As a person who ages ago created and single letter (before the @) email address thinking myself clever and efficient… I’m amazed and distressed how many forms have insisted that my email address is invalid.

The wealthy NEED the airports to keep running so not to interfere with their vacation plan. Starving kids on the other hand can simply be rewoven as doormats by any good capitalist.

The blueberries are ready when they taste good to you. Some people like them earlier for a more tart flavour.

And yet their makeup is impeccable. Article says “young people”, but curiously only cute women in the pictures.

“It looks cute, and yet, you don’t lose that feeling of sexiness.” Ah, the all important feeling of sexiness in the office that women strive for.

Multi-reddit-like functionality.

Users being able to group communities together themselves might also be a potential solution to the many, many posts complaining about the fragmentation of identical communities across instances.

Sometimes a bandage helps to stop the bleeding.

Sometimes bandages are left on too long and wounds fester.

Bandages can be useful sometimes, but care must still be taken.

Ai Weiwei lived in China most of his life, and was openly critical of the government there. He has been imprisoned before. In his family history, one of his parents was internally exiled. This is a brave person who knows a few things from personal experience and deserves some respect and consideration, even if you disagree.

Vogager has a web app version, if that’s what you mean by front end.

I haven’t tried it but I’ve been thinking about it… Since NextCloud supports s3 storage it would seem its photo apps, such as Memories should work that way?

To me this perspective seems to reach the exact opposite conclusion than it should given its premises.

Crickets is a good alternative. Especially when sprinkled on avacado toast.

Seems like a tacit admission at very least that to anyone without access to these internal documents the accusation of genocide is reasonable. Interesting.

“In the non-violent condition, however, participants with higher scores in Machiavellianism had a higher increase in cortisol” - linked study

So people trying to be manipulative bastards in ‘nice’ games increase thier stress? Interesting.

Unfortunately the source study appears to be paywall and not yet on sci-hub, so don’t know what specific games they used. As to how they define Machiavellianism, I assume something toke this:

“In the field of personality psychology, Machiavellianism is a personality trait characterized by interpersonal manipulation, indifference to morality, lack of empathy, and a strategic focus on self-interest.” - Wikipedia

Ask why. Then probably work on subversion… because it is seriously doubtful they’ve come back for any good reason.

Similarly I use COPS (php calibre front-end)… But with no users or auth. If you can guess the URL you are in! Exciting.

Thanks for the link. Yeah, my server is old. COPS is old, but still works great for me. .

Calibre has built in server, but while running server (last I checked) it locks the db so you can’t do much with the Gui, can’t add books etc. Also I’m already running a a web server with php so it’s more efficient just to slap the COPS web app there rather than run yet another server.

I don’t actually know anything. But casually to me it looked like a choice between 160% chance of it getting worse and a 300% chance of getting worse. And it’s not very surprising at all in these circumstances many go for the latter for all sorts of reasons (and delusions). But I don’t actually know anything.

Works well with nextcloud also.

Note at top of developer web site:

Distribution of Enhancer for YouTube™ temporarily stopped! Due to the countless changes that the YouTube developers have made, Enhancer for YouTube™ is now completely broken for Firefox (partially works for Chromium based browsers) so I had to pause its distribution.

So far I’ve found the Improve YouTube extension does many (but not all) of the things Enhancer did.

I seem to recall on reddit there were a lot of subs that somehow had mods who modded hundreds of subs, and didn’t participate and weren’t a part of the actual communities. It seemed these people just liked collecting subs. I’d worry that with an automated system people like this (or even bots) will show up, and just start squatting (so to speak) on the mod rights to communities. Time will tell, I guess, with growth.

Currently have six apps installed and periodically jump between them. But for some time now I have unexpectly found myself mostly using Voyager. I just love poking the eyeball?

Aves is really good. Used Simple Gallery Pro for years and it was great. But switching to Aves is painless for me.

phanopy is an interesting mastodon front end that groups boosts periodically into a side scrolling container. The effect is that your feed is a lot cleaner, but you still can look at boosts if you want to.
