A friendly reminder on posting images: #AltText or else no boost. Sorry, I don't make the rules! Well, okay, this one is my rule.

@neil @dentangle I just did! It's really nifty. Thank you!

@neil @dentangle Ooh that is nice - thank you!

@dentangle Thank you. Appreciate the help so much! I should have said, I was more thinking of a simple web page that enables me to create a form that someone could sign at their end, with no upload needed. (So probably DocuSign was a bad example, haha, sorry!)

Any recommendations for a good cheap/free and easy #FOSS alternative to DocuSign type stuff? In this case specifically for image/audio releases. Thanks! #AskFedi

One teacher actually showed this to her class! In this vlog I recorded and shared on the 10th anniversary of the attacks on the World Trade Center, I looked at what seems to be a grotesque "human exchange rate" on life for American exceptionalism, imperialism, and racism: https://kolektiva.media/w/4ZzZnKsBSD9xFUQK1YxKMv #911 #NeverForget #Chile #Allende

UK drops 'spy clause' for scanning encrypted chat, admits it's not 'feasible' - but don't celebrate yet ... it has simply kicked the online safety can down the road, Westminster style https://go.theregister.com/feed/www.theregister.com/2023/09/07/uk_government_clause_online_safety_bill/ #surveillance #UKOnlineSafetyBill #OnlineSafetyBill

We are stuck living here, surrounded by reactionary assholes and bullies, who are so loud that we can never even sit outside to enjoy the summer and who literally don't let us breathe, because the air is so fucking thick with perfume in the morning and smoke from their balcony fire places and grills in the evening. The rent just got even higher, to the point of almost no longer payable. Yet we can't move. Because of the pandemic and all the high-risk situations a move would entail. I am so done.

@ProcessParsnip It's already that way in the UK. I haven't been allowed access to boosters for a couple years now, even if I was willing to pay, and they've pretty much made it clear this is unlikely to change - so strong is their narrative and ideology.

@skuppr Oh totally, it's far from over and we must not be complacent.

@Mer__edith Thank you for everything you contributed: your campaigning has been strong, and on televised debates, even against the odds and adverse dynamics you came across so cool and well-informed.
