Mastodon only supports 500 chars (unless patched).
Other Fediverse Software supports more, though

@guamwatt @nyrath @aeva @cjust @USBTypeSTeve

the different "font" is using weird unicode chars instead of actual formatting

that "default format" thing is not a regular Mastodon feature, but one of the "glitch-soc" fork: https://glitch-soc.github.io/docs/features/rich-text/

@gamingonlinux
might even be intentional by some devs, because they only want to support steamdeck, not Linux in general ("so many distros with so many potential problems and so few users")

@lritter obviously if you're a witch/wizard you don't need a magic button to do magic

> I spent the first few months cleaning up compiler warnings

the universal experience of throwing code written in Visual Studio at a real compiler :-D

but then you can't charge and use a headphone at the same time

@waldi @Nibor4000 @lanodan @steph @mia @ShadowJonathan
There are no "simple" USB to headphone adapters.
They all include a USB soundcard (yes, even the tiny ones)

My girlfriend is sick and asked for alphabet soup.
To be on the safe side, I made her password soup instead.

That's not the premise, the article literally says
"the title is “be aware,” not “beware.” The Makefile effect is not inherently bad! It’s something to be aware of when designing tools and systems"

@dalias @lispi314 @jplebreton
Ok, I don't know enough about how the usual OpenSSL vulnerabilities can be exploited, so I'll take you word for it, as I think you know way more about this

@dalias @lispi314 @jplebreton
maybe not openssh, but most probably whatever provides HTTPS

@lispi314 @dalias @jplebreton
openssl bugs also appear every once in a while

@morgant @pthane @solene @matthew
OTOH, SMS can at least be received with dumb phones, there are probably also solutions that only work via smartphone app.
Or services that require an app, like when public transportation suddenly stops using tickets on paper (sold by busdrivers or ticket machines) but want you to use an app instead

@jplebreton
Related: I fucking hate it when Wikipedia decides that things should be deleted because they're not "relevant" (by some weird standards), or even not relevant *anymore*.

@sinbad @molecularmusing
also, you can still count how often each page was loaded without tracking anyone.
sure, that's not as much information as seeing how exactly users navigate the page and how long they look at what, but at least it gives you an idea which pages might be hard to find

@sinbad
Even if you *need* cookies, you don't need a banner - as long as you only set the cookies you actually need, for example for logins.
They're only needed for cookies that aren't technically needed, like the hundreds of thirdparty tracking cookies that most websites want to set

@sinbad For my blog I used one of the most simple blog-like themes I could find (Lithium) and enhanced it to my likings.
I think the fancier themes already required additional bloat even back then (2017?! fuck, time flies)

@sinbad this apparently was the last AM5 upgrade kit available in Germany, at least in the online stores I could find :)

@sinbad
Ha, I'm using that kit with a Brocken2 (that I previously used on my old Haswell CPU) in my secondary PC (with Ryzen 2700X) :)

Do you only need the screws or also that plate?
The version with the plate is not available anywhere (https://geizhals.eu/alpenfoehn-brocken-montagekit-fuer-amd-am4-84000000147-a1624293.html), just the screws are available at one seller for 6.14EUR (https://geizhals.de/alpenfoehn-am4-am5-upgrade-kit-brocken-serie-84000000215-a3107642.html).

Do you have Brocken2 or Brocken3?

@sinbad
£30 for delivery? Do they ship from Australia?
What adapter is it specifically?
I could check if a German shop has it, shipping shouldn't be *that* expensive from here
