Amaaaaazing! The latest update to @andypiper's The Indie Beat Radio player for Linux means it now works on my machine! (It hadn't previously.)

With album artwork and links back to the artist's page, this is utterly fantastic!

Read about the app and where to get it here: https://andypiper.co.uk/2025/01/25/the-indie-beat-on-your-linux-desktop/

Hey @FediTips,

After watching a video your sister account posted yesterday I realised it’s possible to pick up where you last left off on Mastodon. Can you confirm if this is for the simple view only and not for the Advanced layout?

-I only ever use the advanced layout and I can’t find a way to pick up from where I last left off in any of my columns. I have to scroll down each column every time I come back to Mastodon if I want to pick up from where I last left it.

Any advice or confirmation appreciated.

Cheers,
Sam

Six months on it’s nice to have this reminder of why I love @pfefferle, #ActivityPub, @Mastodon, @WordPress and #TheFediverse in general ⬇️

Hi @FediTips … Do you know why Mastodon removes the string on a url and if there’s any way around that?

When I post the link at the bottom of this post, this part appears to be removed by Mastodon: ?ebs-path=%2Fbooks%2Fm%2Fis%3A9781899233229%2Fflatpack-democracy-peter-macfadyen&ebs-authors=Peter+Macfadyen&ebs-cover=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.ethicalbooksearch.com%2Fimg%3Furl%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fblackwells.co.uk%252Fjacket%252Fs%252F9781899233229.jpg%26sig%3D64499c1796276da158cd8cf6e2d2f132d756ac70d34f5c224ad108e8faa0ee0b%26width%3D150&ebs-title=Flatpack+Democracy

It's an essential part of the link for it to direct properly.

I’m only just catching up now on last week’s #Decentered podcast (@decentered).

Very first thought is what a lovely voice @pfefferle has and that surely @deadsuperhero missed a trick in not having his introductory words backed by the instrumental of Giorgio by Moroder! 😂 🤖 🎹

I should really have done this a few years ago …😬… but here is my #introduction toot.

I love #music 🎶 - listening and making. I love #dancing 🕺, #cooking 👨‍🍳, #gardening 👨‍🌾, #walking 🦮, #football ⚽️, #cricket 🏏 and #snooker! ⚫️🟣🔵🟤🟢🟡🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴⚪️

I curate music by Fedi artists over at @mixtape / https://nham.co.uk. I’m in a band: https://secretde.al

I’m from #Gloucestershire in the UK but have lived all over. I speak English and Spanish. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇪🇸

📲 Despite having a father who used to deal in mobile phones (meaning I grew up always having the latest model) I have not owned a mobile phone for over a decade now … and it’s pure bliss! 🤗

I’ve done a fair few bits and bobs in my time but for the last 10+ years my main project has been Ethical Revolution. ✌️

You can read a bit more about my background and some of those other bits and bobs I’ve done via the following links. 👇

Hi @delta
If somebody installs Delta Chat and uses a Gmail address, but has ‘Prefer End to End Encryption’ checked in settings, would my metadata land on Google’s servers when I send them a message?
