Buffer, my favourite social media tool, added scheduled Mastodon Thread posting support.

Not sponsored in any way, just a user. Itโ€™s how I post to Mastodon, Facebook and Twitter at the same time.

For Bluesky I just have a script to auto-post as soon as I publish, as I don't really care too much about Bluesky yet.

I just got curious about Bluesky and made an account a couple days ago. I had a follow within minutes, and more replies in an hour than Iโ€™ve had my whole time on mastodon. Plus, with multiple feeds, I was able to easily follow good accounts quickly.

I love the grass roots feeling of Mastodon, but itโ€™s often like screaming into the void. I posted a simple Linux question with the popular hashtags and got zero replies here. There, I got 5 replies.

in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux ๐Ÿง๐ŸŽฎ

Do you know if they support posting longer than 500 characters if the instance supports it?

Edit: Just checked, it is fixed at 500 chars. RIP.

In 2013, a senior university administrator where I worked โ€œjokedโ€ that - to garner more attention to our research - my team should imprison me & the 1 other woman in a basement. This was the same week in 2013 that national news focused on the 3 female victims kidnapped, abused & imprisoned in an Ohio house for over a decade. (en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ariel_โ€ฆ)

This person was a former political appointee now at the university. Everyone went silent, but no one responded.

my experience is men would rather the women minimise and pretend they're not upset than addressing the crappy male behaviour that makes working with them so exhausting and threatening

Tencent ported my python 3 code to python 2. And violated my copyright by replacing my copyright notice with their own and changing the licence from GPL to BSD.

Steam still not specify that it has changed how it works, you can't invite friends/family members from other countries. Was it a problem? Perhaps but they solving it by making new version on steam families. Not happy about that especially as I have some family members that gone living/working abroad.

When you search for โ€œmastodonโ€ in the iPhone App Store, the top result is an ad for Truth Social #enshittification
in reply to Micah Lee

It's a shame there is seemingly nothing you can do as the app owner to stop this. Maybe buying your own ad for your own keyword, but we don't have money to spend on that.
in reply to Eugen Rochko

@Gargron yeah. Apple selling ads that appear first when people search for the name of your app is unethical, and also just makes the experience of iPhones worse
in reply to Eugen Rochko

@Gargron
>> Maybe buying your own ad for your own keyword, but we don't have money to spend on that.

Based on Truth Social's financials and stock prices they might not have the money for that soon either. ๐Ÿ™‚

in reply to Eugen Rochko

@Gargron maybe starting to giving massively bad reviews โ€ฆ
At least in my country mastodon is listed ok ๐Ÿ˜€
in reply to Eugen Rochko

you could view this incident as a PR opportunity, and write about it in the blogosphere, in terms of ethics, capitalism, post-twitterism, enshittification, and all what attracts Target Mastodon users. This would work as a positive story about Mastodon because the user bases are practically diametrically opposed.

I see you're posting from the mastodon.xyz server. Does this mean that your own "Nextcloud Social" app is still abandonware, due to unfixed regression bugs that broke your app interfaces? Long-term users don't appreciate apps turning into abandonware due to poor bug management and testing processes.


Just to highlight: I do have a discord for The Siren Tragedies! I'm really trying to build it up, so if you read the books, liked them and want to keep in touch with other readers/the author as the new ones are being worked on, please consider joining!

Printed and framed one of my recent photos. I honestly miscalculated the size of the passepartout a bit, it would probably look better without the inner margin. Iโ€™m still just kind of trying it on. Wish this was a darkroom print, but itโ€™s not. Donโ€™t have access to one at the moment.

As my eyes move to look at the picture, the framing makes me feel like I am entering in to a room. I really like this.

in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux ๐Ÿง๐ŸŽฎ

they offer this to their more recent games now, instead of doing before. They know that the shutdown of the first The Crew game was a PR nightmare for them. They should also reverse course on taking the game from people's libraries and update the game one more time to also add this offline play feature in.
in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux ๐Ÿง๐ŸŽฎ

I always wanted to play this, but because it was online only on a game that did not need to be I never did. I also don't like buying a game that die off soon after then can't even have fun because it's online only and unplayable.
