Today I am thankful that generally cutting off part of your finger above the top knuckle will generally grow back.

    I'm still laser focused on the @pixelfed app, but I now have a lot of experience with React Native and building production Android/iOS apps.

    My goal is to lay the framework and basics for the Kbin app, in the open, and encourage the Kbin community to contribute and steward the direction.

    Ultimately, my goal is to work closely with @ernest and for him to have veto over any changes I make until it's formally handed over.

    ash,

    @dansup @pixelfed @ernest

    Thanks a million !! I have a pixelfed account & have made one post there; I'll be more active (God willing) & really appreciate u for all that u do :))

    p.s. It's not that im stuck using Insta ; I simply havent dedicated time to photo-sharing yet ^•^

    Más éxito para ustedes !! 🌸

    ash,

    @davidrevoy "but it's an open standard!" mhmyup, u wait for their disproportionate effect on the system; I'll stay campaigning against them at every turn.

    They haven't displayed a change in behaviour satisfactory enough to assuage my concerns yet.

    Call it paranoia 🙆🏻‍♀️

    Hug your today.

    There's a lot of shit flying in the lately and a lot of times perspective seems to get lost. Yes, there are things we need to talk about, and yes there are things we will not agree on. And that's okay.

    But leave the pitchforks and torches out of this.

    Fedi admins put in the hours and effort and emotion into making fedi happen. Sometimes they make decisions we might not agree with. We should criticize, but we should not pile-on.

    ash,

    @admin Thank you / Danke / Merci / Grazie / Grazia :))

    Zielepiet is another Dutch word that is really tough to translate to other languages. :krulorange:

    @jwildeboer Can you please share an approximate or contextual translation for an idea of what it means?

    Mass drownings at sea are to the EU what mass shootings are to the US.

    • It keeps happening.

    • And every time it happens, politicians pretend to be concerned, yet keep in place the government policies at the root of the problem.

    • So, it keeps happening.

    ash,

    @andrewstroehlein They feel less invested because those suffering aren't nationals and idk whether the US' [vocal concern + political deadlock] or the EU's is more disappointing.

    See, this is commitment. Keeping it locked down, redirecting to alternatives.

    https://www.reddit.com/r/truegaming/comments/149c1vj/rtruegaming_is_remaining_restricted_and_some/

    ash,

    @rodhilton Quoted from the post:

    links to this article from adweek, on advertisers' troubles https://www.adweek.com/social-marketing/ripples-through-reddit-as-advertisers-weather-moderators-strike/

    > "We are already hitting them in a measurable way"

    I love that the adweek article contradicts the internal memo leak in which CEO u/spez claims the blackout "hasn't had a significant revenue impact" 👇 https://www.theverge.com/2023/6/13/23759559/reddit-internal-memo-api-pricing-changes-steve-huffman

    That's too funny 🤣 maybe reddit inc. isn't feeling it yet but the boycott's sure being felt by lower-level affiliates 😂 PR, eh.

    tchambers, to RedditMigration

    organizers aren't fooling around and many have shifted into full on scortched earth on Reddit and to mode:

    ash,

    @tchambers I believe people should not engage in sabotage as protest 🪧

    Replacing original content with gibberish is well within one's remit but I feel it's more ethical to simply delete or substitute with sm along the lines of "This text has been changed in protest at blablabla"

    I am apprehensive about this type of behaviour and would be wary of anyone engaging in such joining these alternative & happy spaces.

    Kindly protest with grace, friends ☺️🤞
    Please spread positive energy! 🫧🪺

    The best EV for anyone living in a city is an electric bicycle, IMHO and experience. A comfy and practical one. Not some pseudo sporty stuff. With big bags. So you can do your shopping, go out for a picknick in the park, to the lake or whatever. You don't need a car for everything. This is my daily ride. And at a bit below 900€ quite affordable, IMHO.

    ash,

    @jwildeboer Bless you! 🚲🕊️ Thank you; I've been so happy with mastodon since i joined <1wk ago .. mainly because of posts like this! I'd like to buy an electric bike soon as I'm in a cycling-friendly environment now. Super; danke !

    Another article made it through peer review (at ) with the false claim that all journals charge .
    https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00381-023-05969-2

    Reminder: Only a minority (≈ 31%) of OA journals charge APCs, even if a majority of articles pub'd in OA journals are in the APC-based variety.

    ash,

    @petersuber Have u sent a text to the paper's author(s) (the page isn't loading for me rn) with ur suggestion? They may just be oblivious to DiamondOA; reach out with ur complaint !! :D

    ash,

    @petersuber Thanks! On behalf of the authors, the publisher & the public :))

    Things that will never happen:

    1. me becoming a morning person
    2. me not absolutely freaking out about my exams

    The only thing that has changed as I reach middle age is my acceptance of these immutable facts.

    Seeing Big Tech folks jump into the fediverse and – without so much as a “how do you do, fellow kids?” – roll up their sleeves to write the rules, dream up commercial services, and pontificate about how advertising should run on it. 👀

    ash,

    @aral I've enjoyed reading the conversation below the original post. My hope's that Big Tech gets its attention pulled away by developments in the metaverse 😅 like in the 'distracted boyfriend' meme template
