Write.as is now #FOSS! 🎉 We've named the software behind it #WriteFreely.

WriteFreely lets you self-host a single federated blog or a community of blogs. It's written in Go / #golang, it's lightweight, and runs everywhere -- even on a Raspberry Pi! (We tried 😁)

We just launched v0.1 this weekend, and v0.2 is already coming out early this week. You can try a full demo here: https://pencil.writefree.ly

Get started with hosting or find a permanent instance here: https://writefreely.org

#Firefox #ProTip: Stop videos from autoplaying! (Updated for Firefox 63!)

1. Go to `about:config` and convince it that you know what you're doing.

2. Search for `media.autoplay.default`.

3. Double-click `0` and enter `1` if you want to always block, or `2` if you want to be prompted for every site that tries to autoplay (which can help with some sites that don't work quite right with blocked autoplay.)

4. Enjoy your significantly-more-pleasant browsing experience!

I can tell the Fediverse is getting larger/growing up by the number of ridiculous and petty comments that end up reported. It seems that people are programmed to be unkind

Those travelling to New Zealand are required to hand over their #phone (Presumably #unlocked) for customs to undertake a file by file search. Failure to comply would result in a fine up to $5,000. Definitely an invasion of #privacy.
