I hope this email doesn’t find you. I hope you manage to evade it for years. The email is ever searching but you are more resourceful.

Fun fact: if you opt out of facial recognition at airport security there's nothing else they do.
With FR: they check your ID and take a pic
Without the FR: they check your ID

Help the line move faster by telling the agent you will be opting put of FR

My neighborhood association maintains one of these (simple spreadsheet) about infrastructure issues in the neighborhood to keep track of and follow up with the city about issues we see (like the big pile of gravel dumped in the bike lane). This is my inspiration.

I'm looking to host a solution to collect and share reports about hazards in my areas roadway.
The way it would work is you share the location, the 311 ticket number, and other information tbd. People could also see the reports that have been posted.

The easy thought is a Google form that goes to a publicly shared spreadsheet... But if I wanted a lil more polish and self hosting are there software/frameworks that might work?

Inspired by a presentation today by Bike Law GA which noted that the city/county/contractor/etc. Can often be sued successfully for damages if you're injured due to hazardous conditions if they actually knew about the issue. (Or should have known but that gets dicier).

@sam and anyone else. you've wrestled with payment processing before. For SOPO bike coop I want to make a setup where someone can tap their card and it charges them $5 (or other preset).

Solutions exist but all require monthly subscription or rental.

I have a project I worked on I want to document because it will solve others people struggling with the same problem. (Automatically pull music recommendations into Lidarr from listenbrainz).

However my work is primarily based on somebody else's code in a lemmy post a year ago - and my guide is essentially just 'how to implement the discussion and code there'.
Which is easily solved - attribute the work there so i'm not claiming it as my own.
The caveat that makes me unsure how to proceed: The post and code has been deleted by the user - I was able to use the wayback machine to learn what i needed from it.

Should I link to the post with deleted content? Should I attribute it as a since deleted post, not linking it? Should I link the wayback version of the post?

I'm leaning torwards the first two options but not sure which to go with. Balancing attribution and respect for others' work/not claiming others work as my own, with their deleted post.

Does anyone have a mastodon client that allows you to queue posts like Tumblr does? I tend to binge mastodon but don't like assaulting others feeds with a blast of toots all at once.

A French University has so much interest from American scientists trying to flee the country that it is now asking other European universities to begin taking them into "scientific exile"

Are there any guides on repinning the practice locks sold by @TOOOL ? I've got too many 5 and 6 pins and not enough 2 and 3s for teaching and am hoping to fix that but struggling to figure out how to do it.
