Hoi @support! Ik ben bezig met #Fedilab uitproberen, en kreeg deze waarschuwing toen ik bezig was hashtag-timelines in te stellen. Dat is hoe ik #Mastodon namelijk het liefst gebruik, zie m'n blogpost hier: bammerlaan.nl/posts/Hashtags-gebrui… […] [Original post on mastodon.nl]
Screenshot van de Mastodon-app Fedilab in donkere modus op een smartphone. Over het scherm ligt een menuvenster met opties zoals 'Change column name', 'Media only', 'Show NSFW', 'Any of these', 'All of these' en 'None of these'. Onderaan het scherm staat een oranje waarschuwingsmelding met de tekst: 'Most servers limit hashtag timelines to 4 hashtags. Some may be ignored.'Er is een pop-upvenster te zien over het menu 'Change column name'. In de pop-up staat een tekstveld waarin de woorden '...don mastodon pixelfed loops feditips lem...' getypt zijn, met rechtsonder de knop 'Validate'.

Poeh, ik heb niet vaak de (drinkende, rokende) jeugd zo rijkelijk met kanker, godver en jezus horen vloeken als hier in het stichtelijke Kampen. Wèl een leuk koor, #MagnaMusica. Volgend weekend een concert waar ik als professional aan meezing. Onorthodoxe […] [Original post on mastodon.nl]

Afgelopen week begonnen aan een cursus van de #modevakschool. Maar oef, dit soort zinnen moet ik echt vijf keer lezen voordat ik het snap. 😵‍💫 Ik moet denk ik ook gewoon nog wennen aan de termen... #Sewing #Danckaerts
Een foto van een gedrukte Nederlandse tekst over patroontekenen met de titel 'Breedte coupe bij ronding taille-heup'. Eén zin is geel gemarkeerd: 'De heupcoupe is de helft van het verschil tussen de halve wijdte bij de tweede heup en de halve wijdte bij de taille:'. Onder de markering staan berekeningen en aanvullende instructies over de heupronding van de zijnaad.

From: www.theatlantic.com/magazine/2026/0… #Musk #Billionaires #empathy #TheAtlantic
Text from an article. It reads as follows: 

Since the 2024 election, there has been a philosophical shift on the right, and especially among tech billionaires, to vilify the idea of empathy. Musk has called empathy “the fundamental weakness of Western civilization.” He sees it as a weapon wielded by liberal society to bludgeon otherwise rational people into operating against their own interests. Empathy is something done to you by others—a vulnerability they exploit, a back door through which they gain access to your resources and will. This rejection of empathy as a human value gives cover to people who don’t want to feel anything at all. If empathy is the problem, then lack of it isn’t a deficiency—it’s an advantage.

I finished the sashiko patch this morning... Because I wanted to wear these! Now to see where the next tear develops 🙈 @sewing@lemmy.world @sewing@fedigroups.social #sashiko #visibleMending #embroidery #upcycling #diy #sewing #mending #crafts #fiberarts
A full-length photo of a pair of dark, heavily-worn jeans repaired and embellished with numerous patches of white sashiko embroidery. The stitching covers areas on both pant legs, the crotch, and one coin pocket, featuring patterns like geometric stars, circles, diamonds, and mountain-like shapes.Close-up view of dark denim fabric being mended using white thread. The stitching features various sashiko-style patterns, including a square grid on the right, diamond and chevron patterns in the center, and a floral or geometric star pattern on the left. A length of white thread is still attached to the needle, lying over the stitching.Close-up of the outer seam of a dark denim pant leg. The area is heavily embroidered with white thread in sashiko patterns. The stitching is layered, showing a pattern that resembles a stack of mountains or chevrons below a cluster of starburst shapes, which is then topped by a delicate geometric border pattern.A close-up of the back side of a large mended area on dark denim jeans. The repair uses two fabric patches: a top patch of torn red, white, and blue plaid flannel, and a lower patch of light gray fabric. Both patches are secured with thick white running stitches in a randomized, lattice-like pattern, deliberately creating a rugged, visible mending aesthetic.

A close-up photograph of a pair of dark gray pants, which are lying on a surface covered with a blue and green tartan fabric. The pants have three patches roughly sewn onto them in preparation for sashiko mending. The central patch is a rectangular piece of red, white, and blue plaid flannel, not sewn on yet. To the left is a smaller, irregularly shaped gray patch with an open, net-like or crochet texture. To the right is a small patch of blue and white pinstripe fabric.The front of the pants. A worn-out part of denim is visible in the middle, surrounded by already-mended sashiko parts above and below it.

De tweede, rode tekstballon bevat een langer antwoord. Hierin wordt gevraagd of andere online converters zijn geprobeerd, inclusief een directe link. Ook wordt vermeld dat de video voor Mastodon maximaal 40 MB mag zijn en dat dit via 'settings' is in te stellen. Als laatste suggestie wordt genoemd dat men een account op Peertube kan maken.

Mijn bericht aan DeGoedeZaak. De tekst luidt als volgt:

Beste team van DeGoedeZaak,

Ik zag jullie oproep om de video voor hoopzaaiers.nl te delen, maar het viel me op dat alle links naar sociale media die jullie delen in handen is van grote tech-bedrijven. 

Ik weet dat jullie op de hoogte zijn van Mastodon en de Fediverse, wat in mijn optiek het enige ethische alternatief is op deze bedrijven. Jullie hebben nota bene bijgedragen aan makesocialssocialagain.nl waarmee jullie mensen ook actief hebben opgeroepen andere sociale media zoals Mastodon te gebruiken. Waarom delen jullie dan in de oproep niet een link naar jullie Mastodon-pagina? Op deze manier worden mensen nooit bewuster van dit goede alternatief.

Met hartelijke groet,

Sebastiaan.

My favourite hammock for on our balcony broke and landed me on my ass, last month. Just got around to fixing it with parts of a new lashing strap that's rated for much more weight than me. The hammock itself is still in good shape, so this should last me some […] [Original post on mastodon.nl]
A bright green fabric hammock suspended on a balcony. The hammock is attached to a metal frame at the top, which is then secured to the balcony structure with straps. A black cat is visible lying on the balcony floor near the hammock, and various outdoor furniture and household items are in the background.Close-up of two white fabric straps with purple stitching where they are looped and attached to carabiners, with a brown strap hanging down in the center. In the background, out of focus, is a light-colored outdoor shade and a glimpse of green trees.The old strap, with a fix I attempted earlier. Of course, the strap was too short and resulted in a lopsided hammock. A coiled grey or tan strap with a small, dark fabric loop at one end, resting on a pillow with a red and grey plaid pattern.

@gme Well, I suppose there's always nuance. Tolerating the intolerant can similarly lead to problems, and sometimes "pitchforks" are necessary there, I'd imagine. You need a group around you to cause change, after all. It always reminds me of this comic, which […] [Original post on mastodon.nl]

Time to show off some more #Goodyearwelt shoes. It'd be nice if the #Fediverse could have a more active #boots community, as #Reddit had. These desert boots are from a German brand producing #eco shoes: #EKN. The leather is nice and thick and the soles are comfy […] [Original post on mastodon.nl]

Just went to the DIY shop and bought this square aluminium piece. Sawed off two smaller pieces (🥵), drilled holes in everything (lots of work with this thick piece of steel that makes up the L-triangle) and shoved a nuts & bolts solution in there. Had to saw off […] [Original post on mastodon.nl]

#askfedi For the #DIY enthusiasts on the #Fediverse: I have this cheap metal plate I bought to affix to the front carrier of my #Brompton. The metal "arms" keep bending outwards though, from the weight of my suitcase. This makes it slide down, and the metal "lip" […] [Original post on mastodon.nl]
The back of a metal plate with two arms sticking out on the sides, to slide onto a Brompton's front carrier. They are bent outwards, meaning they don't sit flush against the front carrier's surface anymore.A photo of a Brompton's front carrier.

As a little #DIY project I made this construction for the front carrier of my #Brompton. It holds my suitcase, made by #Lat56, where the suit is folded up around the hanger. When I put the shoulder straps around my handlebars, I can even add my backpack on top […] [Original post on mastodon.nl]
