Lack of education might the downfall of any profession, but over-education can also leave common people behind where those common people need time, space and people to practise with at least in the understanding simply.
A simple bridge which professionalism in it's own container seems to avoid doing by nature possibly related to profit or in the container of profit entities.
I added Mastodon Wordpress Autopost to #delightful #ActivityPub developer resources list
"A #Wordpress plugin that automatically posts your new articles to #Mastodon"
NOTE: The project is looking for a new Maintainer!

#LOCKS and a METAPHOR FOR #SECURITY: It's not a bug, it's not a vulnerability it's just BY #DESIGN the default deliberately badly designed products...
It's a feature (*for them*) and business as a lock or security maker or as a lock / security business (legalised lock pickers / locksmiths when you lose your key, less than 10seconds with quite simple tools just not known by people ).
For them it's to be able to 'break' security easily / charge 100's for opening locks (worse on a Sunday as it's x2 and the guy advised to charge the few hundred euro to insurance, mentioning it while making the claim that there was evidence of tampering or force) and just that kind of shitty security for my uncle letting the wind close the door behind him (apartments lock when door is closed by default and have no knob to turn) - more by obscurity safe than anything on purpose secure this video shows and not worth the money for the same barrel or mechanism almost since it's invention, just better looking locks or better housing (waste of metal basically).
So primarily by design, things are flawed as I see it as this mentality is copied or enforced everywhere... and they don't want the domestic public to really have anything unbreakable...
Flawed stuff for money and control - sound familiar - is it conspiracy or group of people who agree to design bad tech?
YES!!

Almost all locks on the market and are:
- security by obscurity
- designed with backdoors if not bad already
- deliberate-by-design
And for #software and #InfoSec maybe similar perhaps so a website for that
- defective by design . org [Media Locking]

I guess computing and all Technology is regulated by the same source and copy of mentality (copied and enforced by source / top hierarchy depending on how far back you dig into who is responsible for the same shit everywhere)
Just found at another instance -- and think this is a really important development.
Fedisearch.com allows Full Text Searches on fedinet posted content -- from Mastodon, Pleroma, Misskey instances.
In Mastodon instances, Full Text Search is VERY RARE in my experience. It's available at qoto.org, and one reason I have recommended people to keep an account there if their main account does not provide it.
Even Elite instances have this option turned OFF (to save processor cycles and memory). Silly, because they could support that easily.
Now we have an external search Engine and it works. Tested briefly and found results I knew would be there, shown as expected.
Kudos for a much needed service and thank you to @fedisearch !

Direct Messages are accidentality to self (user forgets to add name or misspells it which is easy to do).
So a symbol or box or exclamation or self note system can show message is just sent to self and not to anybody
Often people think it's sent (but not to anyone else by self so distinguishing can be very useful for catching mistakenly send messages to self)
Also wrote more here about how to check it yourself (like double-checking):

"Show More" button like we have now with CW button but withOUT the CW status:)
To make posts shorter and titles expandable without CW status.
Seems most of the code is already there.

HELP! I have this bug on the footer of the desktop compose panel... Anyone else got this err happy being which dances around with good music? (this is just some humour)

Hi fediverse! Boosts appreciated on this one.
I’m part of a co-op building a platform for artists to sell art without getting exploited. I’ve been working on it for a while but there’s a lot of work to do and I could use some help. A ton of the main features are in place, but there’s still some big gaps and a lot of polish left before it can launch.
The platform is fully open source and developed in the open. It’s built on Phoenix/Elixir and Tailwindcss. Our co-op is already incorporated and established and it’s open to members that want to actually commit but you don’t need to be a member to contribute or help.
Does this sound interesting? I’d love some help! I’m also happy to answer questions. And no, you don’t need to know Elixir already. It’s pretty easy to learn for the things you’d be using it for. Even some design help would be welcome. Feel free to reply here or DM me!

I've been toying with a project idea as of lately. Despite working in information security I'll never be 'cool' - I'm not a malware analyst, my threat intelligence skillset is highly limited, I won't ever produce amazing security tools like other people. I've accepted that.
But, what I can do: Support others at doing all of these things. I know what hassle it can be to want to get a website for your cool projects up and running, but not really knowing where to start, and how.
Or being in the position of not being able to afford reasonable hosting that's not a horrible freemium-hoster that sells your data and bombards your readers with ads (Yes, I am indeed looking at you Medium).
I thought to myself to offer people sort of a one-stop-shop for basic Internet needs. Shell-access to run tools, mail-account with a domain that's not GMX, live.com or something like that and the ability to host their blog, journal, website and so on. Free of charge.
Concept-wise it would be similar to the Tildeverse, with the difference being that I would try to help out folks with setting up whatever they have issues with & with the offering specifically targeted at, but not limited to, groups that are otherwise often at a disadvantage (for example beginners, young people, groups that suffer discrimination).
I've not yet fully sketched out everything, but I wanted to hear what people think. My reach within the Fediverse is highly limited, so I would much appreciate any boosts and / or feedback. So I can find out if this would actually be useful to anyone. :)
Make your own private music and podcast streaming service with Nextcloud Music:
https://growyourown.services/review-of-music-app-for-nextcloud
Overall this was really nice!
You need to supply the music files and podcast addresses yourself, but once that's done you get a proper private, independent streaming service that also works on mobile apps.
BTW, do check out @powderpaint, especially their album Powderpaint and track Constellation

It's about changing / opening our minds...
I give people time and I thnk that's the difference to others online who really don't have or give time and give up on people really easy... (don't mean to be competitive, no put-downs, just I more dedicate time to others and weave us together).
So you don't even have to read any of this because EVERYTHING needs time + communication and without that a lot is broken and even less human even if it's for good...
Just follow and put notifications on to TEST MY FEED.... the rest below is just over-info for most poeple.
Open Learning School or Freedom University...
------------------------------------
A lot you might be at length and depth, but if you're easy about it, you can take the best and even take me along to understand life with others!
To learn and do everything practically! (this is a practical living (and gets stuff done as much as we can).
Fan of Fediverse!
Quick Look - peace-loving work / services:
█ Mini-Podcast (few mins each, examples below)
█ Picture remixes / video remixes
█ Lessons without being too 'teacher' about it. Teacher has teeth for eliminating doubt.
█ Food for thought as gentle soul also.
█ Unique ideas - often impossible for professionals (they are burdened by financial repsonsibility and therefore associational risk in saying things). I'm more diverse and occasionally direct (with respect, though I don't shy away from reminding people).
█ Not too embarrassing to say "I don't know" but can still chase things.
█ More responsive than casual users usually because people think having 'job' is enough in life. I say it's not! And even faimily is of no use if it's only getting worse (in everything!).
Podcast Examples:
1. Gary Ackerman's thoughts on AI
https://qoto.org/@freeschool/111867522723922385
2. The Little Prince book
https://qoto.org/@freeschool/111845561003150354
3. Fantasy genre from a fan's perspective

I help people create audio / edit educational audio / podcast / music / visual short videos / transcript text
+ I like to add a bit humour while being quite strict in my own politics (opinions) but open / inviting for others to tell me what I should do if they can explain more than just a short comment (I don't mind it's healthy for me at least if you have logic and can stand yourself explaining).
FreeSchool is about Learning towards Freedom (which is about Uniting everyone slowly, even "1 by 1"... Easy with The Fediverse!
Not virtue signalling here only, but practise of EVERYTHING as we go. Judged by getting in contact (many have) and having courage to communicate (or seeking it from others is ok, EVERYONE needs a bit of courage or hand-holding to make big personal changes). Who else is there for example if family doesn't understand?
Learning and watching can be good and staying out of people's way, BUT better is doing something every day and helping each other with some tough decisions / lessons... and then being bold enough to do them. 1... 2... 3 that is all that's needed.
Let my posts do most of the talking.
Put me on notification (click bell that appears after follow ia accepted) and if it's not interesting switch off after and tick me off the list of potential people to follow daily!
Media version of my posts here... open link for later... good for visual scrolling version and judge me on that I don't mind...
https://qoto.org/@freeschool/media
I'm usually impressed with my media gallery as I work on posts a lot usually or hit the "Aha!" moments and capture it (other people may forget it for years, not me!).
Freedom is about *making it work together* better like using #Mastodon on the #Fediverse daily for better platforms with more #bestpractices and 'best' people to help us which I kind of collect here and
when it's #1 comment!
I am measurably better because I reply and stick to everything to the end(!)
No cancelling friendship suddenly without saying why or being moody!
Freedom is to Learn, Respect and Love eventually and ️to Unite!
Practically it's also like Tetris - add yourself to the puzzle and watch it all happen...
█▬▄▀ ╚ ╦ ╝╠╧
talk more on Mastodon and the Fediverse and puzzle it all out using better ways to less use the other bad commercial / extractive people...
L£$$ of the less caring people like the ggl's / ytb / gmail / mainstream communication points etc who are offering lots of space 'free' and it's not free of peace there.
We GIVE to real people (TIME NOT JUST MONEY).
There's no buy-in solution - we have to make it with selotape or whatever we have - it's not shameful to bring whatever you have.
FreeSchool is terminology put together from many good things from past (coined in 1950's/60's. I / we become it eventually through being.
It's a movement for Freedom via Learning it all (learning self included and less active stuff) and doing the learning *together* --> https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Freeschool.
I encourage you warmly to participate with me as a I have time and then spiral out naturally to others (we are part of humanity and so naturally a sort of evangelism or ecological pyramid of life as we choose to spread lesser suffering while accepting consuming is part of it).
Less-commercial in orientation (in everything) and happy to think / work for free.
Naturally you will hesitate if someone is sure of themself or ok standing on shoulders what we copy do the best from humbly but not too sterile either.
Based on just emotions ruins almost everything, which seems very common - very ungraceful - so don't disconnect... do it gracefully at least!
A "school" of thought is here you can interact / ask and make best together as free/low cost as possible.
Even a bad answer you can take best from (of course I won't know all your situation when I suggest something but I don't need to answer 100% - you also need to help me!).
Leave perfectionism, we are all imperfect humans! Let's do it... Choose something ANYTHING and keep the thoughts rolling together...!
