Did you leave your Wii at the #EMF2024 Swap Shop?

If so, it's now hosting my blog:

Huge credit to @jmcwhatever for the effort porting NetBSD to the Wii!

This blog is hosted on a Nintendo Wii

@jamesnorray Looks great! For a minute I thought you were remaking Skool Daze https://zxart.ee/eng/software/games/arcade/platform/classic-platformers/skool-daze/ Shame, as I loved that game.

I never played Teacher Story. I'll look forward to playing your version.

@awsamuel Sorry for the slow response. We fixed this issue this week, so you should be able to post to Bsky without a link back to the note now.
@awsamuel Yeah seems like a good strategy! I have found some communities here and on Bluesky, that don't increase my anxiety, but the best approach is probably to engage in real life more.

It's such a busy time of year, I forgot to promote our festive social on Tuesday.

Come and join us in the Caxton for a chat and a drink

@awsamuel I think with Social Notes, I'd be inclined to use one or the other at the moment.

We've got an item on our roadmap to have the option of boosting the blog post/note via the connected Mastodon accounts, which I think would help with this. That way, the note would be federated, and then promoted via your Mastodon account.

Take 3 minutes to tell Mozilla Foundation the only thing you want from it is Firefox funded by donations.

Backstory: Mozilla Corporation (not Foundation) controls Firefox, so there is no way to donate to Firefox’s development, which is why MoCo is more interested in building an ethical ad network instead of a browser to fight ad tech.

@awsamuel I help develop Jetpack Social, so it's great to see it working for you.

I thought I'd let you know that we developed the Social Notes feature for this use case. It allows you to create posts without titles and separate from your main blog feed. That way you have your own microblog that you can publish to all your networks.

You might want to look at the ActivityPub plugin that turns your site into a 1st class citizen of the Fediverse.

What Jetpack social posts look like across platforms - Alexandra Samuel

Rather than choosing a new home on someone else’s social network, can you use WordPress as a publishing hub for all your different networks? That’s what I’m trying today. You can read the explanation of why I’m exploring this option in the post I used to test Jetpack Social, which makes it easy to post […]
