’s libavcodec sources. It lists AV1, H.265, and VP9 decoder files, and claims the copied code is clear because of matching structure, comments, and commented-out calls to FFmpeg functions with their original names.
Much of FFmpeg, including libavcodec, uses the GNU Lesser General Public License version 2.1. This license allows reuse, but only if certain rules are followed. These rules include keeping copyright notices, giving proper credit, and ensuring any shared code remains under an LGPL-compatible license.
The DMCA notice says Rockchip broke these rules by removing the original copyright and author details, claiming the copied code as their own, and sharing it under the Apache license, which does not meet LGPL requirements here.
I think the website is old, and the blurry bits were a prediction
The new cycle is expected to start late in 2019 or in 2020, with solar maximum to be reached between 2023 and 2026 and the maximum (smoothed) sunspot number in the 95 to 130 range.
A different color and a legend would have been nicer imo
Appreciate the write-up, thanks!
I found this diagram, and this should mean that the levels will drop by around 2030?
Sounds like they joined a large group chat as a member
The FBI, the documents show, gained access to conversations in a “courtwatch” Signal group that helps coordinate volunteer activists who monitor public proceedings at three New York federal immigration courts. The US government has repeatedly been accused of violating immigrants’ due process rights at those courts.
Hi Sarah,
Sorry for the delay in getting to this. We really appreciate the feedback! We’re currently working on an update to our site, and will continue to incorporate feedback over time.
We’ve iterated over these pages a few times, and while there is definitely more that we can do to improve it, I feel that we need a few different guides for each target demographic or use case. Ideally, someone will find their way to the appropriate resource, depending on the level of detail or transparency that they are looking for. The goal of the two guide pages above were mainly to explain what it is that our non-profit is doing, and how it differs from traditional social media. A lot of alternative social media platforms advertise transparency and a positive user experience, and so the guide pages above were intended for people who want an explanation on how the Fediverse can actually deliver on those promises.
Right now, the page we have for users that simply want to sign up for a platform is here: https://fedecan.ca/en/guide/fedecan/our-platforms
We can certainly improve the flow for users that want to get to that page, and the page itself. We haven’t prioritized that aspect, since we figured that users who are learning about one of the platforms might be going to it directly, instead of through our non-profit’s site.
Would you have some suggestions on what a page like that should include, or what you would like to see in the guides instead?
I have students who can help you with this stuff for free. If you’re interested, DM me.
We’d love the help and feedback, especially if it’s something that would complement their studies! Thank you for offering :)
While I don’t have a direct answer, I know that my university had some courses dedicated to this topic. I think these are some of them:
https://www.students.cs.ubc.ca/~cs-311/2025W1/nav/goals.html
https://www.cs.ubc.ca/course-section/cpsc-411-201-2020w
https://www.cs.ubc.ca/~rxg/cpsc509-spring-2024/
The second one is described as
The goal of this course is to give students experience designing, implementing, and extending programming languages. Students will start from a machine language, the x86-64 CPU instruction set with Linux system calls (x64), and incrementally build a compiler for a subset of Racket to this machine language. In the process, students will practice building, extending, and maintaining a complex piece of software, and practice creating, enforcing, and exploiting abstractions formalized in programming languages.
The course assumes familiarity with basic functional programming in Racket, and some simple imperative programming in assembly.
Those links might give you something to search off of?
And what’s the purpose of developing more languages anyway?
At some level, I think it’s this:
Linux Foundation
The slide people are mentioning
In text:
This is a brief summary of Servo’s project history. The project was started by Mozilla in 2012, at that time they were developing the Rust language itself (somehow Mozilla used Servo, a web rendering engine, as a testing project to check that Rust language was good enough). In any case we cannot consider it really “new”, but Servo is way younger than other web engines that started decades before.
In 2020, Mozilla layoff the whole Servo team, and transferred the project to Linux Foundation. That very same year the Servo team had started the work in a new layout engine. The layout engine is an important and complex part of a web engine, it’s the one that calculates the size and position of the different elements of the website. Servo was starting a new layout engine, closer to the specifications language and with similar principles to what other vendors were also doing (Blink with LayoutNG and WebKit with Layout Formatting Context). This was done due to problems in the design of the original layout engine, which prevented to implement properly some CSS features like floats. So, from the layout engine point of view, Servo is quite a “new” engine.
In 2023, Igalia took over Servo project maintenance, with the main goal to bring the project back to life after a couple of years with minimal activity. That very same year the project joined Linux Foundation Europe in an attempt to regain interest from a broader set of the industry.
A highlight is that the project community has been totally renewed and Servo’s activity these days is growing and growing.
The WPT scores should give an idea of how “ready” it is: https://servo.org/wpt/
It shows that the situation in 2023 was pretty bad, but today Servo is passing more than 1.7 million subtests (a 92.7% of the tests that we run, there are some tests skipped that we don’t count here).
It looks like Social is the platform that released v1, and the other ones are still in various stages of development.
https://docs.bonfirenetworks.org/flavours.html#what-is-a-bonfire-flavour
My understanding is that “Bonfire Social” is very similar to Mastodon, with their own way of implementing certain features, and the other features in their funding campaign are still in development
They launched version 1.0 of a platform similar to and interoperable with Mastodon, and they’re doing a funding campaign for what projects they will work on next.
Also they have some art for those that participate:
The code is a commons, so art is offered as a reward. This campaign includes a limited‑run, hand screen‑printed artwork by Rocco Lombardi, the artist behind Bonfire’s icon and other illustrations.
For context, this is what reddit’s limited automod is like
https://www.reddit.com/r/reddit.com/wiki/automoderator/full-documentation/
I’m sure we can do better. For example, being able to use variables
I’m happy participating as a community member, and stepping up as a mod later on if the team could use some extra help. I don’t mind either way :)
Oh on that note, would it be helpful to lock and redirect !newtopiefed@piefed.ca to that community?
I would say the main thing is being nice and letting people explore, and providing spaces/communities for people to come back and ask questions when they have them. When people bring up issues or suggest things that they want to see, we shouldn’t crap on what they prefer their online experience to be (ex. preferred algorithms, content they want to block, etc.)
Resources wise, we created this guide and I like to link these two particular pages for fediverse/lemmy. I feel that they help give a high level overview of how things work:
It’s working on my end as well!
I got the test messages I exchanged with a friend earlier, but new messages are still stuck
That’s a good point @ImmyJ@lemmy.ca
lemmy.ca and piefed.ca are both compatible and run by the same organization :)
