Ok, hear me out! I was just wondering if I close my eyes (and therefore shut down my sense of vision), does my brain reduce its power consumption?
I mean: is all those sophisticated image processing in there turned off when there is no input? And if it saves power, how much?
Is there any way to make Mastodon any way darker?
I have the dark mode on, but all white pictures come out as pure eye-assault, even when my phone is also on dark mode, and blue light blocked.
Do any of the various #federated socials have the ability for a user to "watch" a post for updates (replies) without replying to the post yourself?
Sometimes I'll see a post where someone asks an interesting question, the answer to which I hope to see - however I have nothing of value to contribute, so I don't post.
EDIT: I didn't do anything and it seems to work¯_(ツ)_/¯
Might as well ask here too.
Currently, my personal account (@theotime812) is the only admin account, and the first account that was created on this instance. I've tried giving admin rights to a new account (@Admin), by setting it as moderator, then setting isAdmin to true in the database, then restarting the server. However, @Admin doesn't seem to be able to see the user info page (I get "An error has occured" on the page and "You are not an admin" in the console). Any idea of what I did wrong?
EDIT : J'ai rien fait et ça a l'air de fonctionner ¯_(ツ)_/¯
En français :
Pour l'instant, mon compte personnel (@theotime812) est le seul compte admin, ainsi que le premier compte qui a été créé sur cette instance. J'ai essayé de donner les droits d'admin à un nouveau compte (@Admin), en lui donnant les droits de modérateur dans l'interface de Firefish, puis en mettant isAdmin à true dans la base de donnée, puis en redémarrant le serveur. Mais @Admin n'a pas l'air de pouvoir accéder aux pages d'infos d'utilisateur (j'ai "Une erreur est survenue" sur la page et "You are not an admin" dans la console). Une idée de ce que j'ai pu mal faire ?
Question for the #Linux and #accessibility communities: if I want to send some money into the development of the linux accessibility stack, are there specific organizations or people that I can donate to?
Note that I want this money to specifically fund accessibility work, so a general donation to GNOME, for instance, is not what I am looking for ;)
(of course for individual people I do not expect them to dedicate 100% of their time to accessibility).
Earlier today I dug through some records of mine to see if my intersex condition was visible on my ultrasound. It IS. I don't know what the situation on posting the image is, so I won't post it unless it IS safe. Oh, and the doctors never caught it, so... #fediquestion # #medicalhistory#medicalerror#ultrasound#intersex
Hey fellow #Python programmers,
I think I remember someone posting a link to a website listing some mistakes that even rather advanced programmers still make. Probably related to some ill-known quirks of the language (shared reference related, etc, not your "10 most common mistakes" basic list).
However I cannot find it anymore.
Does it ring a bell, or do you have a favorite of weird Python quirks to share?
Dear fediverse, how do I follow a hashtag but filter out certain bot accounts which flood my timeline because they add that hashtag to every toot they make?
I have an issue with #Sengi ATM: the "media-viewer" element shows below the columns, meaning that I can't see/interact with media.
The same happens with the "meatball/falafel" menu on posts (to copy link, etc).
When I check the CSS, though, their z-index is supposed to be 9999999, so I'm not sure what's going on... anyone has had a similar problem? I'm using #Firefox 116 but this has happened from time to time in older versions (though not that often)
Dear #OpenStreetMap, #android, and #vegetarian folks, do you have an app to find vegetarian and #vegan#restaurants?
I used to have OpenMultiMaps that gave me access to OpenVegeMap but the project was discontinued and now I have to use #HappyCow and #VegoResto and I really don't like them...
Thanks in advance!
EDIT: ideally I'd like to discriminate vegan-only/vegan-friendly tags
On Calckey, if you report a post from another instance, is the report automatically sent both to your admins and the admins of the post you're reporting?
How should I explore the possibility of using an #algorithm on my feed? I would love to have a list of "the most recent post by each individual account I follow" in addition to the reverse-chronological feed, because some people post lots (which is great) but I am interested in what everyone I'm following has to say.
Is this a thing we can do on the fediverse? If so, what do I search for? If not, should I just make a suggestion on GitHub?
I'm curious how the new federated / defederated alignments will impact us ...
If follows/followers are on a defederated instance will we no longer see their posts?
If one instance (1) defederates a different instance (2), will that change anything for people not on either instance (3) with follows/followers from both 1 & 2 ?
I am wondering about a #federation behavior: say I have three #Fediverse instances A, B, and C. Important: instance A blocks instance C.
We have a person pA on A, pB on B that follows pA, and pC on C that follows pB.
What happens when pB boosts a post from pA? (When) can it reach C or pC?
I expect that, for #Mastodon it should not happen but I'd like to confirm this and to know whether it is also true for other platforms and what it depends on.
What Github alternative are people using now? I've used many others for work projects, but never for personal, but I'd like to migrate out of Github at some point.
#FediQuestion
Is there a #mastodonclient , preferably browser-based, so that, when I view a thread of replies, I can easily see which people I am already following and follow those I am not, WITHOUT having to leave the thread to load every commenter's full profile?
Currently, I go down a thread, click on each username, check if I already follow them, and if so, go back to the thread and refind my place. It's slow. Or I can ctrl+click each name to open in new tabs, which gets me rate-limited.
In particular, #rst relies on long equal or dash lines so I do hope it's handled as a title rather than two separate lines where they would read a long list of punctuation markers...
