Discovered yesterday that Masto embeds do not work on our Drupal site -- as in they are not visible on the public facing page, although they appear fine in the back-end editor. Anybody here know what might be the issue? I embed other <iframe> stuff all the time and have never had this problem before. Any and all suggestions welcome.

@GuerillaOntologist If you inspect the page do you see the embed code in the source and it is just not visible? Or is the iframe tag not even visible in the source?

Archnemysis,
@Archnemysis@mastodon.social avatar

@GuerillaOntologist Interesting. This feels to me like some type of CSS issue hiding it or something blocking the Mastodon.social embed.js. I tried on a sandbox on my end and it loaded just fine. In Inspector, under Sources, do you see the source for Mastodon.social and the embed.js file loading?

Emory University awarded two students $10,000 for their AI study tool, then suspended them

@x_minus_t @jeffjarvis “The Council also claimed Eightball attached to Canvas without permission, despite it being stated during the awards competition in Spring 2023.” Saying you are going to do something, and getting permission to do it are not the same thing. Although it seems all AI tools have this same problem understanding consent.

I serve on my HOA and our President just called me and essentially cussed me out because I'm having a Q&A for people who want to run to be on the board because, in her words, "You could have just told people to come to me" and "You didnt ask for anyone else's input" despite the fact that I did and she just never responded to my email about the idea.

When is it OK to change the subject in your reply to a post?

Archnemysis,
@Archnemysis@mastodon.social avatar

@evan you definitely have given me something to think about. I chose often, but I think that’s because I look at the social web more like a party. Yes, it is rude to respond to someone’s statement and completely ignore what was said and start something unrelated. But part of what makes conversation happen is the ebb and flow. If I were having a conversation in real life, I wouldn’t walk away from one conversation to start talking about a different subject they might be interested in

Qs for sports people.
Why is spiking the after a touchdown frowned upon?

What's the equivalent in after a home run? Is it frowned upon?

NFL had fines & penalties against big endzone celebrations, why?

Do fines for unsportsmanlike conduct work?

How should winners deal with ?

Do fans STOP supporting a player or team if they are a sore loser? Or do they admire them for never accepting defeat?

What should winners do if opponents refuse to accept they lost?

Archnemysis,
@Archnemysis@mastodon.social avatar

@spocko The equivalent in baseball after a home run is basically flipping the bat. But there are degrees from a light flip to a full blown throw. The further along that spectrum you are, the more likely the opposing team is to bean you the next time you are at bat.

Archnemysis,
@Archnemysis@mastodon.social avatar

@spocko that said, I think you’re analogy is closer than you think. The reason end zone celebrations became frowned on was because they got out of hand. At the same time, the defensive equivalent was being penalized. When a defensive player finally gets that sack for a 20 yard loss, they are getting a flag for standing too long over the quarterback.

Archnemysis,
@Archnemysis@mastodon.social avatar

@spocko There is definitely an imbalance in football between what is allowed by the offense versus the defense. It’s just opposite of our justice system where the defense has wide latitude to celebrate but the prosecution is expected to never celebrate. But given only the prosecution has the power to take away life and liberty, I am fine with that imbalance.

Not sure if this is #unpopularopinion or #confession but I really should have paid for the factory half doors for my #jeep #4xe #rubicon. All the aftermarket doors just look weak and take away from the overall design of the Jeep. It’s too damn hot in Arizona to have full doors on during the summer but most half doors just look out of place on a Jeep.

What's the etiquette when your neighbours' have a washing out and your BBQ is the smokiest BBQ since the de'il himself last had a BBQ in hell?

My neighbour's laughed as the smoke from their BBQ enveloped the freshly washed laundry of their neighbours at either side.

Seriously though, would you warn your neighbours if you were going to create a lot of smoke?

(I was neither offender or victim in this scenario, just a bystander).

Archnemysis,
@Archnemysis@mastodon.social avatar

@morag neighbors on one side of my house are in a condo complex with very small patio yards. There are four houses right there in the area next to my kitchen and the ideal spot for smoking. But I roll my smoker to the other side of my yard away from these houses so as not to smoke them out. Besides, if they want BBQ, they can just poke their head over the wall and ask what’s cookin? Happy to share ribs, but don’t want to force it.

Which best describes you?

("records" in this context are shellac, vinyl or resin etc. recorded sound discs played using needle)

If you have some records you can play and others you can't choose the third option.

If you have a player but it's broken choose the first option.

You "own" a player if one is in your home and you can use it when you want.

You "own" records if you are one of the people who must be asked if they were sold or thrown away.

Archnemysis,
@Archnemysis@mastodon.social avatar

@futurebird The last option, and something I truly regret. I had a decent player and a large collection at one time, but got caught up in the relentless wave of new technology and the need to be efficient with space.

@veronica @futurebird Now I am curious, which artist has this distinction of being the only album you own?

What's your solution in #drupal for note titles that need formatting like bold and italics?
I almost always create separate "Title" (plain text) and "Display Title" (html) fields for content types, but I've never heard anyone else suggest this or seen it in practice. The bonus benefit of this is that it allows the plain text title to be used for sorting while displaying the desired Display Title, like if you want to prepend an emoji to the display title, or prepend an event title with CANCELLED:

Archnemysis,
@Archnemysis@mastodon.social avatar

@drupalthoughts
I have no idea why each title would need to be format a differently. Seems to me it would make for a confusing mess of a website if every title is formatted individually.

@evan I had an account on CounterSocial years ago when Jester first started it, but never really used it. Then when Musk took over I created a new account on Mastodon.social and have been here ever since. Might have had another account years earlier on some service as I like to sign up for every new thing. But if I did it never stuck.

Saw someone request the ability to block hashtags so I'll be building that out tonight!

Notice the Not Interested button 👀

Archnemysis,
@Archnemysis@mastodon.social avatar

@penfore @dansup thanks for asking that question as I was wondering as well. In our algorithm generated world I view a not interested button as a way of tweaking an algorithm, not as something that has a 100% effect like a block would. so something closer to Pandora’s thumbs down button, which just means play less often as opposed to not at all.

I am having a chronic pain flareup today and managed to spill an entire cup of hot coffee inside my office printer, just in case anyone is mistakenly thinking they're having the worst day.

@Lana, was it genuine Hewlett-Packard Coffee(c)? If not, their support won't help until you spill using their coffee.

@Lana Also, sorry to hear about the flare up. Hopefully it has lessened by now.

"CBS News, in partnership with The Trace and Reveal from The Center for Investigative Reporting, reviewed records from hundreds of law enforcement agencies across the United States and found that many had routinely resold or traded in their used duty weapons -- a practice that has sent thousands of guns into the hands of criminals.”

Our lives mean NOTHING to these people. THIS IS A SICK GAME.

@LenW @StillIRise1963 @Aviva_Gary @_L1vY_ In Arizona our government buildings are required to have gun safes so people can check them in when visiting. Everyone but staff go through metal detectors.
