Anyone on Mastadon a freelance sound designer/musician? I have a very small job for the podcast and would rather work with someone here than fiverr

#RSS seems to be a natural friend of the #fediverse and @danielmiessler's sentiment about it echoes my own:

"I see RSS curation like the practice of cooking one’s own meals. There’s something magical about picking specific ingredients, using custom tools to prepare them, and then consuming the output."

Definitely worth reading his entire article about this:

Sounds good, :) Can we invite Damien on to the Fediverse perhaps ?

Indeed the recent article in The Sun written by Jeremy Clarkson about Megan Markle was criticise, however in reporting this, the BBC also asked the question why was it even allowed to get past the editorial stage.

Interesting as Debian 11 has version 3.38.0 . I get the following.resolution options.

Time for more digging I guess

+1 another plan would be to create better journalists, as some are just lazy and sloppy so those who are actually good need to be recognised but THEY need to stand up for their industry and root out those who are giving all of them a bad name.

A good way to counter mis-information would be to ask for people to back up claims with EVIDENCE. Another way is to provide EVIDENCE to back up statements.

As far as I am aware Wikipedia is NOT considered an academic source of information. No harm in quoting it depends on where you are using that information.

I am using Firefox 91.13.0esr (64-bit) on Debia 10, and seem to get a right click menu. Could we perhaps compare notes on versions so that we can id the version of firefox that may be causing the issue(s).

@kirschner My daughter, Ada (7y/o), read the first half of the hardcover edition tonight and she is absolutely loving it! She is excited to write a review of the book when she is done. :)

Hive mind! Can you help us with a question about books and science?

My partner is an English teacher interested in representation in young adult books. Can anyone suggest to us examples of YA/children's books with women who are scientists? Could be something you read as a child, or something you've read to your own child, or anything else...!

Please share widely! We'd really appreciate as many responses as possible.

@gnome Does anyone know if the Cheese web camp app will be updated to support HD please.

I am asking as it seems it is maintained by the gnome team. I amk also asking as I have a Bresser USB Microscope, which works fine in Cheese, however the microscope supports up to 1080 pictures, but Cheese only goes up to 640x480.

Dear friends! I am looking for some leads for helping a couple of #juniordevs that have a non-traditional career path to get into the industry. This seems like a real challenge!

Does anyone know who is #hiring #junior #webdevs without experience, or has an #internship / #apprenticeship that doesn't require a college enrollment?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Please retoot to spread the word! 😺

"#Natural" doesn't mean it's safe. Strychnine is natural too.

"No #chemicals" is impossible. Everything in nature is made out of chemical compounds.

"No #poisons". Nearly everything in nature is poisonous. It's the dose that matters. You can be poisoned by water.

"Essential oils" are not essential. It's a pretty bad misnomer.

All these words above and more, are abused by people who reject #science and try to part you from your money by using scare tactics.

Good point, once we can overcome this, we can work with others to complement each others skills and expertise.

Excellent points here, The free software community do seem to know how to work together, but there are far too many groups who are not interested in outside help or collaboration, even though as you suggest sharing insights, expertise, knowledge and experience can be hugely beneficial.
