  1. Hmm… maybe I should publish online serialized #fiction instead. But it's too linear, I wonder how I can use the #snowflake method with serial fiction. 🤔🧐

  2. Plot twist: There is actually a hidden continent / base in what looks like an empty expanse of the Pacific Ocean.

    What do you think is hiding cloaked/invisible?

  3. Uploaded four (4) #keyboard layout files over at #WikiCommons.

    * SVG format
    ** text and path methods
    * CC By-SA 4.0 International License

    Here are the links:

    PS
    * ‹text› method allows anyone to change the font as well as to translate the text.
    * ‹path› method is “embedded” (if you will), and thus, not translatable and the font design is fixed.

    It's licensed under #CreativeCommons #BySA 4.0 because the source file, in PNG format, is under the same license. I actually prefer to release it under CC0/CCzero (a.k.a. Public Domain). Although in some jurisdictions, it can only be Public Domain because there's nothing artistic about an ISO-based keyboard layout.

    The changes I made:
    1. Converted the PNG source to SVG.
    2. Removed the labels of non-basic keys.
    3. Updated the name of some keys
    4. Changed some of the symbols
    5. Used Noto Sans, Noto Symbols, and Noto Symbols 2.

    Enjoy!

  4. If Luna is like Earth, with atmosphere, trees, animals, water, and everything that will support life, how do you think life in Earth-Luna will be?

    1. Will Lunans reach Earth first, or will Earthlings reach Luna first?

    2. Is Earth going to be united and wage war on Luna? Or, a Lunan Empire trying to conquer Earth, will force Earth to unite?

    3. Is there going to be cultural exchanges and trades between Earth and Luna?

    4. What if Luna is superior in knowledge and technology than Earth? Are Earthlings going to accept Lunans are superior?

    5. Will humanity (assuming Lunans are humans too) have colonised Mars already with their combined knowledge and technologies?

    What do you think?

    Oh. Before you answer, let's make this entire thread under a #CreativeCommons #Attribution #ShareAlike 4.0 (#CCBySA #CC #BySA) #License. So, if someone wants to write a story based on the answers here (if there will be any), it's shareable and attribution is given. ^_^

    Or, maybe you have book recommendations about such a setup like above?

  5. CW: On: Content License

    When the #Fediverse started in 2008, the main concern was the #License of people's content. Many instances from 2008 to 2015 (afair) prominently displayed, and included in their Terms of Service, the license of the content of users who use their service.

    By 2016 (afair), this practice started to disappear. You wouldn't even find information about the #Copyright of the content of users in many instances. Without any mention, the default, according to Copyright Laws all over the world, is #AllRightsReserved.

    (Again, the ‘end’ date is only as far as I remember, it could be earlier when this practice stopped.)

    That said, I included in my profile description that my SNS posts are under the #CreativeCommons #Attribution #ShareAlike 4.0 International License, or #CCBySA / #BySA for short.

    It doesn't cover reshare/reboosts/quotereplies, nor the content of the linked article, if any. Replies to my thread are not affected either. It only covers the actual SNS posts of mine, unless otherwise specified.

    Do you have to do it too? Not really. It is just my personal choice. Responsible #writers will still ask for permission if they're going to quote you in their article.

  6. Under marked otherwise, all posts from this account are #CC #BYSA 4.0. Unless I send a DM, I want all my posts publicly visible, to any web browser, and any other user app or archival/ research system that speaks #ActivityPub (and ideally #Diaspora and #Zot too). I'm happy for them to be indexed by any search system and included in any relevant search. That's why I publish them on the web with Mastodon. When I want to have private discussion, I use DMs. One day the AP-verse will do this better.
