Heather crab spider (Thomisus onustus) for #thomisodthursday
~
This spider was at the top of my wish list on the macro trip with @macrochambers @macro_by_rory @bug_ninja @mc_macro_photography @weemadbeasties @pauls_natural_world
~
I truly believe without Luke’s knowledge, locations and fieldcraft, the trip wouldn’t have been anywhere near as successful, so thank you Luke. I’ve barely had time to process any of my photos from the trip yet, so I know I’m very late to the party. Go and check out the amazing images that the rest of the group have already posted!
~
Taken with Canon R7, Canon MP-E 65mm f2.8 1-5x Macro, Canon Speedlite 430EX III-RT with custom diffuser.

I'm subscribed to specialized_instances, I think it's a great idea for a community, although I expect it to be more relevant on the long term.

Thanks!

I think you have duplicated this one with the new date format.

Then I will include them on my watchlist and will try to post at least from time to time.

As I said in other comments, thanks to all of you who create and moderate communities. For now, I'm just trying to generate content, which I know is the easier part.

You got me! I had a few posts on r/decopunk (now private) and I tend to mix both of them.

Note that I said: "you look a bit more organized than small subs", and that's not a very high bar, hehe :P.

More seriously, I thought you were related to reddit's Imaginary Network, which is huge and with some big power-users.

If that's not the case, then more props to you!

posting so much content can sometimes be a bit tiring.

Agree. What I'm doing (in case it helps) is, instead of going for quantity, go for quality and try to focus the efforts on a few communities that interest me. That way I am posting about things I really like in just a few places and it doesn't become a chore.

I'm trying to get other people on my community to do it too but it's not that easy.

Indeed, it's HARD. This is one of the reasons I haven't created a community yet, it seems too much effort-VS-results-ratio. I know I'm taking the easy path because I'm not so invested in any specific community. So thanks to all of you who create and moderate all the communities.

:facepalm: (Fixed)

I need to focus more when typing :)

Some very good answers in this post: I'm aware of kbin, mastodon, and lemmy. Are there any other federated applications out there? : nostupidquestions, some random copy&paste:

Here's a list of 130: https://the-federation.info/#projects

this diagram

From What other kinds of servers are on the Fediverse? | Fedi.Tips – An Unofficial Guide to Mastodon and the Fediverse:

As well as Mastodon, there are lots of other server types on the Fediverse, for example:

  • BookWyrm – A social reading platform, an alternative to Amazon’s GoodReads

  • Friendica – A general social network with no character limits, sort of like Facebook used to be on its older interface

  • Funkwhale – Music and podcast storage and sharing

  • Kbin – Link aggregation and discussion, sort of like Reddit

  • Mobilizon – Event organisation, the Fedi’s alternative to Facebook Events

  • OwnCast – Video livestreaming with a chat window at the side, very much in the style of Twitch

  • PeerTube – YouTube-style video sharing site which uses P2P technology to allow even small servers to have videos go viral, as the more people view a video the more bandwidth it gets

  • PixelFed – Photo sharing site, similar in style to Instagram and Tumblr

  • WordPress – Independently hosted WordPress blogs can be turned into Fediverse servers using a special plugin

  • WriteFreely – Minimalist blog where focus is on the text, like a calmer version of Medium

…and that’s just some of them! If you’re a techy person, you can see more comprehensive lists of server types at FediDB and delightful fediverse apps.

What I'm getting is that using "to me" as the default is a safe option and the use of "for me" is more nuanced (... and I don't understand in which sense).

Thanks!

Philosopher David Chalmers and neuroscientist Christof Koch made a bet in 1998 on a breakthrough in consciousness research within 25 years. Now the bet is settled – thanks to the journalist Per Snaprud, neuroscience editor at the Swedish popular science magazine Forskning & Framsteg. Here's a conversation that was held between the three at New York university on June 24:th 2023.

The photographs of Cristóbal Hara show an undiscovered Spain--far from the beautiful beaches and urban centers--full of completely normal people and animals (and all their peculiarities) that reveal the extraordinary in the ordinary. At processions and markets, funerals and bullfights, or simply on the street, Hara positions his camera to extract unexpected details from the hustle and bustle of the provinces.

Hi, I'm an old webdev who is rusty in CSS; I learn about calc() recently and never really learnt display: flex properly.

I made some webs with a responsive menu layout (relevant CSS code posted on bottom). I tried using flex but I still had to do one ugly hack: I have the menu heights for the different resolutions hardcoded and I have to update them manually every time a new chapter is added. It's not a big deal, but I would like to know if there is a proper way to do this.

Some alternatives I've thought about:

  • The new round(), but it's too new and not supported by most browsers.
  • JavaScript

... but I feel like there must be a clean CSS-only way to achieve this.

Thanks!

Relevant CSS code (link to full stylesheet in case I missed something).
