I started regularly donating about a year ago. I am now supporting 8 different projects with 20,77€ per month, and it didn't hurt at all.

Why pay for something free? Because free software only exists because other people already paid for it. Someone has to do it. It's time to do your part!

If you can afford a subscription service, then you probably can afford a little donation, too. Start with 0.1% of your income.

There’s nothing quite like the magic of printing an object and feeling it take shape over time.

I didn’t think their printers were accessible. Don’t they have touchscreen?

Apple added a feature called "inactivity reboot" in iOS 18.1. This is implemented in keybagd and the AppleSEPKeyStore kernel extension. It seems to have nothing to do with phone/wireless network state. Keystore is used when unlocking the device. So if you don't unlock your iPhone for a while... it will reboot!

A reminder if you find your level of engagement here on Mastodon to be waning - you need to toot, #hastag, boost, comment, and other types of things to get folks to notice you. There's no real #algorithm to drive folks to you. You must speak up, be kind, share, and basically participate. Otherwise your view of Mastodon will be small, narrow and idle.


I woke up this morning with an idea for a narrative game.

The idea is you start with a plain text story. It's a fantasy story with a tragic ending where the evil overlord defeats the heroes and everyone dies. But you soon discover you can access parts of the storyline or influence characters. And when you do, you see the story morph and change. The goal of the game is to alter the story enough so that the heroes win and the overlord is defeated. Or is it...



ya know, I never know what to say to someone when their grieving. Nothing I say will make the pain go away, and I hate sounding generic, sorry for your loss, sorry you're having this experience, I hate it because it makes me feel like I don't care, I know I do and they might too but in the end, it's still painful, and I just want to say something meaningful.
in reply to Silly Millie

This is one of the reasons I hate talking about loss — it seems so insensitive to repeat something they have heard a hundred times — however somehow worse to try and say more. This is multiplied ten-fold when you do not know the person that is being grieved

Wow, a website that's actually on Mastodon, not just Twitter and Instagram! I was looking for a resource for basic tunes to start learning on tin whistle, and was directed to thesession.org... And they're on here! Hello, @thesession!


Apple’s gaming success might look entirely different than you expect 9to5mac.com/2024/11/08/apple-n…

in reply to Marie Bayar

I learned that hating people isn't the solution. By hating them, you give them attention. Be indifferent instead. But also, if they are bad people, feel some pity for them. Maybe one day they'll change. and if they don't want to, that's their loss. It is not your problem. You are you. But I hope you will also take time for yourself and I hope it'll help. Have a virtual hug.

Drinking a Starbucks and sitting outside. Hope everybody is having a wonderful day today. Weather is quite nice out today at least. Very beautiful for this time of year here, especially in Winnipeg lol. Where it sometimes well most of the time in the winter gets very, very cold.

It's always a pleasure to share a call with @AiraVI agent #Jeff. He is one of the best and a definite asset to their team and I want the world to know it. He is one of my favorites. 👏👍 I always give positive feedback but I wish we could somehow reward agents that go above and beyond and make calls a pleasure through their great attitudes and willingness to help with a smile on their face that can be heard.
in reply to Chris Cooke

@CreativeChris @DavidGoldfield Aww that’s a lovely story and yes, I cannot imagine life without it either. That is why I am very happy to pay for it monthly.
in reply to Robin Frost

@CreativeChris Jeff and Sid are definitely top-notch agents, and I also put Peter on that list.


morning everyone! so it is cold. i have been freezing all morning but it started well so i am thankful for that. i watched a couple of my favorite shows this morning, and now i shall see what kind of craziness i get into. maybe music or something that doesnt require being cold. lol. have a lovely and awesome day! :)
in reply to juana🌹🐾💖

Aww, have a hug from me. It's virtual, but I hope it gives you the warm energy you need. :)


There is a small number of things in life that you can control. There is a much larger set of things that you can't. It takes a lifetime to learn how to let those go. I'm still learning.
in reply to blindnerd

Learning how to let go is one of the steps, but the first one is to realise you need to let go of some things. It's hard for everyone, and true for everyone.

Ich hab mir gerade meinen ersten "Plötzlich Long Covid" Text durchgelesen, den ich vor 10 Monaten geschrieben habe und ich komm mir jetzt rückblickend so naiv vor! Damals war ich überzeugt davon, dass ich die Erkrankung in 3 Monaten bewältigt haben werde und sah es als kurzweilige Episode, die wieder vorübergeht. In der Zwischenzeit war ich an ganz persönlichen Tiefpunkten - nach der Reha und nach dem Krankenhaus - die für mich zuvor nicht einmal vorstellbar waren.

in reply to Barbara Wimmer - shroombab

Ich lebe schon einige Jahre damit und frage mich immer wieder, wie soll man Menschen begegnen, die noch voller Hoffnung sind, dass das wieder weggeht?

Ja es wird bei einigen wieder besser oder ganz verschwinden, aber die eigene Erfahrung ist halt eine ganz andere und man möchte auch niemandem die Hoffnung nehmen...

I’ve been on Fedi for a year now and have fallen in love with the platform, so here’s my introduction! I studied computer science with a focus on RTOS and FP/PL, but I’m about to start my final semester of law school. I’ll be practicing at a boutique firm that primarily handles IP cases once I’m barred. I foilboard and I play way too many rhythm games in and out of the arcade.

I contribute to open source projects where I can, and I write up my experience in my digital garden which I’ve been maintaining for over a year now. It’s also a good place to find usage tips for projects/tools that you might want to use.

My passion for tech also includes privacy, and I’m an advocate for minimizing your digital footprint. GenAI is a scam and its purveyors are causing real harm while they sell it as hard as they can.
