Question:

How can Fediverse be more "private" while also not ruining the experience for those who like things the way they are?

There's already a way to make your posts private so that there's no way for anyone to see them without your permission.**

Could there be another way without destroying discoverability?

I can't think of any, but I'm obviously not the sharpest tool in the shed.

Obviously Mastodon needs to start by removing the RSS feed or make it an option to turn off. As it stands, most people don't even know it's a thing because it's not documented.

Thoughts?

**Besides admins and moderators. They can see everything if they want to, including DMs.

@BeAware @cdp1337 I couldn’t even export my private key accidentally, even if I wanted. It was generated and lives on an OpenPGP Smartcard and cannot be exported from there (by design!). To decrypt the message @cdp1337 wrote me, I had to insert the card and enter its pin in order to let the smartcard decrypt the message.

Of course, GPG keys can also be stored on the computer within files and nowadays there are USB based solutions like the Yubikey and the Nitrokey, which implemented the same protocol but I still use my old GPG cards. (My primary use-case is that I use them for SSH Public Key authentication to my servers and to sign rpm packages for software, I built)

We need your help to release the #LibrePlanet 2024 videos. Some talks were not recorded due to a disk error. If you recorded the streams locally, you can help us complete the sessions we are missing and bring them to the rest of the community.

It's so sad to see popular Fedi accounts specifically made to help new users with Fedi nuances, spread fear, uncertainty, and doubt regarding Threads federation.

Someone who is supposed to foster goodwill across Fedi is actively engaging in fracturing it....🤦‍♂️🤬

One of the KDE Plasma features I use almost in daily basis is the MouseMark.

Go to your settings, in Desktop Effects, Enable the MouseMark (you can change the settings of it in the button in front of it). Then press Meta+Shift and move your mouse to doodle, or press and release Meta+Shift+Ctrl to define beginning and end of an arrow (it will draw the rest.

Interestingly enough, it have been in Plasma for the past 16 years:

Awesome feature, however, the arror part doesn't work for me. When I press Meta+Shift+Ctrl and move the mouse, it looks like this:
