60-hours a week, plus commuting time? Probably just a requirement for salaried workers.

I'm surprised the article was laser focused on return to the office, but didn't mention anything about the even worse 60-hour-a-week work requirement (plus commute time) that they are asking for.

Jerry's post says he blocked 2 others. Other than lemmy.ml, what were the other 2?

I'm glad you asked. This has been irritating me for a long time.

From the article:

"... a number of organizations that voted to abstain seem unenthused (and uncertain that it can actually be implemented), so this may not come to pass, especially on the timeline proposed here."

The proposed target is 2029. It's just a proposal. I don't think "probably" is warranted.

Been there, done that, with my Friendica instance. 2 days of downtime while rebuilding a corrupted database, while people are tapping their feet waiting for all to return. I'm with you in spirit, my friend.

Thanks for all your hard work keeping the dream alive! And for keeping good backups

I tried translating something before posting it to the same language (Thai) and apparently nobody understood what I was talking about. But enough people understood English, so at least some people would have understood me if I just posted it in English. The others could try translating.

Responding in English, if this is your language, is not Anglo domination. A lot of people learn English as a second language, so many know it. If you translate to Japanese and post it, then when people translate it to English, or Spanish, whatever, it will make no sense whatsoever.

When I traveled to France, a Middle Eastern family came into the restaurant and asked for the English menu. They couldn't read the French menu. But they knew enough English. That's when I realized that restaurants in France offered English menus, not for Westerners, but because more people in the world were likely to understand it rather than French.

I post in English. Translating from English to Spanish is better than English to Japanese to Spanish.

Yes, it's worth it. I own mine for just the reason you give. You can take it to any other provider. And there's no danger of the email provider deciding to close your account or cutting you off unexpectedly. Imagine losing your email access. At least with your own domain, you can switch it that same day to someone else.

Unsure about whois lookup privacy. My registrar hides my details as an option. Anyone looking up the domain just sees them as the contact for the domain.

Have you tried asking in [email protected], the Friendica support group?

I'm so glad you pointed this out. I did not have this enabled on mine and I forgot about this option completely. I just enabled it.

Yes!

I have a Peertube server, and I've requested to follow tilvids, and they denied my request, and they also do not follow my Peertube server. I think one issue with tilvids may be that they essentially choose not to federate, and therefore you won't find much because of this.

I just searched for "Gaming" on my Peertube server and I seem to get a non-ending list of servers. Unfortunately, one column wide, but a lot. When I search for King's Quest, I am also getting a seemingly unending stream of videos.

I follow every Peertube server I can that is clearly not fascist, primarily NSFW, NSFL, etc.

Maybe you just need to find a server that is more federated with other Peertube servers.

Are you using an obscure email provider? They may be rejecting the emails based on the domain name or because the IP address was used for spam ages ago.

I run a number of Fediverse servers and rarely, but occasionally, run into a situation where an obscure email provider rejects my server emails out-of-hand as spam. I think in my case it's because the IP address of my server, maybe years ago, before I had it, was used for spamming or something.

Anyway, if you're not using a mainstream email provider, you might try using a different email address.
