A question for the photo enthusiasts here: What do you do with your digital pictures? Just send them off into the ether on some platform or another, or do you print them out, frame them, or regularly look at your collection on an end device of your choice? #question #photography

What do think these birds are doing?

They were perched in the high branches of these tall trees, many of them with their wings spread wide. There is no sun for them to be getting any warmth from, just overcast daylight. There were several doing this, flying off again and then coming back to do the same again. I think they are crows or ravens, though at first I thought they might be bald eagles.

Any ideas anyone?

#Question

One time in college, a couple friends of mine got into a discussion over whether it was “take a shower” or “grab a shower.” The grab guy stated that taking something meant you … took it with you, something you don’t do with a shower. But the take guy countered asking if you “take a [crude word for Number 2]” or “grab a [crude word for Number 2]?”
As far as I know, it was never resolved. You’re thoughts?

Fedi, do you tip on self-service/ready-to-go meals?

Ex. Prepared wraps, sandwiches, salad bowls or similar; drinks, chips or snacks, cookies, etc. Where you simply grab what you want and go to pay at the staffed cash.

#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?

#ink #art #question

Would you recommend any additives to emulsify thin ink, or dilute-ink, dilute-acrylic paint, etc.?

That the ink might flow well on a dip pen nib, for instance.
(To turn thin watery pigment in to an emulsion which beads properly upon the nib.)

Would you suggest shellac, gum arabic, some kind of liquid gloss acrylic medium, or something else?

Thanks!

I did find a term, that describes that attraction, (of watching the opposite gender romanticizing) but not the person itself. Apparently a terms for that doesn't exist for an individual, and never been thought of?

are you kidding me Google? How have we not gotten to this definition in the English dictionary yet in 2025? what in the.

but anyways the term for that specific type of attraction, is #heteroromanticfantasies

Did I literally just crack the English dictionary?

#lgbtq #question #google #wtf ???

I had to use the #ai result because there were no specific results for my terms.

Who here feels like they are subjectively too NICE? Or that it might be better for themselves to be less NICE? 🙂
