@Tim Chambers And again, Friendica, Hubzilla, (streams) and Forte are way ahead. They were all made modular right from the start, and they can all be expanded with third-party add-ons and third-party themes (provided someone makes them) by adding third-party git repositories to your server. It helps that they themselves are all installed via git in the first place.

For example, it's possible to add entirely new protocols as add-ons. On Hubzilla, protocols that aren't Zot (ActivityPub, diaspora*, RSS/Atom etc.) are add-ons and off by default for new channels. Hubzilla's counterpart to Mastodon's lists, only vastly more powerful, is called "privacy groups" and an official add-on that's off by default again. CalDAV calendar server? Wikis? Webpages? All add-ons. (streams) and Forte have a somewhat different set of add-ons and a different set of add-ons that are on or off by default for new channels.

You can bolt all kinds of stuff to these four as third-party add-ons. Want a dating platform in the Fediverse? Just write an add-on for one or several of these four that ties into their (main, public) profiles with their dozens of fields, and you've got one.

Better yet: You can upgrade the whole server, the core, the official add-ons, the official themes, third-party add-ons, third-party themes, in one fell swoop. Not first the official stuff and then each third-party repo one by one, but all at once. At least on Hubzilla, (streams) and Forte, util/udall is the little helper that does it all for you.

This is for my fellow NVDA users. I just saw this on Reddit and wanted to share it. This is a wonderful add-on. I used it when it was first created, but I stopped because the author was still working on models, apparently, and the one I was using was no longer available. (It was the only free one at the time.)

Pues me acabo de enterar de que Wayback Machine @internetarchive tiene una extensión genial con versiones para todos los navegadores más usados. De la descripción:

"Retrocede en el tiempo para ver cómo ha cambiado un sitio web a lo largo de la historia de la Red, guarda sitios web, accede a páginas 404 no encontradas, o lee libros y artículos archivados."

Esta es la de Firefox (y derivados):

Da ich mich immer ein wenig unwohl fühle, wenn mehrere Daten von mir konzentriert an eine einzige Stelle gehen ( #Mozilla #Firefox ), obwohl #OpenSource und ein transparenter Umgang mit dem Thema #Datenschutz, habe ich heute Morgen auf den noch ein wenig privateren #Browser #LibreWolf umgestellt.

So bequem die Möglichkeit der Synchronisation zwischen mehreren Endgeräten auch sein kann, die Daten der #Lesezeichen, #AddOns, vielleicht sogar die #Passwörter und neuerdings auch E-Mail-Masken und obendrein auch noch die Telefonnummer-Maske sowie einem #VPN in die Hände EINES Anbieters zu geben - lieber nicht ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Die Integration von #KeePass war zwar ein wenig herausfordernd, aber jetzt habe ich mich auch hier noch ein wenig besser absichern können 😀

@raccoon I mean, people usually pick #DLC as acronym for #microtransaction-centric #cosmetics and not for means of #Distribution, because as per #ToS of #Steam, all #Games there are legally DLC...

  • I see #AddOns and #Expansions in a different category even if they are distributed conveniently as download content!

In that specific context I differenciate these as the latter two actually had time, effort and actual creativity invested beyond just creating another texture or sth.
