@KyleReedPhD Have you tried asking them?

@stevesilberman Reach is fine. The issue is whether access (often irrespective of consent) is an expectation or whether people are prepared to use platforms to build their reach through offering something of value and seeing their audience/reach grow as people share it. If you're offering something of genuine value, you have nothing to worry about.

@coachtony Congrats on the launch.

This is the thing I keep running into with Hindu devotional art... it's so hard to find "the original" (and/or the credit).

Take these two for example (I was looking for the image used in the video, in my earlier post). The one on the left looks like the original — the one on the right looks as though someone has painted over it to accentuate the lines and fill in the wash colours. But the signature is clear on the right, whereas on the left it's washed out and unreadable. Which came first?

Five hours to the start of pratakal (fast-breaking time)... I should be asleep ? Instead... #nowPlaying https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1BYV9BQW6Rg

@salyavin @fabianseyfried Thank you - it sounds like some of the phone clients have it, but it also looks like the main Mastodon web interfaces don't. But maybe I can get away with using it now in the knowledge that one day Mastodon web will catch up ?

@reardon15 @rbreich Not working isn't the same as living off nothing, otherwise some additional folks would get jobs.

In some situations folks get government handouts. My sister, many years ago, lived in Kansas. She was trying recover from drug and alcohol abuse. The state payed for full time schooling and provided enough benefits for a good chunk of room and board for her & kids.

Crazy sounding to me but might have been the best approach.

@fabianseyfried Ah... I'll try it out in both — thank you for letting me know it works in some places!

@fabianseyfried Oh wow... are you using the web interface? Maybe the problem is actually my browser :thinking_rotate:

Would be very cool to have the latest emojis on here, like the lotus that was approved in 2021 ? (and maybe even the hyacinth, approved September 2022 ?). The lotus is already on the birdsite. #Mastodon

@peter Ah, false balance advocates... dangerous indeed. There's a lot of it about.

@micahflee Happy New Year! Sorry to bug you about Semiphemeral... do you know why it sometimes puts duplicates in the tweet database? It looks like I'll have to delete my account and set it up again from scratch as there are some dupes now and if I leave it, it'll delete tweets I want to save (it seems only one of the duplicates can be ticked to save the tweet - if you tick both, change page then return, one of the ticks has gone). It's odd - I haven't spotted any pattern to when it happens.

@charvaka @klillington Yup. It's very odd given the supposed focus on accessibility.

@NewsBreaking Hope you're feeling better soon, Al.

@peter Really? I always had the impression it was ok, although I haven't ever listened to it very much.

@peter Exactly - that's my issue with this particular piece. It could have been good if it had made the points you did here and supported them with data, rather than making broad statements about how a specific religious philosophy makes people vulnerable to radicalisation without any evidence.

@ideasmithy Well you shared it on social media, which is what people generally do when they want engagement.

@ideasmithy This is so bad I have to stop reading.

One yoga teacher loses it, and all of a sudden wellness is a pipeline to QAnon... ??? I just can't with this story. Seriously. The world is literally burning and this is what they think matters at NPR?
