Did you know: Firefox actually has some pretty neat selection capabilities!

For text: hold CTRL to select multiple separate ranges of text

For tables: hold CTRL to select a square of multiple cells, or CTRL+SHIFT to select entire rows/columns/tables

Heck yeah, kinky photos should have image descriptions too. Disabled people are often de-sexualized (it's part of infantalizing us), but a lot of us are goddam perverts. Help us out. ;)

If Mastodon is the promise of the early internet, what would be the Geocities of the fediverse? A service for creating microinstances where you can be as tacky as you want, where you can break shit knowing you only break it for yourself?

I wonder how much of this has to do with the bigger character limits, leaving space for people to actually present their projects *without* needing to capture it into some snazzy marketing slogan soundbite

One of the less obvious things I really appreciate about fedi: I see so many more cool personal *projects*, rather than just "startups" or "side gigs" or whatever other capitalist venture.

Every media player needs a "pause after the current track" button.

fediblock, eris from disqordia 

if you need some proof that eris is a unpleasant individual --- make your own choices whether this is #fediblock worthy, but note that i know some instances defederated from disqordia due to the below, among other things:

this thread is cached correctly here, on the external server, but eris' original toots were lost when the old disqordia instance went down

Min van VWS gaat onderzoek doen naar mensen die de tandarts mijden vanwege de kosten.
Ik begrijp niet goed wat hij wil onderzoeken. Ik kan de conclusie al wel vertellen:
Een deel van de Nederlanders is te arm om de tandarts/mondhygiënist te kunnen betalen en gaan dus niet. Een slecht gebit heeft invloed op je algemene gezondheid, welzijn en je sociale positie.
Oplossing: Alle tandzorg in het basispakket zonder verhoging van de premie. #ArmoedeInNederland

Has anyone built a federated phpBB-style forum compatible with ActivityPub? I would love to be able to participate in #gamedev or #nesdev discussions on something that looks like traditional indexed forums, but with the convenience of using my same account!

for folks who don't know, google specifically has like, the Most Advanced C++ Bug Catching/Mitigation Tools, to the point that they *took over the development of clang*

just using rust instead, even with 'unsafe' parts, completely blew all of that out of the water! holy shit!

obsessed with this article by the Android team. just looking at the graphs it's like "rust go up, exploits go down" security.googleblog.com/2022/1

also holy shit Android has a lot of rust code now

It really annoys me when people go "well, big companies are complicated, they are not single entities with consistent decisionmaking" in response to criticism of such companies and their actions

As if that's somehow a justification, rather than a clear sign that they've clearly grown to a scale where they are unaccountable and fundamentally cannot be trusted, and without ever asking the question of "wait but then how can we ever hold anybody accountable for anything?"

misskey-forkbomb.cf should be suspended and purged not just on Misskey and its forks, but also all other software instances because it puts a lot of empty noise into all databases.

Though I guess that if it was gonna happen in any show, this was always a pretty good candidate

Well, I sure didn't expect to find "OpenStreetMap contributors" in the credits of a TV show

not now sweetie, daddy is trying to match the font that a corporation uses in their promotional materials so that he can abuse them in their own language

You know what's really lovely about having a post favorited by someone here on Mastodon? It means something I've said resonated with someone. And that's pretty damned priceless as far as I'm concerned. So, yeah, favoriting doesn't 'do' anything except make someone feel good. Isn't that reason enough?

mutual aid request; begpost please boost; :boost_ok: ; trans gal in dire need. 

now that the cat begging has ended, here comes the regular begging :')

these last two days I've been completely shattered. I've been mostly sleepless and unable to eat properly because some people decided I was rude online and because of that I deserve slander and harassment. When I'm able to eat two meals a day I take it as a win.

I need money to cover my monthly bills and my father's abusive demands and I just can't find any work at all.

if you could spare anything i'd really appreciate but a boost is already good enough.

also, I'd much rather work than keep on begging, but I'll do what it takes to... survive.

if you have any work that need to be done in traslation, pixel art, game design, audio treatment, text revisions, tarot readings and whatever that you could send my way I'd be really happy.

thanks everybody once again for your continued support.

I was not kidding about this being long, I had like 70 characters left of the rather generous character limit on here
