There is no better kind of post on the internet than "I had a lot of trouble figuring out how to do this task, so I wrote it down here as a reference for both for my future self and for others."

(This post inspired by https://felix11h.github.io/blog/install-paprika-wine )

y'all! Julia Evans (@b0rk@twitter.com) is really neat and she made all her comics available online recently! they're very educational and you should check them out if you like to do the computering

The final result is:

* R = 25%
* G = 40%
* B = 36%

As expected (and described in the thread), the gamut is pretty low (ie. not an immense possibility of colours, due to fact that masto polls options sum is 100)

0..100 to 0..255 (in gimp) give:

* R = 63.8 (64)
* G = 102
* B = 91.8 (92)

HTML: #40665C

It's a soft, dark, bluish green!

It's complimentary color is #66404A (102,64,74)

Its triadic scheme:
#5C4066 (92,64,102) and #665C40 (102,92,64)

We could call it "Fédi-vert"?

Will a majority of respondents to this poll correctly guess the majority response to this poll?

My research application has been approved.

I'm looking for open educators to participate in a research study! I hope you will take some time to share your thoughts. This study has been approved by the U of Calgary Conjoint Faculties Research Ethics Board (REB20-1113).

I hope some folks from here might consider contributing as my initial questions emerged from here 🙏​

Is there a good directory of #coops that offer services alternative to mainstream ones, especially for devs? E.g. alternatives to GitHub, website hosting, email hosting, cloud storage, etc

Remember when a Google #search used to lead you somewhere?

Now it increasingly just keeps you on Google. In fact, Google results take up 62.6% of the first screen of search results in a sample of 15,000 searches.

#Google is building a walled garden that encompasses some of the most accessed information on the internet with no recourse for businesses who are suddenly finding themselves on the wrong side, cut off from their users.

Seen elsewhere in a locked account I can't reference:

"Why don't spreadsheets have built-in debuggers? Because if spreadsheets had debuggers we'd have to admit that the bulk of business software development is performed by underpaid women."

I wrote a guest blog post for #alt upcoming #oer20 conference where I mention Mastodon, PLN's, and the tension being an open educator in an age of surveillance
