HELP: looking for sources on fascist aesthetics. Why fascists (Nazi Germany, other fascist countries, and current fascist movements) like minimalism, Ancient Greek and Roman sculpture and architecture, and “elegant” beauty.

And why they banned the kinds of art they banned.

Sending this question into the mastodon void:

Has anyone ever used a sun lamp/light therapy lamp at home? And if so, did you find it helpful to your sleep quality/circadian rhythm?

I love Yazi, however I find I don't use it all the time because I can't seem to figure out how to open images, PDFs, etc. with the default associated application. For example images and PDFs won't open. I can't find an error message.

What am I not understanding?

What does “no bars” warning mean on the Andre 3000 album?

Is it possible to add a live feed of another instance somewhere? - Works great for the home instance, but it seems like a pain to surf or keep up with other instances.

That said, I might just miss something.

I really like Paint.net on #Windows and was hoping to find a #Linux alternative to the program.

#Gimp is overkill for my needs.

I stumbled across #Pinta and so far it looks great and seems to be a #FOSS copy of Paint.net.

I'm still curious though. Are there any other similar programs that I should check out?

Alright Fedi friends - I have a question for you:

When you say you’re “researching”, what exactly do you do?

Christ, so money got taken out of the account for something we didn't see coming and now the money we had set aside to get us to the grocery store and back is gone.

I hate doing this, I really really hate doing this, but we have no way to come up with money between now and the first and we need groceries. Transportation expenses kill us every month and now we don't even have enough for this much.

Would anyone be able to help? We would need about 25 to 30 dollars round trip, probably 30 just to be on the safe. It's totally fine if not. I don't ever make a thing out of doing this but when things get bad, sometimes you godda ask for help.

My Cashapp is $EmmyPawprints

Could even send the money back to you come the first, or two days before as my bank pays me early.

Thanks in advanced.

Is it really possible to move a whole @matrix space into a new server? It's not clear even in this document: https://www2.matrix.org/docs/communities/switching-providers/#picking-a-new-provider

but maybe I'm just tired🥱 it says it is possible but I can't find how

iPhone folks, what might prevent a messaging app like WhatsApp from receiving messages in a timely fashion? SMS and other apps go right through, WhatsApp and Instagram take ages.

WiFi or cellular data doesn't make a difference. It's not the phone-wide focus or low battery modes.

My Orbi setup is showing its age, I need recommendations for a replacement.

Must Haves:

Mesh Wifi: The router is in the basement of the two story townhome, I need wifi on all three floors.

Access Point/non-router mode: I already have a decent router/FW, I just need WiFi

Nice to Haves:

Different SSIDs: Guest/IOT/Primary for various clients

Support VLAN tagging for SSIDs: Keep those clients Layer 3 Isolated

I've been playing around with for music and it works great. A big miss however is the lack of support for .m3u playlist files. Apparently, Jellyfin can neither read these files and add the tracks they list to the play queue, nor can it "import" them and create its own corresponding playlist files (.xml). Am I missing something? Is there a plugin to enable this functionality?

Going through a box of my late grandfathers belongings from the Second World War. 📦

There’s a lot of good stuff here with a lot of history behind it. 🤓

But does anyone have any knowledge of what these daggers are? Specifically the silver one. 🗡️

There’s something inscribed on the blade. I’m not sure what.

#History #WorldWarII #WorldWar2 #WW2 #WWII #Military #AskFedi #AskMastodon #Knives #Daggers

A dagger with a black handle.
Inscriptions on the silver blade.

I'm really tired of opening up my Fedi software of choice to find 100 notifications about some conversation I posted a smiley face in or something but someone started an argument and now I'm tagged in literally every single following "note".

Why do we do this? Why does Fedi software automatically tag literally everyone (much less anyone at all) in a reply?

If I directly reply to someone, they get a notification. If I want to tag someone else involved in the convo, it's very easy to do that manually.

Why? Just why?

Do any of you knowledgeable people have a favourite WordPress theme that is:

  1. Clean and crisp in appearance.
  2. Has a white background with black text as the default.
  3. Has a sidebar for widgets.
  4. Is still updated and supported.

Edit: Suggestions so far:
Bitácora https://wordpress.com/theme/bitacora

Kadence https://www.kadencewp.com

Libra 2 https://wordpress.com/theme/libre-2
