@_elena@mastodon.social sounds like they failed and that's not going to last. Hopefully. 😄
Anyone thinking of going to All Things Open 2026 in Raleigh NC?
A few folks and I are discussing some kind of Fediverse meet up and attempting to have conversations around the Fediverse. #ATO2026 #Raleigh #Open #Fediverse
Finally back from vacation, work should be calming down, wife graduated and is studying for boards, kids are out of school but should be good, SO I think life is FINALLY about to calm down about. So back to scheduling episodes of Fireside Feid. Who would YOU like to see on the podcast? Volunteers welcome as well.
@_elena@mastodon.social I try. I don't look so great in the cheerleading skirt, but gotta do what I gotta do. This reminds me, I need to look into getting a kilt. They seem very comfy.

Good morning Fedi friends!
Today marks the one year anniversary of the release of my video “Introducing the Fediverse: a New Era of Social Media”
🔗: https://aseachange.com/@elena/statuses/01JXCDST00FXKN9KCAQJ1QCMRJ
I’m super grateful towards:
💙 volunteers who translated the subtitles
💚 those who produced foreign-language voice-over narrations
💛 people who showed the video at conferences
🧡 everyone who shared the video
❤️ people who sent in positive feedback
It really takes a village 💜
@_elena@mastodon.social thank you so much for your passion and love. We're all stronger with you here.

My local cinema has ten screens. However I have only seen movies on screen six. Is this a cover for a covert organisation or are the other screens just for people who are cooler than me?
@dandelionutilitarian@mastodon.social MI6 would like a word with you.
Can't begin to state how pissed and stressed I am atm. We leave for vacation tomorrow. We booked through Expedia. Which includes adding in names and ages. It's booked through Delta. The flight is totally booked.
We never got to book our seats. It seemed we had to pick our seats at arrival to the airport or on getting on our flight. Just got an email, they put the four of us, mind you my wife, myself, and a 9 and 6 year old, all separate, in middle seats. I'll be damned with if I let my 9 and 6 year olds sit alone during their first flights ANYWHERE. And of course their support takes "on average" 37 minutes to respond. Wife opened a chat, and of course, nothing they can do, but they're certain that someone at the gate can help tomorrow.
I fucking hate travel. My father's response? "This is why I like driving". Yeah. 12 hours in a car is just dandy.

@ivan @mayel @liaizon @smallcircles @ozoned Don't do that!
If you have to, only do it on Note objects. Everything else needs a summary that's really a summary!
@evan@cosocial.ca @ivan@bonfire.cafe @smallcircles@social.coop @liaizon@social.wake.st @mayel@bonfire.cafe
Can I just say, while we're all talking about a bug, and nothing is perfect, THIS is why I LOVE open source. 😊 Everyone collaborating, folks in each of their expert fields lending their experience. Love it. 😊
Thank you ALL for working through this. <3
@ozoned it is good to have him expose people to FOSS!
I am not jazzed about yet another tool for helping DoS maintainers' brains, but I do think his advocacy has been net positive.
Hopefully things like this can be net positive when the dust settles. I want to like the tools people are putting out there for free, but I'm struggling to imagine things like this having positive utility at the moment.
I hope I didn't spoil the mood of your post, I just have a lot of complicated feelings. 😮💨
@theeclecticdyslexic@mstdn.social Not spoiling the mood at all. I have a LOT of complicated feelings about it as well. But at this point, I HAVE to focus on the positive. We can't let perfect get in the way of good. THIS is a step. Is it the step we'd maybe want? NOPE. But it's a STEP and I will ABSOLUTELY take it. He converts dozens more, they convert dozens more. ONE DROP AT A TIME.

Umm... holy shit? PewDiePie made an AI? IDK how real or true it is, someone give me your thoughts, BUT the fact he's talking about open source, the fact he's pushing for self hosting. Like... this is HUGE imo. Even showing he can try is incredible. He's influencing a generation. And while I never watched PewDiePie, I might just start.

And this, my friend, is the joy of having children ❤️
We've often "borrowed" friends' children to access animated children's films 🫢
@TCMuffin@toot.wales Honestly the feeling can't be described can it? You get to experience a first through their eyes. First to say a word, first to learn to read. I don't remember that feeling, but I get to feel it through my children. And it's just warmth in your heart. When you really stop and pay attention to them and really feel what they're feeling. It's fucking magical man.

@JenJen@mastodon.art holy shit you look so good in that! LOVE it!
Some good guys on a private forum I’m part of are doing an image a day based around the theme of “summer camp” today prompt was “campfire” and this is my submission. 🏕️
@dandelionutilitarian@mastodon.social that is fucking adorable and I hate you for your artistic skill. 😜
@liaizon@social.wake.st @ivan@bonfire.cafe @mayel@bonfire.cafe what version are you on? Can we see a picture?
I'm on the latest-beta and I don't see any warnings.
I will state that the message I replied to was from Julian's NodeBB instance. So it's translating from threadiverse to Bonfire, so probably some incompatability there.
