@phillycodehound@podcasting.chat I agree. Sponsorship spot after intro. I have no plans of doing this professionally so I won't have ada. But as long as they're topical, and not too many, absolutely.

Good day all! Upcoming episode of Fireside Fedi!

The #livestream will be on: stream.firesidefedi.live

@Longplay_Games@mastodon.gamedev.place ​I apparently have such a bad eye for art that I can't tell.

Just found out about storyden.org/ .

I joined their Discord to ask them to consider #ActivityPub support. They haven't, they don't know much about it, but I'm sure someone could help if they're interesetd.

Barney dropped a line to me though that 100% resonates with us on the #Fediverse and what they're going for.

"Knowledge gardens, not content farms."

ONE OF US! 😁

@taylorlorenz@mastodon.social @utopiarte@tupambae.org ​what if I told you that you could host your own Peertube and have YouTube pull your videos from your channel so you don't have to do double the work?

@taylorlorenz@mastodon.social it is yours. It is noy up to some billionaire that sits on his golden throne to dictate to you what you and your community need.

It's your culture, your morales, your ethics. Not some pedophiles apprentice to tell you how to live.​

Join us LIVE for more amazing art of Jen's baking stream on #owncast

Head of the Late Night Linux Family of podcasts. I mostly get paid to talk to my friends about computers which is nice. It seems I was radicalised by basic decency.

So don't miss it!

Bonfire doesn't seem to handle NodeBB well, YET. There is a bug in that was started this year. Looks like Julian was just on it last week. I tossed my hat in to see I need this fixed. But that's awesome. That's EXACTLY the use case for this. So excited. Great job man. 😊

@blenderdumbass@mastodon.online ​I'm on Bonfire. Maybe it's not sending something properly? Or maybe something with Mastodon? I only know English, so ... idk. 😁

Just found out about ESG funds.

Environmental, Social and Governance Funds.

Will they be perfect? NOPE. Will I lose out on tons of money? Probably.

Will I live knowing I attempted and have a bit more of a clear conscience? ABSOLUTELY!

@not_a_label@toot.lgbt ​Honestly, I don't care about my retirement. I've thought for a long time there was massive fraud in the market. How can Tesla lose what was it like 75% of it's profits and it's stock go up the next day?

So I'm fine taking the hit, as I've never expected to be able to retire, even though I save.

But I just spoke to my banker who talked to me about ESG Funds. Environmental, Social and Governance funds. They're not going to be perfect, but they'll be better than right now.

@chebra@mstdn.io ​wow really?!? Yeesh.

@liaizon@social.wake.st thank you for catching and filing that bug!

@janWilejan@snug.moe thank you!​
