Does anyone know the new fedi-service #wanderer?

I can find and join users from a wanderer-server. But postings there are not found by friendica.

#BuenasNoches desde #Asturias
Tú, necesitas
Y, yo te pregunto: lo que yo necesito.
te envuelves en tus murallas
como en una piel de armiño.
Te rodeas de perfume de oriente
como cualquier otro caudillo
librador de batallas del alma
de asaltador de castillos
los de naipes del alma
los de amores perdidos
Tú, necesitas ahora,
te importa, luego,
lo que yo necesito?

The "verification" scammer is back (social.growyourown.services/@F…), and seems to be only using accounts on servers that allow instant sign-ups.

If you're running a public Fediverse server, it might be a good idea to switch your sign-ups to approval required?

⚠️ There is another "verification" scammer on the move, do not click on their link, it is a scam!

Genuine Mastodon servers never demand verification like this.

If you see a scam post like this, click ⋯ on the scam post, then "Report", then report it and make sure you select the option to forward the report to the origin server.

Sneak preview of translations coming to Co-op Cloud's "abra" tool – including the sub-commands themselves! 🤘

You can follow along at translate.coopcloud.tech

you should probably only translate descriptions, not command names themselves (..will copy-paste work across locales if you do??)
in reply to Val Packett 🧉

yeh it's a great point! are there other dangers to consider? we're very open to tips on this 🙏

we're discussing the need to approach this more holistically and translate also the docs which people would copy/pasta from.

we're working closely with people sharing sysadmin skills with others in spanish but that is not their first language. english is then a 3rd language. so not having sub-command translation is confusing the situation significantly...

i haven't seen a single CLI tool in my life that has translatable sub-commands/flags but i suspect that is just my bias and the the general concentration of software development in english speaking centers...

In Turkmenistan, one of the world's most isolated regimes, internet censorship evolved beyond surveillance & control. The people blocking access to the internet are secretly selling it back, at prices most Turkmens can't afford. This has implications far beyond 1 country: blog.torproject.org/Corruption…

“A handful of letters scattered in archives in Castellón, Paris, New York, and California reveal the existence of a vast and intricate international network of anti-fascist librarians who, during the Spanish postwar period, collaborated from different parts of the world, providing aid to Republican intellectuals interned in French concentration camps.”

Google won't allow you to install Android apps whose developers' identity Google hasn't verified. Starting in 2026 in some countries and in 2027 everywhere: androidauthority.com/android-d…

Unfortunately, developers on Google Play are already used to this system and people have accepted Apple, so I this will be a hard fight. Digital ecosystems being closed "to keep us safe" isn't seen as a bad thing.
in reply to Torsten Grote Thibaultmol 🌈 reshared this.

People saying "But I use a degoogled custom ROM, so I won't be affected" are missing the point. Apps not on Google Play are already a niche. Banning them on most people's devices is a big issue, even if some people can still escape.

Also the general trend of Google becoming more closed may make even custom ROMs impossible eventually.

in reply to Torsten Grote

In the past, when books were censored and forbidden, people could still print them in their basements and spread them. Everybody who got their hands on one, could read it. This won't be possible anymore in our new digital age.
in reply to Torsten Grote

Under-reported detail: If you don't pay a fee to Google, they limit how many people can install your apps and how many apps you are allowed to have.

Google asks what we think of their plans to block Android app installs outside of Google Play (unless the developers let Google verify their identity and pay a fee).

likewise their are entire regions/countries where not having play/apple effectively excludes you from participating in both government and private retail/transport and services. Singapore/Indonesia/Malaysia are particularly bad, also with the side dish of entrapment by Meta and Telegram for govt service's
