@nprofile1q... ughhhh, so true.

I have already had multiple conversations with my 5 y.o. as to why I won't buy her Harry Potter-themed LEGO sets or Kinder Surprise eggs...

"The person who created this character is very bad; she hurts others and I don't want to give her my money". My 5 y.o. gets it.

Harry Potter is EVERYWHERE, le sigh. It makes me angry how much money J.K.R. is making with merchandising alone.

@nprofile1q... @nprofile1q... oddio vi prego non fidatevi del marketing e leggete piuttosto i miei articoli https://blog.elenarossini.com/tag/w-social

ultimamente ho anche trovato casi come un utente verificato sotto il nome di TikTok e flaggato come spammer da Bluesky PBC (perché dipendono ancora da loro per tanti moduli dell’infrastruttura)

Dear Fedi friends,

I've been quiet lately because I am currently vacationing with family in a remote place.

I have my #mesh gear with me to do experiments... and my computer, so I will publish the second chapter in my guide to #GoToSocial later this week.

My sister-in-law's cat is here with us... Maybe I'll have an entry for this upcoming Caturday 😆

Wishing everyone a fantastic day! 🌞

Experiments with #MeshCore = just an excuse to play with #LEGO (and buy little accessories for my minifigs).

Special day today: the home screen of my jailbroken e-reader informed me I hit a 100-day reading streak. This week's average reading time has been 42 minutes a day 🥳

I owe it all to #KOreader and #SimpleUI - somehow having visible metrics motivated me to pick up my #Kindle every day.

I wrote more about it on my #GoToSocial account: https://aseachange.com/@elena/statuses/01KR0PEJEZ00Y7506QFE60TKA3

If you are interested in doing something similar, the website https://kindlemodding.org is a phenomenal resource.

For the record, I am positively fuming over the new #AgeVerification laws being introduced in France.

How convenient that this way Big Tech behemoths like Meta, X and TikTok won't have to change a thing. (Don't get me started about Grok, which should have been banned MONTHS ago).

AGE isn't the problem. It's the TOXIC, PREDATORY, EXTRACTIVE nature of these platforms that is the real issue.

They are getting away scot-free. I hate it. All I can do is speak up with those around me 🫤

The scariest thing about new #AgeVerification laws being introduced in Europe (France, I was expecting more from you) is to see the positive reactions of my family members, who have fallen hook, line and sinker for the arguments discussed in the media. "It's to protect the children!" No it isn't.

I'm sending this superb article by the @nprofile1q... to all of them:

Now is the time to #resist and speak up and educate those around us ✊ #privacy

@nprofile1q... I always say that GoToSocial is the hidden gem of the fediverse 💎

Good morning Fedi friends,

I have been feeling a rising anxiety over the state of the open web and the fediverse - after seeing efforts by politicians all over the world (in Europe too!) to introduce age verification laws for social media.

My way of coping?

Teaching people how to self-host their own Fediverse profile (using the superb #GoToSocial) via #YunoHost.

Chapter 1 in this series is available here:

I'm not the selfhosting kind but this tutorial is tempting... I may be running ahead but do you know if it's possible to import existing contacts to GoToSo...
