When I think about reading, the activity, I think of it as something distinct from listening to an audiobook. I enjoy the physical and mental act of reading. It is recreational for me in a way that listening to an audiobook isn’t.
But I do love and listen to audiobooks, and listening to audiobooks “counts” as reading, whatever that means. If you ask me what books I’ve read, I’m going to list those I’ve read and those I’ve listened to (and in some cases I’m probably not going to remember which is which). urusai.social/@nazokiyoubinbou…
72 Stunden – insbesondere über ein Wochenende – sind kaum ausreichend sind, um auf ein hochkomplexes Gesetzesvorhaben in angemessener Weise zu reagieren.
Die betroffenen Verbände und Organisationen, darunter auch der Verein Tacheles e.V., hatten gerade einmal drei Tage Zeit, um eine Stellungnahme zu einem Gesetz zu verfassen, das weitreichende Veränderungen im Bereich der Bürgergeldgesetze und Arbeitsförderung vorsieht.
@Bundesregierung Ich möchte das bei der FDP sämtliche Leistungen zusammen gekürzt werden,das die Abgeordneten der FDP nur noch ein Taschengeld bekommen und mit Wasser und Brot abgespeist werden.Und das alles nur um ihnen den Anreiz zu nehmen soviel Scheisse auf meine Kosten (Steuerzahler) zu fordern.Ich will diese Menschenverachtende,Klassistische,Rassistische Scheisse einfach nicht mehr hören müssen.Beendet endlich diese fucking Ampel Geschichte. #Migrationspolitik br.de/nachrichten/deutschland-…
This deserves a highlight: "Two years ago, one of us (A.C.) made a prediction in Fortune Magazine that a few years of ‘learning to live with’ COVID (i.e., pretending it doesn’t exist) would lead to a billion cases of Long COVID. A recent estimate pegs the total incidence so far at 400 million cases of Long COVID. Long COVID is well on its way to becoming the world’s most common disease."

what's wrong with hubzilla? it has the most fine grained post propagation strategy, aka circles and stuff like that. Also, there's friendica and such, which is kinda similar, but not really. Since _streams is a fork of hubzilla, should we be worried about that too?
@esoteric_programmer reputation for admins who leave instances running on autopilot with open reg which then get overrun by botspam posting marketing at best.
@hazelnoot if you have had to deal with a lot of instances posting, uh, media legally risky in jurisdictions including but not limited to where most hosting providers are located (US, EU): you’ve probably encountered one. Akkoma or Pleroma soft-fork.
@Ezzy @hazelnoot well it’s hosted on hetzner servers. the top post listed pieces of software, not hosting providers.
honestly pleroma is below my threshold for “automatically be very suspicious of this instance” given how it’s still popular for single-user instances. in replies, i singled out the top three but not the top four for a reason.
I'm just going to say it. Whoever designed the new notifications layout and design for Mastodon needs to go back to the drawing board (and UI design school). In some cases, esp if you start off with a tag, it looks and works horribly. (desktop view). Way worse than the old way just a month or two ago.
please fix the date picker color; it is always green it does not matter the theme in use. And please also fix this quite old bug on Android. Thanks. One more thing: pinch to zoom would be great too.
I'm launching a hosting provider which gives heavily discounted resources to open-source and non-profit projects!
80% cheaper than digitalocean 40% cheaper than hetzner
while i'm still testing my infrastructure i'm offering your first instance with 2 cores & 2 ram gig for free(!) so i can test how my hardware performs on production.
if you're interested you can check out the site or just reply/dm me! wedotyou.net/
(edit: go follow the mastodon as well! @wedotyou )
(edit 2: if you’re curious about our specifications, policies, and detailed pricing, it’s all on our help center: help.wedotyou.net/ )
It is awesome so many people are enjoying Zombowl. I like helping people get into the Halloween spirit. As Type O Negative says, "Every day is Halloween."
The Toby Doom Operation MDK Walk Through iw now available on Youtube. I will start on the walk through for the Deluxe Map Pack soon. Some things have change a bit now that Toby Doom version 7.5 is out.
I found a great, brief resource on creating accessible web pages and documents. It only highlights most common accessibility issues, so it's much less overwhelming than the WCAG. I think it's a great resource for people who don't know where to start! Also it has before and after examples, so it's great to demo with a screen reader as well! #accessibilitywashington.edu/accesscomputing…
Greta Thunberg joined our United for Climate Justice coalition today and our blockade of a busy Brussels' street. This disruption of traffic and of business as usual is nothing in comparison to what the climate catastrophe will wreak. We need urgent action now, but we're still rushing headlong into a terrifying future, all for the sake of greed and growth.
Getting an appointment for a new Texas state ID involves logging onto a website at 7:55 AM and crossing your fingers that it will load while every other person that needs an appointment hammers it at the same time. Same-day appointments are usually gone within 60 to 80 seconds of that time. We even have tools that people have made to deal with this like: github.com/phamleduy04/texas-d…
2 Monate Fahrverbot und 150 Tagessätze für den Todesfahrer von Andreas Mandalka. Das erscheint manchen wenig, die Geldstrafe ist aber fast ein halbes Jahreseinkommen. Nichts kann ein Menschenleben aufwiegen.
