As a photographer who has conducted successful and popular workshops, I am frequently approached for tips on photography in Venice. This majestic city, floating on water, is a haven for photographers. With its meandering canals and historic buildings providing a backdrop like no other, Venice is unparalleled in its photographic appeal. This guide is crafted to assist photographers of every skill level. https://www.msecchi.com/journal/capturing-the-timeless-beauty-of-venice-a-photographers-guide
I see these lists all the time and they always piss me off. Train yourself in the dominant ideology! Despite some of the titles, do NOT think critically about your society! Work, act, and think like a good, aspiring (if temporarily embarrassed) capitalist! Be more selfish! Cultivate traditional masculine virtues!
If there is anything out there on the interwebs that could fairly be characterized as:
The Absolute Idiot's Guide To Video Editing, And How To Teach An Old Dog To Do It When He Has Never Done Anything Like It, Preferably Using Best-In-Class FOSS Software Tools Which Are Herein Handily Identified For His Convenience
... it would benefit me for such resources to be made known.
Thank you!

🧵 1/2 Day23 #ArtAdventCalendar For me, #art starts in #nature, the greatest artist ever. With visual art, I can only use my #senses, observe, feel, recognise or create analogies and connections. It starts with an inspiring coincidence: 2 stones from a resting place with the dog. Leaves. The objects begin to speak. Stone structures and leaf patterns tell stories.
Can anyone point me to instructions for viewing a specific instance, e.g. mastodon.world? Is it possible to have a live feed to other instances? #mastodon#howto#mastodonhelp

Weird Idea: Would it make sense to create an audio version of this repair zine?
I think I'd like this project's accessibility to go beyond aesthetics and the printed word. I don't want to assume that just because you need a screen reader that you can't install an SSD into your laptop, or can't add thermal paste to your CPU
Sight challenged folks, I'd like to hear from you!

🆕 blog! “eInk Display for Octopus's Agile Energy Tariff”
I'm a little bit obsessed with building eInk displays. They're pretty cheap second hand. They're low energy, passive displays, with good-enough performance for occasional updates. Here's a new one which shows me what the current cost of my electricity is: Background After installing solar panels, a …
My year with Mastodon (#MastodonWrapped)
I celebrated my first #Mastoversary a few days ago. It’s been a good first year on Mastodon for me; I like the #Fediverse idea, I like people here, and I like the calm vibe this place offers.
Also, I ditched all of my other #SocialMedia accounts. All but one.¹
As I say, Mastodon is a good #platform to be, however there are a couple of things I’ve been struggling with the whole time. I’m going to put together a brief summary below in hope that someone can help me with them.
¹ I still keep Instagram to exchange cute pics of sloths and pandas, and ice-hockey reels with my sons. 😁

The thing that buggers me the most is boosting.
I know boosting is important because it’s the only way to spread the news around as there are no #algorithms here to force-feed us what they “think” is good for us, and I’m quite a #booster myself, too. But I’ve cut back a bit recently for a simple reason: I can’t hide boosted posts from my #profile.
I mean, when someone views my profile I want them to see my toots first so they can get an idea of who I am and, conversely, when I visit someone else’s profile I prefer to see what they have to say.
If you’re a generous booster but not so creative in the “#ContentCreation” department, just like me, you get a profile full of re-blogged posts where your original #toots are hard to find. And no, #Pinned toots don’t do the trick.
If there’s a #hack to work around this, I would much appreciate if you share it here.
