Check in with yourself a few times each day and take a moment to process your thoughts and emotions. Don’t let them build up.

Gab will join the Fediverse next month, and we at @forktogether want to be prepared.
ActivityPub is known to be leaky, so we'd like to take further measures than just suspending Gab's known domains by default.

If you know how exactly Mastodon's ActivityPub implementation leaks information, then we'd highly appreciate your input on this issue: https://github.com/florence-social/mastodon-fork/issues/108

#ActivityPub #Florence

Good Lord, reading “The Spectrum of Consciousness” by Ken Wilber, and so far, it is one of the best books about non-dual awareness that I’ve ever read. Anybody out there still doing the book club thing? This would be a great one

Do you enjoy following someone's own posts, but they boost a lot of stuff you don't care about?

Did you know you can just mute their boosts without muting their posts?

1. Go to their profile page

2. Click on the menu button (the three dots in a column)

3. Click on "Hide boosts from..."

(Note: this only works with Mastodon accounts.)

Keep Mastodon Unmarketable

hey poor people are allowed to buy things that make them feel nice even though they dont need them

uBlock Origin: blocks ads

NoScript Security Suite: blocks content loaded from other domains

Privacy Badger: detects and fights attempts are cross-site user tracking

AdNauseam: randomly sends garbage data back to ad trackers

HTTPS Everywhere: uses SSL/TLS by default with sites known to support it

Decentraleyes: it replaces Google tracker-laden scripts with compatible, trackerless local versions

CanvasBlocker: alters JavaScript when attempts at fingerprinting your browser are detected

Privacy Settings: allows access to various privacy settings without needing to dive into about:config

Oh Also
-At least half of your close friends should not look just like you.

-Befriend women, not just as a token chick friend but legit someone you look to for advice and familial companionship, and protection. We provide all of these things and all you gain is mistrust and emotional distance when you throw those things away in pursuit of a sexual relationship.

If I could give legit 100% serious advice to straight cis dudes:
-If you're able, get therapy. Normalize talking & examining your thoughts & feelings.
-If you feel weird being vulnerable around u'r crew get a new crew. They're not tryna make the life changes you are.
-Is what you're feeling really Anger? Or is it Isolation, is it Abandonment, is it Insecurity, is it Hopelessness? What's the most effective strategy to de-escalate the zenith of those emotions/thoughts?
-Normalize being challenged.

Hello everyone !

📢 🔴 URGENT 🔴

An awesome software is dying, because its #developper has not time anymore to care of it.

It's an alternative of Adobe AfterEffect : Natron (https://natrongithub.github.io/)

Please, can Mastodon community search for a C++ dev, which want to maintain it ? or search for a company which work with free software ? It's very important.

Boost very appreciated

Thanks in advance for your contribution !

@florian @lastfuture @loke @phessler . **Actionable advice:** i.e. what you can do? Go to https://github.com/curl/curl/wiki/DNS-over-HTTPS#publicly-available-servers, choose a server you trust and enter it in the settings (note: no need to mangle with about:config BTW).

Then you get the best security you can get. Encrypted DNS to a server you trust. This is in 99% of the cases better than to your ISP's DNS or whatever is used by default on some routers or so. (hint: often it's Google DNS)

Firefox admits they will eventually be sending all of your DNS to Cloudflare. Cloudflare will monetize your internet browsing, no matter how much their PR people say they are.

If you want to disable that, go to "about:config", and set "network.trr.mode" to 5.

The values are: 0 - default off, 1 - race, 2 TRR first, 3 TRR only, 4 shadow, 5 off by choice

You can avoid #YouTube's weird algorithms and broken subscription system by subscribing to channels through RSS instead. You don't need an account, just a feed reader.

Put the channel's username in this address:

https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?user=USERNAME

You can then add this RSS address to your feed reader app.

For example, OnePotChefShow's RSS feed is:

https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?user=OnePotChefShow

You can also make RSS feeds from channel IDs (strings of letters and numbers):

https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=CHANNELID
