Anyone ever check out this 'Ground News' service the toobers are pushing?

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?

Boosts welcome!

I'm experimenting with new profile layouts in the new Pixelfed app.

Which one do you prefer?

I have a dear friend here in the US who needs to crowdfund for their top surgery by end of July.

Are there any nonprofits that facilitate such a thing? Or is GoFundMe really the thing to do? Any other questions I should be asking?

Grateful for all thoughts & input from folks with experience :heart_trans:

Boost, plz! :boost_rainbow:

I'm jealous of the little Python logo badge many of y'all have next to your names and many 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 server is receiving “GET /poco” requests from servers (based on the user-agent). Can anybody point me to the documentation for this behavior?

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 ?

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:

  1. Fits me and is comfortable to wear and put on;

  2. 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);

  3. 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.

Boosts appreciated; thank you.

I need a text to speech service. What alternatives are there? Is everything AI now? Are there any open source solutions? Any ethical solutions?

Oh, and I need it to sound OK with Swedish. It doesn't have to be perfect.

Having established that dandelion seed heads are definitely NOT known as DANDELION CLOCKS by everyone I have a follow on question...

What DO you know them as?

Chatting to people already I have had FLUFFS (Lithuania) and WINDY PUFFS (Canada) both of which are SUPERB.

Are there any others? Will there be enough to make a World Map of Dandelion Names?! 😃

Places, names & any other trivia welcome!

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?

So my cousin set up my grandmother with a Roku box for TV. She’s enjoying Freevee and news apps and YouTube.

How can I buy her specific shows or movies that she misses? Amazon? Some other service? It’s gotta be user-friendly.

(All of it’s worth getting her off satellite TV because she’s stopped watching Fox News.)

Thirty years ago, a friend and I concocted a TTRPG with its own system (custom stats and mechanics etc) and setting, and it might be fun to try and make a CRPG out of it.
Assuming zero specific knowledge and non-existing art skils on my side, is there a free (or close to free) engine that could allow me to get something up and running to see if makes sense?

If you were to overhear another professional stating they are “anti-woke,” what would that mean to you?

What assumptions might be made?

If I need to collect e-forms from people with confidential information on them, what's the best/responsible way to do it?

Is there an easy way to use for this?
Should they just email the forms? (But that's not encrypted, right?)

I have a fillable PDF form set up, but it's going to have legal names and bank accounts, etc. I need to keep that private.

Surely there is some standard practice for this kind of thing? 🤔

Edit: Unbordered won! https://mastodon.social/@dansup/112437818096142087 (I liked bordered more, but the people spoke and I listen)

I need your opinion, I can't decide between bordered or unbordered sections, which do you prefer?

Bordered vs Unbordered

Yep, just checking my instance logs and anything related to alpha.polymaths.social is getting a 401 Unauthorised response.

Any other instance admins getting these? I'm seeing it on 3 of my instances, I don't think it's just me!
