WriteFreely v0.16 is finally here, and it brings a ton of improvements, especially for the fediverse! We've also fixed some long-standing issues, like hashtags on instances backed by MySQL 8.0.4+.
Download v0.16.0 now and read on to see what’s new in this version.
Fediverse Likes
You can now see how many people have “liked” your post from the fediverse! If your blog has federation enabled, readers in the fediverse can “like” your posts, and now they'll show up on WriteFreely as a simple count on your blog post (visible only to you).
Improved Articles in the Fediverse
WriteFreely posts now look even better across the fediverse, especially on microblogging platforms like Mastodon and Threads. Now these platforms (and any others that support the preview or summary fields on long-form Articles) will show an excerpt of your post along with a link to it.
On ActivityPub platforms like Ghost that already support long-form Articles, your WriteFreely posts will come through in their full glory, as always.
Fediverse Creator Tag
We've added support for the fediverse:creator tag, which will show another fediverse profile (such as your Mastodon account) alongside your WriteFreely posts.
To add this tag to your posts, go to your blog's Customize page, and under Verification, re-enter your fediverse handle (e.g. @[email protected], and save your changes. Then, on your Mastodon instance, go to Edit Profile > Verification tab, and add your WriteFreely instance domain under the Author Attribution section. Then you're all set!
The EU decided to spend $4.2 million on UNESCO’s online speech censorship scheme. After JD Vance tried to get through to them, they decided to become even more authoritarian.
They want to quash free speech. While they are becoming more dictatorial, they constantly see the Heil Hitler signal everywhere in conservative photos, but never their own.
This is all Kabuki theatre as far as we can see. This seems very staged. The Russians have got to see that this is a setup. Trump is incoherent on the facts of what is really going on in Russia and Ukraine. He must be acting. He has lost it. Nobody is fooled. Trump will, when the Russians lose interest in this circus, continue to arm Ukraine. Instead of just washing his hand on this stupid, fucking war, the New York Republican is gladly claiming credit for being the first US president to arm Ukraine with Javelins.
Trump and the US are fucking paper tigers and the sooner people realize this, it will lessen the buthurt. Let's talk about Trump's Javelins, The Russians have captured so many Javelins that they probably have more of them in stock than the entire collective west. What a dumb fuck. There are a few things people should never trust. One of them is Republicans from the North East corner of the US. The other one are black republicans. Both groups are confused and conflicted and probably have low IQ issues too.
Trump is hopeless on this issue. Oh and this alleged spat between the EU and the US, it is all fake. It is part of a feeble plan that supposedly, will throw the Russians and their allies off guard, that will give them a respite in the fighting so that the west and by extension, Ukraine can hopefully regroup and get their asses together. It's a fantasy. The war is lost and not only is it hard for the UK and EU to accept the fact, it seems that Trump is going along, for the ride. Fucking Morons.
The people who think that the US, the EU, this whole fucking planet is worth saving, need to wake up. This is a condemned building just ready to implode upon itself. How in the world does one fix that? I'm done, we are overrun by fools. I'm triggered of course by this article on RT about Trump's 25% tariffs on the EU and the fake rift that everyone is pretending is occurring between the two entities.
No doubt the boomers are ecstatic. The Deep State whomever they are, are still pulling the strings, despite Trump being in the White House and playing his part. If Trump was serious about ending the aggressions between Russia and the Ukraine he would have long since, washed his hands. However, if one listens carefully to the Trump team, to his new secretary of defense, one will hear what the real plan is.
NATO, the EU and the US are spent. They're calling for a time out in order to regroup and adjust their war machines in order to comeback and resume operations to conquer Russia. Now, they're planning to obstruct China in the meanwhile while trying to gain the upper hand. ZOG should never be trusted.
Neither the EU, the US or the UK are accountable to their citizens. They march to the beat of another drummer. In the US at least, the elitists in charge have determined to pacify the natives for the time being, and are adjusting the boiling point on the proverbial frogs but nothing, has changed. The empire is hell bent on hegemony and world dominance and any Americans who think that ambition, will benefit them, because they're citizens, should keep their powder dry because we do not matter. We have been warned.
This is a very cool and clever hack, that may not work just for Mastodon. It could conceivably work for any site or platform that uses the ActivityPub protocol, but don't quote me on that just yet.
In reading the comments, one commenter, [email protected], include a link showing how he managed the same hack but instead of using a Mastodon instance, he used Lemmy. As of this writing two more commenters, [email protected] and [email protected] gave these two links, respectively. With David giving an additional one to illustrate the site of the implementation.
Keir Starmer, the idiot Prime Minister Of the UK is on a fool's errand which is apropos, since this is a mission for which he is imminently qualified. What interests in Ukraine, does the British have? Also, whatever those interests are, are they so important as to risk nuclear war?
He seems hell bent on provoking the Russians into a war even though it is clear that the US has stated that they will not be providing any security guarantees. As well they shouldn't. If Starmer wants to send troops to Ukraine, let him do so, but let him know, that he's on his own and all risks are his to deal with.
Starmer is a pompous ass and it's easy to hate the slimy bastard. As a matter of fact, we hate the entirety of the UK political class and we wish that they would all have painful lingering deaths and the same goes for the entire head shed, at the EU too. Never has there been a more horrible set of people so easy to despise. We spit on them.
We do live on a prison planet, don't we? Was it forever thus? No wonder, that anything tried, that even remotely looking like freedom, gets stomped out immediately. Our only salvation is that we do not have to remain here everlastingly. We do, eventually, have a way out.
It's not a lot of money by the way, but that isn't the point. 25,000 Rubles is approximately, $273.33 cents, depending on what day the calculations are made, however, one thinks that it is just best for most people on the planet, to be as far away from the regulators as possible. If one hates the laws, it is better to just move far enough away, until they can't touch one.
