Fortunately aus.social blocked threads for me ... Is there anyone seeing any changes out there in the fediverse?

@melissabeartrix I think threads has not yet turned on interoperability (sic) so they are not here yet

Write your representatives and tell them to get on the fediverse/mastodon. It’s about time we didn’t rely on billionaires to communicate with our government! I just sent the mayor, and my district supervisor a physical letter and an email!

Link them here if they don’t know where to start!

@cd24 All mayors should start instances for their towns.....

Looks like people in Nigeria, Kenya and perhaps Uganda are moving en mass to Truth Social. They were so addicted to twitter that now with the limits many feel like their life is at an end. I talked to a young lady today and she sounds very depressed, not sure what to do next. But Truth Social.... yo, not sure how that happened, but its trending in these countries and a flock effect is happening. Sadly.

@spandauAnders Yes. I think they do. Many Christian conservatives in Africa supported Trump as they see he belongs to evangelical Christianity. A church in Nigeria even organized a march in support of Trump during his second bid....

It's a quiet Sunday morning here. I spent all of yesterday writing a 5K word treatment for a feature film, and today I have to write a 6K non-fiction essay for an academic publication. I can't say I'm having a fun weekend :-((

It's Friday so we do a thing? I'm a transmedia artist from Uganda, mostly work in and in the realms and would love to follow people in the same fields, generally, but anyone involved in the business, or those who and have a good sense of humor. I'll such folk.

Its hard to read a post with so many hashtags, but well, looking to increase my and so give me a boost or tag people you think I should connect with.

@dilmandila@mograph.social avatar

I have failed to find a solution to this, so perhaps someone here can help me? Using @linuxmint and I want to associate .blend files with the blender logo, and any files with its associated program. How do I do this?

I'm a bit stuck now. A big corporation has not paid me work I finished in October last year. Its in the contract that they can take this long to pay as they conduct audit. But I'm broke. 😭 Banks in my country can't give me loans because I have no running contract.

Does anyone know where I can urgently borrow money online? $2K Payable within 6 months.

Can anyone lend me this money?

dilmandila, to linux
@dilmandila@mograph.social avatar

Trying to move away from Windows to Linux Mint but my biggest annoyance so far is installing software. Like the most effective way is you have to be online to install software and that consumes data. I have 3 to 4 machines I use regularly, so if I am to migrate all to Linux, I'll have to download software 3 or 4 times, not once as in windows. A pain and costly.

@linuxmint

@dilmandila@mograph.social avatar

@flipsideza I prefer the manual updates, because sometimes the newer versions don't work for me and I have to roll back.... but yes, I have tried getting files to install offline but looks like for each software I have to take an entite course.....

@flipsideza Thanks! Will look into it 😊

I guess I never really made an post, so here we go.

Hi, I'm Lorhin (she/her). I'm a gamer, and I stream sometimes on . I enjoy a variety of games, though I don't tend to play much horror, puzzle or mobile games. I play on and my .

Used to use Twitter more, but kinda distancing myself from it as much as I can, for reasons as you can probably guess. It's why I decided to start using Mastodon.

So yeah. Hope to see you all around, and nice to meet you.

    So Publishers Weekly gives a kind review of my new collection of short stories, Where Rivers Go To Die, saying it is a "meticulously concocted volume full of starkly vivid imagery and gripping prose. These tales are guaranteed both to tickle the imagination and give readers the heebie-jeebies."

    Remember Christian Cooper? Bird watching while black in Central Park had 911 called on him because his blackness threatening someone. Must have been those dangerous binoculars!

    Christian will be the host for National Geographic's new show "Extraordinary Birder", a six-episode series to premiere June 17, on Nat Geo.

    Ordinary People. The only movie from 1980 that could nose out Empire Strikes Back as my favorite movie from that year.

    Mastodon: On the bird site, The Algorithm determined who saw your posts, but here, if people follow you, they get all of your posts!

    Also Mastodon: Your server admin is in a pissing match with the admin of a popular server, so now you've been defederated and 15% of your followers won't hear from you anymore.

    dilmandila,
    @dilmandila@mograph.social avatar

    @maxleibman There should be polls so server admins can ask their members if they should defederate, and why. 😊

    @Mehrad @Liberapay @opencollective The changes at patreon are annoying. New creators can't choose to be paid per episode (I think) yet doing it monthly is a bit tricky for a new creator to grow their patrons. I am still on per creation since I created my account in 2017 but havent charged patrons since sept 2021 because I haven't made a short film since. Patrons would feel cheated if they were contributing monthly
