** Finding and Using a good Image Hosting Service **
I just posted a Detailed Guide to uploading files to a Image Host, here in a reply, deep into a Thread.
It is an important and useful subject -- so I copied and expanded the post, it's on my GlitchSocial Web Publishing account -- https://muensterland.social/@rgx
See it Here : https://muensterland.social/@rgx/104320184285388779

...but it looks Miles better at the other place.

If I set up a thread on Discourse to support remote learning (within STEM topics ) it it better to invite people to mastodon first then from here invite them to the discourse instance ?
I would like to move a casual support forum to here and discourse as where it is right now just isn't working at all.
As we are STEM related, then I guess this includes computing and computer science, so hopefully it can be somewhere to collate links to say game design courses for example.
Thanks

++ Hamburg wants to focus more on Free Software ++
In #Hamburg, the #SPD and the #Greens are stating in their coalition agreement to focus more on #FreeSoftware during their future term. Although the coalition agreement contains several loopholes, for example for procurement procedures and diffuse justification to protect proprietary software vendors, the #FSFE still welcomes the step forward and will critically monitor its implementation.

Quite a lot of info and a long document but may be of interest anyway.
* Write.freely blog - a guide for new users *
@angedestenebres made a nice and illustrated guide for new users of Write.freely blogs, but it's all in French.
Goal is to help people interested in using the write.freely instance at TeDomum.net — which has been my blog's home. This morning I took some time and translated her guide to English.
Now the page is on my blog: https://write.tedomum.net/rgx/write-freely-wiki-documentation

Hi,
Breonna Taylor was an award-winning EMT and first responder in Louisville, KY, who loved helping her patients and her community. "She was an essential worker. She had to go to work," her mother, Tamika Palmer said of her dedication to standing on the frontlines of this pandemic. "She didn't have a problem with that."
On the night of March 13th, the Louisville Metro Police executed a warrant, looking for drugs they never found, reportedly trafficked by a person who did not live with Breonna or in her complex-and whom they already had in custody.
They sprayed her home with 20 rounds, shooting Breonna 8 times, killing her in her bed.
Neither the Louisville Metro Police nor Mayor Greg Fischer have given her mother any answers. "Not one person has talked to me. Not one person has explained anything to me," Tamika Palmer, Taylor’s mother, said in an interview. "I want justice for her. I want them to say her name. There’s no reason Breonna should be dead at all."
Will you join me in signing the petition demanding justice for Breonna?

The President is publicly stating that the police are within their rights to assault a 75 year old man if they suspect that he has anti-Trump feelings.
Set aside the crazy conspiracy lunacy for a moment. The PRESIDENT is saying that due process is not terribly important.

Buffalo protester shoved by Police could be an ANTIFA provocateur. 75 year old Martin Gugino was pushed away after appearing to scan police communications in order to black out the equipment. @OANN I watched, he fell harder than was pushed. Was aiming scanner. Could be a set up?
Ok so on that basis if we don't need due process, rather than messing around trying to impeach the president could the senate / congress just sack him.
I know the answer is going to be NO but it's the thought that counts.
@freemo there was a post on twitter where, trump is dismissing his lower rating in a poll as fake news, i replied to the reply which someone just had LOL LOL etc loads of times, with the question LOL aside what happens if a serving president says the result of an election is fake news and refuses to step aside.
Under normal circumstances, that suggestion would be crazy, esp in teh US, but hey with trump at the helm who knows.
Looks like progress is being made on police reforms
