#smolweb #fediverse #php

With #SmolFedi 1.2.0 it is possible to use OOB copy/paste login mode for old browsers.

compatibility with #dillo

Dillo blocks cookies by default, which prevents sessions from persisting. Allow cookies for your SmolFedi domain:

echo "yourdomain.example ACCEPT" >> ~/.dillo/cookiesrc

Replace yourdomain.example with the hostname of your SmolFedi instance. Restart Dillo after editing the file.

For instances that cannot be reached directly from the Dillo machine (e.g. when the old computer has no modern TLS support), use the copy/paste mode on the login page: check the box, copy the authorization URL shown, open it in a capable browser to get a code, then paste the code back in Dillo.

The Fediverse deserves a dumb graphical client

I love the Fediverse. I have been on it for years, and it remains the only social network where I actually enjoy spending time. No algorithmic feed pushing outrage, no dark patterns, no surveillance capitalism. Just people talking to each other over an open protocol.

But every time I wanted to recommend it to someone, I ran into the same wall: the clients are heavy. Mastodon's web interface ships megabytes of JavaScript. Elk, Phanpy, Ivory, beautiful apps, but they require a modern browser, a fast connection, and a device manufactured in the last five years ...

Edit: try #SmolFedi :

#SmolFedi 1.0.7 manages user defined Lists of profiles. A new entry in the menu for each list. And possibility to add/remove a profile in lists.

(at the moment, you can only use existing lists, nothing to create or delete one)

I think #SmolFedi will be my preferred #Fediverse client on my smartphone and my old tablet. Very lightweight, fast, useful. I wonder why I should use something else.

Let me know which missing feature would be a must have.

(if it had poll editor, I’d propose some :-D )

Web eco-design

Best practice guidelines

Our digital uses already represent 40% of our annual sustainable budget, both in terms of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and the depletion of the last reserves of non-renewable resources (abiotic resources). That's 10 times too much!

Eco-designing digital services allows us to better control and limit their environmental and health impacts...

We're all walking contradictions, and that's okay.

I champion Free Software, self-host everything, and preach digital sovereignty... and I carry an #iPhone in my pocket 🤷‍♀️ No shame.

(Still no Windows though. Some lines you just don't cross. 😅)

Your values don't have to be a perfect system. They just have to be yours.

All my clients wanted a carousel, now it's an AI chatbot!

It always starts the same way. The client pulls out their phone mid-meeting, navigates to a competitor's website, and holds the screen up like evidence.

"You see? They have one of those."

A little bubble. Bottom right corner. Blinking...
