Next major version of the livechat plugin will have a now "to-do list" feature!

Here is the user's documentation:
https://livingston.frama.io/peertube-plugin-livechat/documentation/user/streamers/tasks/

Let me know if you have some feedback on the documentation: is it clear? are they some "english mistakes"?

@John_Livingston

Hi John - I would be happy to copy-edit for you. I have an English writing bachelor's degree...
... et je parle un peu français.

You did a fantastic job for a person who learned English as a second language. That being said, I would make the following changes:

"All room’s admins..." at several places in the document should be rooms' (with the apostrophe after the s).

@John_Livingston
"he/she gets instantly access"

You should probably say "they get instant access" or "they instantly get access". I would prefer the first option, though.

"You can also edit existing tasks list"
I would say "You can also edit existing task lists"

Also later you have "tasks lists" should probably be "task lists". Task is an adjective modifying lists, and thus singular.

Ah, yes. In that case it should be "every room's admins" instead of "all room's admins".

I made some other changes in in the pull request.

You may need to fix my "all rooms'" to "every room's".

Hey there, are there any #HoosierSocial #HoosierMast pictures of the #aurora? I guess it should be visible to us, for once in our life! Please share!

Also, I've been trying to make #HoosierPix a thing! 🙃

My comedy 10-minute play "Carthago Delenda Est" was selected to be produced - with real actors on stage - for the Civic Theatre of Greater Lafayette's Play Festival! I'm giddy with all the good feelings. 🤩 If you're in over the last weekend in June, come out and see it!

Thanks to all the people who helped proofread, and gave me suggestions to make it better.

In December, we started to federate the accounts of some Flipboard publishers and in February, we introduced Magazines to the fediverse. Now, we’re taking two important steps: federating the accounts of 400 creators and expert curators; and enabling two-way communication so that new followers and fediverse activity are visible and actionable in the Flipboard app.

To learn more about this, take a look at our blogpost:

https://flipboard.medium.com/flipboard-federates-11-000-magazines-by-400-creators-and-enthusiasts-82dd94691f74

Find all the handles of our newly federated curators here:

Thanks so much to everyone who has given feedback on what we’ve done so far. We welcome your thoughts and comments as we continue on our journey to fully federate Flipboard.

@Flipboard Thank you for this! This makes me want to follow a bunch of people here and on FB (, not the bad "FB").

I'm glad you can see the value in the , rather than other technologies (cough cough) which are on a dumb bubble trajectory. The Fediverse is where the real next wave will be.

I was trying to figure out what actually meant. Sadly, is becoming much more susceptible to .

I'm afraid if I want a real , I may have to have to pay for it with .

I'm still a little fuzzy about what "Eid Mubarak" means, but I think it means essentially "Happy Holidays" to those who are participating in the feast at the end of the month of Ramadan. So, if that's you, Eid Mubarak!

@gilhova I'm trying to estimate how much I use search engines, and I think it's a lot. Maybe hundreds of searches each month? I've been in a habit of - "Hey that's a neat thing! Let's look that up!"

I do maybe 5-10 searches a day?
That's 150-300 per month?

So, that's a power user tier at Kagi for $10 per month, or $120 per year. Still probably worth it, for how much I use it. Especially considering how annoyed I get at shitty ad-laden responses from other search engines.

@gilhova DDG was what I got the inappropriate results in the picture upthread!

I know they have to be profitable as a company, but it makes the results seem tainted if I have to scroll down past the annoying ad gunk.

They want religion to cover "my religion" not "your religion".

What does it mean to federate your Flipboard profile? In the simplest terms, it means that whatever you curate (aka share) on Flipboard will be "syndicated" out to the fediverse with no extra effort. @miaq tests it out and breaks it down.

@zdl @Flipboard @miaq

I'm not OP, but seems like a sort of a link aggregator (called "flips"). You can keep your own links (publicly or privately) and follow other people's curated links, and comment on them.

A little bit like a or - except the links are emphasized more than the conversation.

I didn't know how to federate my links, though. So this article is interesting!

Yay! This cool tool from shows the percentage of eclipse and exactly when it will occur, based on zip code. Just click your location on the map. It also shows the predicted weather at the time!

https://eclipse-explorer.smce.nasa.gov/

Boo! According to the tool, Indiana is showing about 100% cloud cover at eclipse time. I've only been waiting for this for about 30 years! 😭

ScottStarkey,
@ScottStarkey@hoosier.social avatar

@gilhova I'm still trying to remain optimistic. I wonder where the tool is getting its weather data?
