Mind The Gap


"Action not only beats despair, it staves off despair."

I love it when an article is both adorable and important!




Kyle is playing the works of the great songwriters and songs they inspired him to write, along with the tangents, rants and non sequiturs you've tolerated since 2007. Sharing this post kills fascists!

So, I’m actually trying to give a website access to my location via my browser, and it doesn’t work. I’ve tried both Chromium and Zen Browser but the location access just doesn’t happen. To double check, I tested with where-am-i.net and it’s nothing.

On one hand, this is really nice. On the other hand, I need to verify my location to a website to make some money, so… can anyone help?

in reply to nebunez

Figured it out, geoclue.service wasn’t on. Good to know that as long as I keep that service turned off that websites can’t get my location.


We just released Granite 7.7.0 which will be included in our next Flatpak Platform update. This is a pretty big release that includes quite a lot of new depreciations as well as new widgets, resourced icons, a new StyleManager, all kinds of goodies!

In case you missed it, Quote Posts are live on mastodon.social and mastodon.online — let us know what you think!

This feature has been a long time coming because we wanted to take the time to do it right. Part of that process was sharing our work and getting feedback along the way.

blog.joinmastodon.org/2025/02/…

in reply to Mastodon Engineering

We wanted to share a special thanks with the community members who were instrumental in the design of quote posts.

First, @mekkaokereke whose feedback and guidance helped us iterate on Quote Posts to make them safer and more inclusive. Thank you Mekka!

in reply to Mastodon Engineering

ok but why are they incompatible with literally every other qpost system on the fediverse
in reply to Pablo B.Y

it's on others they just won't advertise them because they're getting greedy with the mastodon name not being Seperate from the software.
in reply to Will Phoenix

they're the only instances where they can control whether or not it is available and they wanted a gradual rollout.
in reply to Pablo B.Y

Any feature we run is available to everyone on the code repository and via nightly releases.
in reply to DEVilonger 📟🎀

@devilonger @mekkaokereke because they use an actual ActivityPub standard with protections against abuse built in instead of the non-standard implementations from other software
in reply to François

@arsdeficiendi

"because they use an actual ActivityPub standard "

Well that is a total nonsense statement.

They created their own proprietary implementation of Quote Posts, which is not compatible with any other AP instance outside the Mastodon bubble.

in reply to Just a Unicorn

@theUnicorn @arsdeficiendi Nothing we do is proprietary. We published a FEP for the ActivityPub standard. There is nothing Mastodon-specific about it. Multiple other fediverse platforms already support our approach.


Ya está disponible la segunda parada de #TerritorioMóvil

Tired of manually mounting drives in Linux?

Here’s how to automate it:

itsfoss.com/automount-drives-l…

in reply to It's FOSS

How to to that with a webdav drive on GNOME without the need to configure additional stuff/credentials besides the already connected web account like nextcloud?

Could not manage to do that yet and still work around by opening file manager and manually clicking on the drive.



fun fact number one: if you lose your internet and reconnect, outlook for web will appear to continue working, but will no longer receive incoming emails. this can be fixed by reloading the page

fun fact number two: outlook for web has a handy keyboard shortcut for replying to the email you're reading! it's ctrl+R.

wait a minute... these facts aren't fun at all 🙁

here's an actual fun fact to make up for this: this shortcut is probably bill gate's fault! or at least, that's what i'm choosing to believe, because it's funnier that way

in reply to Lynnesbian

thunderbird also has the same ctrl + r shortcut

every now and then, I press ctrl + r to try to mark an email as "read" rather than just "r"




YouTube to pay $24.5m to settle Trump lawsuit over Capitol riot


As part of Monday's settlement, YouTube will pay $22m to the Trust for the National Mall, a non-profit group that is aiming to raise $200m to build a new ballroom at the White House.

Another $2.5m will be paid to other organisations and individuals who joined Trump's lawsuit, including the American Conservative Union.

YouTube is the latest major platform to settle with the president.

My boy loves everything analogue photography so when we stumbled upon this photo booth we just couldn't help ourselves. There was even a live feed of the inside showing the developing process and the photo strip came out still dripping from the last rinse.
