🌱 Cultivando Género acaba de sacar la 3era edición de su "Diccionario digital para personas no tan digitales"

Un recurso creado desde la humildad de reconocer que las adultas no siempre entendemos el lenguaje digital de las infancias y adolescencias.

La alfabetización digital también es intergeneracional y preguntar es parte del acompañamiento. ¿Cómo le hacen para cerrar la brecha sin perder la vibe? 😋😶

28km Long run at 3:36 and that put an end to a 90km+ week.

Bad news: I injured my achilles tendon quite badly and don't really know what happened 😔 do you have a similar experience? I don't know how long the recovery takes, but I have a doctor's appointment next week to see.

in reply to Moha

Achillies injuries can take a while to heal; take it easy until you see the doctor and have it looked at. You *really* don’t want to make it worse and drag out recovery even longer.

Is there any reason why the official Mastodon app (I use Android) is NOT showing a warning, if you try to post a picture without ALT-TEXT?

@apps does a great UX job here and reminds me, every time I forget to add an alt text.

If needed, I can add a feature request / bug ticket.

@Mastodon @haubles @Gargron

#alttext #mastodon #ux

in reply to Eugen Rochko

Thx for your reply.

On should be the standard, or?
People who are new to the Fediverse and have zero ideas what an alt-text is, will not turn it on.
We see, especially after di.day, a rise of users who have zero ideas about it.
They want an easy user experience.

We have some "hard cases" and they are so much struggling with doing it right.

@Mastodon @haubles



I had a chat with Frank Karlitschek from @nextcloud about digital sovereignty

There's a lot of attention lately around digital sovereignty and often that conversation also includes Nextcloud. Frank tells us all about how Nextcloud works, how it can be used to free your data, and has some great insight into what decentralization already looks like and what it could look like soon

@Muse in case you havent read it, prepare for eye-floods - although, there are bursts of humour in there as well. i had to put it down a few times in order to go and..gaze at the horizon, pretty much.

Como parte del proyecto tramas.digital nuestra compañera Paola Ricaurte estará presentando el panel "El impacto de los centros de datos a hiperescala" en #Querétaro donde se establecerían 27 #CentrosDeDatos.

"El caso de Querétaro demuestra que los centros de datos, a menudo presentados como indicadores de digitalización, modernización y desarrollo económico, están profundamente entrelazados con historias de despojo territorial, degradación ambiental y connivencia entre el Estado y el capital. "

Preserved within the down-faulted interior of the Saguenay Graben are two large eroded, isolated patches, known as outliers, of Paleozoic, Middle Ordovician, sedimentary rock composed of limestones and shales overlying Precambrian basement. The Lac-Saint-Jean outlier rests against the south wall of the graben south of Lac Saint-Jean and extends to the west of the lake. The Chicoutimi (Saguenay) outlier rests against the north wall of the graben and extends southward to a few kilometers from the Saguenay River north of Chicoutimi. These Middle Ordovician sedimentary rocks consist of sandstones, micritic limestones and highly fossiliferous, alternating beds of limestones and shales. These rocks have been preferentially eroded by repeated glaciations exhuming the Saguenay Graben.

Some good soil there!

Profits are secondary to establishing the return of fascism and slavery.

Someone at #FOSDEM asked us to put some promotional materials on our website that they could print for an event. There is now a section for that on the Branding page with our first poster:

joinmastodon.org/branding

Eugen Rochko reshared this.

in reply to Eugen Rochko

I know it's a long shot but if someone who sees this found their way to Mastodon through one of the leaflets we distributed at #FOSDEM, I want to hear from you--what did you think of the leaflet? I need to generalize those for other events.
in reply to Eugen Rochko

Tangential question, getting the word out here in Vegas is profoundly difficult, if leafleting work[s|ed], I need to know more.

We are going to drive a year-long Smarter Smart City Challenge, because gambling against all odds is what we have in lieu of Innovation Culture…

Thanks and Cheers

in reply to Eugen Rochko

Also here, would love to see your leaflet and copy here in the UK amongst activist circles
in reply to Eugen Rochko

not one, but can you send the leaflet in an editable format? I'm hosting a cryptoparty at the end of the month. Would like to push people here.

Here is an unsanctioned version of the Mastodon poster for those doing some home-printing and are a little conscious of saving ink.

The world is on fire, but here's a nice thing. A few months ago, a pigeon laid two eggs under our outdoor furniture on our balcony. We put a camera in there to keep an eye. The eggs hatched, survived, grew up, flapped their wings, and left the nest. 😀 Here's what happened & what we learned.


Discord is about to require age verification for everyone gamingonlinux.com/2026/02/disc…

#Discord

in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux 🐧🎮

from the comments, I don't think people understand this is government-mandated. Discord wouldn't inflict this onto themselves. The age verification thing is an excuse to get the ID of everyone, that's all. Same with requiring your phone number (= ID). It all ties in with digital IDs and the BS most governments are pushing forward. If you want to opt out the real #privacy centered options are Briar, Jami, Tox, Jitsi and most self-hosted federated solutions. Like Mastodon

Why use AI writing tools when you can just build your own workflow in Emacs instead?

in reply to It's FOSS

Version controlled thought patterns, a lisp language to manipulate thought patterns, capture thoughts, a thought repository - wow that sounds indeed incredible! 👍

Oh how wonderful would such a world be.

When do you think your book will be ready? 😁

in reply to It's FOSS

"Emacs is as fluid and unique as the minds of its users." is a good crystallisation of the emacs user (configurer?) experience
