Let's share this week-end's recap.
It had to be PlusBrothers fiction's first chapter publication, with sentient HIV virus showing themselves to the public again after more than a year. But Alex "Gifter" and I, just have lost a dear friend. No idea if he died for HIV related complications or if it's a disease appeared independently. He was positive since the 80s. And his loss has shocked us so we didn't feel to celebrate Halloween with our talking virus while Pigi's husband is crying. Maybe Pigi wanted us to continue anyways, but we didn't feel like to.

By chance, following the "ActivityPub" hashtag, we encountered then another platform, called Omicron Blog - https://omicron.blog so we both started to explore it, especially me. But nothing worked in #selfhosting, not at least with an already set up domain with ssl installed by YunoHost. It forced me to modify one thing called CaddyFile which forced me to give up. To be properly set up, @OmicronHQ needs a YunoHost compatible installer. We'll give it another try with another "virgin" domain, just with the ipv4 and ipv6 dns records. We're curious to test it on our hosting first, to see if our community part can be developed on fediverse together with writing-only writefreely setup.

Urban streets: Despite all the wailing and gnashing of teeth, the 20mph default speed limit in residential and built-up areas of Wales has been a huge success.
You may note a 35% drop in all road user casualties: https://road.cc/news/serious-cyclist-injuries-down-50-and-overall-road-casualties-continue-to-fall-since-20mph-limit-introduced-in-wales

Regardez-moi ces ordures complices du fascisme du « Monde » qui mentent dès leur titre sur ce qui s’est passé, en édulcorant complètement la gravité des propos du prêtre, qui avait tenu (entre autres) des propos racistes et une incitation à peine voilée à la violence d’extrême-droite, mais on présente ça comme s’il avait juste fait une blague contre « les gauchistes » et que la gauche s’indignerait pour pas grand chose. 😬

J'avais loupé la bonne nouvelle des derniers jours : les banques françaises ont finalement refusé de prêter au Rassemblement national.

C'est clairement pas seulement nos petits emails (prêter à une voleuse, même les banques doivent de dire que ce n'est pas la meilleure idée), mais quand même 🔥.

> Social networks often launch in a blaze of glory but limp out of existence within a year or so.

The delightful thing about the fediverse social network is that it continues to 🌱 grow and 🐣 evolve at a natural pace.

What exists today does not stand "on the shoulders of giants", but exists due to many fine people dedicating their time, energy and passion. Fedi is a collaborative achievement.

The fediverse delightful lists also celebrate their decade of existence. They were ported from Feneas, the Federated Network Association, which no longer exists today. But it provided furtile soil.

The 3 fedi curated lists track "anything ActivityPub-fediverse related" with a focus on providing inspiration and references to the developer community, to encourage them to build more FOSS projects and enrich the ecosystem.

The lists keep track of current project but also still highlight the many 👻 inactive or dormant projects so they can still help inspire others.

you ever write code so inefficient you have to start complaining about the global allocation of RAM

EU is directly supplying the weapons IOF has used to kill hundreds of journalists. https://www.dropsitenews.com/p/mediacide-francesca-albanese-on-israels

How about ending arms export to israel, @EUCommission ?

(As the prices of rent and food go up, and the "% of wealth" numbers start to look stranger [1% of the population owns 50% of the wealth, that sort of thing], if trends continue unbounded eventually you hit a point where the *only* way to get money to live is to do something that makes an already-wealthy person happy. More and more industries change from making products to sell, over to some sort of "storytime" where a billionaire is delighted by the way you dance and gives you "investment".)

Now I kinda want a (Street) Food and Wine festival. Fine wines and food off the back of a truck. 🤣

dépolitiser le racisme en le considérant comme une folie, c'est ça le leader du premier parti d'opposition au fascisme en France.

The first instalment (of 4!) of the Winter Wonderbonk #BonkWave compilation is out, and I'm honoured to have my song "I Will Be Fine" opening the whole thing 😮

Please give all the tracks a listen. I'm in such great company there.
