While looking for something else, I just found a blog post about Diaspora I wrote in 2012;
But what I was really pleased to stumble upon is the post I wrote in 2019 about replacing FarceBook;
This one is definitely going to get an update-and-repost on the new Disintermedia blog.
EDIT: replaced links, hopefully this won't slashdot archive.today sites ...

Wie Fediverse-Reactions und Avatare in WordPress zusammenhängen
Einen Punkt habe ich in meinem vorigen Beitrag über Folgefragen nach dem Verbinden eines WordPress-Blogs mit dem Fediverse noch nicht behandelt: Die Abhängigkeit der Anzeige der Fediverse-Reactions von den generellen Avatar-Einstellungen in WordPress. Das ist auch ein bisschen komplexer und damit einen eigenen Beitrag wert:
Gravatar und Datenschutz
WordPress holt sich standardmäßig die Avatare zu normalen Kommentaren von gravatar.com. Hat dort jemand keinen Avatar eingerichtet, erscheint stattdessen in WordPress-Kommentaren der Platzhalter, den man unter Einstellungen > Diskussion definiert hat.
Da das mit gravatar.com nicht datenschutzfreundlich ist, wird dazu geraten, ein Plugin wie Avatar Privacy zu verwenden. Oder Avatare an oben genannter Stelle einfach ganz zu deaktivieren.
Überall zulassen oder gar keine?
Wer Avatare komplett abschaltet, ist dann zwar das Datenschutzproblem in WordPress los, bekommt aber Folgeprobleme:
- Der zum Beitrag gehörige Autorenavatar wird auch nicht mehr angezeigt
- Fediverse-Reactions werden nicht angezeigt
Das Problem mit dem Autorenavatar lässt sich beheben, indem ich ein Plugin wie One User Avatar benutze. Damit kann ich für jedes Benutzerprofil einen lokalen Avatar hochladen.
Das Problem mit den Fediverse-Reactions behebt das aber nicht.
Alles gut, dank Blockthemes
Um die Fediverse-Reactions anzeigen zu können, müssen Avatare also erlaubt sein. Da man mit den o.g. Plugins dafür nicht weiterkommt, bleibt nur eins und das geht dank Blockthemes kinderleicht: den Platzhalter für Avatare aus dem Kommentartemplate komplett entfernen! Hier also nochmal die Konstellation, wie ich sie hier verwende:
- Avatare in WordPress-Einstellungen unter Diskussion zulassen, damit Fediverse-Reaktionen und Autorenavatare dargestellt werden können
- One User Avatar installieren, um Autorenavatare darstellen zu können, ohne das zu Gravatar gefunkt wird
- Platzhalter für Kommentar-Avatare löschen (oder Avatar Privacy installieren), um zu verhindern, dass für Kommentar-Avatare zu Gravatar gefunkt wird.
Wie handhabst Du das in Deinem Blog?
Gravatar mit Datenschutz
Das Plugin »Avatar Privacy« ermöglicht es, Gravatare in WordPress einzusetzen, ohne den in der DSGVO geforderten Datenschutz zu verletzen. Perfekt.Peter Müller (Einstieg in WordPress)

Trump begründet Zölle für Brasilien mit "Hexenjagd" gegen Bolsonaro
Auch Brasilien hat nun Post von US-Präsident Trump mit den neuen Zollbestimmungen bekommen. Das Land soll auf die Einfuhr von Produkten in die USA den bislang höchsten Wert von 50 Prozent zahlen - und zwar aus innenpolitischen Gründen.
Trump wird doch nicht seinen Nachahmer in Stich lassen. Erinnert sei an "Sturm auf das Kapitol in Washington 2021 vs. Sturm auf Kongress in Brasilia 2023"

Yes, I know, but they needn't worry -- I will die and their eugenicist framework may hasten that. And as that existential philosopher Joni Ernst said, "well all die."

An early example of creating vector layers via Python scripting in #GIMP. In addition to giving access to plug-in developers, we'll eventually use this to load SVGs as vectors (and load vector layers from formats that support them like PSD and PSP)!
There's still a lot of work to be done, both in the public API and internally, but progress continues.

Jump Drive on Boardgamearena.com is so addictive! It's a very streamlined version of Race for the Galaxy, one of my all-time favorite #boardgames. The solo mode has you running a "campaign", where you try to beat certain scores in certain ways. You can easily run a campaign in about 30 minutes. I fell 1 point short of winning the easiest campaign. Love it!
The image shows a screenshot from a digital board game interface. The top section displays player information and game progress. The player "jdarnold" has a score of -1, with 5 cubes, 8 points, 7 cards, and +8 dollars. The "Outreach" section lists victory conditions: "Great Victory" (60 VPs), "Military Victory" (50 VPs and +8), "Peaceful Victory" (50 VPs; may not use +? to place worlds), and "Discovery Victory" (45 VPs and must Explore at least once). The game has ended in a defeat, as indicated by the message "End of game: End of game (defeat)".
The middle section shows the player's hand, with cards like "Rosetta Stone World," "Avian Uplift Race," "Rebel Miners," "Adaptable Uplift Race," "Convict Miners," "Investment Credits," and "Space Marines." The bottom section displays "jdarnold's tableau," featuring cards such as "Mining Robots," "Asteroid Belt," "Pirate Fuel Cache," "Reptilian Uplift World," "Alien Robot Sentry," and "Rebel Outpost." The interface includes options like "Return to main site," "Propose a rematch," "Play again," and "Return to table list." The bottom navigation bar offers links to "How to play," "Competition," "Strategy tips," "Options," and "Credits."

Control Panel 1.0 -
Pour célébrer la naissance de mon enfant, j'ai brodé le panneau de contrôle du premier Macintosh.
À partir d'une capture d'écran, j'ai créé le modèle à broder, en mettant son nom dans la barre de titre, sa date et son poids de naissance. J'ai mis plusieurs mois à le réaliser, et il est né quelques semaines avant que j'arrive à le terminer, ce qui tombe bien parce que je devait de toute façon attendre la naissance pour les informations de dernière minute.
Je suis impatiente de partager un jour avec lui l'origine de cette œuvre de Susan Kare.
Vous pouvez jouer avec l'original (dans une émulation) dans ce très bel article de Marcin Wichary.

For those 2. My long term plan is to move the Disintermedia blog to a community-hosted service (Ghost is a favourite but I'm still evaluating options).
When it comes time, I'll try to write a bash script that goes through the most complete archive of the CoActivate version, copies each post into the new one. Bonus extra; change each timestamp so it's correct according to the original publication date. Double bonus: do the same for the SubStack version.
