I'm a crepuscular poet who drifts between phases irregularly, carried by an unrequited romance with the Moon. If you create something that's the right shape, poetry may fall out of me.

If only I had one as exciting as you did! npub1u8g5fllhx3gu0grqe7dngruxmgzhsdeu95qezp66qc5ak23zzmtsqg4ejr wordsmith‽ ⁂ looks a bit like my "garden", aka the little wild patch of green behind my flat. npub1u8g5fllhx3gu0grqe7dngruxmgzhsdeu95qezp66qc5ak23zzmtsqg4ejr wordsmith‽ ⁂ Funny that, @npub1568…d5ss you always seem to be in an Alliance-friendly bar come RFFF-day lookin' for a quiet pie to eat. npub1u8g5fllhx3gu0grqe7dngruxmgzhsdeu95qezp66qc5ak23zzmtsqg4ejr wordsmith‽ ⁂ @npub1tk7…6cq3 I notice some of the videos (the first three at https://tv.gravitons.org/c/robertafidora/videos at least) are only available in 144p or 2160p resolutions, and it defaults to the really low-res. Should more resolutions available? npub1u8g5fllhx3gu0grqe7dngruxmgzhsdeu95qezp66qc5ak23zzmtsqg4ejr wordsmith‽ ⁂ all those kids toing-and-froing have been wearing it off, the text is important because otherwise, who knows what it's for? npub1u8g5fllhx3gu0grqe7dngruxmgzhsdeu95qezp66qc5ak23zzmtsqg4ejr wordsmith‽ ⁂ @npub1568…d5ss is raiding @npub1l9l…fwar on 25th July at 20:00 UTC for a #movie watch party! npub1u8g5fllhx3gu0grqe7dngruxmgzhsdeu95qezp66qc5ak23zzmtsqg4ejr wordsmith‽ ⁂ Thanks to @npub1lue…5qlm with his Remembering Glaciers stream for the #RadioFreeFedi fest. https://party.radiofreefedi.net/ npub1u8g5fllhx3gu0grqe7dngruxmgzhsdeu95qezp66qc5ak23zzmtsqg4ejr wordsmith‽ ⁂ Anyone on #Mastodon 4.4 (which includes https://writing.exchange/ 'rs) may be wondering why #AltText doesn't appear when they hover the mouse over attached media. One now shows the Alt Text by clicking on the "ALT" icon towards the lower-right. The previous behaviour was arguably a bug: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/30016 npub1u8g5fllhx3gu0grqe7dngruxmgzhsdeu95qezp66qc5ak23zzmtsqg4ejr wordsmith‽ ⁂ What a statement. Not just flaming but on fire with citations and then drawing a line in the sand and walking away from the relentless erosion. Fuckin' A. npub1u8g5fllhx3gu0grqe7dngruxmgzhsdeu95qezp66qc5ak23zzmtsqg4ejr wordsmith‽ ⁂ and you don't have to toot odten to be our pocket friend. You don't have to be witty or clever with every post. The algorithm may demand that, but not us. npub1u8g5fllhx3gu0grqe7dngruxmgzhsdeu95qezp66qc5ak23zzmtsqg4ejr wordsmith‽ ⁂ is there a canonical uk.gov Web page that links to this as part of their consultation? I have two rainbow barrels ready to fire at this sort of form. npub1u8g5fllhx3gu0grqe7dngruxmgzhsdeu95qezp66qc5ak23zzmtsqg4ejr wordsmith‽ ⁂ I miss TheNews. What a strange sentiment to have in these days. npub1u8g5fllhx3gu0grqe7dngruxmgzhsdeu95qezp66qc5ak23zzmtsqg4ejr wordsmith‽ ⁂ I thought you did a great job explaining it and your tone came through as warm and genuine. I do sometimes worry that the Fedi might seem a bit of an "in crowd" to potential newcomers but if they'd heard this segment of the show I reckon they'd feel welcome to join in. npub1u8g5fllhx3gu0grqe7dngruxmgzhsdeu95qezp66qc5ak23zzmtsqg4ejr wordsmith‽ ⁂ Oh wow, nice! I am grabbing it right now. You really do keep banging the drum. npub1u8g5fllhx3gu0grqe7dngruxmgzhsdeu95qezp66qc5ak23zzmtsqg4ejr wordsmith‽ ⁂ all hail the sacred palm, may we be blessed by its neon goodness for evermore! npub1u8g5fllhx3gu0grqe7dngruxmgzhsdeu95qezp66qc5ak23zzmtsqg4ejr wordsmith‽ ⁂ I definitely started daily driving Ubuntu when it was turning into windows. Seeing amazon and ebay adverts sat there on the desktop was gross. npub1u8g5fllhx3gu0grqe7dngruxmgzhsdeu95qezp66qc5ak23zzmtsqg4ejr wordsmith‽ ⁂ I think you've got the answer but finding the least worst time to do it on your terms, sooner rather than later, is probably the best course. Otherwise their dirty tricks will catch you and you may be stuck waiting when you can least afford to. The hacks around it will be circumvented by microsoft. npub1u8g5fllhx3gu0grqe7dngruxmgzhsdeu95qezp66qc5ak23zzmtsqg4ejr wordsmith‽ ⁂ Must stop reading or I'm going to miss the last bus. npub1u8g5fllhx3gu0grqe7dngruxmgzhsdeu95qezp66qc5ak23zzmtsqg4ejr wordsmith‽ ⁂ AntennaPod for Android. Has tons of features but is still very simply to use. npub1u8g5fllhx3gu0grqe7dngruxmgzhsdeu95qezp66qc5ak23zzmtsqg4ejr wordsmith‽ ⁂ Following a tag? npub1u8g5fllhx3gu0grqe7dngruxmgzhsdeu95qezp66qc5ak23zzmtsqg4ejr wordsmith‽ ⁂ I think #PeerTube allows for audio-only uploads and is more suitable than Mastodon, which is aimed at microblogging, although one can upload audio attachments. As for live performances, there's #owncast npub1u8g5fllhx3gu0grqe7dngruxmgzhsdeu95qezp66qc5ak23zzmtsqg4ejr wordsmith‽ ⁂ If you give [@cyborg_writer](https://writing.exchange/@cyborg_writer ) any good ideas they may just run away with them. npub1u8g5fllhx3gu0grqe7dngruxmgzhsdeu95qezp66qc5ak23zzmtsqg4ejr wordsmith‽ ⁂ can probably explain better than I, but from their toots about the #Fedilab app it seems that different types of Fedi account require different API calls and software support, especially since there's enough standards for everyone to make their own. npub1u8g5fllhx3gu0grqe7dngruxmgzhsdeu95qezp66qc5ak23zzmtsqg4ejr wordsmith‽ ⁂ Watching @npub1x7n…rzwr take medical advice on frostbite from someone on ottawa.place: "yup they probably know what they're talking about" npub1u8g5fllhx3gu0grqe7dngruxmgzhsdeu95qezp66qc5ak23zzmtsqg4ejr wordsmith‽ ⁂ Anyone whining in this way isn't yet ready or able to give up their addiction to abusive algorithms. One day, perhaps, they will be. It can be hard work in several respects, but without effort one achieves nothing. npub1u8g5fllhx3gu0grqe7dngruxmgzhsdeu95qezp66qc5ak23zzmtsqg4ejr wordsmith‽ ⁂ https://plush.city/@fluffy npub1u8g5fllhx3gu0grqe7dngruxmgzhsdeu95qezp66qc5ak23zzmtsqg4ejr wordsmith‽ ⁂ My #Fediverse Wrapped would have "Golf Punk Rides Again", "I Am", "Slowyrm", streams by Mel and the Gravitons and...The Jabberwocky. All found through #RadioFreeFedi and all here on the Fedi. npub1u8g5fllhx3gu0grqe7dngruxmgzhsdeu95qezp66qc5ak23zzmtsqg4ejr wordsmith‽ ⁂ Paging @npub1sym…c2sq , get a load of this detailed #AltText! npub1u8g5fllhx3gu0grqe7dngruxmgzhsdeu95qezp66qc5ak23zzmtsqg4ejr wordsmith‽ ⁂ I'm excited about the upcoming #RadioFreeFedi party, especially this #writing event by @npub1drj…ed7m npub1u8g5fllhx3gu0grqe7dngruxmgzhsdeu95qezp66qc5ak23zzmtsqg4ejr wordsmith‽ ⁂ Is the answer one which earns you another strike on the abusive media platforms? npub1u8g5fllhx3gu0grqe7dngruxmgzhsdeu95qezp66qc5ak23zzmtsqg4ejr wordsmith‽ ⁂ Alt text, since it's World Sight Day: npub1u8g5fllhx3gu0grqe7dngruxmgzhsdeu95qezp66qc5ak23zzmtsqg4ejr wordsmith‽ ⁂ I have accrued nothing but social underscore. npub1u8g5fllhx3gu0grqe7dngruxmgzhsdeu95qezp66qc5ak23zzmtsqg4ejr wordsmith‽ ⁂ and the filthy, fifty thou that Mustics® pay you per post. npub1u8g5fllhx3gu0grqe7dngruxmgzhsdeu95qezp66qc5ak23zzmtsqg4ejr wordsmith‽ ⁂ My Fedi history, that nobody asked for, was me posting a photo of my arm on my writing tumblr. It got Female-Presenting Nipple Striked. I packed up my old kit bag and headed here. I do not respond to infantilism with tolerance. npub1u8g5fllhx3gu0grqe7dngruxmgzhsdeu95qezp66qc5ak23zzmtsqg4ejr wordsmith‽ ⁂ I think you just described a mixelfed, which Dan can get to when he's finished with that other thing. npub1u8g5fllhx3gu0grqe7dngruxmgzhsdeu95qezp66qc5ak23zzmtsqg4ejr wordsmith‽ ⁂ Sounds reminiscent of '90s video games? npub1u8g5fllhx3gu0grqe7dngruxmgzhsdeu95qezp66qc5ak23zzmtsqg4ejr wordsmith‽ ⁂ I've found many more people to follow thanks to tags rather than boosts; the former are an underrated gem of the Fedi IMO. npub1u8g5fllhx3gu0grqe7dngruxmgzhsdeu95qezp66qc5ak23zzmtsqg4ejr wordsmith‽ ⁂ Hello Fedi stranger. I found your post because I follow the #fediverse tag, demonstrating that tags go far and wide. npub1u8g5fllhx3gu0grqe7dngruxmgzhsdeu95qezp66qc5ak23zzmtsqg4ejr wordsmith‽ ⁂ Beautiful, bravo. Care and precision. npub1u8g5fllhx3gu0grqe7dngruxmgzhsdeu95qezp66qc5ak23zzmtsqg4ejr wordsmith‽ ⁂ There's an idea. #MerMay adjacent.
