Technically, by law, everyone who got "ordained online" and can legally officiate weddings is now also legally a mandated reported in the state of California.

@vwbusguy Speaking as someone who got online ordained and officiated > 0 weddings... what now?

@vwbusguy Hunh OK. Not in California but interesting.

trashheap , to Nintendo

It's been underreported. But there is considerable chatter that some Yuzu developers had access to official Nintendo SDKs, which really calls into question if it was really clean room reverse engineered.

Video Game Esoterica covered this a little while ago.

A lot of outlets are acting like it's mysterious that Nintendo seems to be ignoring Ryujinx, but if such reporting is to be believed; then the motivations behind targeting Yuzu specifically become practically crystalline in their clarity.

threadsrelay@sekretaerbaer.de appears to be an account that is seeking out specific hashtags to boost into threads.net. One of them is .

This implies to me it is specifically targetting folks who are avoiding threads.net.

Machine translation of it's german description:

This is a private relay about threads and the Fediverse. Current posts are recorded with the hashtags fedipact, meta, threads (Relay)

EDIT: Boosts, appreciated. I think a lot of folks would be interested in blocking this behavior.

EDIT: Being told that boosts shouldn't work yet with Threads.

Still having and in my profile, this behavior is troubling.

This also being a friendica instance, im unsure its not also getting cross posted somehow.

@downey Unsure if boosting public social media content, could be construed as IP infringement; but not a half bad idea. Probably the only way to tackle such behavior from the other end, assuming meta is inclined to care.

Whats up with "podcast syncing" standards? Is there a way to subscribe to a from a web browser have its listen history stay in sync between @AntennaPod on one device and @podverse on another device?

@semitones @liaizon @AntennaPod @podverse RSS in general could benefit from this. If there were even just a standard filetype where a client could store the hashes of the last 50 episode/articles titles you've played/read per feed or something, you could at least then synchronize that with whatever file syncing solution one uses.

Would love to ditch my self-hosted web based RSS reader, for just a bunch of clients+syncthing.

Would be VERY interested to do it with podcasts too.

really needs to advertise backports more somehow.

Debian has good hardware support, and can opt into even newer drivers if needed. Just no one knows about it.
