Recently, several users expressed a desire for a way to quickly check if the images in the toot they were about to boost were described. It would be nice if Mastodon itself offered warnings for that, as well as for forgetting to describe media in your own posts, but until then, this is actually one problem admins can fix on our own! All you need to do is go into the site settings and add a bit of CSS code that will display a red border around any undescribed media. There are two examples available, depending on how subtle or noticeable you want the border to be; experiment and see what you like! gist.github.com/FiXato/3de505b… Thanks to @IngaLovinde for thinking of the starting code and @FiXato for improving on it! They did all the work here; I am just sharing this along. Open this post in a new tab and look at the image to see how this can look like. The example image is my avatar, described in another pinned post. #MastoAdmin #MastoDev
CSS user style to add a red border around media (images, audio, video and animated 'gifv') that lacks a description. Based on code by Paul: https://linernotes.club/@balrogboogie - Mastodon-...
Wow. Google and iHeartRadio are fined big time by the FTC. Apparently iHeartRadio and other radio companies accepted money from Google to have their radio personalities talk on-air about using the Pixel 4 phones in 2019 and 2020. But the radio personalities did *not* use the devices, at least some of them. The commercials for the Pixel 4 were scripted and faked. And the FTC said that's deceptive. radioinsight.com/headlines/245…
The Federal Trade Commission and attorney generals for the states of Arizona, California, Georgia, Illinois, Massachusetts, New York, and Texas have entered into agreements with Google and iHeartMedia to settle a lawsuit for airing nearly 29,000 dece…

Remember this has good and bad repercussions whether you use Flickr or not, it would be the first time an old giant joins us but also would bring many many new issues we would have to face together. Please boost for reach!
@mike Wow. I was just telling my team this morning that I'd read the #ActivityPub spec last week and said "It's possibly the best written, easiest-to-follow, technical spec I've ever read.". Thank you for writing something so easy to follow and well thought out.
There are many, many Mastodon servers (aka "instances") - big, medium, and small sized servers - but 84% of Mastodon users are on the largest 1% of servers (like mastodon.social) and 97% are on the largest 5% of servers.
The next time someone tells you that browsers could maybe automatically fix accessibility issues for us, remember that some folks are trying to override the Firefox *feature* that makes scrolling content areas keyboard accessible: bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.…
This traditional recipe for quick-and-easy, Italian-style pickled eggplant known as melanzane sott'aceto does not require a complicated canning process.
@zkat a esa receta le cambié esto... sin perejil ni pimiento; más menta, ajo y chile; muchísimo menos aceite de oliva. Ahí les cambian el vinagre después de enfriarse, pero yo las dejé en la salmuera del paso de blanquear. Están deliciosas.
@categulario @zkat ya se las puse a tacos de pollo en achiote con piña, sangüich de chayotes salteados con huevo estrellado, y unas tapas de pan de centeno con feta.

Bis eben habe ich @fdroidorg für diesen nerdigen App-Store gehalten, den ich mir installiert habe, weil ich so paranoid bin. Aber dieser Artikel hat mich davon überzeugt, dass es cool ist, viele verschiedene Shops zu haben, die alle nach eigenen Regeln kuratieren. Dann ist es auch nicht mehr so schlimm, wenn eine App aus dem einen Shop fliegt. Der ist dann halt nur woanders. f-droid.org/2022/11/23/why-cur…

"Stop creating products and platforms that exclude people with disabilities." "This message from Noam Bardin, one of the founders of the new social media platform Post, is awful and just plain baffling." accessiblesocial.substack.com/… Yup! #a11y #socialMedia #prodmgmt
Mastodon was on the same path in 2017 and only started slowly changing because Twitter pushed the envelope on accessibility. Some of the current accessibility bugs here are a consequence of late accessibility implementation.

OK in terms of scaling #Mastodon server infrastructure, this looks interesting:
"CIRA is proud to announce its official partnership with Mastodon Canada, mstdn.ca, to support its growth and community-building efforts. As thousands of Canadians flock to the platform, this unique partnership reflects CIRA’s mission to support Canadian internet communities built on the open web and powered by a .CA domain."

F-Droid ist ein installierbarer Katalog mit FOSS-Apps (Free and Open Source Software) für Android. Der Client vereinfacht die Suche und Installation von Apps und behält den Überblick über Aktualisierungen.

Der Client, die Server Software, oder… * F-Droid Repo: Einer der vielen verfügbaren Kataloge (Repositories). Wie das Fediverse, ist auch F-Droid dezentral – und es gibt zahlreiche Kataloge, die man nutzen kann. Bei NeoStore sind viele davon vorkonfiguriert, sonst gibt es noch Listen bei @mondstern und mir…
@Guenther wie bei den 100 anderen, die das schon gefragt haben, auch. Und sollte in der nächsten Version gefixt sein (wie bei den an… oops 🙊)
Den wahren Grund kenne ich nicht. Immer wenn ich das gesehen habe, war zwischendrin ein Netzwerk-Aussetzer. Meine Vermuting ist, dass der Download danach von vorn beginnt, die App das aber nicht merkt. Ergebnis ist dann ein kaputter Download… Aber wie getippst, in der nightly schon gefixt. Wann das Release kommt, weiß ich nicht. @Aakerbeere @mondstern
It's Monday, and I'm still looking for projects to hold me over as I get Fipamo funded.
Ideally, I'm looking for Product Manager roles where I can use my diversity of skills to help strategize and manage the creation of cool stuff. And I love research.
I'm also open to part-time/contract web design and development projects as well. I'm an end-to-end person, so if all you have is an idea (and a budget), give me a shout, and I can help you through the process.
To get an overview of what I do and for some work samples, check this out. roiskinda.cool/profile.html For any specific questions, send me a note.
As our work continues on modernizing XMPP authentication, we have some more new milestones to share with you. Until now our work has mostly been focused on internal Prosody improvements, such as the new roles and permissions framework.

A new Tusker beta build is available! This one adds state restoration (remembering where in your timeline you left off when leaving and returning to the app), an option to jump all the way to the present, as well as a slew of other minor improvements and bugfixes.
If you have any feedback or run into issues, please let me know!
