ThunderSky is one of a growing chorus of Indigenous parents demanding provincial and territorial authorities allow them to bestow Indigenous names on their children — with all the special characters, syllabics, accents, numeric or other non-English or French symbols used by some Indigenous languages.

Who knew typography and font choices would one day have this effect.

This is what “Ease of doing business” leads to.

Before I make the changes, what does that mean in practice? I have an account on Mastodon and it sees posts from baraza communities. I am on lemmy0.14.3 if that helps. Was this nginx config a requirement when updating? I did not see it in the docs, unless it was baked in during the updates.

Did you try to follow Baraza communities via Mastodon? I did see that “Cancel Follow Request” sporadically and now it seems resolved (displaying “Unfollow”). The mastodon federation is still at the community level. I will check in with @nutomic@lemmy.ml on what that means exactly. Is there a role for the remote Mastodon admin to play so that “Cancel Follow Request” move to full “Unfollow”.

Update after 18 hours or so:

This post did not federate to c/Africa on Baraza even though it appears like so on Lemmy.ml. I updated the install from 0.14.1 to 0.14.3 and new posts made from lemmy to baraza did federate. Proximate cause for non-federation could then be different lemmy installations. But I was getting content on Baraza from lemmy, just not posts made directly to communities there.

Even after updating, a post to Baraza from Lemmy is not federating:

• Post on Lemmy to a Baraza community - https://lemmy.ml/c/africa@baraza.africa
• Community on Baraza without recent posts from Lemmy: https://baraza.africa/c/africa

I will observe this issue and probably make a proper issue on Github.

Welcome but please post the Microsoft link to other communities that are interested in those kind of things. This community is about central bank digital currencies.

Roundup, a common plant killer, has also been at the centre of dozens of health related lawsuits. Bayer (and Monsanto previously) have had to pay billions in fines: https://www.npr.org/2020/06/24/882949098/bayer-to-pay-more-than-10-billion-to-resolve-roundup-cancer-lawsuits

Ethiopian highlands (the source of Abaye/Blue Nile) are panoramic. I didn’t know it is one of the highest zones in Africa.

Interesting stuff, which is why there is a new community on central bank digital currencies on baraza: https://baraza.africa/post/9173

Under assumptions, what is the motivation to participate in social activity? Is motivation assumed to be an ontological primitive?

This is an interesting post.

Comment sections are the best/worst parts of the Internet :)

Just awesome.

Is this Transno structure the ‘relational notes’ approach, like a wiki or Zettelkestein something something?

When Jack posted that idea, I remember seeing Christopher Lemmer Webber & Evan Prodromou mention ActivityPub to Jack right there. Oh how this world works :(

I agree. It is hard to see how a centralized powerful entity would cede that power to a decentralized system if their aim is not to turn decentralized communities into name-only but centralized in practice.

Obligatory XKCD

I like the publicity this gives to fediverse. I do not think ignoring existing protocols right from the start inspires hope in as much as Twitter and Harvard do not explicitly mention existing options. I hope I am wrong in the long run.

Twitter (at least their CEO) claimed they were interested in a decentralized form to allow more communities. ActivityPub, Matrix, Status etc were mentioned. But it seems these harvard people would like to build a new one instead of joining and improving the existing.
