They were asking for this, weren’t they?

The editor, Saibal Dasgupta, seems to be a journalist located in India.

Voice of America’s headquarter is in Washington though, so good question.

Yeah, I didn’t doubt that.

Project Liberty’s core mission focuses on decentralizing social networking through an open-source Internet protocol. This technical framework would allow users to maintain ownership of their data and potentially transfer their social connections and content across different platforms. Which is a significant departure from the current system where user data remains locked within individual platforms.

The proposed system would work similarly to email, where users can communicate across different service providers. In this vision, social media users could maintain their connections and content regardless of which platform they choose to use.

His plans sound a lot like the Fediverse

Looks great, gameplay seems interesting and I guess it’s something for my 7yo son, too.

That’s cool. What was your latest find?

We are going for board games all the time. My son is six and he loves them

A robot set for children. The robot is called Dash. It can be programmed with a tablet or laptop using special apps with a neat UI. We had one for two weeks and it was a lot of fun.

While I agree with the article and a lot of comments, I am still active on my Mastodon account and I am enjoying it more than ever.

Disclaimer: I’m a white male westerner working in IT. 😉

A friend of mine works in linguistics and education. He was an avid Twitter user and has since migrated to Bluesky and Mastodon. He says, Mastodon is quite complex and clunky but on Bluesky there’s not much happening in his bubble.

For me, the quality of the conversation and the regional character of my local instance is a big plus on Madison. On Lemmy, I read a lot on international and tech topics, but on Mastodon, the conversation is related more to my countries politics and my region.

So, maybe they lost a lot of users. But the 14% that stayed are a good start for quite a vivid community.

If anyone has questions on how to get something out of Mastodon, ask away or follow me here: mateng@nrw.social.

I use “Self Destructing Cookies” in addition to uBlock, so I can be relatively generous with exceptions as I know cookies will be deleted when I close the browser or after a defined period anyway.

Try Last of Us. It’s very atmospheric and well written.

Loved The Bridge 👍

Where’s the image gone?

Usually, my computers dropped in performance after around 10 years. They might contain parts that are a few years older by that time. So, to be able to use them further, I would suggest a minimum of 15 years.

Would you recommend using it with Ubuntu?

I didn’t even know about these services. It’s fascinating they were relevant for about ten years only. What a good read.

You’re right. But the wording is way off. They should’ve emphasized the playful character of the event more.

Both sites seem to be down by now

I’m not sure, it seems to be a chinese reseller with a lack of privacy. Reddit has some opinions if you search for taptap review.

Ha! F Spez.

I read an article recently about kids not spending much time outdoors anymore. One of the main reasons not mentioned here seems to be that the majority has nice rooms for themselves at home, and they enjoy the time they spend there.

Kids rooms are a lot nicer nowadays, and often they don’t need to share it with a sibling as they might have 30 years ago. Also the amount of toys has risen, I suppose.

Not that this is entirely a good thing. Children need to spend more time outdoors. But let them enjoy their indoor time if they want to.
