MakeUseOf: Sick of Too Many Tabs? These Simple Tricks Saved Me . “My web browsers used to look chaotic at best. A random website open in one tab, Google Docs in another, and perhaps a video to listen to while I worked with some extra tabs involving research pages. Eventually, I got fed up with working like this, and some simple tweaks changed everything.”

A little reminder to everybody on climatejustice.social (but it similarly also applies to all Mastodon servers).

If you're posting mostly in one language, please go to https://climatejustice.social/settings/preferences/other and set your primary posting language, if you haven't yet. It does not have to be the same as your interface language.

While you're there you can also filter languages. If you select any of the languages in the list, then only posts in that or those languages will display in public timelines for you. This does not work if people set their posts to the wrong language though.

If you regularly switch languages, please try to make a habit of manually selecting the posting language every time.

Apart from the language filters, some other advantages of setting the correct language:
* climatejustice.social and many other servers have a built in translation function, but it only works if the language is set correctly (this is especially important for moderators - you'll be making our live a lot easier)
* Alt text is also translated, so for accessibility, please always write your alt text in the post's language
* trends are language specific. if you set your posts to the wrong language, you could be spamming the trends for that language
* your account is recommended to people based on the set language(s) of your posts, if your privacy settings allow account recommendation
* if someone follows you and you post in different languages and actually set them correctly every time, they can go to your profile and select which of your languages they wand to subscribe to

And by […]

Hackaday: Photogrammetry Takes To The Skies. “Maybe your goal is to preserve the heyday of rail travel with a precise scale replica of a particular railroad station. Maybe you’re making a hyper-local edition of Monopoly in which the houses and hotels are the actual houses and hotels in your hometown. Whatever the reason, if you have need for shrinkifying a building or other reasonably large […]
