Hello to all newcomers! I see everyone is doing #introductions again — mind if I join?
I am a 28-year old cishet guy living in #Milan, #Italy. I graduated in #math and ended up doing #programming for a living. I discovered Mastodon though #metafilter almost a year ago.
Some of the stuff I'm interested in: #photography, #travel, #flânerie, #geocaching, #publictransport, #cinema (especially the oldies), #reading (mostly nonfiction), #podcasts, #selftracking, #geography, #linguistics, #typography
Good morning, lovely people! I hope you have a wonderful July 
And happy Canada Day to all the Canadians in the fediverse! 🇨🇦
This has made me do a think
I would really love to *do* something, but it’s 31 ºC indoors and I-don’t-even-want-to-know-how-many outside. The only things I feel like doing are sleeping, drinking water and taking showers 😓

Reclaiming RSS
“Before Twitter, before algorithmic timelines filtered our reality for us, before surveillance capitalism, there was RSS: Really Simple Syndication … As we move away from the centralised web to the peer web, it’s time to rediscover, re-embrace, and reclaim RSS.”
Photographers of the fediverse, a question for you: I would like to bring my DSLR and lens in my cabin baggage on a plane. My camera backpack is too bulky, so I’m tempted to put my gear in a regular backpack, but I’d need to protect it in some way.
Do you have any experience with camera inserts and/or protective wraps? Or should I just wrap everything up in a shirt and save money?
The brightest moment of the day was when a project manager I worked with wrote me that I would be a good PM (and CC’d my boss!). A nice exception to the usual thanklessness of this job.

Happy Pride Month to all of you, especially if you can't wave your flag or haven't found it yet.
Good morning people. I hope you enjoy your Friday 🙂
in a public forum like this, with no ability to separate things into different conversations or threads, no content is too important for a cw.
just do it.
(note that this does not mean everything /needs/ one, just that "too important" is no excuse.)
#Instapaper is still not accessible from the EU (more than four weeks after #GDPR Day!) and they have not replied to my email about the topic.
At this point I will make it official and move definitively to either Pocket or Wallabag.
Good job, Instapaper.
