@lalage Wat grappig. Dat heb ik nooit geweten dat Instagram daarvoor gebruikt werd. Inderdaad, hier op Masto lijkt de spoeling dun wat boekenlezers betreft. Lijkt, he. @boeken heeft aardig wat volgers.
…. Sont donc mis en lumière les villes, les foires, les marchands et leurs pratiques commerciales principalement dans les espaces français, allemand, suisse et italien. La vidéo donne, en cinq minutes, un aperçu de l’exposition de Leipzig. (Montage: Adina Eckart) Alors que les expositions à Lyon et à Leipzig sont terminées, la plupart des objets et des documents présentés sont toujours consultables sur la plate-forme du Projet CoMOR : https://fairs-in-history.huma-num.fr/
@sotolf@selea not sure if this is it, but the last 2-3 years, I have noticed that many many many times it does not grab a copy into the buffer on the first try. And it is so often taht it can not be a mistake on my end (also, happening on multiple PCs with different keyboards, so...)
A local right wing asshat has threatened to “lose respect” for me, and warned that “you don’t want to experience that.” He is upset that I shared data showing US citizens commit far more violent crime (absolutely and per capita) than undocumented immigrants. The far right is completely spineless when confronted with reality. #USPol#Extremism#Immigration#Petaluma
Finding Meaning in an Imperfect World by Iddo Landau
Probably the most comprehensive "how to think about your life" book I've ever read. The book summarizes the most sensible and pragmatic way to think about almost everything, from a western philosophical standpoint. The central skill it imparts is how to recognize and improve meaning in life. Strong recommend.
The overarching goal is an experimental system to make ActivityPub federation stuff clearer for devs, sysadmins and advanced users.
The documentation is incomplete and the code is really not OK! But they always say it's better to get stuff out the door for others to look at sooner. Maybe it inspires others to think about the Fediverse/ActivityPub in weird new ways!
Very interesting. It would certainly make doom scrolling harder. Email always feels more personal, like each message was sent specifically to me for a reason. As opposed to feeds, which feels like looking at cars as they drive by.
I think this system pushes against those boundaries. This sort of concrete brainstorming at the edges is such a crucial part of software evolution, so thank you.
I would actually love this. I use email for everything, it is so nice to have everything come to the same place. Right now I follow a few Mastodon users via an RSS-to-Email service, but the problem with that is that you can’t follow private accounts/see followers-only toots. It would be great to have a full email bridge.
I was considering making this myself at one point. But I think one of the big problem with ActivityPub is that it describes a single particular account. So if my ActivityPub-email bridge was running you wouldn’t also be able to access a Mastodon UI and for example browse other posts. So my account would need to be email-only which would be missing UX for a lot of things (like commenting on a random post I was linked to).

ICYMI, the "Book of Love" zoom panel was really interesting; the planned hour because two.
I understand that participants will get a link to the recorded video in the next few days, and I'll ask whether it's okay to share here, for your viewing pleasure.
And we have a link! Sunday's panel discussing The Book of Love, with authors Sandra Kitt, Beverly Jenkins and Kelly Link, moderated by genre romance historian Steve Ammidown, can be watched on the Romance Bookstore YT channel here:
🔸 config.conf is the neofetch config file I use (only the first block of code is relevant)
I had to use a custom "OS" line in the config files because it would display debian instead of antiX, so if you use the file put back the default line :
[...]OS" distro
instead of :
[...]OS" "antiX 23 Arditi del Popolo"
🔸 config.conf.alts was my work-in-progress config file when I was obsessively trying different variations on the same look to find just the right one, if you run it they will display the variations one after the other (might take a while 😅 )
🔸 .bashrc for the alias to make neofetch use a custom distro logo Basically just add :
alias neofetch='neofetch --ascii ~/path-to-custom-ascii-logo.txt
at the end of the .bashrc
(Yes I also added a line to autolaunch neofetch each time I open a terminal 😁 )
C’est la #JournéeMondialedelaPlomberie ! 🎉
Eh ben, même sur ce sujet, on a de quoi faire dans les collections du service Histoire de @labnf : direction les années 1920 et la marque Crane, plomberie industrielle… ⤵️
@academicchatter I'm thinking anti-ableist, anti-racist, anti-sexist, etc.
Actual inclusive as possible for us to achieve online conference-planning. Pushing the date far enough out that we can do this without stressing the hell out and with enough time to fundraise for ASL interpreters, captioning, etc.
@YLee Yes and yes - and that all sounds super noble and admirable. In reality, it becomes an expensive competitive fancy dress comp where staff and students dress as entirely non-book related characters (films/superheroes etc.) and it does nothing to encourage a genuine love of reading. You want your child to read? Buy them a book! #WBD#WorldBookDay#Books#Education#edutooters@bookstodon@edutooters

I wasn't aware of the cosplay aspect to it. Reading is probably a little too quiet and internal for modern society. There has to be some lavish, external (read: Instagram-worthy) display to get people interested.
