ThunderSky is one of a growing chorus of Indigenous parents demanding provincial and territorial authorities allow them to bestow Indigenous names on their children — with all the special characters, syllabics, accents, numeric or other non-English or French symbols used by some Indigenous languages.

Who knew typography and font choices would one day have this effect.

Before I make the changes, what does that mean in practice? I have an account on Mastodon and it sees posts from baraza communities. I am on lemmy0.14.3 if that helps. Was this nginx config a requirement when updating? I did not see it in the docs, unless it was baked in during the updates.

Did you try to follow Baraza communities via Mastodon? I did see that “Cancel Follow Request” sporadically and now it seems resolved (displaying “Unfollow”). The mastodon federation is still at the community level. I will check in with @nutomic@lemmy.ml on what that means exactly. Is there a role for the remote Mastodon admin to play so that “Cancel Follow Request” move to full “Unfollow”.

Update after 18 hours or so: This post did not federate to c/Africa on Baraza even though it appears like so on Lemmy.ml. I updated the install from 0.14.1 to 0.14.3 and new posts made from lemmy to baraza did federate. Proximate cause for non-federation could then be different lemmy installations. But I was getting content on Baraza from lemmy, just not posts made directly to communities there.

Even after updating, a post to Baraza from Lemmy is not federating: Post on Lemmy to a Baraza community - https://lemmy.ml/c/africa@baraza.africa Community on Baraza without recent posts from Lemmy: https://baraza.africa/c/africa

I will observe this issue and probably make a proper issue on Github.

Ethiopian highlands (the source of Abaye/Blue Nile) are panoramic. I didn’t know it is one of the highest zones in Africa.

Interesting stuff, which is why there is a new community on central bank digital currencies on baraza: https://baraza.africa/post/9173

Comment sections are the best/worst parts of the Internet :)

I do not know its status but this is the link: https://www.justice.gc.ca/eng/csj-sjc/pl/charter-charte/c10.html

Bill C-10.

Just awesome.

They are well paid pirates. 🏴‍☠️

Is this Transno structure the ‘relational notes’ approach, like a wiki or Zettelkestein something something?

When Jack posted that idea, I remember seeing Christopher Lemmer Webber & Evan Prodromou mention ActivityPub to Jack right there. Oh how this world works :(

I agree. It is hard to see how a centralized powerful entity would cede that power to a decentralized system if their aim is not to turn decentralized communities into name-only but centralized in practice.

Obligatory XKCD

I like the publicity this gives to fediverse. I do not think ignoring existing protocols right from the start inspires hope in as much as Twitter and Harvard do not explicitly mention existing options. I hope I am wrong in the long run.

I do not know exactly what effect you are after, since all I did was paste the url link, but the editing options on web version are easy to use.

Mastercard also recently announced a partnership with Optus, one of Australia’s most trusted telco brands, to provide its customers a simpler and more secure way to prove their identity online and in-store. Elsewhere Mastercard has partnered with The Government of the Republic of North Macedonia to design a new national digital identity service to help advance the country’s digital economy aspirations.

COVID-19 gave them a much needed reason to get into identification services. More interactions are now being mediate by these private companies.

Mastercard have also taken over ID as their privately owned brand. https://newsroom.mastercard.com/asia-pacific/press-releases/mastercard-australia-post-and-deakin-university-continue-work-to-enable-seamless-digital-identity/

Mastercard is spreading their surveillance and extractive vacuum into the classrooms.

Great idea well implemented, thank you. Will work on a CoC this evening.
