I want to get back into reading so I'm easing myself in with something I already know. I tried Equal Rites first but it didn't take. I've begun re-reading Artemis Fowl again.

@Gargron Oh no please don't give up on Pratchett

but maybe start with Guards! Guards!, that's when the 'modern Ankh-Morpork' really started and it's a solid wassname, metaphor for the human condition, and if that's not bad enough, it's also a bloody huge fiery flying thing.

Or Pyramids, because it's filled with Ancient Egyptian AND confectionary name puns.

(The warring kingdoms of Hersheba and Djelibabi are awesome)

@Gargron man I haven't thought about Artemis Fowl in years, but I remember reading it voraciously. Thanks for reminding me!

Probably a good time to mention that the next version of Mastodon will finally make account suspensions reversible (with a separate option to delete data when needed). Been working on that for a few weeks (among other things)

My eyes are so tired all the time, like it's exhausting to focus on the screen...

@Gargron You won't like it but the solution may be looking a bit less at the screens

@Gargron
That's because it takes physical effort to retain a fixed focus instead of constantly changing focus as you would if looking around...

@Gargron I miss the days when I had a Chrome extension that turned all pictures of Tony Abbott into pictures of kittens. I also used that extension as a way of checking whether Drupal sites were using a common extension with broken Alt tags and therefore not accessible.

@Gargron At a quick glance it looks like the same method which is used to keep the seawater out of lakes and rivers.

I finally bought green tea but the tea making process is such a reflex at this point I always fill it with boiling water instead of waiting a bit like you're supposed to with green tea.

@Gargron Und bitte, sage mir doch mal, warum ich nicht meine Instanz gestartet bekomme. Ich verstehe das immer noch nicht mein guter. Also das ich die nicht fertig machen kann. dazu muss ich mal allen, wenn ich das weiß was Posten. Da ich das schon öfters gehört habe von anderen. Nicht jeder will und kann Englisch. Ich muss immer mit dem Übersetzer arbeiten. Deswegen schaue ich immer nach guten Büchern meiner Sprache gut schreiben. Dass man ein was lernt & mitkommt. Code bleibt ja der gleiche.

@Gargron We had an odd smell fill the kitchen yeasterday and later found out that a teabag had fallen in the toaster just before we used it for bread. I don't know what kind of tea that would be...

@Gargron Are you tired because I was banging two pots together over and over outside your house all night?

@Gargron Perfect mood for relaxing listening to Mastodon, Tool, Volbeat...

The world is unraveling and I don't know how anyone is supposed to cope with it all

@Gargron It's going to be a weird decade after all of this. I wonder what it'll be like for those going through their formative years now...

@Gargron Radical self-care, combined with radical care for others.

Activists often are self-sacrificing to a fault, which is understandable given the stakes, but holding civilization together will be a marathon, not a sprint. We'll be dealing with climate change, racism, fascism, etc. for the rest of our lives. We need to make sure our contributions are sustainable, and avoid burnout. People who are already overwhelmed and burned out need to start by putting their oxygen mask on

@Gargron you should come to the usa! THIS COUNTRY UNRAVELED A LONG TIME AGO!!

I kind of want a way to share 10-15 sec looping videos without quality loss right from iOS. I don't want any social features, nothing, just something that would allow me to send an impression of a moment to a friend...

@Gargron On Android I just add the clip or pictures to a zip file and send it. It works also using WhatsApp or s* like that. Don't know how to do that on iOS however.

@Gargron aside from looping, this seems doable using the shortcuts app;
Take a short video -> Share

Taking a video can start immediately,
The share action automatically prompts to trim the video.
I guess however the video is sent might determine if it will be played in a loop for the recipient.

@Gargron I host my own Nextcloud and my phone's camera app is set to automatically upload new content to my server. Whenever I want to share something I just use the Nextcloud mobile app to generate a public link directly to the file in question instead of posting it to social media. No loss of quality because they're looking directly at the video file itself.

@Gargron With all respect, her first big mistake was expecting to find a woman-centric safe space on a smartphone app — especially on an app called "Giggle".

@Gargron hallo Eugen ich habe eine Instanz mir zugelegt, also sprich eigenen Server. Die Domains da ich so viele haben liegen woanders. Habe es alles eingerichtet. Außer das es immer noch nicht ganz mit den DNS klappt. Ich hoffe bis Morgen dafür den richtigen weg Gefunden zu haben. Jetzt meine Frage muss ich mir eine Open-Source-Lizenz holen? Oder wie kann ich das ganze Starten, da ich dazu noch nicht viel gefunden habe. club.darknight-coffee.org/abou das ist die Instanz. Daher frage ich dich mal
