Speakers! Gonna talk about talk titles. There's an important rule that tech conference proposers seem to be forgetting these days:
Shorter is better.
Particularly, there's a real addiction to these two part-titles that go something like:
Clever Phrase: Descriptive Phrase
Sometimes it's an mdash, sometimes the descriptive phrase comes first, but it doesn't matter. I'm going to call these CP:DP titles from now on.

It's largely because of the reality that even when American cyclists do obey the road rules, they are not respected by drivers, some of whom will happily run over a cyclist who has the right of way. So many think "if the rules aren't going to protect me, why should I follow them?"
Mind you, American drivers don't follow the rules most of the time, either.

We're into the hottest part of summer. So here's two salads, neither of which requires turning on the stove (or even the microwave):

Skype was also the first really large scale Postgres deployment.

Trying again, without the misspelling this time: does #Friendica have functionality to replace Facebook Groups? How well does it do as a replacement?
Also, if anyone has experience adminning a friendica server, I'd also love to hear about that. It's a bit of an old stack, which makes me a little nervous.

Hey, @npub1ep8…29a5 something odd is up with Mastodon vs. Bluesky.
Here on Mastodon, I'm seeing all of your posts. On Bluesky I'm largely not; in fact, I seem to find your Bsky posts by the links from here.
Which is odd, because bsky isn't supposed to be using an algo yet?

I have some stuff, do you have any more info about Free People's Library?
Is this the same group as Free Society People's Library?

Reminder to New #Mastodon Users: fill out your profile before following folks. That way they know whether or not to follow you back.

Point. I'd argue that the fact falls into "desireable side effects" rather than motivations, but yeah.

Mind sticking to a link to BlueSky, rather than Threads? Because BlueSky posts are publicly accessible, and Threads aren't.

Hey, #Portland folx, looks like we have some criminals setting ballot drop boxes on fire. Things to do:
1) If possible, drop your ballot at an indoor box in a library. These are supervised by the librarians at all times and nobody is going to set them on fire.
2) If you know anyone who might have used either of the two ballot boxes, please alert them that they might need to get an emergency replacement ballot:
- PDX: Southeast Morrison & 10th ave.
- WA: Vancouver Fisher's Landing

I also have some constructive feedback on support processes, when you're ready for it.

#RedHat OSPO is hiring a #webDev to work on web resources for open source projects we support:
https://redhat.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/jobs/job/Web-Developer--OSPO-_R-041438-1
You'd be working directly with my team and others to build templates and interactive websites for the many OSS efforts we support, from project sites to community analytics.

Suggestion: include a link to your posts in a way that doesn't generate a preview, like an incomplete URL. That still lets readers follow-up, without continuing the problem.

Can you explain? This is the first I've heard of it.

More recommendation requests: Can anyone recommend a *powered* USB-C laptop dock? Outputs I need include multiple USBA and USBC, HDMI, headphone jack.

Also, consider how far we've fallen than "he's doing this evil thing for the money" is regarded as an excuse and not an accusation.
