Does this tool exist (ideally as FOSS):
- you upload a series of slides / add content
- viewers access a web page
- as you advance the slides/content, the content on the webpage changes automatically
?
So you can present, without the bandwidth of video / screen sharing.

The key to making good coffee is consistency. Perform the same steps in the same order the same way every time. Not for flavor, but so you can make coffee before you've had coffee.
Hey #tusky users, any idea why I can't see public posts of profiles that I follow? I can see them as an anonymous user on the web, but not in the app. This has been bugging me for a while and there seems to be nothing on the issue queue (or my search-fu is low).

If you want to know why there is so much resentment towards Canonical and Ubuntu in the rest of the Linux world, this is a good example. https://www.happyassassin.net/posts/2016/06/16/on-snappy-and-flatpak-business-as-usual-in-the-canonical-propaganda-department/
And I've only discovered this TRIM "issue" only because I have been researching BTRFS subvolumes as an alternative to LVM volumes and landed on the question of "how does one deal with SWAP on BTRFS?"
Oh boy, what a ride.
It turns out, I haven't been running #TRIM on my SSDs for the last 12y or so. I've been using #EXT4 on #LVM on #LUKS everywhere and systemd was reporting that fstrim.timer is running, and I never bothered to check if it was actually doing something.
It turns out that the dm-crypt guys have made TRIM an opt-in feature, because empty space will no longer be random, more on:

#Android 12 allows alternate app stores to update apps in the background without user interaction. Guess it is a good news for #fdroid and others

Weird - writing a Paypal scams article for a client (how to avoid them, not how to do them) and using Google docs because that’s what the client uses, when suddenly…
This item has been flagged as inappropriate and can no longer be shared
Which is odd.
I’m guessing Google scans the documents for known spammy /scammy phrases?
Yet another reason I don’t use Google unless I have to…

There's a small chance this is one of the biggest findings in scientific history: turns out there's things that look surprisingly like tiny fungal puffballs on Mars, and they seem to grow.
Also, there seems to be something that looks like fungal growths on on rovers. Which as the authors' point out, could easily be contamination from earth. Even that would be a finding with huge implications: life growing on another planet. Sure, life we introduced. But still!

I have just organized part of my bookmarks on criticism of crypto currencies (mostly environmental, but not only).
Help yourself for basic FUD !
Darn, the delete and re-draft feature isn't as handy as the edit feature on most I.M. apps; They have spoiled us.
Well, I'll have to live with the spelling errors. Hello, #fediverse!

@rysiek @nintendh03s It's interesting to also note that #CloudFlare claims in their FaQ that "you don't have to" trust them: https://web.archive.org/web/20180926003344/https://blog.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-onion-service/#why-should-i-trust-cloudflare Yet they see all HTTPS traffic in the clear. So the fact that they lie about the need for trust is in itself cause for distrust.
