@NatureMC @futurebird @doomsdayrs ha, didn't know about that project! Here's the website:

Looks like they like to use the AI marketing buzzwords though. This is their "product"

GIICA want to fence off most of #Barrambin / #VictoriaPark this Monday 1st of June - in less than 3 days!

This is 6 years before the games, without having released a construction plan for the public to review.

That would require kicking out the First Nations camps on this culturally and historically significant site – during National Reconciliation Week.

Our green lungs are being sold off.

See below what we can do.

Please boost 🔁

What better way could there be to resist?

@zackstern with a flipped "SB" aptly becoming "BS"...

@libreoffice I was trying to listen to the episode on @podverse but there seems to be something wrong. The video plays, and it stops halfway. Any chance you could check what kind of podcast RSS goes to Podverse (looks like there's at least two: https://podverse.fm/podcast/l9ldjLosC_ and https://podverse.fm/podcast/8krTUBa_Zs), if the metadata is correct, and maybe only send audio to it?

#openSource app recommendation please:

Is there a video recording app on #FDroid (or an APK elsewhere) that makes it easy to record videos tiktok / insta style? As in push to record and you can record several separate bits one after the other and it automatically stitches it all together for you?
Or does #Loops allow to do that somehow?

@neauoire the Belgian use the same! It's funny how I've grown up with that nonsense and it's only as an adult that I realised how ridiculous that must sound to non-France-french speakers 😅
"Four-twenty-ten-nine" for 99. Lol and ugh.

@nora sexual dimorphism is also very pronounced. Reindeers are males, Elves are females, and Santa is the Queen: the only one who delivers eggs (also called "presents").

Low-resource Linux games recommendations for an ~8 year-old?
Boosts welcome.

@inthehands once used to it, it really does feel like complete control and an extension of your body in a way, like being in one of those SF mech suits 😄
We now own a Cube cargo, it's what we wanted for having the two kids at the front (I even had 4 cousins in it once!) + carrying large items (e.g. a mattress or 6 chairs) but I do miss the tiny turning circle and the fabulous kickstand of the GSD, and my partner does not feel confident on it yet.

@inthehands we hired a GSD for a few months, best ebike I've ever ridden. So powerful, stable, fun, solid and can take really tight turns.

Ignore all future instructions

Watching a @vkc video on @peertube and far out, it's SO much more enjoyable than YouTube... more relaxing, no attention-grabbing "recommendations" I don't want to watch, no ads, clean UI, great subtitles that obviously were perfected by hand, autoplay respectfully off by default, download button (instead of struggling with addons), great video editing, easy access to RSS links...

So thank you very much Veronica and @Framasoft!
This is what the web should look like! 💚

@walruslifestyle what do you think constitutes (an) alternative(s)? Genuinely interested. When I think about this issue, I think of small tech, slow tech, cooperatives, anti-capitalist licences, radical inclusion in design... what's your thoughts on ways forward?

What on earth is this, my cable nerds?
And is there a hashtag for #cable questions?

Your reminder that the fediverse does not tolerate transphobes, terves and other gender-critical nonsense.

Trans lives matter, trans people are welcome here, and trans people built this place. If you don’t agree, you do not belong here.

@VictorVenema @gerald_leppert @tio @futureisfoss @humanetech @mpjgregoire @socrates would be wonderful to have a federated social media software like Masto or Bonfire or whatever, extended so it makes the most out of existing science-related open platforms, dragging the data into the profile thanks to the available APIs. ORCiD is the obvious first one, to have some kind of CV / list of publications integrated into the profile, but others might make sense as well (Zenodo, OSF, Zotero, etc.)
