@_elena @gjholmes NEVER push to prod on Fridays!

@Szescstopni @NatureMC Weird... it should have done by now? Guess it must be a glitch?

@blenderdumbass absolutely agree. At this point it seems like I need to get newer YouTube's that haven't been entrenched yet or folks actively looking to support the Fediverse. Thanks for the thoughts and great Convo sir! :-).

@human3500 @molly0xfff don't get my hopes up.

p.s. Whilst assembling this thread, found out the very sad news that long-time Fediverse member, birder and photographer @eric passed away in March of this year:https://mastodon.ericlathrop.com/@eric/114181995689859524️ Eric Lathrop RIP

@juangames Oh heck... thank you for that, it means so much to hear that! My aim is to encourage people onto the Fediverse so it is wonderful to hear!

@leeloo There are lots of niche subjects I've posted threads about that most people will have no interest in, but that thread's community will be very interested in.I'm not sure why countries are any different to this?My to-do list currently has 20 countries left on it, the list as a whole has about 170 topics left on it. I work my way through the to-do list, expand the topic list, and then start again.

@_elena @mastodonmigration the Fediverse sure has gotten me to increase my reading. Never bought so many books in my life as I have over the last few years. :'D

@ghighi Thank you!

@doboprobodyne @compost_funeral @brucelawsonLaws and social norms based on this kind of thinking contribute to a broader culture of victim-blaming and control over women's autonomy. Instead of teaching and expecting men (and everyone) to behave with respect and self-control, society too often shifts the burden onto women to avoid being seen or "provocative."

@filmfreakmafia Whoops, sorry about that! Have edited it!I was going by the "automated" label, thanks for the correction

@admin @ponytail @libreinator According to Wikipedia, 57% have some form of Hindi but only 10% have some form of English:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_languages_by_number_of_native_speakers_in_India#List_of_languages_by_number_of_native_speakersIt is still one of the largest English speaking populations because 10% of a billion is 100 million, but it looks like Hindi is spoken by 570 million?EDIT: Having said that, I'm not Indian and perhaps there are sensitivies or conventions over which languages are used for general information? Would be good to hear which language Indians prefer.

@mastodonmigration @sendung @LaurensHof FediForum is an unconference, which means attendees decide on the sessions on the day of the event. So as organizers, we do not know upfront what they will put on the agenda. Historically, FediForum has had far more ActivityPub-related sessions than those related to other protocols, e.g. look at the session notes and demos from last time: https://fediforum.org/2024-09/Note that many are really protocol-independent on larger issues.

This one took probably more than a day #2Dartist #digitalart #maysketchaday

@firesidefedi @ozoned absolutely 1000% up for it! Ping @Floppy and arrange a time 🥳

@MissGayle I’m determined to figure part of it out somehow… I think I may be throwing spaghetti at the wall for a while, but something will stick. I’ll keep you posted!!

@tilvids @Techaltar @thibaultmol @lps @peertube I wonder if you could somehow route your library sync feature through a #VPN ? @peertube or a VPN provider know that could help or give suggestions? Any #networking folks?

I could go on, but your average business major has been taught from books by someone who read social science texts from other disciplines and then did their best to simplify the conclusions into something useful.This is where the foolishness creeps in, because if you take the conclusions by themselves without working for them, you don't really understand what they mean.
