every time i'm on the cybre desktop page and i see the "~/.kbd/shortcuts.conf", my brain immediately goes "ah, yeah, it makes sense that the shortcuts would be managed by kobolds b/c they're both smol"

In the Android apps that I tried (mainly #Tusky, subway tooter, Twidere), there is currently no way to see alt text at all? At least I couldn't figure out how.

And that's a problem, really. Because I can't even tell, if I am about to boost an image without alt text, so I actually don't boost any images on the phone.

I should look into this when I find the time, I guess. But maybe you can too?

Hey mastodon admins, the 25th may is coming closer and so the #GDPR. I don't think the Data Protection Authorities will be a big problem at the moment, they are also overwhelmed by the new regulations and they would try to solve the problem in a favorable way before sanctioning an instance.
The real problem will be lawyers trying to gain money from instances which don't follow the regulations imposed by the GDPR. So the big question is, what do we need to do to comply these rules? #mastoadmin

An der evangelischen Hochschule in Ludwigsburg fand heute ein Vortrag zum Thema Armut statt.
Funfact: Gäste müssen 30€ Eintritt bezahlen.

We are looking for a wheelchair accessible secondary school / highschool in Berlin or anywhere else in Germany. Any substantial recommendations are welcome.

Preferably with “individual rhythm” similar to Montessori and access to “gymnasiale Oberstufe”.

And yeah, part of this goes back to #deletefacebook

Facebook is user hostile.

But it's larger than that.

Modern Windows, MacOS, and even Ubuntu have some user hostile behaviors baked in.

And in the FOSS world the only real successful business model has been "give away the software, sell the support" which means that their is an incentive in FOSS to keep the documentation technical and complicated.

RTFM culture is user hostile behavior.

If you live in the US or Canada and you're spending too much money on games, please call or text the national problem gambling helpline at 1-800-522-4700. You can also chat with people and get info about resources at https://www.gamtalk.org/

You might not think of yourself as a gambler, but that's ok. It's the same addiction, and the same tricks are being used to exploit you. You can fight back.

If you spend hundreds of dollars on mobile phone games, you have an addiction. But it's not your fault. You're a victim of abusive, exploitative games which are designed to take advantage of you. Corporations hire psychologists at great expense specifically to manipulate you into funneling as much money to them as possible. I know it hurts to admit this, but it's not your fault and you can get better.

So there's a post about the Switter/Cloudflare thing on HN, with 41 points and only 1h old, but it's missing from the frontpage 🤔 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16876040

this quote from Bunnie Huang is, i think, probably the best justification for proactive correction of biases i've seen

“A developed country is not when the poor have cars. It is when the rich use public transportation.” Gustavo Petro, socialist candidate for Colombian presidency

Amazing how people who are self-described "brutally honest" never seem to give out brutal complements or be brutally vulnerable.

They can't just be like "Hey @KitRedgrave that skirt looks motherfucking fabulous on you and if you don't like it, tough shit." or "Jesus Christ I am dying of nerves right now at this interview. Just telling it like it is, bruh."
