overview for Tuuktuuk

I tell them it's a social media built in a way that makes it impossible for any company to take over it in order to make profit. And then I show them to some instance I've hand-picked for them, without really telling them there are other instances as well. It's not something they should worry about at that point. I can explain it later on, anyway.

How about people driving those trucks that directly dump mixed waste into the ocean? That's a very common thing to do in South-East Asia. Plus, there are a zillion villages everywhere around there that dump all of their mixed waste into creeks going through them – to be brought "away". Into the oceans.

That's where almost half of all microplastic comes from. Then there's the other approximately half that comes from cars' tyres. And then a part of a percent that comes from drinking straws and such. Hooray.

Could the other galaxy please pull us just the correct distance away from the sun to cancel the effect of global warming?

Can I make my browser open Threadiverse-links in my own instance? (piefed.ee)

So, PieFed's way of retrieving a post that you're viewing on a "wrong" instance is quite slow for the user. You press the icon with the magnifying glass, scroll to the bottom of the page, read texts on both of the buttons, choose the correct one (Retrieve post), then wait for the page to load – which is suprisingly slow, then paste the URL in the field and press enter, and then wait for the next page to load and still have to press a link.

What I'm envisioning is that if I'm viewing a page such as https://sopuli.xyz/post/32069389 , I could just write "Piefed" in front of the URL, making my browser load the "Retrieve remote post" page with the relevant field prefilled with the URL after that word. So, if the URL says "Piefed https://sopuli.xyz/post/32069389", I then get to the page with a link to https://piefed.ee/post/85356 , enabling me to click that link and get to comment on the post.

This would streamline browsing threadiverse a LOT, because it keeps happening that I find links that throw me to "wrong" instances. Sometimes they are in threadiverse comments, sometimes* they are out there in the big internet. It's an annoying chore having to click a button and wait and click a button and wait and then click a link and wait again. Anything that streamlines this experience would be very welcome!

So, is there a way to make this happen on Firefox? (Also, could we please get the field for writing the URL to fetch right on the Piefed UI? Such as, click "Communities ▾", then throw the link into a field on the bottom of the thing that opens that way (and maybe get to the requested page immediately without having to click an extra link first?)

*) Still very rarely, but it has already happened!

What was your first hitchhiking ride? (piefed.ee)

I began hitchhiking when I was around 16- or 17-year-old. I was at a summer camp's reunion at someone's place in Nummela, and wanted to try how hitchhiking works.

It was a 24 km ride home, along a straight highway. I got the ride near the Citymarket in Nummela and left near Ikea in Espoo. A beginning that eventually led into me identifying as a hitchhiker :)
