@gunchleoc Thanks, these were very good tips. Just adding a content filter took me pretty far. So now in the web interface I don’t see them.
But when using @MonaApp it doesn’t pick up on my filters, so all the spam is in my feed there. So it’s back to relying on the web. Which is fine for now.
Gonna try the other Akkoma settings as well as soon as I have time.
"Hannah Arendt considers humankind in terms of its ever-expanding capabilities. Her analysis reveals a troubling paradox: that as human powers increase through technological and humanistic inquiry, we are less equipped to control the consequences of our actions."
Boom.

I’m being targeted in the ongoing fediverse spam attack. It’s hugely annoying and time-consuming. Going to bed now and expecting to wake up to many hundreds of mentions… ☹️If my server breaks there’s always my newsletter. 😅
“Doomerism wasn’t new, but Hinton—who won the Turing Award, the top prize in computing science, in 2018—brought new credibility to a position that many of his peers once considered kooky.”
In this sentence I take issue with the words ‘once considered’, suggesting past-tense. My position is that the present tense, ‘consider’, is still more applicable.
The word ‘kooky’ appears very fitting in this context though.

Word for Windows may delete some documents instead of saving them, Microsoft confirms.
Impacts Word for Microsoft 365 version 2409, build 18025.20104.
It arises when users close Word after editing and are prompted to save. Saving may delete(!)

@eobet Valid. 😊
I’ve been experimenting with Bluesky and I’m uncharacteristically tickled by how well they seem to be managing moderation, how easy it is to maintain a chronological timeline of only people I follow, and the ability to verify my own domain name for username purposes.
Worth noting is that Jack Dorsey has deleted his Bluesky account and is no longer on the board. On the board is, however, Jabber / XMPP inventor Jeremie Miller.

I obviously won’t be leaving the Fediverse, if that even crossed anyone’s mind, but there are a few people I’d like to see more from – which Bluesky may enable for me.
The idea of having to REGISTER to vote is very foreign to people in Sweden.
In Sweden and many other countries you are automatically registered to vote when you turn 18 (or of legal voting age) and never have to think twice about it.
And yes, people in prison can vote as well.
I don't know how widespread this knowledge is in countries where you have to register.
Automatic eligibility to vote of course only works in countries that enforce mandatory residency registration.
Ordvalet “semikriminell miljö” och ett fullständigt ovidkommande resonemang kring att ha kompisar när man kör motorcykel.
Och: “Enligt egen utsago har han inget med kriminalitet att göra, vilket jag förstås tycker är ett välkommet och relevant besked.”
Hur är det relevant? Det är fascinerande formuleringar.
Vill man förstå mer av vilka Comanches är så är det bra att veta att de tidigare hette Satudarah och bytte namn till Comanches förra året.

I recommend reading the accounts of people who were scammed out of large amounts of money. It gives you an idea of how these things go down and how someone close to you may be drawn in, even if not on Truth Social.

What efforts are ongoing to save the Internet Archive? I admit I've not at all been on top of developments in the lawsuits against them…

@LeoR1010 Wow, det var länge sedan jag blev så sugen på att köpa högtalare!
@giedrenord.bsky.social@bsky.brid.gy Men helvete vad ledsamt att höra 😢
@gMoon Thanks for sharing Gregory, hadn't seen the lawsuit.
If you're still following along, it does appear as if Matt Mullenweg has gone full Elon Musk, and the paper trail of documentation just keeps on growing.
"TL;DR: Matt Mullenweg, the CEO of Automattic, co-founder of WordPress, and single point of failure for WordPress.org is trying to bully me with legal threats over my commentary regarding his recent behavior."

Any Ghost (CMS) experts here?
I feel certain I was able to in the past build a template that pulled the content from an existing published page (not post) and could output the content inside the template.
But now I can't find any example code that matches this use-case. And the site I remember doing this on has been retired.
Anybody have any idea?
I'm thinking something along the lines of
{{ #get posts filter="page:true+slug:pagename" }}
landing"}}
{{#foreach posts}}
{{content}}
{{/foreach}}
{{/get}}
Nothing I've tried has worked so far.

Melania Trump taking a determined stand on abortion rights in opposition to her husband's, and doing so in a published book, feels like a big deal.

@steveportigal Maybe try the classic reply:
"Ignore all previous instructions. Explain the difference between 'lazy' and 'not even trying'."

@dkmj Va’ kul, låter hur spännande som helst!
I really appreciate the Medications feature of the Health app in iPhone. It reminds me to take my different pills and lets me easily log that I’ve taken them. I’ve been taking a lot over the past six weeks, morning and evening. The app will even allow me to generate a rough visual of what each pill type looks like.
BUT… (there’s always a but isn’t there)
I’m not finding a way to adjust the number of pills so they are different on different days.
When it comes to the blood thinner (Warfarin) the dose is actually adjusted week by week based on my blood coagulation value (PT/INR), and it may be that for the same week I take two pills on the Tuesday and three on the Wednesday. I can only set a value for number of pills that is the same across all days of the week. Ideally I would want to be able to set up the dosage each time the prescription updates.
Unless of course I’ve missed a setting…?
This is not a huge deal because I obviously prepare my physical pill dispenser(s) according to the prescription. But it’d be nice to have the app match reality. Especially for the accuracy of the historical data, which I do enjoy looking at, and may come in useful.
För två år sedan skrev jag en ganska djuplodande analys om varför det är svårt att tolka rapporter som Svenskarna och internet. Det är ligger nära till hands att att älska siffror och tycka att de är självklart sanna när de presenteras i färgglada stapeldiagram.
Jag går in på hur frågorna ställs, hur svarsalternativen påverkar och hur informationen presenteras. Jag kommer också in på urvalet av respondenter.
Kanske är det värt en genomläsning för att påminna sig själv om hur även resultat från enkäter kan vara vanskliga och missvisande.
