Anyone else getting weird notifications from #FairEmail (connected to gmail)? A bunch if notifications for emails that don't show in the Conversations view, and most likely are somewhat old emails?
Maybe related to "94 operations pending",in which case, how do I deal with that?

Why is the letter 'J' pronounced as 'H' in "Saint Jose" and the "Mojave" Desert?

As an Indian, we use British English & never encounter something like this.

Are these pronunciations a feature of 'American English' or something else?

If the first repetition of history is tragedy and the second is farce, what happens on the third and fourth iterations?

I know there are alternative apps for Pixelfed. But are there also alternative web interfaces?

If your life were a movie, what song would play during the end credits? #AskFedi

Here, fedi, general question:
Does it make sense to include a link to a quoted post to help with the "Post pending" thing (when your instance doesn't know the quoted post)?

I sometimes do that, but not always; and now I'm curious...

I'm looking for someone that can help me design a new web site (or perhaps two web sites). I have a graphical design manual and design elements. I'd prefer a SSG like #hexo (that is what I use today) but #WordPress is also fine.

Boosts welcome.

Is there any decent weather app you'd recommend for a @GrapheneOS phone?

[EDIT] Well, this question got a pretty unanimous answer! Thank you everyone, Breezy it is! 😆

Has anyone seen this funky power cable Belkin uses? I can only find ones like the first picture, but the 2nd picture is what I'm trying to find. No filled space in between the 2 prongs, and (optionally) keyed.

I can trim the left to the right but, ick.

Boosts appreciated!

Dear #AskFedi, #activitypub edition,

is there a Linux AP client for devs, that would allow shenanigans like HTTP!S and non-443 ports?

The few I've grabbed from Flatpak balk when I try to enforce both of the things above.

Ikea uses some evil ass stickers on their stemware that just love to shred and prevent you from peeling off. Any advice on removing these? 1m of soaking in 99% isopropyl alcohol did not get rid of the adhesive. #askfedi #duckduckfedi

Damn, I've missed the message. One of blind devs posted one thing called "eleven speech", for eleven labs synth but I forgot who it was.

Is there a fediverse newsletter service, perchance?

(I know Mastodon started implementing newsletter(ish) activity, but it's not readily available, and the stuff I post on my account isn't the stuff I'd be posting if I had a proper newsletter, so that won't be it)

#DuckDuckFedi #AskFedi child wants coloured #hair extensions. The local haunts (Amazon and Bol, a.k.a. Dutch Amazon) are swamped with AI ads and general 'looks unreliable AF'.

Does anyone have a suggestion for a dedicated hair extension and general hair stuff (out of depth dad noise) seller […]

I enjoyed the song but disagree with the "this would never get made today" sentiment. There's **so much music** out there. I'm positive we can find similar stuffs being made today, Fedi friends. If you've got an example to share, post it in the comments 🙏

People of the Fediverse with adblockers -- of which I assume everyone -- does anyone actually have any sites where they do not block ads to try to support the site like all the annoying pop-ups say?

Mastodon admins: How are you dealing with all the spam/bot signups these days? ("I'm not" is NOT A VALID ANSWER, DOT SOCIAL) A comrade in the revolution needs help, and this eminence grise just wants to _know_...

Just looking at our T&Cs, which we copy-pasted under licence to be legally compliant. But they are so long and boring. They've probably been read twice; once when we first added them and once just now.
