I'd hoped this dog would remain asleep, but here we are...
#Mastodon and the legendary #Fediverse are closely related to the #FOSS and software development worlds
In the FOSS and software development world, the word "fork" has an extremely specific meaning, to wit;
Fork: to take existing software code, adopt it into one's own work flow, alter it, and in doing so take that source code and "fork" it in a significant new direction with new code that replaces the original, usually to add features or improve functionality
Now then, I was camping on the #Forkiverse
/public/local
for a long while and it was clear from the convos that the "Forkiverse" was being presented as a fork of Mastodon in the source code sense -- that, even though Forkiverse is still running box-stock v4.5.7 Mastodon source code, and is not in any sense a "fork" of anything
All this said (again) I'm going to hit Post and mute this convo
This topic has already wasted enough of my time...

Mastodon finally has an official share button. Or at least a page you can use that enables the sharer to select their Mastodon instance and then get redirected to the share page there. I directly used that to replace the share to “Mastodon.social” with share to “Mastodon” in GoBlog. 😊

Macron reports that two French bases have been hit.
Paris has defence agreements linking the country with Qatar, Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates. Links with Jordan and 'Kurdish allies'.
Drones shot down 'in self-defence'.

Interessant. So ein gefolgter Hashtag funktioniert sogar auf Erwähnungen in der Bildbeschreibung. Gefällt mir immer besser. Wieder was gelernt.

Spending our day working destributing manure on the farm.
Farming isn't just about growing crops, it's about nurturing communities, preserving traditions, and feeding futures. Let's celebrate the backbone of our food system and the farmers who work tirelessly to bring food to our tables!

Some interesting thoughts and a good read I found on the net:
**“Yes, You Need to Be Naked”: Inside the Making of HBO’s Neighbors**
By Cristine Brache, February 26, 2026
Neighbors begins, fittingly, as a kind of internet spiral. Before it was an HBO docuseries, it was a shared obsession among co-directors Dylan Redford and Harrison Fishman, plus Fishman’s brother Sam, the project’s executive producer and cinematographer, who began cutting together compilations of neighbor disputes in 2019 while living in Miami. Grainy ring-cam meltdowns. Shirtless men screaming over property lines. Women weaponizing leaf blowers. The videos were raw, tiny operas of ego and grievance. Soon the trio were staging their own fake disputes, hiring actors, posting them online, trying (and failing) to convince the internet they were real. The joke, of course, was that reality was much stranger.
When their friend Steve Smith floated funding for a small pilot, the bit mutated into something more ambitious: What if they filmed real neighbor disputes as they unfolded? They saw these conflicts as “windows into the American psyche,” a phrase that sounds academic until you’re watching two grown adults wage psychological warfare over a fence. The result is completely unhinged. I watched all six episodes in a state of constant shock and low-grade anxiety, unable to believe these people existed, then unable to stop thinking about them altogether. This led me to casting director Harleigh Shaw, whose work on the series is its own feat of endurance art. Building trust with subjects, sometimes living alongside them (including two weeks with nudists), she locates not caricatures but full human ecosystems...

100,000 Trees. One Shared Future
Planting a tree is more than a gesture; it is a lifeline for our planet. At the Uganda Sustainable Community Initiative, we believe humanity has a responsibility to restore what has been lost.
We are launching a focused, 2-month mission to plant 100,000 trees across Eastern Uganda—a region currently facing a critical rise in deforestation. Our approach isn't just about putting roots in the ground

Some interesting thoughts and a good read I found on the net:
**No Swimsuits Allowed. Full Nudity Mandatory. Why Japan’s Traditional Onsens Strip You Bare – And Why It’s Genius**
You step into a steamy Japanese onsen, heart pounding, towel clutched like a lifeline… and bam – the sign hits you: no clothes, no swimsuits, no exceptions. Everyone’s naked. Strangers, locals, old, young – all bathe in the hot mineral water. For Westerners raised on body shame and private showers, it feels like walking into a nightmare. But in Japan? This isn’t weird, awkward, or optional.
It’s mandatory. It’s tradition. It’s culture. And once you understand why they enforce total nudity with zero compromise, you’ll see it’s not about exhibitionism – it’s about something deeper, cleaner, and honestly kind of brilliant.
Hygiene First – No Dirt, No Soap, No Exceptions
Onsens draw from sacred geothermal springs loaded with minerals (iron, sulphur, you name it). The water is shared, reused, and barely filtered. Any fabric – swimsuit, towel, underwear – traps dirt, sweat, soap residue, dead skin, whatever. One person cheats the rules? The whole pool gets contaminated. Nudity keeps the water pure for everyone. Simple. Brutal. Non-negotiable...
Equality in the Buff – No Status, No Brands, No Bullshit
Strip away clothes, and you strip away everything: social rank, wealth, fashion, tattoos (often banned anyway), body type judgments...

A few days ago I wanted to write that I'm starting to really like it here. I decided to let my perception settle, explore more, and say something more coherent and informative later. It hasn't happened. The more I learn, the more I just want to fangirl from mountaintops about the Fediverse. It's like a world that consists of decent people with decent causes, within a structure that can't be overtaken by a single sick mind or a rotten system of values.
I love it here.
