Just my opinion, but extra long hours, high-intensity, going hardcore... These are variations on "crunch mode", which isn't so much a shipping strategy as it is a symptom of planning and organizational failure.

It also doesn't work if you want to maintain shipping quality.

Roman ring donated to celebrate the wedding, engraved with the following inscription: Te amo parum, meaning “I love you too little”. It is strange that a future husband gave his beloved ring with such an inscription. [750x1028]

Regarding my last post. "Art isn't dead, you're just stuck watching corporate sh**" (Disney/Marvel/DC/EA Games/Blizzard/ Activision)

I was talking with a friend about it.
90% of what I consume is indie media. Bcz I learned habits that allow me to find cool indie stuff seamlessly.

But it can be hard for ppl who are used to just consume what is trending, to just go off the grid with their media.

Maybe we need something like a "manual to abandon corporate media". It could be a Zine.

Hi @Mastodon we're sure you've got a lot on, but the Oceania section of the Join Mastodon directory is very underpopulated right now! Our Kiwi mates are carrying a lot of the load for our region and I'm pretty sure their internet is based on tin cans and string.

If you take a peek at your inbox, we're in there waiting and keen to help! Chuck us on there, mate!

@Gargron help us out mate! Are we sitting in the spam folder? We'd get you on the blower and sort this out but can't find your number in the phone book for some reason!

The Tim Tam offer is now two packs! Help us get some more Aussies on @Mastodon and these are on the way!

A pack each of original and double coat Tim Tams on a laptop keyboard with a tantalising glimpse of Melbourne in the background

@tobz @aotearoa_ben I think it would have to be a widget that opened a little form that asked for your instance.

It’s been so long since I used a retweet button - how did they work? Was it one click and done, or did you click through to Twitter and log in? Twitter was single instance software, so I suppose you logged in on first use of their widget and then you were logged in for ages…

@justwalkaway I was just mildly impressed that you were posting while, umm… ;)

@mike yes, this age basing on the treatment plans is ridiculous - middle child’s autism was handled completely differently because we got into the child psych *2 days* late (having had to wait 4 months for the appointment and I didn’t know about the cut off :( )

Bonjour

Est ce que vous connaissez une université qui a ouvert un serveur Mastodon ?
qui commence ?

Chances are you have been using `ls -la` largely without knowing about its much nicer cousin, `ls -lah` 🥰 the `h` there is for "human readable" 😎 and yes I was today year's old when I figured this out! #Linux #Tips

To this extent I'm really interested to know how the age breakdown of people on the #Fediverse. On one hand it would seem to make sense to me that most people here remember the "old internet" before the centralization and they're here to rekindle that flame of independence. On the other hand the youths are generally pretty up on this whole technology thing. I grew up on the internet and since then smartphones have become even more ubiquitous.

The thing about Twitter is that it really lacks a lot of the features you'd expect from a true Mastodon replacement.

For example, there's no way to edit your toots (which they, confusingly call "tweets"—let's face it, it's a bit of a silly name that's difficult to take seriously).

"Tweets" can't be covered by a content warning. There's no way to let the poster know you like their tweet without also sharing it, and no bookmark feature.

There's no way to set up your own instance, and you're basically stuck on a single instance of Twitter. That means there's no community moderators you can reach out to to quickly resolve issues. Also, you can't de-federate instances with a lot of problematic content.

It also doesn't Integrate with other fediverse platforms, and I couldn't find the option to turn the ads off.

Really, Twitter has made a good start, but it will need to add a lot of additional features before it gets to the point where it becomes a true Mastodon replacement for most users.

@tanepiper @hacks4pancakes @accidentalciso :nods: there can be a point to it, but it is a huge job and I would always try a lot of other things before I settled on that technique

@accidentalciso @hacks4pancakes @tanepiper You can build a community, (ie start a server that you plan to have other people in the community have accounts on) but it’s a big job and it’s rare that there is a business benefit in doing so. IMHO

@hacks4pancakes @tanepiper @accidentalciso I would have inverses the plan: run the server, but as “this is my business” and only she (and any staff she may bring on) have an account. It’s the formal business presence, the same as you have a domain name, not, say, a subdomain on shopify.

@david try dragging it between screens - it often (always?) resizes the window a lot! :(
