A couple of years ago, I proposed the following:
Build a migration path from Meta/Facebook/Threads to the Fediverse, and place ads on Facebook, to let people migrate to the Fediverse very easily.
The ad will compare the Fediverse ( uncensored, free ) with Facebook ( censored, closed ) and advertise the benefits of openness.
On clicking the ad, the user will optionally be asked a few questions, and be matched with a Fediverse instance based on their interests. The user can also skip the questions, and choose a random instance.
The user will also be offered the option to join a "Migration Registry" to re-connect with their Facebook friends on the Fediverse.
The user's profile will be migrated to the chosen Fediverse instance, along with all data, and contacts.
If they used the "Migration Registry", the user will be reconnected with all their Facebook friends, who also opted into the registry during the Migration. Re-union in Heaven, or the Fediverse ( close enough ) 😜.

Why wasn't there more accountability for the colossal 2024 #Crowdstrike / #Microsoft outage?
Where is the #government and the avalanche of lawsuits?
Other companies lost over US$10 billion¹, people's lives worldwide were affected, with some even at risk² & countless #IT admins' weekends ruined.
Meanwhile, their #stock price is almost back to its all-time high³!

Renfe considers the latest #crisis of the Talgo Avril #trains to be solved and estimates the cost of the #NewYear's incident at 1 million
This has been confirmed to EFE by Renfe sources, who have detailed that since 07:00 hours on January 1st, all the self-propelled trains of the 106 series (Standard and Conventional gauge) were inoperative due to #software loading problems. The company informed in a message on the social network X that “once the computer failure of the Talgo Avril trains has been corrected, the usual schedule has been restored normally since the beginning of the service on the three corridors linking #Madrid with #Galicia / #Asturias, Madrid-Zaragoza / #Barcelona and Madrid-Levante”.

I have spent a week writing a massive article about Windows 2. It has sexy screenshots and is full of incredible trivia. Why not spend the New Year's Eve reading it? ;) https://www.ninakalinina.com/notes/win2/LGBTQIA+ and Tech
As we approach the end of 2024, I thought it'd be helpful to compile a list of the self-hosted apps launched in 2024 that I found to be particularly noteworthy.
And while I think this is a great list, I do have my own biases. So if you're looking for new software to deploy, please don't limit yourself to my list.

#Microsoft confirms showing two new #ads on #Windows 11, calls them “notifications”
source: windowslatest.com/2024/12/19/m…
Windows Latest recently reported that Microsoft is showing new ads on #Windows11, including one for #BlackOps 6: Vault Edition and another for the Microsoft Defender app (the cross-platform version), which requires you to use #Microsoft365. In a statement to Windows Latest, Microsoft confirmed that these “notifications” were indeed served to users.
In the past you used to pay for proprietary software not to get #advertising and today it's the other way around.

It’s said that the player has 24 real-life hours (72 hours in-game) to rescue their family, and the timer is reflected in-game by the player wearing a watch on his wrist.

EXCLUSIVE - Ubisoft Wants to Change the 'Far Cry Formula' with Far Cry 7 and Maverick - Insider Gaming

#Microsoft: Our #documentation is big #bullshit and we have no desire to change it. Users can ask #AI if they need help. Nobody reads the documentation anyway.
source: github.com/MicrosoftDocs/WSL/p…
Thanks for the contribution here and appreciate your attention to detail. We have decided to keep as-is.. part of that decision is that more and more folks are using AI chat to access guidance and tables don't always translate well in that context.

That is hands-down the worst response to a documentation #patch that I've ever seen.
Nobody wonders anymore why Microsoft software is so bad with this mind setting.
