It's nice to discover that what looked like a #bent frame is just a misaligned rear wheel.
I flipped the wheel, and the gap moved to the other side.

Then I used the string method: https://sheldonbrown.com/frame-spacing.html
Looks even!

Adjusting spokes is lower stakes than trying to unbend the main part of the #bike.

#OpenRefine needs help to improve its #Windows and #MacOS #packaging. We want to make it easier to install the tool on those platforms. We use #Java #Maven #Launch4j and #Appbundle. Do you know someone who can help? RTs appreciated! https://openrefine.org/blog/2022/09/30/windows-macos-packaging.html

Search is effectively disabled across all of Mastodon. You can search for people and hashtags, but you cannot search content.

This was an explicit decision based on how search on other platforms has been abused to enable stalking and harassment.

It's a difficult balance, discoverability vs "protection".

There are ways to semi-circumvent it, but broadly, there is no wide-spread search for content, which is why heavy use of #hashtags is encouraged.

Happy Birthday, Mr. President.

We just heard the sad news that Mastodon.Technology is closing its doors at the end of the year.

Firstly, our thoughts go out to Ash at this difficult time. We really hope everything works out for you, @ashfurrow.

Secondly, if any of you folks on Mastodon.Technology are considering a move, you’re all welcome here on #Fosstodon with your fellow nerds. Just mention you’re migrating when you sign up.

One more thing… #Casio owners get preferential treatment! 😂
