Pozwolę sobie podpowiedzieć rozwiązanie, jak łatwo i wygodnie obejść ograniczenie maksymalnej wagi i rozmiaru obrazków na Mastodonie, żeby nie męczyć się ze skalowaniem i zapisywaniem mniejszych plików.

Wystarczy wyświetlić sobie zdjęcie i zrobić printscreena, którego normalnie wklei się już do wpisu.

Tylko trzeba pamiętać, że jak ma się bardzo dużą rozdzielczość ekranu, to zdjęcie należy wyświetlać sobie nie na pełnym ekranie, tylko pomniejszone.

Also, my real-life friends, you can use any free RSS reader you like, I’m not promoting any specific one, to follow my Mastodon without signing up.

To download an RSS reader, just search “RSS reader” on Google Play or the Apple App Store.

Then copy and paste this "social.linux.pizza/@midtsveen." link into your reader and voilà, my whole feed will be available!

You do you and I’ll do me. Cool? Cool.

You don't need to use your real name on the Fediverse. It is totally fine to use a nickname or made up name, as long as you're not impersonating someone else.

You also don't need to use a photo if you don't want to. You can put a picture of something else on your profile, or don't have a picture at all. (Many blind users have no image on their profile, for example.)

The only info you need to give when you sign up is an email address, and only your server's admin sees this.

Ayer me apetecía ver Mansfield Park, una de las pocas películas basadas en una obra de Jane Austen que me quedaban pendientes. En concreto la versión del año 2000, que por desgracia no estaba en ninguna parte... salvo en Youtube, completa y en HD.

Es una lástima que permitan que la gente suba películas enteras a su plataforma, porque otra persona cualquiera podría llegar, copiar el enlace, usar la web Cobalt para bajarla en 1080p sin límites ni restricciones, y guardársela para siempre.

Pero nadie haría eso, ¿verdad?

Finding a great way to turn around a stressful week is to relax Friday watching standup comedy. Unplugs the work brain and shakes all the code crumbs out.
Russell Howard is great for some feel good funnies.

Suggerimenti per una migliore leggibilità quando si pubblicano testi più lunghi:

👉 dividete il testo in paragrafi

👉 preferite frasi più brevi

👉 Inserite al massimo un link, preferibilmente al di sotto del testo

👉 Inserite gli URL per intero, con https://..., così potrete cliccarci sopra direttamente (vale anche per il profilo!).

👉 Inserite un numero moderato di hashtag in basso invece che nel testo.

👉 Hashtag in CamelCase (meglio per gli screen reader)

Risultato: è più probabile che le persone vi leggano e vi apprezzino 😊.

I just remembered you can follow someone but disable their boosts :cat_wow:

both for new people I follow as well as for ones I already follow, I need to remember that so I can disable them on people who often boost posts that need a CW (or three) but don't :frog_think:

p.s. you can do this for me, too :bugcat_nod: if my boosts aren't to your tastes, it's not just ok but actively good to turn them off :hug_love: (especially since my boost-to-post ratio scales exponentially with both my exhaustion and depression :emolga_sweat: )

If you see an account profile marked "Automated" or "Bot", it doesn't mean anything bad!

The "Automated" label is activated by account owners who want to let people know that they aren't monitoring the replies to their posts, usually because a bot is running it.

Accounts that use this label are "good bots", providing useful services such as weather updates or interactive games. Bad bots simply wouldn't use the label at all.

A periodic reminder: it is best for your mental health not to read mastodon trending posts first thing in the morning. (Honestly we could probably use a default content warning on that tab.) #feditips

i think i had my first truly positive #AI experience... i asked it to write code comments that could be transformed into API documentation for #Fedialgo, and other than the part where it repeatedly and strenuously suggested deleting all the most important parts of the code, it actually did a pretty good job.
