Hi @freemo , a small question for when you have time: how did you find discourse so far, in terms of maintenace?

I managed a phpbb community, I'd just like something where I do not have to mess with the code, and I do not have to put the whole community in standby when there is an update as some plugin will likely break.
Is it giving you many headaches, so far?

Wednesday: You are not so smart is a brilliant podcast about the research behind decision making, biases, how people change their minds, tribalism, how you fool yourself and confabulate post hoc reasons for your behaviour and more.

Personally, I'm a long time fan and it changed my perception of my self in a decisive way. Way more humble about how sure I am about my ideas.

Give it a shot!

Please dont forget to check in on your friends struggling with Depression and other mental illnesses. Your compassion means a lot to them I'm sure!

Wednesday. It sucks there is no weekday or even month name starting with P.

Evolution Talk is a podcast, who'd guess, about evolution.

Rick coast is pretty a passionate host. Even if the topic was well known, like convergent evolution or natural selection, I had fun with the trivias and the anecdotes.

Oftentimes the topic has however been new to me, like who Robert Chambers or Diderot were.

To be frank a few episodes are a bit devoid of real content, but seemed to me like the exception rather than the rule.

Latest addition to my : The Genealogical World of phylogenetic Networks:

A lot of interesting thoughts about , , computational science, and networks in analysis by scientists from many country, mainly northern Europe.

There is enough to read for a while!

I was thinking that, as a mod, I'd like to spend more time here talking about scientific content and matters and fun facts, and less about the matter.

But then it dawned on me: they are very, very related.

suggestion:

I just started to listen to "Species", where every week Macken talks about a species of animal.
Unlike many other informative pieces of podcast I listened to, this is very entertaining, with fun bits of info and a very story like way of delivering juicy, hard checked facts.
I was captured from the very first episode, the Opossum.

just updated our about page. There is some very important information in there so I highly recommend all QOTO users read the updated page.

We updated the wording on our Rules (same rules as before though effectively), added information on our added features and how to use them, links to the various QOTO services we offer (like FunkWhale or NextCloud).

It also contains a short introductory letter/guide on getting started using QOTO. I hope it will be a huge help for many of you. The link is below.

I would like to follow my professor profile on instagram. Also, there are a couple of twitter accounts I like, and some places on facebook that only post there their events.

I could do an account for each of the places I'd like to get info from but frankly, beside the hassle, it would be time consuming to just go in every website every time to check.

Ah, if there only was a technology that allowed us to, oh I don't know, "aggregate" the news... so that I get something like a notification when something happens, and it could even download the content.

Oh, that would be so nice, I'm sure everybody would use it.

Anyone in the fediverse know how to undo an account migration on mastodon? It seems @bongo did it by mistake and I cant figure out how to undo it.

Any help appreciated

I like . When I see one I like I want the file, not just see it pass by. One problem I had was how to organize them.

I tried a few ways, including hydra network, but too complicated and setting up your own server was a mess.

Finally, yesterday it dawned on me: I just need something to tag in the metadata!

So I use
* shotwell, a media manager in the repo, which has the option to write the tags in the file.

* to back up and sync with my mobile

* a photo manager, a app available on f-droid which can also search by tag (admittedly, people are not very imaginative with names often =D)

And now my devices are synced, memes are backed up, my memes are tagged, and I feel better with my data hoarding instinct <3

r/waterniggas got quarantined by the admins. Drinking water is shocking and possibly offensive

This day started off with a headache, and was downhill from there.

Stay hydrated.

#microblogpub now comes with a setup wizard, Python is not needed anymore for the setup: https://github.com/tsileo/microblog.pub

For working reason I'll have to install whatsapp on my mobile. To avoid it reading my contacts, stuff, running all the time and so on, is there anyone here running it using , or some other confining app? Any thought or best practices?
It's the first non FOSS app I install on my

so, @snailix@mastodon.social , what about that website on your work in scientific education?

Uh, alright, solved, seems like the two integrate pretty well and I can save all my attachments on nextcloud.

Pretty cool!

I just read this article by my professor. It is framing a bit the natural sciences as historical, tackles the envy of physics held by many natural scientists and makes an analysis of as an ecologist, highlighting how he already pointed out most of what is now the staple of .

Wildly interesting.
