@SelectElderberry That sounds like some nice experimenting, William. I do have a Fiio and enjoy the sound, it drives full sized headphones well.

Plus can be an external DAC and sound card for a laptop, and very portable.

Vynil, was all I had in older times, and the maintenance to keep them clean wasn't very fun. 😄

@_lunawinters No, not at all, Aaditi.

It's really an insider's joke, and nobody commented, I assumed they did not see it or didn't get it. Thre's a popular saying among people developing software. Could even be used as an excuse, or be legit.

"It's a Feature, not a Bug. " 🐛 🐜

Like the license plate says. 😉 On a VW Bug.

@iamo just send the admin a request @freemo

@iamo ok, it's your choice, but there is a lot of good people and things. Leaving because of the bad apples gives them power, they forced you out.

I have blocked a large domain that is particularly upsetting for me.

So nerdy or obscure that no one has got it yet? pitty.

* not a bug...

@iamo Very few instances are excluded, yes. Some pretty shocking images sometimes on the Federated feed, but you can block an instance if you like, on your own profile.

@susi123 Thank you it's night time here now, but tomorrow morning is on the way. 👋

@iamo I would love to read that, do you have a source, iamo? TY.

"DES MOINES — Pete Buttigieg continues to surge in Iowa, leapfrogging Senator Elizabeth Warren and former Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. to hold a commanding lead among likely Democratic caucusgoers, according to a new poll from The Des Moines Register and CNN.

The poll showed that Mr. Buttigieg, the 37-year-old mayor of South Bend, Ind., was the first choice for 25 percent of would-be Democratic caucusgoers, a significant increase from the 9 percent he held in September, when The Register last polled the state. The support placed him far ahead of the rest of the field — with the other three top candidates in a virtual tie for second: Ms. Warren, at 16 percent and Mr. Biden and Senator Bernie Sanders at 15 percent."

@iamo I looked at the Settings in the Web client I use mostly, and did not find anything like that. It's possible other clients could offer it.

Here I have discovered that holding onto one of the posts in the very fast moving Federated feed seems to freeze it in place, so I can actually read it.

Moving up later to the top, I can refresh it normally.

Not just a pretty face, but on a pretty village too.

Fedilab LITE version -- link Correction !

I did the two posts above from Fedilab Lite, which still not very familiar with it.

The LITE version page at F-Droid is on this location : https://f-droid.org/en/packages/app.fedilab.lite/

The Lite version is *NOT* listed at Google Play at this moment, or at least I can't find it on a search or under the author's other programmes page.

Compared to the full version, which I haven't used yet, this is less than half the size; might signal it's easier on battery life as well.

Was looking around in the Settings menus, which in the Lite version are simplified. Took some snapshots, my phone uses Portuguese as systems language.

Interesting, was able to increase maximum toot size to 3,000 characters. 👍🤗

Not that I would ever type that mu h on mobile, but it's the first client I tried that allows it, other than the mastodon web client, which gets the instance settings perfectly.

It looks nice, I would recommend it, and it does other Fedi tasks like video and music sharing too.

The counter on the bottom. Of the editor area already shows me near 600 characters on this post, and it's not. Locking me from sending it. YEY!

And a good reporter should try out things, so here I am... Via Fedilab Lite, which I just discovered on F-Droid. 👍😏

It seems nice and this is smaller version, 12 MB download only.

@Sphinx The exam can be difficult, and depending on the traffic, pavement conditions, it could be even worse. Took one when I moved to a different country, had been driving for years, and still had to repeat it. 😞

Good luck on the next one, Sphinx. 🌻

Yes, I have been working with the 7 Billion for a while. People keep making them babies non-stop.

Dr Burner mentioned 7.7 B which is already a lot more, and all those are just estimates, no census counting possible in many places.
