Are you a #nazi or a #transphobe?

I'll fuckin' fight ya.

Got a #DCP film tonight that only had audio in the Centre channel - not a peep on L or R. This is a release from a major motion picture studio.

#ProjectionistProblems

Any #wayland devs able to help me out with an example of how one might iterate a list of available display surfaces?

This is a niche request. Please BOOST for reach!

Boy oh boy... Its 2025 but I sure am seeing a lot of #URLShortener links here.

A lot of people refuse to click shortened links.

Why?

Because most link shortening services are commercial. They are not free. You pay in data.

They can also be misused, captured and redirected.

The good news is, you don't need them on the #fedi! Put any URL of any length in your post and it will count as 23* characters - no shortener required!

*edited from 25 to 23 as per documentation.

@steter
Kinda looks like they're just trying to avoid being vandalised.

Maybe if enough of them *are* vandalised they'll file a class action and in 12 years get a check for $38 - less than a can of coke.

Hopefully they'll land a couple good ones before they're gone.

Their current direction would indicate that will be sooner than later:

I've been using a selfhosted #opengist server for years and love it!

Remember how #twitter forced #musk to buy it after he chickened out, even though they knew what he was planning on doing with it?

Remember how you trust #bluesky?

You have an INCREDIBLE ISP!

In canada we have literally two companies to choose from.

I just found out about #OpenSwitcher, a free and opensource #Linux based software for controlling Blackmagic ATEM switchers!

It works flawlessly with my Studio 4K.

Hoooooly it is a drag to find/add people on a fresh #mastodon instance!

If you see this post, kindly boost it up so I can find my peeps again!

Is anything as nice as a freshly seasoned cast iron pan?

A friend of mine with severe #dementia possibly had their #iPhone and #iPad compromised by a #scammer. I've offered to do some basic #forensics on it, and ensure there is no rouge software, change passwords, etc.

I am not, however, an #apple person, so I'm not really sure what the best tools will be to do so.

Please, if you know of resources for tools and processes, please comment below! Please #boost for reach!
