I now own a Kobo Clara BW. Here's the first thing you need to know: pick a language, connect to wifi, it will update itself. After that it will ask you to 'connect the device' which requires a Kobo account.

Instead of doing that, plug it into a computer, and when it pops up a little window, click 'Connect.'

On the computer go to the .kobo/Kobo directory on the device, and edit the file Kobo eReader.conf. In the [ApplicationPreferences] section, add a line like

SideLoadedMode=true

and save and exit the editor. Unmount the device from your computer, and hold the Clara BW's power button until the white LED flashes. Then press the power button again.

When it boots back up, you don't need to register or connect shit. Dump books on it and rock on.

I'm posting this because every single internet thing which talks about this leaves out two important facts:

1) If you edit that file before updating, or before you get to the QR code screen, it won't take.

2) Most of the online people access this mode by signing out of an existing account rather than activating it during first-run setup.

since when do you need to install counterstrike source to use libreoffice bruh

CWs (content warnings) on posts that just have erotic language, can actually make your posts do better than without them!

Coming from corporate social media this can be counter intuitive, but when viewed from a consent standpoint, it makes total sense. A CW is more an invitation than a barrier. And people like invitations to view your lewd text, your sultry invitations to fuck, suck and go down, or steamy descriptions of your well practiced skills!

Sure would be a shame if the state of Utah published a google form to snitch on trans women peeing, but then included the options "I do not need a response" and "I would like to report anonymously" so you don't have to give your name, email or any proof of residence in Utah.

Sure is a shame that it's a basic google form and you can fill each text box with whatever text you want and attach any document you want as evidence.

God, I sure hope they have a good launch day and don't get the form absolutely railroaded by bad info.

your monthly reminder that diaspora.im is a server for bipoc folks tired of the very white fedi ...

this server is managed by me - fyrfli - alone at the moment. we are still small so just me is ok for the time being. i am keeping an eye out for help, tho... especially if we start growing.

anywho:

• boost this if you know someone who's getting silenced and ignored when they talk about their lives.
• boost this if you like the idea of more bipoc spaces on the fedi
• boost this if you like it here and want other folks to come share the joy
• boost this if you just like boosting things...

eh ... boost this cos ... why not.

I've released my second character art pack! Season 2 features 48 unique designs from 2022, each with 4 colour variations. That year I really focused on a lot of unique races and concepts that don't often get explored in art packs similar to these. If you ever wanted to be a koala mage, a cowboy robot, or a friendly floating eye with a heart tattoo - I've got you.

Hi friends,

The http://alt-text.org alt text library project needs a new leader, I have brain cancer.

I built a working, scalable, proof of concept library of shared alt text with fuzzy matching.

I'd like to connect with the #accessibility dev community. I want to hand the project off to a team or a leader if anyone is willing to take it over.

Github: https://github.com/alt-text-org
WIP MVP: a site designed for writing alt text with a private library: https://my.alt-text.org

Boosts appreciated

You're welcome.
