Vor 4 Jahren haben @fuzzyleapfrog & @astrodicticum begonnen, im 🎙️ Podcast "Das Klima" den ganzen IPCC-Bericht #AR6 zu lesen, damit ihr das nicht selbst machen müsst - und jetzt machen sie mit dem Zweiten Österreichischen Sachstandsbericht #AAR2 zum Klimawandel weiter...

DK141 - Der Zweite Österreichische Sachstandsbericht zum Klimawandel

"Das Klima”, der Podcast zur Wissenschaft hinter der Krise. Wir lesen und erklären den aktuellen Österreichischen Sachstandsbericht zum Klimawandel. In Folge 141 starten wir etwas Neues. Ab jetzt und in den nächsten 9 Folgen werden wir den “Zweiten Österreichischen Sachstandsbericht zum Klimawandel” lesen und besprechen. Denn Österreich mag zwar ein kleines Land sein, aber ist aus Sicht des Klimas erstens durchaus interessant. Und man kann zweitens viel über Klimaforschung und -politik lernen, was auch anderswo in der Welt eine Rolle spielt. Zum Auftakt sprechen wir mit Daniel Huppmann vom IIASA in Laxenburg, einem der Co-Chairs des Projekts, über den Bericht selbst. Warum braucht Österreich einen eigenen Bericht? Wer schreibt ihn und in welchem Auftrag? Was steht da alles drin und wie unterscheidet sich das ganze Prozedere vom globalen Sachstandsbericht des IPCC? Wer den Podcast unterstützen will, kann das gerne tun: https://steadyhq.com/de/dasklima/ und https://www.paypal.me/florianfreistetter.

Addressing climate change is not a “pass/fail” scenario. It is a process of mitigating severity that will happen in our lifetimes.

Saying “it’s over, do whatever you want” is both foolhardy and literally incorrect.

We can always make a difference — and will continue to do so.

The new Harry Potter show is upon us, and while there's debate as to how much JK Rowling is involved in the running of the show, the fact remains: it's her IP. It makes money, she makes money.

If you watch it, if you buy HP merch, if you visit the HP park attractions, if you make others curious to watch it, etc., you are funding this TERF's persecution of trans people.

So, don't.

@neiman since you’ve asked for feedback.

You could add an index on the ‘url’ column to make those queries faster. Your other SELECTs are on ‘account’ which is a primary key so should already be indexed.

The admin functions select all rows from the DB. At some point you may need to page this.

Some might tell you that SQLite should be replaced with another database but I’d argue to keep it unless it is obviously an issue which would likely only come when you have concurrent database writes.

@noodlejetski @neiman unlisted posts don't show on public timelines (local, federated). It is best practice if posting a thread publicly to make only the first post public and the rest unlisted.

@neiman Or even better, instead of resorting to such auxiliary constructs, use services in the Fediverse that can do all this and don't bother people with thread chains

There are enough services in the Fediverse that can do long texts and Mastodon can do it too, if you let it

You can use #Sharkey #IceShriimp #Friendica #Hubzilla #Calckey #Akkoma (if the character limit fits) for something like this and still have all the features of the fediverse.

These services can also do much more than Mastodon.

Look at https://jointhefediverse.net/?lang=en-us
or https://youtu.be/fQ4Xm92vcq8 for Sharkey. the gaming focus at the end is a little too much but you can recognise the basic functions and more.

For example, I use the Fediverse service #Calckey in the Fediverse, have 7,500 characters and a bag full of tools at hand that I don't have to rely on such bridges.

You should choose the software that suits your needs and not adapt your needs to the software. Old rule in fediverse ;)
Unfortunately, we always get a lot of flak for this, because MASTODON 😥

@Armadillosoft sure, even before mastodon allowed it. just like Sharkey, Misskey and IceShrimp.

there are not only likes but also reactions, I see all the pictures that a post has and not like Mastodon, which only shows 4 and simply hides all the others.
I can see which service/software the other person is using to post

The services have a drive folder for all media to use again and again, bookmarks can be sorted into folders and much more

@Armadillosoft I have no planned contributions and have not yet seen any need to inform myself about this

As far as I know, the native services can't do this, but possibly via one of the apps, but I'm not sure.

The character limit starts at 3,500 and can go up to 25,000. Our instance has a setting of 7,500. The admin can set this individually in the backend

https://social.hastily.cc/@neiman/114591328111324234

my instance has a 5k char limit, but I still think the threaded form has a lot of benefits for readability and shareability (if I'm making multiple points they can be nicely split into multiple posts and I can make posts that work by themselves mid-thread and boost them, etc)

it would be great if this had a way to set a custom char limit and even better if it let me split wherever I like (maybe with some magic syntax?). Then I can write out the entire thread and proof read it before posting

That's a very nice tool ! A few quick comments after a quick try:
- It doesn't seem to work on librewolf, the consent checkbox is not shown
- I don't know where images will be put. I'm used to put some in all posts, but it's not clear whether that will be done or everything will be put in the first post only
- On desktop the preview could be on the side instead of under

Thanks a lot for it !

Nice! Glad to see replies is one of your top to-do items.

Is the 500-character limit hardcoded? I know some sites change it.

Would be cool if there wasn't a fixed tiny box to write in. A lot of my posting is done from a tablet, or when I really get going, my PC.

I also frequently forward my blog posts to Mastodon (Android share to fedilab, since WordPress.com is borken). They aren't super-long, but they're frequently > 500 chars if I quote some magazine article.
