A weird #ActivituPub question that's confusing me.

Can a post's permalink be on a different domain to its author?

Could @ alice @ social.example.com have their posts stored on content.example.com/data/123 ?

I'll probably build something to see if this causes any problems - but I couldn't find a definitive answer.

Seven years ago, I launched #SuperTinyIcons

80 miniscule SVGs for use on the web.

Now, we're up to 386 images!

@mattwiebe @pfefferle what about people who aren't legally allowed to use the .org forums? What's the best way for them to contact you?

(I know you're not responsible for that checkbox.)

Now they're just trolling me!

Grrrrr. Ordered something exciting from Alibaba (not express) a few weeks ago with the hope it would be here before #FFConf.

It has only just shipped. And I have four different tracking numbers.

Wonder if it'll get here in time - if at all?

Grrrr. This piece of hardware needs to be controlled by an #Android app.
Looks like it is still targetting SDK 28.
Despite me granting it all the permissions, it is still throwing an error.

I can't seem to find a more recent version of it on *any* app store.

For future scholars:
cn.manytag.work_card_write
Version 2.1.2

The journey of a thousand miles finishes with a prolonged wait at an Evri sorting hub!

Sooooooooon!

Woo! Finally here and working.

I've bought a couple of 4-colour eInk badges.

They can be flashed over NFC or BlueTooth.

Full review coming soon - but let me know if you have any questions.

"Sir, two of the plane's toilets are out-of-order. At this time we're requesting all passengers void themselves before entry."

"Look, I'm a grown man. I've been responsible for my own piss for several years now. Pretty sure I'll be fine."

She gave me a sceptical look and prodded her Android tablet.

"Company policy is to request all flyers should have less than 25% occupancy in their bladder. You're at 35% sir. Please kindly make your way to the indicated area."

I've submitted two talk proposals to #FOSDEM. One big, one small.

I've also sent a PR to fix some of the broken HTML on the main website.

https://github.com/FOSDEM/website/pull/263

The journey to #FOSDEM begins with a single Pull Request.

https://github.com/FOSDEM/website/pull/259

Hopefully that'll help people travelling to the event.

I have been incredibly organised and booked my #FOSDEM travel and hotel.

My first time going (!) so grateful for any tips, advice, warnings, memes, in-jokes, and suggestions from regular attendees.

@gergolippai
The only acceptable answer.

@lanodan thanks! I appreciate the feedback. I'll work on making those changes.

@MxVerda here's a #SolarPunk story just for you!

@jwildeboer mine was sent 2 years ago, so…

I am *so* sorry!
