Am I the only one that thinks it would be really nice if @libreoffice had an option to Save As markdown? I'm legitimately surprised that's not already a feature.

Here's a pretty cool list of #Mastodon clients if your hardware is "not quite current".

@mike A small light in me hoped that there would be something, anything that would run on my Nokia 9300.

But it's great to see that people made these clients for so many old and loved systems! Thanks for the compilation.

Just so everybody is aware, there's been a bug in a recent version of Friendica (federated software compatible with Mastodon that exists in the Fediverse) that causes some replies to basically @ everyone in the thread. If you see this, please be courteous about it as the author of that post likely didn't intend to spam everybody.

@mike Okay, now that I'm back up and running, I have the fix for that issue to pass along:
As a user of a node/instance:
Settings ➡️ Additional features ➡️ Post Composition Features
then check: "Explicit Mentions"
(this will resolve it for the individual user)
As a node/instance administrator:
Admin ➡️ Additional features ➡️ Post Composition Features
then check both: "Explicit Mentions" and "Lock Feature Explicit Mentions"
(this will solve it instance-wide)

AI generated faces have been shown to be more "trustworthy" in surveys. This is interesting in and of itself.

Dr Sophie Nightingale, who is a Lecturer in Psychology at Lancaster University in the UK says "It’s just going to get worse if we don’t do something to stop it."

I'm curious to hear how she thinks we can "stop" it.

This is now. What kind of results are we going to get in ten years? People are going to be able to do better than this on their phones.

Thoughts?

Gotta say, the new #Pixelfed UI looks AMAZING. @dansup and team did a fantastic job. Can't wait till it moves out of "beta".
