As the fediverse seems to become more popular, more and more frequently I see great posts on my timeline that include an image without ALT text. So sad!
Disregarding the sadness, when I think the message deserves spreading, I usually first add a response with the ALT text, and then boost the original post (with the image without ALT text).
Is that OK? Are you experiencing this too? How do you handle it? WDYT?
I have a #GDAL / #QGIS question for the #GIS commnunity in the Fediverse #askFedi concerning the use of geolocation arrays in raster datsets, i.e. in bands the hold (for example) the latitude and longitude of each cell in the raster.
I'm used to produce datasets in UTM format, for which adding the appropriate georeference metadata is simple. However, in this case I'm producing a raster dataset where the cells are distributed in a “warped” area (think aerial imagery with non-affine transform from data matrix to geo coordinates). I have arrays holding resp. the latitude and longitude of each pixel, and can add it to the dataset, I can specify the GCRS (lat/lon WGS84), but I can't seem to be able to find the metadata to add to the raster so that the goelocation arrays are correctly identified as such.
Online there seems to be only sparse documentation about this, generally implying that this is only supported for specific dataset types in specific formats (usually, the standard format from common satellite data) and the only pages I've found on how to “roll your own” refer to a single old-ish mailing list contribution that recommends the use of a sidecar VRT file. Are there any more modern solutions possible?
@martijn@ieji.deI'm looking for a small table #grill mainly for vegetables for this summer season. I have a small kamado, but due to it's small size it won't reach the best temperature, and it just takes too long.
I was looking at a Cobb Pro Compact, that's a great one, but it's a bit too expensive. Then there are these ceramic japanese/korean ones nowadays, but I'm afraid because of their cheap prices that it's cheap ceramics? Any suggestions? #askfedi #food #spring #summer #help
Extreme #AskFedi long shot, I’m thinking of a Young Adult novel published some time in the 1980s.
It’s a portal fantasy set in what appears to be mid-C20 rural UK. A young boy is telekinetic and learns that using his power causes a dimension slip. He teaches the skill to a girl. Together they slip to a place where they find the wreck of a legendary lost wartime fighter plane that had dimension slipped when the pilot (an ancestor or uncle?) desperately tried to telekinetically control his crippled aircraft. There was some kind of evil overlady who tasks the protagonists with something involving an endless stairway into the sky. I think it was titled “the roof of the world” but i’ve found no evidence of its existence and also every rich dickhead who ever paid some nepalese to carry them up a mountain has used that title for their inevitable ghostwritten autobiography. #bookstodon
Just learned about #openvide today. Did you give it a try? What's your experience like?

@rl_dane@polymaths.socialUpdate: a cheap "HDMI passthrough *sink* dongle" might just be the fix for this
Thanks to @metaning for the idea!

Yo #nerdfriends,
Is there any way to make Linux wait *longer* for an HDMI monitor to wake back up?
What happens a lot of times is that my laptop monitor will wake up, HDMI monitor will *start* to wake up, but by the time it actually becomes fully available, the desktop has given up on it and re-sized all of my windows to fit within the smaller resolution of the laptop monitor.
It's... annoying.

I've been tasked with (read: I volunteered) to buy some Ma'amoul to hand out in celebration of Eid al-Fitr, but websites online are sending mixed messages on how best to keep them fresh over the weekend: room temperature vs cold/frozen. Everyone agrees they need to be air-tight (which they are). Anyone got experience?

How do you deal with uncertainty about death? I'm a medium, I see spirits, but there's still the nagging fear. I suppose it's just the mercury retrograde, but it feels a lot more crushing this month. I occasionally come up on this and forget about it just as quickly, but I still wonder.
Mediums, and other people of Mastodon, how do you deal with the idea of a fleeting existence?
Trying to get my fediverse posting system sorted before #fieldwork this year. What are you all using to edit your @loops videos (ideally on your android phones)?

So, I make bits of software, mostly plug-ins for platforms like #DaVinciResolve or #Blender, mostly because I have a particular thing that needs doing that no-one has catered to. And I yoik them up to Codeberg and if I'm feeling organised I'll write them up on my blog, so that anyone else that has the same particular need can benefit too. I have no intention of selling them, because marketing stuff is not something I remotely enjoy doing, testing and bug fixing is too time consuming, and because I consider it payment for all the free software I get to use.
Generally I release everything under the #GPL3, because it's the one I know about. I'm not really a #coder, and I'm far less a #lawyer, so I have no idea if this is the best option.
So the question I want to #AskFedi is: what do you do with small #code projects you write? What license do you release them under and why, and how do you go about distributing them?
I've only ever had one or two people fork my code or make PRs, I don't think a lot of people in my industry also code, so everything I do is a solo project. So I'd be interested in how people find collaborators for stuff they do.

Hey I’ve been off Mastodon for a while. Are there any new useful tools for bulk-managing one’s followings, lists, filters, etc.?
🅻🅸🅲🅴 (
) @alice@lgbtqia.spacePosts with content warnings and/or blurred media should be able to trend.
There are things that should reach people, but might be triggering to some, and the current setup incentivizes subjecting those individuals to harm in exchange for reach.
Do you agree?
@AncTreat5358@mindly.socialI've gotten pretty good at making stews and other vegan WFPB meals. However, I don't have much experience with making traditional breakfasts. That could be why I'm not losing weight as I thought I would by going WFPB.
Does anyone have a favorite website or YouTube Creator to help me get up to speed on this?
Hey #AskFedi , is there an alternative for writers to Amazon's KDP/library program?
