ThunderSky is one of a growing chorus of Indigenous parents demanding provincial and territorial authorities allow them to bestow Indigenous names on their children — with all the special characters, syllabics, accents, numeric or other non-English or French symbols used by some Indigenous languages.
Who knew typography and font choices would one day have this effect.

Before I make the changes, what does that mean in practice? I have an account on Mastodon and it sees posts from baraza
communities. I am on lemmy0.14.3 if that helps.
Was this nginx config a requirement when updating? I did not see it in the docs, unless it was baked in during the updates.

Did you try to follow Baraza communities via Mastodon? I did see that "Cancel Follow Request" sporadically and now it seems resolved (displaying "Unfollow"). The mastodon federation is still at the community level. I will check in with @nutomic@lemmy.ml on what that means exactly. Is there a role for the remote Mastodon admin to play so that "Cancel Follow Request" move to full "Unfollow".

Update after 18 hours or so:
This post did not federate to c/Africa on Baraza even though it appears like so on Lemmy.ml. I updated the install from 0.14.1 to 0.14.3 and new posts made from lemmy to baraza did federate. Proximate cause for non-federation could then be different lemmy installations. But I was getting content on Baraza from lemmy, just not posts made directly to communities there.
Even after updating, a post to Baraza from Lemmy is not federating:
- Post on Lemmy to a Baraza community - https://lemmy.ml/c/africa@baraza.africa
- Community on Baraza without recent posts from Lemmy: https://baraza.africa/c/africa
I will observe this issue and probably make a proper issue on Github.
Important speakers and theme, even though Eventbrite is a privacy-eroding application.
> For the investigation, we listed 209 office holders we deemed to be among the most senior in the country. We then attempted to determine their ethnic identities which, in Rwanda, is passed down through the father. Of the 205 senior figures whose backgrounds we could confidently ascertain, 166 were Tutsi and 38 were Hutu.

Welcome but please post the Microsoft link to other communities that are interested in those kind of things. This community is about central bank digital currencies.
baraza - 0.14.1 lemmy.ml - 0.14.3 I am posting from [@halo@lemmy.ml](https://lemmy.ml/u/halo) to [!africa@baraza.africa](https://baraza.africa/c/africa). Baraza is also federating with mastodon.social. A mastodon account, [@mbiruiru@mastodon.social](https://mastodon.social/users/mbiruiru) follows baraza.africa/c/africa community. When the mastodon account replies to the post made by the lemmy account on baraza community, the reply goes to lemmy only and is not propagated to baraza. will comment on this post with observed changes.

Under assumptions, what is the motivation to participate in social activity? Is motivation assumed to be an ontological primitive?
This is an interesting post.

The full force of Ethiopia’s army, with all its ground and Air Force assets, was involved alongside militia forces of neighbouring regional states, not to mention the introduction of drone warfare supplied, arguably, by a non-Africa country.

I agree. It is hard to see how a centralized powerful entity would cede that power to a decentralized system if their aim is not to turn decentralized communities into name-only but centralized in practice.

Twitter (at least their CEO) claimed they were interested in a decentralized form to allow more communities. ActivityPub, Matrix, Status etc were mentioned. But it seems these harvard people would like to build a new one instead of joining and improving the existing.

PARKINT: > For this blog post I analyzed satellite photos of the parking lots at CSE headquarters, CSIS headquarters, Canadian Forces Station Leitrim, NSA Fort Meade, and GCHQ Cheltenham. With the exception of CSE (which uses a parking garage for most of its parking), roughly the same pattern can be seen at all of these sites: a sharp reduction in parking lot use around late March 2020 as the first wave of the pandemic struck, greater but still reduced occupancy in May and June 2020, and a return to full lots by the end of the summer of 2020. There is very little evidence of reduced parking lot use during the winter 2020/2021 wave of the pandemic.
`baraza` is a public square as imagined in Bantu philosophy. All are welcome, but you may note it leans more on African stuff.
