    Data visualisation help much appreciated :neocat_reach:

    I'm sick of presenting shitty Excel data visualisations as much as I love what eg. D3.js can do. There's some fancy stuff out there but they all require coding to some extent to run or be embedded … all of which proved being beyond me. I need a solution that can interpret simple structured .csv (or .txt or smth similar simple), and outputs vector/bitmap files.

    My aim is to create 2D data visualisations (donut chart for data set A, vertical bar chart for data set B). Both data sets are simple tables:
    A
    NAME (txt) | VALUE (int.)

    B
    NAME (txt) | VALUE (int.) or VALUE (hh:mm:ss)

    Names are people's names and may run a bit long.

    Yes, I do run some CLI stuff regularly but I can't code.
    No, I don't want to use AI.
    No, I don't want to register for a paid subscription to a capitalist platform.

    Help and boosts appreciated!

  6. Are self-reposts a common thing on Mastodon like they are on Bluesky? Or are they not appreciated as much?

    Qu'est-ce que vous connaissez comme journaux pour enfants, genre Mon Quotidien / Mon Petit Quotidien ?
    En papier et/ou numérique.

    Si vous avez des suggestions de magazines divers, je prends aussi. J'avais entendu parlé de Tchika mais il ne semble plus être sorti de numéro depuis un certain temps.

  12. What made you choose your Fediverse Instance?

    Why did you choose your Fediverse Instance, does it have a bigger meaning than it was a bigger instance or was it for a certain reason? Did you have to be on your instance you chose?

  13. Is there a Mastodon (or equivalent ActivityPub microblog software) instance that blocks both Threads and Bluesky?

    Bonus points if it’s a long-standing and stable instance that would be expected to be around for a long time.

  14. I am using a 2012 MacBook*** Pro OS 10.14.6 - it is full of important and also (secret) private information.

    Is it safe to use WebEx for an online meeting?

    *** forgot that in the meantime I decided to use my outdated iPhone instead

  19. All right, Fedi-mavens:
    Do fibre-optic internet speeds slow down on holiday weekends from heavy use like they used to do in the cable and DSL days?
    Or can we relegate that inconvenience to the past?

  20. Dear #mastodon power-users: Is there a way in the "advanced web interface" to hide those "hide" and "alt" buttons? Or just to move them *away* from the image? I find it a really poor design choice this already tiny image content by active buttons.

  21. Cooking question for #FediCooks :

    Has anyone ever by accident or intentionally left out bay leaves when cooking baked beans? If so, did you notice the difference?

    I have so far left out
    1. Tomato paste (by accident, it was noticeably absent)
    2. Apple cider vinegar (by accident, it was also noticeably absent)
    3. Jalapeno pepper (obviously by accident and also obviously could tell the difference)
    4. Onion (last time, also by accident and definitely was not as good).
    5. Beans. (Just kidding)

    But the bay leaves? So far never forgot to add them.

    Anyone?

  22. To get notified every time someone posts something go to their profile and click the bell icon.This works on Mastodon on a PC/browser.
    How has it taken me this long to discover?
    Bonus: How come I haven't found it on the Android app?

  23. Am I not seeing it or is there really no way to way to see the global timeline in the official #Pixelfded #app?

  24. Hi #Fedizens, I was just asked whether there are specific #hashtags that people know and follow for #SciComm in specific languages.

    I must say I don't know... is this a thing (at least in some languages)?
    If not, well: there is interest in making it a thing, so now you know and can propose ideas 😉

  25. This feels like a dumb question, but I've looked through a few "getting started with Mastodon" resources without finding an answer, so...

    Does anyone know the syntax construct hyperlinked text in a Mastodon post? I.e. instead of text reading "Bridge Day (bridgedayrappel.com/)" I want to just have "Bridge Day" and have that text be hyperlinked to bridgedayrappel.com/ ...

  26. Do I know anyone that hosts a #peertube? I'm thinking of hosting one myself for <insert secret project> and even after reading the documentation I'm still not entirely sure what it does. It hosts videos but how do people find them? Does it work like Mastodon? People have home servers and they subscribe to feeds? Does the server admin decide what feeds the server shows?

    Is it even a reasonable thing to host your own if you want people to actually see your videos?

  27. Hi, #linux friends ^__^ Is there any (not-Ubuntu-based …) #distro that supports #NixOS-style „Oops, an update/I destroyed the system let's roll back“ out-of-the box. I know this is possible with #btrfs, #timeshift and other tools but I was wondering if there's a distro that includes this as a build-in feature (with a gui)? #FediQuestion #LinuxQuestion

  28. Hey fellow #Python programmers,
    I think I remember someone posting a link to a website listing some mistakes that even rather advanced programmers still make. Probably related to some ill-known quirks of the language (shared reference related, etc, not your "10 most common mistakes" basic list).
    However I cannot find it anymore.

    Does it ring a bell, or do you have a favorite of weird Python quirks to share?

  29. Reprints of some of my #postcards hot of the presses, yay! ✨

    I'll be selling them (along with #prints, #stickers etc) here in #Edinburgh on #Colobee (aka #ColonyOfArtists) in September but I'm also thinking of putting them on my #Kofi:

    ko-fi.com/jfml_jfml/shop

    Would you rather want to buy postcards in packs or individual? What would be a good pack-size?

  34. When I boost a post on #Mastodon (actually it's coming from #Pixelfed, but I don't think it matters), can I make it so that I'm notified of every reply (mainly this) / retoot (optional) / like (vanity) of that post? Like if it'd be mine?
