I would like to hear from people using screen readers. Do you prefer the hashtags to be intermingled in the body of the message, or separately at the end?

Example of the former:

"I did a #thing and after doing #AnotherThing I was happy"

Example of the latter: this post 😉

Please boost.

Looking for a #FLOSS #podcast player for #Android. Any recommendations?

I see that #FDroid has a good bunch, but would like some opinions before trying every single one, lol.

The only requirements are that supports local storage and remembers the last playing position.

If when landing on a #blog's home page you are greeted with a list of the most recent articles, what do you prefer to see?

Assume that each element of the list links to the standalone article.

Don't consider the #RSS feed when answering, that will be handled separately (full article).

"Web components have their own grain and it favors enhancement over replacement"

"if you’re looking for longevity, opt for a technical approach of augmentation and enhancement over replacement. The web’s grain is arranged in that direction."

Does anybody know how good is this #HumbleBundle about #indieGame #gameDev for somebody with 0 experience?

What attracts me more are the ones about #GodotEngine, #2D design, #PixelArt and #Unity 2D.

What cool top-level domain do you think is appropriate to use for a personal website and as email domain?

It is not a blog, just a website listing some of my projects and career. In other words, to replace https://cub3.net with something easier to spell.

Today I just discovered ".digital" is a thing, but of course "sergi.digital" is already snatched, probably by some domain speculator.

New post: Speed up Python dictionary lookups

You can "intern" strings to improve performance of dictionary lookups, but using them is not as straightforward as one can think.

I want to hear what you folks use to sync blogs/webpages over SFTP.

So, the setup is that you have a bunch of files (HTML, CSS, etc) on your local computer, and you want to update your hosting with the latest version, having only SFTP access.

I am mounting it locally with sshfs and then using "rsync -vuz --delete --recursive <source> <destination>", but I feel like there is a better way (or better rsync options).

hi @elementary. Is the Slack Community restricted to Gmail, Apple and Elementary emails? I can't figure out a way to join.

Whenever I post a bunch of stuff on here I get superstitious. Has the site actually managed to process my toots yet? Sometimes I get bursts of notifications that cluster together in odd ways. Sometimes things are so close to real time this feels like a chat app, sometimes it feels like a fidonet email system with even initial reactions delayed for hours. I cannot help but wonder if this is the architecture of Mastodon or some property of my audience or just Internet weather.
