@maloki @pettter that's pretty much how sci-hub works hah, but you need to be quite careful to not have pdf's traced back to the person who shared them...

@maloki annas-archive.org/ provides a great combination of other sources like library genesis (libgen) and sci-hub

@rune I think that could still be interesting, once I figure out what I actually want to get from this research

hm considering asking people to send me pictures of their fridge/pantry for uni research purposes, but wonder how many would even be comfortable doing that (context is food waste, but i'm explicitly approaching it from an angle that doesn't blame the consumer)

I've been struggling with this myself, so I thought I'd repeat it for other people that might be dealing with the same thing:

Not every hobby needs to be a project. Not everything needs to be a whole *thing* with a goal and an endpoint. It's okay to not finish something. It's okay to pick up something for a bit, explore it, start making something, and then drop it without making any "progress".

Productivity is capitalist bullshit that doesn't need to infect your free time too. Have some fun

@cleo you might be able to do something with CSS filters, like using the emoji image with a `filter: contrast(0)` turns it into a grayscale filled version, if you get real fancy with it you could place the custom emoji on top of itself with a little scale factor too, in different colors, to get an outline + fill

re: character limits, a boring contrarian take 

@ghost_bird hmm but isn't that more a factor of the box itself being smaller and to the side? no matter if the number says 500 or 5000

Hello everyone! We've just created the proper v0.7.0 release of GoToSocial, Stormy Sloth! ⛈️ 🦥

You can find the release here: https://github.com/superseriousbusiness/gotosocial/releases/tag/v0.7.0

This is the culmination of two and a bit months of hard work, and we're really proud of it :)

Big thank you to all contributors, testers, and well wishers!

Release highlights

Basic video support (mp4 only). You can finally upload videos, and view videos from remote instances too. Not all mp4 files work, currently -- this is something we'll investigate for next release most likely.
Support for federating reports in and out of GoToSocial, and viewing reports via the admin settings panel (this feature was sponsored by NLnet).
Support for webp attachments, avatars, and headers.
Users can now create, remove, and view status bookmarks!
Domain blocks now apply on a wildcard basis, so you can block a second level domain (like example.org) and it will apply to subdomains too (like poop.example.org etc).
HTTP request throttling -- only a certain number of http requests are served at a time now. This should vastly improve responsiveness under load on small instances.
Much better logic for pruning old avatars + headers, leading to gb of disk space savings.
So many bug fixes and performance improvements.

@th nicee! it's been like a year now since I did kicad/pcb design and really gotta get back into it :>
