Any implicit standard on how to contribute #AltText on someone else's media, that apps like #Moshidon load up from replies? Any of the apps that are about to implement similar thing?
Anyone got any knowledge of good printers particularly suitable for high-quality printing things like cards, pin badge art, posters, etc? Thanks in advance! #art#printing#AskFedi
I got a DM about how to host a Website as anonymous as possible, especially viewed from the outside with as little attack surface as possible. I already threw a bunch of my ideas in the room, but maybe you can think of something I haven't thought of...
Please just answer to this post if something crosses your mind from security over hoster to the website itself, I will link it to the person.
Hi, is there a way to disable image's alt text showing up in iceshrimp instance? It is little disturbing. I think there should be that option, but I can't find it at settings. #iceshrimp#firefish#askfedi
Does anyone who uses #OpenTracks on #Android know where marker photos are stored? I took some pictures on a ride today, but I can't find the actual picture anywhere outside the app.
A friend of mine has a dumb TV that she wishes to use to watch various "internet" based services like BritBox, YouTube, and Netflix. I suspect that an Android based "media player" box is the easiest way (without buying a television) for me to make that happen. She does not want to hook up a laptop to the TV and use it to play media.
Is there a better option than an Android box? And if not, what do I need to know about buying one of the many available boxes? One of my concerns is that at some point the lack of updates will force her to buy a new box. Is that a likely thing?
Question: is there an alternative frontend to Substack – like Scribe to Medium? I loathe the platform and never share articles from there, but there is at least one publication that would be worth it.
I've been asked to do an online meeting on Friday and this will involve screen sharing. I tend to avoid these things like the plague and have already told them I don't use Zoom or Teams.
Are there anythings I need to be wary of from a privacy point of view?
I'm jealous of the little Python logo badge many of y'all have next to your names and many #Python community folks I appreciate (@fedidevs, @ThePSF, and many others) are on fosstodon.
I've been posting on mastodon.social for a while and I have no meaningful complaints though (ever since the servers were upgraded!).
Should I switch to fosstodon.org? (Multiple select voting is allowed)
My #ActivityPub server is receiving “GET /poco” requests from #Friendica servers (based on the user-agent). Can anybody point me to the documentation for this behavior? #AskFedi
Been reading r/worldnews for a decade now and lately it has been really revealing what a propaganda machine it has become. Just got perma banned for pointing out that "legal war targets aren't necessarily ethically correct"
With Artifact gone, reddit basically gone - what other sources do you use for #geopolitics?
You would not believe the struggles I've had sourcing footwear. For five years now, I have been completely unable to find a shoe that satisfies all three of:
Fits me and is comfortable to wear and put on;
Doesn't break within weeks (including not just aesthetic damage but breakage in the sole letting water in, which is both uncomfortable – I've had to buy waterproof socks – and makes the shoe stink and therefore unusable long-term);
Is of even a broadly acceptable style.
Ordinarily, "get an artisan to make you one" is not the most helpful answer to the question of how to acquire something, but in this case I'm desperate. Hence, this #AskFedi, where I'm seeking a shoemaker in the South East of England who I can commission to tailor me a pair of shoes.
I'm willing to pay a fair bit of money (but not huge prices), because I can't afford to keep replacing shoes that are functional for maybe a whole fortnight if I'm lucky, or taking a punt on the latest shit that Long Tall Sally assures me will actually fit on my feet at all this time.
