My German has gotten rustier and rustier since my mom died nearly 10 years ago. At that point, she was my last living German-speaking relative. It is getting harder for me to read and forget hearing it at this point.

Anybody out there have interesting and not too heavy German language first Fedi folks they follow? Bonus points if they don’t mind interacting with someone whose German language skill sucks?

This morning, JD Vance arrives in Budapest, Hungary, in an attempt to save Viktor Orbán from the Hungarian people voting him out of office on sunday.

I doubt this will work. No European leader is as corrupt as Orbán, and the polls show the Hungarians have had it.

Many are asking me to put my videos on PeerTube, but every time I look at it, I see an overly technical user experience that I do not trust to take off.

What we need is for Mastodon to become a video platform, so THIS social medium which has now matured and people clearly love, gets robust video features.

You do not beat YouTube by making users jump through hoops to watch a video. You beat YouTube by making user sponsored creator videos turn up right in the Mastodon feed.
