oh yeah i love Phineas H-and Pherb why do you ask

He did the research. This is no different than Truth Social or Gabb, where off the shelf platforms already do all these things.

If this guy hosts it all himself, and doesn’t federate it, then that’s literally what already exists out there. He doesn’t want to leave the walled garden. He wants his own walled garden, and for you to plant flowers there.

A few weeks ago, we started noticing a number of applications on pixelfed.ca, where the user would say that they needed to register for a course. I don’t have full confirmation, but I’m fairly certain that this is a legitimate wave of signups from students at a Canadian university.

I’m sharing this post for a few reasons:

1. I thought it was neat

Personally, I’m excited that people are trying out Pixelfed and using it in coursework like this. If you are one of the students, now seeing this post, welcome! :) I hope that the project goes well, and that you have a pleasant experience on the platform. Feel free to share any and all feedback.

2. Some of the posts may look like spam at first

You might be seeing similar looking posts from different accounts on your feed. My guess is that the course has specific requirements and example templates. However, there’s also plenty of real content (ex. artwork, photography, etc.), so I don’t think it’s going to be disruptive

3. Please report anything that seems off

As always, you can report inappropriate content through the UI. For urgent issues, please email us at support@pixelfed.ca. You can also DM admin@lemmy.ca as there is overlap with our Pixelfed and Lemmy team members.

@Xibanya @jannem I get where you're coming from! Just that it's important to acknowledge this *is* coddling them and not holding them to a pretty low standard, bwcause that responsibility absolutely shouldn't fall on you alone.
Otherwise I can see men running with this like SEE - You shouldn't tell me not to be sexist, I can't help it! This woman is doing it right!
When you're just... Surviving. And we deserve better than that but, when men hold all the cards, what else can you realistically do.

@neauoire @joshavanier *Writes down titles* I'll have to do some research I think.

(And no, an in-kernel OOM/alloc failure is not the same thing as an oom_killer OOM that kills a process)

The link is the file.

You can't upload images or video, and it isn't collaborative the way Google Docs is. A long document can go through the site's link shortener, which encrypts it in your browser before sending it to a server, though Ford says those links expire within a month.

I'd use it for the small stuff you'd otherwise screenshot from a notes app, like a packing list, a recipe or the split on a dinner bill, and if you'll still want it next year, export it as a PDF or keep the full link somewhere safe.

Ford calls that "the dream of the entire 1990s in office software," and he's right.

Ford's co-founder Rich Ziade had the idea six years ago with TinySheet, a ten-line spreadsheet that kept its data in its link, which Ford says people mostly used to share simple math in Slack. TinySheet and a later TinyCalendar "fell off the web, and the old links all broke." This version is open source under the MIT license.

Ford is upfront that it's built for "a couple pages, a few slides."

Ford wrote in the Aboard newsletter on October 14 that the data rides in the link, after the "#," which stays local by default, so nothing gets saved to a server and all your internet provider sees is that you visited the site.

Besides the calculator, the site lists a word processor, outliner, presentation builder, spreadsheet, drawing tool, diagram maker, animator, calendar and trip planner, and you can drop one document inside another.

Tiny Little Office puts the document inside its own link...

Paul Ford's company Aboard just put out Tiny Little Office, ten free office apps where the web address is the file. Copy the link, paste it into a chat, and Ford says everybody in that chat now has a copy they can edit, with no account for anyone.

Tiny Little Office's own guide shows how it works with a dinner bill. Open the calculator, type what food and drinks cost, add an 18% tip, divide by six, and send the link to the table.

I think someone didn’t do the research neded.

@tantramar How did that happen & where did the equine try to eat you?

I've been bit on butt by an aggressive ostrich, during past elementary school field trip to a farm, when I worked as special needs TA. I had to use a donut pillow to sit for about a week after.

@TheBreadmonkey I think there must be a form to fill in. And you may have to cut out some coupons.
