@AlexSanterne@StayGrounded_net Congratulations! I made the same decision 5 years ago, after returning to Germany from the US. Feels good, doesn't it? Even if it's sometimes annoying and complicated to get places, I've found that one always gets there, somehow.
Things October 31 is besides #Halloween: #Reformation Day, celebrating the date in 1517 when Martin #Luther nailed his 95 theses to a church door in Wittenberg--or did he?
Modern scholarship long tended to dismiss the episode as fictional, citing lack of contemporary evidence. 1/n
Things October 31 is besides #Halloween: #Reformation Day, celebrating the date in 1517 when Martin #Luther nailed his 95 theses to a church door in Wittenberg--or did he?
In 2018, 2 historians from the historical Luther sites set forth the case for the authenticity of the tradition that he nailed the 95 theses to the church door OTD 1517:
Things October 31 is besides #Halloween: #Reformation Day, celebrating the date in 1517 when Martin #Luther nailed his 95 theses to a church door in Wittenberg--or did he?
Book historian Andrew Pettegree, who accepts the tradition, makes the key points in Brand Luther (2017):
Even Luther did not see the Theses as extraordinary
HAPPY HALLOWEEN... AND (AUDIO)BOOK BIRTHDAY TO #CHAMELEONMOON!
Narrated by the incredible Kyle Rocco East (and me!) and containing two fully produced original songs, my first published book is now my first published #audiobook!
I can't even tell you how happy and excited (and tired) I am, but it's here! You can listen to all its entire-cast-of-queer-superheroes-surviving-fiery-dystopia-through-rebellious-hope-love-and-rock'nroll right now, with your ears!
To my incredible Kickstarter backers, and everyone here, thank you so, so much for following me on this incredible journey!
(Indie Creator Note: I am going to be QUITE shameless about promoting this for the next few days, and would ask very humbly that if you're reading this, Mega Please, Boost! No algorithm here, so we gotta be it for each other! <3)
Could someone please help me get a safe home?🏳️⚧️🤞🏼
Please friends, I need everyone's help to be able to get a new safe home. I have been outside for many days, I am in danger of being beaten again and I have not been able to eat well for days. The little I have received is to be able to sleep in a hotel. Please, if you have something extra don't hesitate to donate🙏🏼💔 #MutualAid#TransCrowdfund#trans@mutualaid
We've been exploring the concept of personal and contextual audio experiences.
Adaptive Podcasting could help us give audiences more value - and now we have released the code for you to try yourself and create your own listening experiences!
Added userContent.css (fenix) to fix Firefox about pages to be better fit for Librem 5 as well as a color theme to match Firefox for Android, code-named Fenix.
Added fenix_colors.css for a color theme to match Firefox for Android, (Fenix). If you do not want the Private Browsing Mode theme for the URL Bar and Nav Bar, comment out that section of code at the bottom of the file.
Added fenix.css as an alternative to true_mobile_mode.css that more closely resembles Firefox for Android (Fenix).
Added extensions_menu.css to fix the Unified Extensions Menu.
Added dynamic_popups.css and several variations so that extensions expand into a big enough popup which also supports horizontal scrolling. Works best with true_mobile_mode.css or fenix.css.
Added alt-browser-alt.css to be used with true_mobile_mode.css or fenix.css instead of browser.css. It can also be used with other styles like alt-single_tab_mode-alt.css to have the Tab Bar at the top of the screen and the Nav Bar at the bottom.
Added single_tab_mode-alt.css, true_mobile_mode-alt.css, and fenix-alt.css, to be used without alt-browser-alt.css or browser.css in order to have the Nav Bar at the top of the screen.
Added true_mobile_landscape.css and true_mobile_landscape-alt.css to have a nice landscape mode that maximizes usable space and fixes flickering popups.
Added fenix_fox.css to have a single standalone userChrome file containing all necessary code except fenix_colors.css. You can add dynamic_popups.css or another variation. fenix_fox-alt.css is the version that has the Nav Bar at the top of the screen. You will still need userContent.css (fenix).
Added fenix_one.css to have a single standalone userChrome file containing all necessary code, including fenix_colors.css. If you do not want the Private Browsing Mode theme for the URL Bar and Nav Bar, comment out that section of code at the bottom of the file. You can add dynamic_popups.css or another variation. fenix_one-alt.css is the version that has the Nav Bar at the top of the screen. You will still need userContent.css (fenix).
Added variables into many files so that they work in “Normal” and “Touch” density modes.
If you prefer having a single userChrome file, you can simply rename fenix_fox.css or fenix_one.css to userChrome.css. You can also copy and paste the contents of one of the dynamic_popups files to the bottom of the userChrome.css file. Whichever userChrome file or files you decide to use, you will still need userContent.css (fenix).
As a running example, we recollected (as best we could) the New York Times articles used to create the well-known Dynamics of Collective Action (DoCA) dataset. We provide the document-term matrix and the metadata for the DoCA corpus here: https://zenodo.org/records/8415049

Testing HTTP based adaptive bitrate systems such as MPEG DASH and HLS needs test content.
We offer a set of streams for this - and we've just updated them to include live, low latency, audio description and alternative language and webcast versions:
@BBCRD
None of my AVRs can handle these streams so I can't listen to BBC radio on my systems anymore.
I've tried contacting the manufacturer and they don't seem interested. Do you have a list of compatible devices?
@BBCRD I was trying to work out where I'd seen that image before, then remembered; I made this in 2014 from shots taken inside the Berliner Philharmonie! 👻 😱
Grad gelesen: angeblich hat Mastodon eine total große und aktive science-community. Das ist, äh, interessant. 🤔 Ich such die nämlich buchstäblich seit Monaten.
Update: Problem solved! It reads: Es freut mich, daß Sie bis heute schon so große Erfolge erringen konnten. So wünsche ich Ihnen auch für Ferneres recht große weitere Erfolge. Nachdem die jüdische Musik doch bald ganz eingedämmt ist, wird für unsere deutschen Künstler wieder eine bessere Zeit kommen.
@carinealders@historikerinnen@histodons I read your text snippet as "Es freut mich, daß Sie bis heute schon so große Erfolge erringen konnten und wünsche ich Ihnen auch für Ferneres noch große weitere Erfolge. Nachdem die jüdische Musik doch bald genug eingedämmt ist, wird auch für unsere deutschen Künstler wieder eine bessere Zeit kommen", even if the first sentence seems grammatically iffy (the word order is a bit uncommon, as if the writer perhaps rephrased the sentence during writing).
@carinealders@historikerinnen@histodons Mastodon's preferred translation service mistook the source language for Nederlands. Here is the German translation of the antisemitism, courtesy of DuckDuckGo:
"I am pleased that you have been able to achieve such great success to date. So I wish you great further success in the future. Now that Jewish music will soon be completely contained, a better time will come for our German artists."
