Hello and good day to all musicians and music lovers of the fediverse!
Last year's FediVision event was a fun success, so this year we're doing it again.
#FediVision is a fediverse-wide music competition and celebration, inspired by the much bigger and better financed Eurovision Song Contest.
The main event and final voting period will be on Saturday, May 14th.
To organise the song submissions and all the info and FAQs, we've made a website: fedivision.party

Turns out that if someone uses the move-account function on Mastodon, their Mastodon followers get transferred nicely, but if you're a follower on Friendica and/or Pleroma you have to re-follow them yourself.
(I'm sorry for the multiple follow requests from multiple accounts...)
In 1989 I was 19 years old, so you'd think that musically this would totally be my era and that the 1989 #AlbumBowl would totally be my music. But none of them.
I think there's a combination of music being even more regionally separated (marketing-wise) than films and the main problem that I just have a weird taste in music.
I'm now wondering where I can find a list of albums by year to check what I listened too.
here is the field for the 1989 #AlbumBowl
Well, there's this list, but it's still very American:
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1989_i…
From that I only get Throwing Muses, 10,000 Maniacs, The The, The Sugarcubes and of all things, Transvision Vamp. Yes, I own up to that.

The film asks uncomfortable questions about how much someone is allowed to make medical decisions about themselves.
The story and the acting are central here, as films should be. Totally a classic.

A very interesting film that is mainly an online video conversation between the two main characters. They knew each other from when they were little kids playing in a tree house, but now they live far apart and at the end of their high school years he's lonely without any friends and she seems to be a party girl who got it all together. Stuff happens and I may have suspected these exact things to happen, but that doesn't take away from this film being a great watch with great performances.
The film has comments on social media when she helps him setup a Facebook page and get friends ('acquaintances') and when she posts beach photos while grounded ('the internet doesn't know I'm grounded'). I understand it was very interesting for the actors to film the dialogue as a video call, quite different from other films.
Now playing a CD virtually nobody has, not even Tidal or Spotify have it: Alex Parks with "Honesty", from 2005. I have no idea why everybody has forgotten about her, she's so good.
This is her second album. Her first did reasonably well, she was also known from tv in the UK, but this second slipped everyone by.

Though I must admit I never really understand lyrics and am guessing. In the case of Tanya Donelly I've heard it's not really my fault. A lot of her lyrics sound like they're metaphors for some deep stuff, but are instead just things that happened to her that no one could have known.
In some song she describes shiny lights from under the water. What does that mean? Actually, as a kid she did an experiment with coloured (water proof) Christmas lights in the bathtub and liked the way it looked.
"this little squirrel I used to be slammed her bike down the stairs they put silver where her teeth had been baby silver-tooth she grins and grins"? Yes, real event. Indoor bicycle accident as a little girl where she broke her teeth.
These 4AD catalogue numbers are so low, and I have so many of those CDs, I must own a not-insignificant section of their music. Other labels have CD numbers like 4799436548743, while this is number 802.
Is 4AD for music what A24 is for films? I don't know about these things. But strikes me that they both release things that are generally considered good and that nobody has ever heard of.
I have imported 'The Thread'.

There are dozens of fish or fish-like emoji (e.g., 🐟 🐠🎣🐡🦈🐬🐳🐋🐟.𓆝𓆟)
In fact, there are so many that, if I sent you a random one, a third party wouldn't have a good chance of guessing which one I'd sent.
This means we could adopt a new form of 2FA based on sending fish emoji

What to do if you're on mobile and there's a function in the website you're browsing that's accessed by 'just hovering over it'? Well, I don't really know, but some things that help me sometimes:
- If you have an s-pen, you can hover with that
- long tap the item so the context menu pops up. Click outside it so it disappears, the hover popup may also have popped up behind it and still be there. (Works sometimes in Friendica)
- in some circumstances you can tap just long enough for it not to be a click (short tap), but short enough not to be a right click (long tap), but it still brings up the hover popup. (Works sometimes in Pleroma)
- if the thing you wanted to see was alt text (image description), in some browsers like Chrome it will show on top of the context menu. So long tap... If the text is not fully shown, tap on the text and it expands.

More tips in the category of 'forget about the usability, just go with it', but now Amazon Prime Video:
To play a video on your tv, first open the app on your tv, then select your profile, find your series, select the season, find the episode, click ok to play it. Then repeat all previous steps because the app crashed. Always the first time you use it, without fail. Open the app again, select profile, series, season, episode, click ok. This second time it never crashes. Now click ok again to skip the advert. Yes advert, despite paying for a subscription, but you can skip it. Now your episode plays. Happy watching!
Also fediverse things:
Q: where are the adverts?
A: there aren't any.
Q: how do I switch the timeline to newest first?
A: it already is newest first.
Q: what algorithm controls the timeline?
A: none.
Q: do I get to see 'promoted posts'?
A: no.
Q: do I get to see 'posts that have been liked by someone you follow'?
A: no, if they wanted followers to see the post, they would have hit the button to share it with their followers.
Q: if I report a post that bothers me, what automated systems handle those reports?
A: a person does.

#FediTips #feditip There's more to the fediverse than #Mastodon. E.g. I post this from #Friendica, which allows longer posts with text formatting and pictures. It all connects anyway. (It also has editing, forums, side-channels, connectors with various mainstream services)
You also don't need to 'find a community that suits you', despite what many are saying, if you're not into that type of thing. You can, with some tech knowhow, self host a server like I do and have your very own place to post from. No-one setting quota, no-one setting rules you don't agree with. Or you can just join a big general server and post from there, if you want.
Finding posts about your interests is tricky however, since hashtags don't really work as you'd think. One way is to find people in the list of the trunk project or in the directories provided by your Mastodon or Friendica server.
Oh, and have fun!

People in the US and the UK can now see the Charlie-centric episode Mourning Cloak of Fear The Walking Dead (7x10). For me that's going to be another couple of months if not a year. In yesterday's Insta-takeover Alexa Nisenson (who plays Charlie) revealed what her favourite episodes of each season were to film: 7x10 Mourning Cloak, 6x07 Damage From The Inside, 5x04 Skidmark and 4x10 Close Your Eyes. I've watched the latter many times already and can concur that it's a great episode, as are the others she mentions, though 5x12 Ner Tamid is a classic too.
Since I can't watch season 7, but want to mark the occasion anyway, I'll be rewatching these other episodes. In reverse order. Starting with session 6's Damage From The Inside.

Dear #France peeps: please vote against the fascist today. And then, get out on the streets tomorrow and make it clear that Macron has no mandate for further racist, right-wing policy.
Abstaining right now is not a useful protest against Macron and his bullshit. It is pro-fascism. Voting is the easiest, most risk-free antifascist action you can take today.

Having not seen all their films, I'm gonna say "maybe".
But Ghibli's fantasy-scifi films are often held up as examples of solarpunk-ish. Some of their work includes people living in problematic or dystopian futures, but showing how communities of people work together to eke out a good life.
And more importantly, Ghibli's vibe is often to introduce an antagonist, but to then reveal later how the antagonist is motivated by good intentions or internal strife, and the films often end with reconciliation or by finding a peaceful accomodation between distinct cultures. This contrasts sharply with narratives about killing the wicked stepmother queen and saving the righteous damsel, which is proto-fascist.
Of course, Ghibli have a few unambiguous baddies also, e.g. in Castle In The Sky. They're far from immune to the draw of conflict and righteousness.

After some feedback on deadlines and deliberation in the team, we're moving #FediVision2022 a week so the main event will be held on Saturday, May 21st.
We're doing this to give musicians an extra week to finish their songs, and we recognize that yesterday's announcement was too close to the initial deadline for song submissions.
The new deadline for submitting a song to #FediVision is May 17th, 3 PM CEST (= 1 PM UTC).
Good luck with the music writing and song crafting!
