Since upgrading to #iOS 11.4, my iPhone SE’s battery has been discharging at an alarming rate. I lost 50% battery overnight. The battery eon’t last more than a day.
Before 11.4, I was recharging every 2-3 days.
It’s been 7 days since I upgraded. Anyone else experiencing such battery drain? I did the usual reboot dance, to no avail.
Unpopular opinion:
I don't think we should make free and federated replacements for *every* proprietary social media site, just because we can. It's not a no-brainer.
Yes, we would get rid of corporate surveillance, but a free and federated version of site X can still be highly addictive and distracting, plus enabling all sorts of abuse if not designed properly.
I don't want to curb your enthusiasm, but please give this some more thought before jumping on the bandwagon.
Someone stole my bike while at the grocery store tonight. It’s not that it’s expensive or that I can’t buy a new one… I’m just bummed that I won’t be able to train for the next few days. Sigh…

I saw Avengers: Infinity War tonight. Really enjoyed the movie. Thanos is a great character. He’ll be my next inspiration for the vilain in a future D&D campaign.
If you like the Marvel Cinematic Universe, go see it!
This is a thread about computers.
I have a lot to say.
I might not be able to finish right now.
I'm going to post unlisted.
Noëlle the 8-Bit🏳️🌈🎄
Full-stack developer, been working with the web since the 90s. #HTML, #CSS, #Javascript, #Python, #PHP, enough #Ruby and #Node to get myself into trouble. #LAMP is fine but other stacks are fine too; I'm a quick learner.
Any position is okay; I've been out of the office for a while and I''d be happy doing just about anything as long as the income is stable.

#lazyweb -- Does anyone know the name of the short story (I *think* it is by Asimov) where humans test a time travel device by sending something small back into the prehistoric? They think it won't cause any bad effects and while they are talking the timeline changes them into completely mutated versions (tentacles!). Anyone?
Posting this publicly so feel free to Boost/Relay.
I'm looking for contracting opportunities, and would like to know if the fediverse has any.
My skills: I am familiar with GTK, the Web, Python, Git, free software in general, and much more. I have a BSc, Computer Science. enjoy efficiently computing answers to problems, as well as designing UIs that are instantly familiar to your users. And if pressed I can do *some* graphic design (e.g. my avatar here/Odysseus's app icon).
Please DM me if interested.
And please boost this toot!
Mastodon, j'ai besoin d'aide.
Je suis étudiant à Sciences-Po.
En 3A je vais partir à l'étranger. Je vais aller à Tokyo, au Japon.
Je suis étudiant handicapé. Je suis diabétique et autiste.
Je suis un traitement et je ne suis pas autonome.
Il est INENVISAGEABLE que je vive seul au Japon.
J'ai donc besoin de trouver une famille d'accueil à Tokyo, si possible près de l'université de Waesda (mais je peux prendre le métro).
J'ai un budget de 1 100€/mois.
Des conseils/contacts ?
Boost SVP ;;.

🌻 Appel à témoignages 🌻
Si tu es designer et que tu aimes le libre, j'aimerai beaucoup discuter avec toi (et si tu n'as pas beaucoup de temps je m'arrangerai pour faire court !). Je voudrai regrouper des témoignages, plus j'en aurai mieux se sera 
Si tu n'es pas designer, j'apprécie les boosts ! 
- Tout ça pour préparer ma mini-conf à Mixit sur le design et les logiciels libres ! -
After playing with #Mastodon for a day in the browser, I must say aside from a few things, it is pretty accessible to screen reader users. It also has a nice set of keyboard shortcuts that make navigation easier when the screen reader is in app (or focus or forms) mode.
I filed two issues against it today having to do with keyboard-operating the visibility menu and finding out which item of that is actually active/checked. Let's see how this fares!
So FLOSS.social is open for a "soft launch" this week. As user 0, I suppose I am an "admin", although @hugo is officially hosting the instance, which lives at OVH data centers.
If any #FLOSS / #OpenSource folks are interested in switching over to this instance, feel free to reach out for help. Latest versions of #Mastodon make it easier to list your "forwarding address".
Oh, and please be kind to each other. We have a code of conduct. 🙂
