@dansup @JustineSmithies often thought this would be a great idea

Does anyone know if you configure @Mastodon with an alternative domain name, do users get to choose the domain they want or are the assigned the default and just have an alias to the other?

Ok I should really know this but can’t find the setting for the life of me. How do I get a little icon on the bottom right hand corner of my profile picture? #mastoadmin #mastodon just like below

@rolle you were right it was an old version of Firefox causing the display issue with verified links. (115) the ESR version on debian.

The comments on my videos have been way more negative lately. Not sure what I'm doing differently.

Or maybe just the internet is getting more troll-y

Ric,
@Ric@awscommunity.social avatar

@thelinuxcast have you considered switching to Peertube?

I'm thinking seriously about getting Google out of my life, and trying NextCloud.

Looking to get a personal account through a managed provider.

Does anyone have any experience with it?

How does it compare to ownCloud?

Any hosts I should look at or avoid?

Any apps I should get for it, or avoid?

Any issues I should be aware of before I switch?

@asklemmy

Ric,
@Ric@awscommunity.social avatar

@ajsadauskas @asklemmy I’m also doing this but doing some of the hosting myself. I’m using @doncow to host my own email. I’m also looking at @cryptpad for apps. Those could fit your needs also. I’m not a nextcloud fan but I think these do have integrations.

Any #GoogleSlides experts here?

I want to make embedded videos work when offline. Is that possible?

The videos currently work when online, they're shared with the right permissions. I've told Slides to work offline. Chrome is up-to-date.

But the vids don't play when WiFi is off.

Any clues, gang?

(Not looking for alternatives to GSlides, thanks.)

Ric,
@Ric@awscommunity.social avatar

@Edent are they embedded as in uploaded or from YouTube? If from yt you could potentially use YouTube downloaded and upload them that way maybe. Just guessing at a work around here

Ric,
@Ric@awscommunity.social avatar

@Edent have you made the videos in drive available offline

Ric,
@Ric@awscommunity.social avatar

@Edent hmmm I don’t still have a Google account but I believe in drive.Google.com you could click the actions icon next to the file and say make available offline. Or if you’re on Mac or PC use the sync client to get an actual copy locally

@ivory is this a big or a feature, I have the same issue also.

@dustinrue @ivory @andycarolan but if you go to the profile of the user on the website instance their signed up to you can get this data.

Another thing that's different from my childhood:

How ubiquitous the #ReadersDigest was. It was in every doctor's office and in as many homes.

I don't remember the last time I saw a Readers Digest.

@Ric@awscommunity.social avatar

@vwbusguy the phone book and the yellow pages, you don’t see many of those either these days!

Why does Apple keep making the iPad thinner when all we want is to run OSX on the thing!?

Ric,
@Ric@awscommunity.social avatar

@andycarolan I would settle for being able to run containers or virtualisation on iPadOS. At this point it could do everything I need (in theory).

Is it me or are reports in sometimes really confusing and unclearly laid out? Also I seem to get moderation from people on different instances about people on other instances not my own, is this normal?

Wtaf just learned that Americans call “soldering” as in soldering irons “soddering”. I was informed by @geerlingguy and he’s blown my mind 🤯 I mean dude you’ve only had the language 200 years and you’ve broken it already 😉 this risks special relationship! (To others reading I’m just joking)

Aside from relays and adding elastic search to a mastodon instance does anyone have any other things they do to enhance the user experience? #mastoadmin
