Draußen startet der Tag grau.

Ich schreibe manchmal Nachmittags wie der Frühdienst im KH so war,hier nieder. Eigentlich um noch mal selbst zu reflektieren. Aber das so viele von euch das hier interessiert lesen und sogar noch ein Sternchen da lassen, finde ich berührend und habe ich nicht so erwartet 🥹. Vielen Dank dafür 🤗💚

By the way if your Mastodon instance is upgraded to version 4.4 already, you can specify who would be able to quote you're posts when quoting is actually activated (in V4.5).
You can find it under:

I just made this which could also work as a one sheet for posting, sharing IRL community with a couple of edits to reduce text. I have shared this with @stefan.
Let me know your thoughts.

One pager to become a webpage with graphics illustrating the fediverse like a universe & some of the platforms with what they can replace, ie. mastodon replacing twitter as colored planets. Mastodon used as an example to show instances as ‘landmasses on a planet’. And information about what it is, how it works, why to join & what to expect.

Hello #Fediverse. I really enjoyed compiling the list of our favourite albums from 1990 for the #blog so I’ve decided to do it again! This time we are fast forwarding a good few years to 1999! So, any genre at all, what is your one favourite album from 1999? No runners up or honourable mentions. Just one winner! Let me have it.

Sneak peak of the next version of SoraSNS: a Mastodon & Misskey & Bluesky & Pleroma all in one client for iOS.

I have redesigned the UI for most of the screens from ground up for easy access to information and features. A lot of the bugs are also fixed and the responsiveness has been improved.

I’ll submit this update to App Store today!

Those of you using @openvibe do you have accounts for @bsky.app , @Mastodon , Threads and Nostr and use OpenVibe to aggregate and post to them all or are you mainly using one or two different platforms? Currently I'm using BlueSky and Mastodon#socialmedia #fediverse

This pretty much sums up my #fediverse experience:
‘Tuckers nuts boosted ADHDean saying “it’s the weekend, beige bitches.”’

Yep. Just a Friday night on mastodon. I love it here.

Alt...

A screenshot of someone whose name field says “tuckers nuts resist” and an Ukraine flag, boosts ADHDean saying in all caps “it’s the weekend beige bitches.” This pretty much happens every Friday night. 😜

Biking is fun!

I think I ended up using #Linux because I'm impressionable and bow down easily to peer pressure from the #Fediverse

In fact, Fedi has taught me lots of bad habits, like caring about data privacy and hating AI all the time.

@Mer__edith sounds the alarm on Agentic AI ⚠️

“AI that acts” present real-world risk when prompts, outputs, or metadata leak.

You can't guarantee privacy when you cede permissions to agentic systems.

Full story in the replies.

#AgenticAI #InferencePrivacy #AIEthics #Fediverse

@confsec @Mer__edith An alarm worth responding too... If your system can act for users but you can still see their prompts, it's not agentic—it's just exposed.

I’ve been doing some thinking on how the #fediverse, the #opensocialweb etc relate to other causes, like #privacy, or #dataportability, or #digitalsovereignty, even the #righttorepair. It appears that ultimately they all want similar things for the users of technology:

More Digital Freedom.

Some people have been using this term for a long time, I’m thinking of adopting it to describe the broader cause. Thoughts?

there are so many #fediverse clients I have them in folders

I've made a @newsmast channel for Fediverse development updates. It only contains official platform accounts to keep the feed focused.

Hint - create a new Mastodon List called "Fediverse Platforms", then check the "Hide from Home/Following timelines" option. Add @fedidevs to the list.

Sorry, but no! The #Fediverse is so awesome 😉

Okay here is my very simple concept for a #FediCard - a "business card" that encourages people to join the #Fediverse and links to @_elena 's explanatory video.

My idea is that people can hand these out at #protests, political organizations, and so forth - where politically active people gather who already have had bad experiences with commercial social media.

The back side could be customized further to list an instance which is most relevant to the place where you want to share them - for example, I want to print a variant for the gruene.social #Mastodon instance.

I will certainly try to apply my meagre #design skills to make this more appealing, but first I wanted to hear what you all think of this concept, and what your suggestions for improvement are.

(Note: If you want to play around with the design, I have made it available in #SVG / #Inkscape format. The template has the 85 x 55 mm size for European business cards, so you will want to adjust it for other regions.)

A question for #Fediverse devs: I’m thinking about better ways to document development of the #ActivityPub stack. This would include explanations, demo code, example snippets, and various sections explaining how to build a fully working Fediverse server, with consideration for all of the FEP documents as well.

What do you, as a developer, feel is currently missing? What information would make your life a lot easier?

Reporters and writers that are looking for independence should be building on platforms that give them true independence. @mathewi closing remarks in this piece say it all!

"Ghost, for its part, is close to rolling out full integration with the fediverse, which will allow publishers to make their publications a standalone portal to federated applications and networks such as Mastodon. The open web can be the future of publishing if we put our minds to it!"

Tiny reminder that it's important
to boost posts on Mastodon!

Liking only will not help a post being seen more. Boosting will! ✨

Boost the posts you want others to see. Add hashtags to your posts to help others find them.

This is the Fediverse way

#Mastodon #Fediverse

My post blew up, thanks to some high rollers follower-wise 😹

I always get a few nay-sayers sliding into my notifications, going on about "no interactions", "no traction", "not social", "no appeal" nonsense. How do you explain these comments and likes every other second then? You should follow more than 20 people here.

Fediverse is still the most lively social network I have ever used, since MySpace in 2003. It is better than Twitter or any commercial social media platform ever was. Absolutely love being here.

The most profound thing about it is the international coverage. After the first wave of enshittification in 2010, algorithms took over, and suddenly as a polyglot I was labeled as Finnish. No more visible international posts, people only saw the Finnish ones.

I've noticed the same effect in commercial AI. It ignores the fact that I use English online 99% of the time and still replies to me in Finnish despite all instructions. Algorithms and AI label you. They assign you a language, a status, a certain type of person. There's no changing that.

The Fediverse and Mastodon are delightfully mine, yours, and truly open source - respecting privacy. Nobody's machine can tell you, "You are this, and this is why we do that."

Fuck labelers and the fog machines. Let me be me. Here, on my own server, I can embrace my weirdness and post however I want, how often I want, whenever I want, in whatever language I choose - without constantly worrying about how my identity will be perceived by a machine.

Tiny Mastodon Tip About Quote Posts 📢

If your instance is already running the newly released version Mastodon 4.4,

Know that in preparation for the full implementation, the team has included a consent setting for the upcoming Quote Post feature.

While quoting a post will not
be available as a native feature until Mastodon 4.5 later this year, it's wonderful that you can adjust if you want in or not before it even arrives!

HOW TO❓

1. From the web interface, go to "Preferences" on the right-side menu. Then click on "Other" under the "Preferences" section

2. If your instance was newly updated, you should now see an option in "Posting Defaults" for "Who can quote" (see image below) 👇

Note: If the option isn't there, your instance has not updated to the version including it yet. Be patient, it will likely be added in the weeks to come.

3. From the "Who can quote" drop-menu, you can choose either "Everyone", "Followers and mentioned users", or "Only mentioned users"

4. Once the next version is released, you will be ready for Quote Posts! No matter your choices 💪

5. Enjoy the freedom of choosing the features you wish to participate in (or not)! 😌✨

For more information on Quote Posts, you can read Mastodon's announcement blog about it here: https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2025/02/bringing-quote-posts-to-mastodon/

#unpopularopinion

This kind of "side-by-side" comparison between apps is something that in my unpopular opinion makes the worst for the #fediverse

Here we are doing our best to deliver the same experience with different software platforms.

The only legitimate question any average social media user would ask would likely be: "why"?

Why should I trust any random and mostly unknown admin among thousands of unknown ones instead of an organized and staffed multinational company?

The Fediverse is built on personal trust, by humans, for humans, on shared values and with respect for people on mind.

We should not offer an amateurish imitation of billion-dollars networks, but something totally different in allowance, in networking, in experience. We should create ourselves a new way of doing it. Someone is working on that, someone is just running after the remains of now decayed monsters, others think that they can get a share of the pie.

Alt...

Poster containing fediverse alternatives for popular centralized social media.

A friend asked me recently what makes the #Fediverse such a good place to live digital life.

I had to think about it for a while, but I think it has to do with the fact that we all - in our own way - want to escape the toxic lock-ins of #BigTech, and that this is only possible if others come along.

So I feel that every interaction on the Fediverse - a boost, a favorite, a reply - is by default already a little exchange of mutual thank you's: thank you for contributing to the escape.

#Mastodon #Fediverse #CIM #UpdateLog #OpenSource

Just when you thought things were settling down… boom 💥 — the ActivityPub plugin gets another big upgrade. Say hello to version 7.0.0, a release packed with new features, polish, and under-the-hood improvements to help your WordPress site federate smoother, smarter, and more securely than ever.

Let’s dive into what’s new.

Following the Fediverse

We’ve added the initial building blocks for Following support — both sending and managing follow requests for remote actors. It’s not in the UI just yet (we’re rolling it out carefully), but that’s not far away. A big step toward richer, two-way federation.

We’ll work with developers of third-party plugins — including those behind Friends and Event Bridge — to migrate their custom follow implementations to this new core feature. This collaboration helps ensure a consistent, reliable follow experience across the ecosystem.

This foundational support for following is also the first step toward a full-featured reader experience right inside WordPress — something we’re excited to keep building toward.

Refined Signature

This release brings support for RFC-9421-style HTTP signatures, both incoming and (optionally) outgoing. That’s a mouthful, but it basically means supporting the latest standard in how we verify and send activities — including a fallback to good old Draft Cavage when needed.

Check out the blog post to learn more: HTTP Signature Upgrades Coming Soon

Full Changelog

Added

• Added basic support for handling remote rejections of follow requests.
• Added basic support for RFC-9421 style signatures for incoming activities.
• Added initial Following support for Actors, hidden for now until plugins add support.
• Added missing “Advanced Settings” details to Site Health debug information.
• Added option to auto-approve reactions like likes and reposts.
• Added support for namespaced attributes and the dcterms:subject field (FEP-b2b8), as a first step toward phasing out summary-based content warnings.
• Added support for the WP Rest Cache plugin to help with caching REST API responses.
• Documented support for FEP-844e.
• Optional support for RFC-9421 style signatures for outgoing activities, including retry with Draft-Cavage-style signature.
• Reactions block now supports customizing colors, borders, box-shadows, and typography.
• Support for sending follow requests to remote actors is now in place, including outbox delivery and status updates—UI integration will follow later.

Changed

• Comment feeds now show only comments by default, with a new type filter (e.g., like, all) to customize which reactions appear.
• Consistent naming of Blog user in Block settings.
• hs2019 signatures for incoming REST API requests now have their algorithm determined based on their public key.
• Likes, comments, and reposts from the Fediverse now require either a name or preferredUsername to be set when the Discussion option require_name_email is set to true. It falls back to “Anonymous”, if not.
• Management of public/private keys for Actors now lives in the Actors collection, in preparation for Signature improvements down the line.
• Notification emails for new reactions received from the Fediverse now link to the moderation page instead of the edit page, preventing errors and making comment management smoother.
• Plugins now have full control over which Settings tabs are shown in Settings > Activitypub.
• Reworked follower structure to simplify handling and enable reuse for following mechanism.
• Screen options in the Activitypub settings page are now filterable.
• Setting the blog identifier to empty will no longer trigger an error message about it being the same as an existing user name.
• Step completion tracking in the Welcome tab now even works when the number of steps gets reduced.
• The image attachment setting is no longer saved to the database if it matches the default value.
• The welcome page now links to the correct profile when Blog Only mode was selected in the profile mode step.
• Unified retrieval of comment avatars and re-used core filters to give access to third-part plugins.

Fixed

• Allow interaction redirect URLs that contain an ampersand.
• Comments received from the Fediverse no longer show an Edit link in the comment list, despite not being editable.
• Fixed an issue where links to remote likes and boosts could open raw JSON instead of a proper page.
• Fixed a potential error when getting an Activitypub ID based on a user ID.
• HTTP signatures using the hs2019 algorithm now get accepted without error.
• Improved compatibility with older follower data.
• Inbox requests that are missing an algorithm parameter in their signature no longer create a PHP warning.
• Interaction attempts that pass a webfinger ID instead of a URL will work again.
• Names containing HTML entities now get displayed correctly in the Reactions block’s list of users.
• Prevent storage of empty or default post meta values.
• The amount of avatars shown in the Reactions block no longer depends on the amount of likes, but is comment type agnostic.
• The command-line interface extension, accidentally removed in a recent cleanup, has been restored.
• The image attachment setting now correctly respects a value of 0, instead of falling back to the default.
• The Welcome screen now loads with proper styling when shown as a fallback.
• Using categories as hashtags has been removed to prevent conflicts with tags of the same name.
• When verifying signatures on incoming requests, the digest header now gets checked as expected.

Mastodon's latest version has the ability to fetch missing replies from a conversation (under an experimental flag, not enabled by default).

This is a big deal, especially for smaller instances. Mastodon joins other platforms - of which I know of: Streams, GoToSocial, IceShrimp.NET and Bonfire - that pull back replies on request.

The hard work on the backend is done, and now there needs to be a discussion about how this interaction works as part of the user experience.

@jill @heiseBotti @fediverse

No, it isn't. But that doesn't make something part of the #Fediverse, does it? Try following someone with a Peertube-account for example. I dind't find a way, yet it's still a part of the #Fediverse..

I'd say: Fediverse = "connected via ActivityPub"

@EloPup @heiseBotti @fediverse

The #Fediverse is something technical ("connected via ActivityPub"), anaything else would be very difficult and highly subjective.

@Flax_vert

Fair point (about #Lemmy).

Bridged accounts from #Bluesky on the other hand are part of the #Fediverse, as far as I understand it.

I have now found 1070 verified accounts from media organizations in the #Fediverse, but only on #Mastodon, #Flipboard, #Threads, #Bluesky, #Ghost and #Peertube.

Just one is on #Sharkey (👋🏻 @heiseBotti) and none on #Pixelfed, #Lemmy, #Piefed, #Misskey & Co. Are there really none there, or did I miss some?

This is a really great read by the @bonfire team. As someone who has done all kinds of experiments with long-form articles and publishing directly on the #Fediverse, there are a number of headaches and hurdles we still need to figure out.

My overall philosophy is this: rather than adapting existing content management systems to use ActivityPub federation, it’s preferable to build a CMS for the Fediverse, with explicit considerations for how the instance and the network should interact with each other. Everything, from the dashboard to side-effects of interaction, should be designed with federation considerations in mind.

For today's #ThankYouTuesday, I'd like to thank everyone who supports the Fediverse. So, that means *you*. Yes, you, the one reading this.
Thank you!

The Fediverse truly is for everyone: if you don't have the skills or means to set up your own instance, you can join one of the public instances that aligns with your aspirations. If you can and want to, you can create your own instance, and thanks to lightweight (and interoperable) software, you can do it with spare hardware or very affordable VPS.
So thank you to all of you, friends of the Fediverse!

🚨 Mastodon 4.4.0 is out now! 🐘
Lots of new features & fixes - but watch out when updating!

👉 This time, a simple 'docker compose pull && docker compose up -d' won’t be enough!

Make sure to read the release and update notes carefully:

this is awesome @grunfink !!!

If I worked on a way for people to Self-Host there own instance by resetting it up like I'd self-host at mine but then give them the device so they don't have to pay monthly fees, Do you think people would pay for that?

Got an interesting problem here.

I created a Pixelfed account ages ago, perhaps a year, @missingbrighton@pixelfed.social which I subsequently deleted. It wasn’t for me.
Recently I created @missingbrighton@gram.social to see if Pixelfed was anymore suited, but it wasn’t. I have deactivated this account.

But both accounts are still visible in a search and appear to be active.
Can someone see if they can see the circled accounts, so I know who to contact.
Thank you ☺️

A screenshot from a user shows that: Proletarian Rage @prolrage todon.nl This profile has been hidden by the moderators of mastodon.social.

Odd. Noticed that when viewing @mosseri from Mastodon his last post was on April 23, despite posting on Threads many times since and within the last 24 hours.

And if I follow him from here, his account doesn't show under my following list, despite indicating that I'm following on his profile.

Glitch? Intentional? How many other federated @threads accounts are like this? (Other threads.net accounts that I'm following seem okay.)

#Mastodon #Threads #fediverse

More odd behavior…

If a Threads user with Fediverse sharing enabled mentions @mosseri in a post the link to his account fails, but will open in a browser / the Threads app.

Mentions from Mastodon successfully link to his account.

There's a certain level of privilege and comfort required to share where you're walking - particularly on a federated server.

Women and people from vulnerable communities need privacy. I'm not either, but I work for a newsroom that reports on the government, and there's absolutely no way I'm sharing my location online anymore.

I don't know that we should be encouraging people to share identifiable information onto the public #fediverse right now. Let's build much stronger privacy first.

I am looking for experts/#developers who are familiar with #ActivityPub and who might be willing to chat with me.

I have started talking with parts of my network (mainly in D and NL), about how we could make the #Fediverse more interesting for content providers and main stream media. This also means attracting ordinary users to join and to find fair and simple ways to support content providers (without #paywalls).
I have some ideas, but now need more expertise and a deeper look under the hood.

It’s been a minute since I’ve posted regularly around here — some of y’all might’ve been wondering where CybersecKyle disappeared to. 😅 Don’t worry, I’m still here!

Life’s just been... a lot lately.
School is grinding me down — only 8 classes left until graduation, but the mental load is no joke. It's exhausting.

Work has me tapped out too. My days are so full I barely get time to check socials, let alone catch up on my RSS feeds. 😩

By the time I get home, I’m completely wiped. All I want to do is crash in my chair and zone out with some mindless TV — no phone, no scrolling, just… off.

And on top of that, personal and family stuff has been a bit of a rollercoaster. Mentally, it’s felt like a constant storm.

Honestly, I haven’t had much motivation for anything lately. But I’m hoping to break out of this funk soon.

@Thomas

Das ist mir auch schon aufgefallen. #SaveSocial ist natürlich trotzdem eine sehr sinnvolle und unterstützenswerte Aktion.

Aber wenn @campact schon der erste Eintrag in der Liste der Unterstützer:innen ist (noch vor @marcuwekling und @digitalcourage), dann wäre das schon auch ein guter Anlass das Menü zu überarbeiten und mindestens einen #Fediverse-Dienst mit unterzubringen.

Vielleicht hilft es da auch, wenn @bjoernsta das beim nächsten Meeting anspricht. 😉

Mastodon (and other Fedi software) should stop stripping the C2PA manifest from the EXIF of uploaded media.

In the long run there are lots of good C2PA things to be done, but for now, just get out of the way and let the emergent ecosystem of tools work with it.

Probably best as an opt-in, although in all the software I've seen, to get C2PA in your images you have to explicitly request it, so one assumes anyone who does that and shares wants to share the provenance too.

Finally got through the process of downloading my old Facebook and couple of Instagram accounts data today. Pretty extensive! Had wait several days on Facebook alone.

Just clicked to confirm deletion of ALL my Meta accounts and couldn't be happier!

I have also mostly finished moving all +200 online accounts using my various gmail and outlook emails over to Proton Mail aliases! Coming for you next Google and Microsoft, so watch out!

It's hard work, but take back your data, privacy, and peace of mind from these oligarchs that profit from your doomscrolling!

How can a regular guy support #mastodon and the #fediverse in any form?

I've been invited to speak at another conference later this year, and it's a pretty big one!

I'm applying for my passport, and will put my fear of heights aside to give another talk and help bring awareness to our amazing #fediverse

2025 has been a huge year for me and our projects, and it's going to get even wilder 🚀

Guten Morgen #fediverse
Jetzt sitze ich schon seit fast zwei Stunden hier auf #Balkonien und habe vor lauter Aktivitäten (lesen, gucken, sinnieren) vergessen, meinen Morgengruß zu entbieten!
Men möge es mir nachsehen.
19°C, 72% Luftfeuchte, mittelgrauer Himmel, mittlerweile steter Landregen.
Dennoch besuchen ein paar kleine Erdhummeln die nur wenigen übrigen Blüten vom Herzgespann.

Story:

Preface; I'm always inspired by Writers who emit Fantastic Energy.
I've read so many books that I am a walking encyclopedia.

Chapter One

It is a warm moist early morning

The time is Zero Two Thirty, the pre-ride check of the truck has just been completed.

The Man engine is purring; everything sounds the way it should

The revolutions per minute are with in speck, all pressures and temperatures are normal

The trailers, Yes trailers, plural, have all pressures at normal levels, from the Breaking System to the monitoring system, to the telemetric system, which tells the steering automation how much degrees minutes and seconds they should react based up on the stearing column of the truck.

This road train is massive, eleven trailers. No they're not heavy, they have a cargo of which only eleven tons are allowed safely in one trailer.
Keep this number in mind Eleven to the power of Two.

I climb into the truck. I'm in full PPE
Everything from underwear to the coat in the outer layer, is pure PPE, all the way up to the balaclava on my head
My helmet is integral; my visor shows all extra telemetric data for which I only need to flick my eyes in a certain direction. My cockpit is extended by the helmet information in the heads up display.

The moment I am in the seat the sensors of the truck detect the pressure the mass and the motion of my Corpus. The life support system immediately makes micro changes to the seats the angle so that I have a perfect 360° View of everything surrounding the road train.

I slightly depress the clutch, put it in the first of sixteen gears, a special gearbox, for a special super sized Man truck, which generates more than eight thousand six hundred newton meters of torque, a gearbox connected to an engine which is more than seven times the size of a normal two thousand four hundred Newton meter engine.

A normal click, dampened by the advanced dampening system, goes through the cabin; the truck is in First Gear

As I slowly release the clutch I gently caress the gas pedal, GRRRannnggg roars the engine.

Slowly the truck starts to move, slight resistance occurs when the pressure of the connected trailers is brought into perfect unison and balance. That procedure goes with a couple of heavy clangs, as the steel connects with the pulling forces of this massive machine.

The First Gear of course, is a fast one. Because of many of years of experience, I don't need to depress the clutch again to get into the next gear. It's a matter of feeling the gears,as they rotate in an asynchronous manner in the gearbox, in relation to the rotation of the engine.

Due to the massive size of the road train, even though the roads which I'm are on are wide, a support group consisting of normal sized trucks, fast intercept cars, along with specialized military forces to protect the convoy, is part of this Integral Group which moves this valuable set off on Undisclosed Loads

As I go through all the gears, now constantly monitoring on a level of a Analog 747 Pilot, going through all the dials in a scan sequence, which is vital, constantly checking the rotations per minute in relation to the oil pressure, monitoring the air pressure of the braking systems and the temperature, the sequence commences

GRRRannnggg, shift, pneumatic release, gas, RPM interval Climb, next...

As slowly but surely the speed goes up to the cruising speed of 124km/h yes you've read that right a hundred and twenty four kilometers per hour, everything is going Smooth

End of Chapter One

Chapter Two
When I reached 124 km an hour, while I was constantly monitoring all parameters in my cockpit I, noticed something peculiar, something that I've known about this particular Man truck.

When ideal parameters are in place it's like the truck is singing a Mantra to me.

Normally I would whiff it off like just imagination due to the manner in which all engine parts resonate in perfect Harmony in combination with the cabin, with the steering column, with the clutch which I hardly use, with the gear shifter, a massive piece of stainless steel and everything else in the train, which now consists of eleven trailers, one of the largest road trains that I have moved.

In this case however the Mantra sounded familiar

It was a Mantra by Kaal Bhairav, a powerful incarnation of Lord Shiva.

I've encountered and enchanted this Mantra so often, that I not just know it by heart, I immediately recognize the Mantra within less than a second. Why was my truck resonating Kaal Bhairav Mantra to me?

When you are at cruising Speed in a road train you become A Captain Of The Train You press the button which keeps The truck at A certain speed interval. When you've lifted your foot slightly of the gas, never totally remove it from the pedal, you do the standard instrument scan which you also learned when you flew the analog Boeing 747 aircraft, with so many dials, that you needed an engineer to assist you with that as a captain, wish you wins and repeat while never ever losing your concentration.

The Mantra is one where you ask Kaal Bhairav, to be by your side, if necessary to be very close by your side, to fight and win a Massive War, which was brought upon you by enemies so close in your family, that it's unbelievable.
After incarnating the mantra for 108 times, the energy is released in total towards all of your enemies who are vaporized, wiped of everywhere in time space, their Atmas destroyed and brought back to the Creator of the Universe

Then I realized why why the engine was resonating the Mantra and it's lower harmonics. You see this Man truck has always had some special features. It's always in the lower harmonics that the the truck seems to send extra information to words me. The load eleven trailers with eleven tons, has special significance in meaning in the whole of the movement of absolute energy and absolute power.

You see a Mystical High Master has cracked the code to Infinite Energy, translated down to the special materials in the trailers. Forces which do not like it that the species of Homo Sapiens has this power, want to approach the road train and destroy the load. That's what the truck is warning me about.

Chapter Three:

I was prepared for The Fight that was coming up. In fact a Massive War was brewing. Now regular Driver would not be able to read the harmonics that my truck used to send the data

I am no regular driver. I'm also never alone. I rallied the troops my Forces of Defense the first ones I sent out were the scouts. Since every operation I do is in quantum all the data seems to come back at once, when you only know Time and Space a separate entities. I know knew where they were the enemy I know from which directions they were coming. The truck roared again GRRRannnggg, because I was gearing down. A corner was coming which I do not take with a speed higher than 89 km an hour, with the road train of this size. I call me invoked the retarder, which kicked in smoothely, slowly bring the speed down. As I increased it's Forces the speed came down faster. Using the retarder and gearing down on a Road Train, works much differently than when you just have one to three trailers behind you. This is an actual train on the road your truck works like a locomotive. Mass is slow, and even though the Breaking Systems on the trailers are perfectly synchronized and communicate, a reaction delay in time is unavoidable due to the Mass of the train a a segmented singular body.
The typical noises of the Forces and the vibrations went through the truck. The clangs of the connecting rods and when I finally invoked it the sound of the pneumatic braking system, all came in Perfect Harmony as I slowed the massive train down to 89km / hour.
It was a right corner as you know, the drive shaft always pushes your truck slightly to the right, due to Pure Physics and mechanics. As compensation you make sure that you're slightly pull back on your steering column as you hang to the right knowing that your trailers will also react slowly. The corner was taken without the hitch; I had about 54 seconds before the other Corner was coming

End of part 1 chapter 3

Note:
I will not continue in the same post to make this a full story, because the propagation is way to slow. Instead I'll use the original story as a pointer towards the new toot that I will make so that everyone can see it through the whole FediVerse

Hallo, ich bin #neuhier als stille_post@sueden.social (aber nicht neu im #Fediverse.)

Mit diesem Account schreibe (oder rante) ich über den Bürokratie-Wahnwitz im deutschen Pflegesystem aus Angehörigen-Sicht, vermutlich ziemlich subjektiv.

Aus naheliegenden Gründen versuche ich mich in Anonymität zu hüllen ...

🚀🤖 Future, forged.
“Docking Protocol: R-1580” is where speed meets sentience, and machines dream of more than just motion.

As a part of my book about the Fediverse it might be good to write 'a brief history of the Internet' as one of the chapters explaining how Social Media and internet as a whole changed over time, along with how things like that little event in 2001 change the internet for better or worse.

What do you think of this idea? Should it be apart of the Fediverse book or should I stay away from it? Let me know your thoughts?

Are Pixelfed planning to integrate with Funkwhale or similar to allow music to be inserted into posts, like IG? It makes sense to me to upload a soundtrack to posts containing photos. @dansup @funkwhale

PT-BR

Será que está nos planos do Pixelfed uma integração com Funkwhale ou afins pra permitir inserção de música nos posts, a exemplo o IG? Pra mim faz sentido carregar uma trilha sonora nos posts contendo fotos.
