If I were on #spotify, I’d cancel my subscription/account immediately.
King Gizzard pulled their music from the platform so Spotify has replaced it with #AI knockoffs of their music. As if paying almost nothing for streaming wasn’t evil enough, they’re now using LLMs trained on stolen content to pay artists nothing at all.
OTTAWA - In a stunning move, progressive conservative MP Michael Ma crossed the floor Thursday to the progressive conservative Liberal Party, just a few weeks after similar minded progressive conservative Conservative MP Chris d'Entremont did the sam…
Hey guys, so I got Terraria yesterday and I got terraria access set up and everything, but is there some kind of getting started guide or controls I can find to use? Thanks
I did something exciting this week! I relaunched my company website: futureethics.ai
It says, boldly, that we want to build ethical and sustainable pro-labor businesses that are pro people and the earth. It's scary to put that out in words because I feel like such an optimistic or naive person. But I don't know how else I can be.
I also started a Mastodon server just for work: @index
Over there, I will talk more about work, ideas, ethics, provide updates.

When creating PDFs, avoid using "Print to PDF." A screen reader user may still be able to access the text of PDFs created this way, but heading structure, alternative text, and any other tag structure will be lost. Using "Save As" or "Export" can preserve these tags.
#PSA: If someone says they accidentally reported you, it's a scam.
If someone says you need to verify your Mastodon account, it's a scam.
If someone says you need to change the email address on your account, it's a scam.
If someone tries to lure you off-platform to Discord or Telegram, it's a scam.
If someone jumps into your replies or DMs with a mutual aid request, it's a scam.
If someone from mastodon.social sends you an unsolicited DM, it's a scam.

Telltale signs of a scam:
- wants you to move off-site - wants you to change account settings - wants you to click something - unsolicited private interactions - new account - under ~20 followers and over ~5:1 follow ratio - sense of urgency - appeals to your compassion - piggybacks on a trending post or event
Thank you to all the new followers I got in the recent month, my posts are really not that interesting, I mostly complain about the state of tech and how cool tabletop roleplaying games are
Anyone on here also use Bluesky? I signed up back in June but am really just starting to use it regularly. I'm not giving up on Mastodon, but Bluesky is where a lot of news orgs migrated and I miss having those news sources. I should also note that Bluesky has really great hashtag alt text settings, but I have not come across anyone who uses them yet. It makes me wonder why did that catch on over here, and not there? Is there just something about mastodon users that makes them more inclined to care about #Accessibility?
I tried but since there seems not to be a convenient Windows third-party client, I decided to wait. Also want to try Threads, but again, it's web interface I guess.
@menelion If the person allows it, you can follow threads accounts on the fediverse. I use the Threads app on my iPhone, but it's not the greatest. If the posts are text posts, they're fine. If it's a picture post, there is no old text. Nothing even says that it's a picture post, it just seems like a blank post. I am not very impressed with threads.
@menelion Yeah, then you're right you're just looking at a web interface for now. I don't even use Threads or blueSky on my computer. I do it all on the phone. I don't think there are any options for computer use that I know of, and I am a Mac user anyway. Hopefully, someone develops something.
hello how are you doing am new to this social networking site and i will like to make a new friends here and more over i love making new new friends every where

The demo of DECtalk 4.3 includes a file named WORLD2.WAV, which is used as an example to demonstrate DECtalk's ability to play WAV files with a command. I recently found a higher quality 22 kHz version of this demo file, as part of The Adventures of Ninja Nanny & Sherrloch Sheltie of all things, under the name 1DONARAI.WAV. This version has a time stamp of October 27, 1990. The version included in the DECtalk 4.3 demo has a time stamp of July 13, 1994, and is downsampled to 11025 kHz, but also upsampled to 16 bit for some reason. I still don't know the source, but I suspect it's from a stock music library. For those who've never heard of The Adventures of Ninja Nanny & Sherrloch Sheltie, here's the LGR video covering it. It's supposed to be edutainment, but mostly ends up as a wild mishmash of public domain and stock music material stroon everywhere. youtube.com/watch?v=xSxaUHT3yo…. The original WAV file is available here: drive.google.com/uc?id=1LDNUtE….
We estimate there are ~4 times more relays than in the published list at chatmail.at/relays
Many relays are smaller ones, but that's fine. A 5 EUR per month VPS can go a long way (thousands or tens of thousands of monthly users). Thanks for the service to all the operators of which around 40 are in a loose group chat 💗
Chatmail provides FOSS infrastructure for interoperable, secure, speedy and reliable end-to-end encrypted messaging. Check out clients as Arcane Chat, Bots or Delta Chat today!
thousands of small VPSs running on different infrastructure providers can support millions of users together. A chat platform that will truly belong to no one and everyone.
@ariarhythmic yes, it's not currently limited but don't do more than 3 or max 5. There is no point, and your device will keep open as many network connections. If all your three relays die, you can still add another one then, send a message to your chats, and are in the chat game again.
@Delta Chat @GoFedi Any chance y'all could offer this? Currently I'm running on a dedicated account on my email server, but I don't like how much space its taking up over there.
@GoFedi @Delta Chat I'm not sure its a relay I'm looking for or a host? I do know that my current system is less than ideal and prolly could use a replacement, but I'd still like to keep it on my domain if possible.
@older in some sense of the word^^ we never focused on making it work, so probably some configuration issues would need to be handled. And even if we get that working, there are some relays with which it probably could not communicate, because they can only speak IPv4. So I don't think IPv6-only is worthwhile to pursue.
Queridas, ¿conocéis alguna base de datos de árboles mediterráneos que pueda usar alumnado de 1º de bachillerato? Os cuento: estamos diseñando un refugio climático, y tienen qué elegir qué árboles se podrían plantar, según las características. La base de datos debería incluir cómo de grande puede llegar a ser el árbol, si es de hoja caduca o perenne, si necesita riego, idealmente alguna foto, y cuál es la distancia que necesita para ser plantado. No quiero que lo busquen directamente en google porque ya sabéis. ¡Gracias! #Ayuda #Mastoayuda #Arboles #RefugiosClimaticos

#Christmas tastes nice. From the reaction of my humans, this was probably supposed to be a decoration. How was a #cat supposed to know?
