Friend of mine wants to have a sex date with a guy she doesn't know (yet).

Perhaps some safety precautions should be met? Because in the past some friends of mine shared their live location, had me call them after a time, ...
What do you recommend?

I want to collect some tips / opinions / views.

Niche request. But have any of you got a photo of a goat perched on a capybara? #AskFedi #AskMastodon

Is there a way to get access to my purchased #AppleMusic albums ?

How is it domestic terrorism when #elonmusk isn’t an American?

With what's going on in America, where does free speech, right to protest, and academic freedom truly exist?

Fedi, I know you are begging to answer this. What's a good #Linux distro for a retired non-techie who's only ever used windows?

I was just talking to my neighbor and he said he tried to upgrade from #windows 10 to windows 11 but got some message that his computer might not be compatible and might "lose services." If he can't upgrade to 11, I pitched him Linux as an alternative to buying a new computer because apparently support ends in October.

Anyone here upgraded thier electric home hot water tank to a heat-pump based unit? What kind of savings have you realized?

I think it's time I ask the fedi hivemind about this...

I am looking for some news outlets about tech and gaming news that avoid politics, don't do clickbait and serve RSS.

I am most interested in both corporate ongoings (so I know what I may need to look out for at work) and noteworthy happenings at major FOSS projects in terms of tech news (but ideally without AI), as well as major game releases and indie projects as well as retro gaming-related news.

#question #askmastodon #askfedi #software #cloudhosting #recommendation

Hello Fediverse, I would like to ask for some recommendations please:

Does a simple and lightweight alternative to google.drive for use on a Win desktop PC exist, based in EU or New Zealand, for upload, update & tracking of shared files?

1) To update files with unchanged public link

2) To see if and when the file was opened through the external link either for reading or for download, to count the uses

Many thanks ^.^

#question to the solo devs: When have you determined that you are a senior software developer?

My last job as an employee ended around autumn 2020. I've been working solo since. I firmly believe, if you develop the skillset and experience, it doesn't matter whether you reached this in a solo environment or team environment.

What's your stance on that subject?

Question to gamedevs: Do you play your own games for fun or only in the context of development?

Whenever I play my own games, I only see the flaws or compare them to better products.

Though I always wanted to also play my own games for fun, not just when I add a new feature, improvement or fix a bug.

How about you?

Seriously tho, what will running a Calibre server do for me?

I buy my digital music, mostly off Bandcamp, but I occasionally want something from a major label. Anyone know where I can buy a download with at least 266kpbs quality, that isn't Amazon or some other tech monolith?

Does anyone know why this is? Here's a post from my other account. When I view it from that account, I can see loads of faves and boosts, but when I view it from this account (I followed my old account just in case it was that), it only shows 7? Does this instance have a lot of others that it defederates from? Or is it some other reason?

Qué usáis en el ordenador para consultar OpenStreetMap? En el móvil uso Organic Maps, pero en el ordenador nunca he encontrado nada tan guay (la página de openstreetmap.com es terrible para buscar sitios y calcular rutas) #askMastodon

I am a weak man.

I haven't had bourbon in more than a month.

My fellow Canadians: what are some good alternatives?

Any new android mastodon apps been popping up lately?
