Fedi, I'm on the hunt for #sports teams, podcasts, accounts, fanclubs, zines, anything sports and leisure-related if and only if it's in #cymru / #Wales or is connected culturally e.g. London Welsh. Have you seen a cricket team, youth rugby, fishing club, birdwatching group, or esports on the […]

Is there a reason why the #nextcloud desktop client doesn't allow auto uploading of photos but the mobile apps ( google and iphone) do? Can the functionality be enabled for desktop version? This is currently a problem when using #postmarketos, at least in my use case

This looks genuinely excellent for #Cardiff and applaud @transportforwales.bsky.social for not proposing a value-engineered box (though let’s see the reality before judging!).

One big problem here though is clearly an UNCOVERED route to the tram platform. It rains in Wales *a lot*, we need roofs!

Any #postmarketos users got TTS working? I had it working fine for four months, then I had to reinstall the OS and now I can't get it right 😢 And of course I didn't make a note of what I did to get it working 😆

Totally niche tip here, but for anybody using KDE Plasma (Linux) that has a keyboard that doesn't have an AltGr key, and wants to use accents (like in #cymraeg), add the 'compose' button to 'right alt' and you are away.

I realise that this is possibly just me on the whole internet 😆

This is how to build a community!

The TRMNL X was supposed to be sent before Christmas. That was a personal promise of the founder, Ryan Kulp.

This is *especially bad* if you’re a cyclist

And even worse if the car has automatic full beam LEDs where the driver is oblivious to dazzling you as a cyclist

There was also a 71% drop in air pollution.

Cardiff is a hot-bed of activity for Mastodon, there are (up to) 5 of us! At least @DrEdBridges @carlmorris as well

Maybe we should organise an annual Toot Wales Caerdydd get-together...?!
