#askfedi . I just downloaded #moshidon , a #mastodon client app for #android but I don't see the likes/boost count. I looked at the app behavior setting and see that both options to show boosts and replies (but no likes) have been enabled. Is there a setting on how to display likes/boost count?
EDIT: I ALREADY FOUND IT. It is "post interaction counts" on the display setting, not on behavior setting. Why it is disabled by default is something I do not understand.

I want to tell something about my experience in using social media (it was Bluesky) last year.
That time, I had a "mindset" that I will always like a post that goes into my Following feed, as a means to "mark" a post that I have seen it.
Someone DM'ed me, saying he was weirded out because I kept liking his post. He thought it was personal.
No you are not. I like all post that I have seen in my Following feed. You are not special. All posts in my Following feed get treated equally: they get liked when I see it.
So I went to his profile, unlike all his posts, and unfollowed him.
But it was last year. That particular "mindset" of always liking a post to "mark" it as being seen... I don't hold this "mindset" anymore although I do keep liking post from people I follow.

I enjoy DS 1 more because it was cool to explore the area and given options on how to approach finishing objectives. DS 2 is also a good game, but it is narrative driven and very straightforward that exploring area isn't that much of option.

DS 2 is more a straight forward action game, while DS 1 was kind of semi open world where you can explore the area a bit and branching (main and side) objectives.

hostile behavior di Mastodon memang nyata, dan sorry curhat curhat dikit. Pertama kali saya pakai Mastodon itu tahun lalu pas nyoba-nyoba karena penasaran aja. Saat itu saya masih pakai Bluesky sebagai pelarian dari Threads.
Dan ya memang saya sempat di-bully juga oleh netizen di Mastodon karena saya sering nyaranin dan posting soal Office 365 beserta fitur Copilot di Windows yang waktu itu saya suka.
Memang benar it's so unwelcome, it's frickin hostile, tapi beberapa saat kemudian setelah intropeksi dan mikir-mikir, ya saya memang bisa mengerti mengapa netizen Mastodon bisa so hostile. It's not about their behavior. Rather, it's about what is driving this behavior.
Jadi ya... saya akhirnya migrasi sepenuhnya ke Mastodon dari Bluesky, dan saya fine-fine saja. I know people can be very mean, but I keep thinking: "what's the driving factor? why so hostile?" dan pada akhirnya saya maklumi saja.

The accusation is much scarier as it taps into corporate espionage and mass surveillance.
Microsoft is accused of illegally searching browser extension whenever a user sign in into LinkedIn. It scans for any signs of use of religious belief, political orientation, as well as disabilities of individuals. There is also the accusation of the data being handed over to Israeli spyware firm.
"This is illegal and potentially a criminal offense in every jurisdiction we have examined."

If you are using Bluesky, my advice is turn off logged-out visibility and never take a peek at Clearsky.

2026-03-28 14:36:02 UTC

I once use Clearsky because I was interested with who are the people blocking my Bluesky profile.
But it turned out I got curious and looked (I know I was wrong, ok?) at my friends profile to see who they are blocking and who they were blocked.
Being able to see a publicly available list of people blocking each other is not a good idea, at least to me.

2026-03-10 01:48:47 UTC

I can't believe my online persona have changed very much. Two years ago, I started my Bluesky profile (I didn't know Mastodon yet during that time) as a regular music fan who post cassette tapes, Indonesian independent record labels, updates on niche and small artists, record stores in my area. Bluesky is very good in this field. Lots of artists are there and music feeds are endless. I am still a music fan to this day, although music is no longer my priority on my online social profiles.
However, I noticed that Bluesky users aren't that much interested in tech posts. As I start to get introduced to Mastodon, I was confused at first. Mastodon felt archaic to my understanding at that time. Why follower list of a profile is empty? Why the follower count is empty? At some point I start to recognize Mastodon, a truly decentralized networking.
After my migration to Mastodon, I felt the dilemma coming back to Bluesky for music stuff. I did that some time ago. The reason is because Mastodon is not an ideal platform to find more artists. Lots of bands and musicians still prefer Bluesky and they don't seem to be interested to use Mastodon. Since I am still an avid music fan (although I don't show it here as much as I was years ago on Bluesky), I still yearn to see updates on my favorite artists. I tried to persuade some of them to use Mastodon, but they just lack the interest.
I have boycotted Meta platforms. I deleted my WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram, Thread. I have boycotted Microsoft by deleting my Microsoft account and switched my computer operating system into Linux. I cannot boycott Google yet, as this one is tricky and some say it is impossible. I also, unfortunately, cannot boycott Bluesky yet as I still need to see updates on my favorite artists.

"NVIDIA: from gaming powerhouse to military tech player."
"NVIDIA’s AI chips are classified as dual-use technologies under US export controls by the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS). This classification means that they can be used for both civilian and military purposes.
NVIDIA’s AI chips, especially its Jetson processors, are now at the heart of advanced military technology worldwide. For example, Russian drones used in Ukraine rely on NVIDIA-powered chips for autonomous targeting and navigation.
Additionally, NVIDIA GPUs enable real-time video analytics for surveillance applications, including security systems deployed by US agencies. Human rights advocates warn that such AI hardware can support mass surveillance and privacy violations, especially under authoritarian governments like China, as seen in Xinjiang deployments."

@npub1w2l…ttcq did a desktop environment comparison on a laptop. The result is surprising.
It does not matter what kind of DE you are using in terms of GPU performance.
What really matters, if you're on a laptop, is battery life. The result of @npub1mvj…r582 research shows that Wayland is better at maintaining longer batter life compared to X11 session.
That is why Wayland-ready DEs such as GNOME and KDE have longer battery life compared to DEs still on X11. However, it is impressive that XFCE desktop, despite it is on X11 by default, able to maintain very long battery life comparable to GNOME and KDE on Wayland.

Open the wrong “PDF” and attackers gain remote access to your PC. Cybercriminals behind a campaign dubbed DEAD#VAX are taking phishing one step further by delivering malware inside virtual hard disks that pretend to be ordinary PDF documents. Open the wrong “invoice” or “purchase order” and you won’t see a document at all. Instead, Windows mounts a virtual drive that quietly installs AsyncRAT, a backdoor Trojan that allows attackers to remotely monitor and control your computer.
