@geoma @Tealk I run #Friendica and #pixelfed on an instance of #Yunohost. Just for me, my friends and family. (Gosh I wasn’t sure about the use of the reflexive first person pronoun there). But I guess that it really does depended on what the system requirements are and - taking into account the, engaging with people who are migrating from IG, requirement to. Are thoes people mainly using pixelfed?
@mietkiewski_dev I had to search to see what a #Pomodoro was … interesting - a time management technque - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pomodoro…
@ByteMe Look at publishing it on #fdroid @fdroidorg may be of help.
@frongt Yeah I am trying this. The handlenfor these magazines seem bit odd. I am yet to see if they work…
@JubilantJaguar Yeah … I get that a RSS feed might be useful (being Friendica I can consume that) but then I guess if I commented on a story is it better that it could be linked back - I suspect that these issues might just because of the evolving federation capabilites of Flipboard (I could be wrong) - But yeah maybe in the meantime I might find some RSS from @AssociatedPress
@AssociatedPress Perhaps @admin@flipboard.social could help with advice?
Is this one of thoses cases where a petition might be a starting point?
@palordrolap @brachiosaurus There are a few differences. Governments dont generally make announcements on a particular TV station but usually provide an open access press conference.
Gov.uk is the 17th most visited site in UK in Dec 25- semrush.com/trending-websites/… - plenty of people visit that and its not even all of gov sites.
@palordrolap @rglullis Indeed. You cant even see what a UK government is posting without handing over your data.
@palordrolap @brachiosaurus If they are publishing something … it should be available to everyone. I domtnhave an issue with Meta or X taking a feed (RSS or Activitypub ) of their posts and publishong them ( like a TV or radio programme does.
@palordrolap @brachiosaurus They put it on their website and mention it in their communications. People and journalists sibscribe.
@palordrolap @rglullis @brachiosaurus But generally government officials make announcements at press conferences in government buildings with an open method for press to become acredited and attend. Sure politicians do media appearances - buts thats different - they are normally acting as an individual - effectively as a candidate.
@palordrolap @rglullis @brachiosaurus Government should post things in publoc places but X and Facebook arent public. They are like shopping malls - free to talk into but put restrictions around what you can do, substitute public law for.private contractual agreements and they replace public justice for their abitrary decision making about behalviour and extract costs ( data, tracking, attention sellijg & emotional manulipulation) from visitors. All of these things are bad for citizen involvement.
@Die4Ever Hmm weird . The link didnt come through
@eli Thanks. Appreciate it. I have a VPN configured between the different locations and subnets I have at the moment with a bit if policy based routing to control what can access what… I just bring the remote location back online
@walden This conversation feels like it has taken a dark turn and could be used against me in court one day …but to be clear…houses generally dont have basements in new zealand
@hoppolito Oh cool. Ok. I have plenty to learn there
@geoma Hey … we talked on #Reddit - welcome. ¿Hablas español tambien? Great So I guess the idea would be to get some kind of requirements together.
What system resources do you have?
How important is it that your posts are IG like (that would as people say suggest pixelfed as the default option I am guesssing).
What do you mean by Mastodon feeling ‘kind of heavy’? Do you mean complicated or CPU, memory, storage heavy? - Regardless of what application you are considering the second point is more about who you want to be using the instance. I would strongly recommend that you limit it to friends and family - and for that (regardless of what software you are using) - the requirements aren’t huge.
I’m also going to mention @FediTips - who might be able make some suggestions but yeah … more info please?
