@HailsandAles at least you got your curry

Hörgeräte sind ja auch Mist. Mein Vater hat übergangsweise Leihgeräte (Signia Motion C&G SP 1IX) bekommen weil seine eigenen Hörgeräte grad repariert werden. Und jetzt bimmeln diese Ersatzgeräte alle 2 Minuten weil die wohl eingestellte Testphase vorbei ist. Der Hörgeräteakustiker ist aber seit heute im Urlaub. Was macht man da? Kenne ich einen Hörgeräteakustiker im Weserbergland der das resetten kann oder den Trick kennt wie man das selbst macht?

Gerne boosten.

📲 question I have for an upcoming blog post: do you use your phone to write or publish blog posts yourself? what's that like, if you do?

You don't need air conditioning for this. It reflects the sun, doesn't absorb it. So it actually helps. But I still want AC!

@stml
Oh yeah... You'd basically need the design to outcompete zipper tents. Not impossible, but

You can already import and export filters, go to your server's website and then Preferences > Import & Export > Export, click on "Filters" to export it as a file.

To import go to Preferences > Import & Export > Import and choose "Filters" from the import type, then browse and select the file, then upload.

If you're on mobile you may need to click ☰ to see some of these options.

📖 The Gods of New York by Jonathan Mahler (⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️) #history #nonfiction

A sweeping chronicle of four years in 1980s New York, a crucible that would transform the city and leave it more divided than ever—a rollicking, real-life Bonfire of the Vanities featuring larger-than-life personalities of Donald Trump, Spike Lee, Ed Koch, Al Sharpton, Rudy Giuliani, and countless others New York City...

@ada

You could block particular topics by using filters of keywords on those topics, but as far as I know there are no keywords which cover all news stories about everything.

@ada

I think that would be difficult because there's very little that all news links have in common.

It could even be difficult to define a news link, as so many blogs etc discuss the news too.

@Unknowable

I think it's impossible as no one knows how many servers are out there, as anyone can set one up.

For what it's worth, there's a project at @greenfediverse which is listing servers that use renewable energy.

(Also, in case anyone's wondering, the Fediverse doesn't use blockchain or AI or anything like that.)

@gl33p

Just to check, are you sure these are impersonating accounts and not just the same account displayed via a different server?

Only asking as there have been some cases in the past where people thought it was an impersonation but it turned out to be their own account.

@ada

Do you mean people making posts that have news links in them, or people boosting posts from news accounts?

If it's boosts, you can hide people's boosts without blocking them completely (more info: https://fedi.tips/blocking-and-muting-on-the-fediverse/#JustBoosts ).

@joshua

First thing to do is check their profile to see if they have any preferences about being contacted (or not contacted).

If they have a link to a personal website in the profile, it's worth clicking on that and seeing if it has a contact page.

If there's nothing about this in their profiles and they don't have a contact page, you can try sending a private message by using the mention-only post.
