Update! I'm now the proud owner of a used sparkly black Ibanez Gio, a Katana:Go, cheap bag, and various picks for $340, from American Music. Dude was helpful and also gave me like $100 off the sticker price.

Heeeyyy Fedi!!! I have a question that I *know* a bunch of you are going to be able to answer.

For the past couple decades I've wanted an electric guitar, but my ex always shot it down. So, now that I've escaped that abusive relationship, and with it nearing the holidays again, I've decided I'm going to finally get one.

Last time I played guitar was in middleschool (and some bass in highschool), so I'm starting from scratch.

My constraints:
- 6 string electric guitar
- under $200
- used/hand me down is great
- pink would be awesome
- probably right-handed (because that's what I learned on)

Does anyone have a recommendation (or better yet, an old guitar near Seattle that could use the sweet, sweet love of a new owner?)

looking for recommendations for essays or excerpts from books that are publicly accessible on the Internet and describe or document matters of digital rights advocacy :)

i'm starting a book club with the community of my NGO. right now, i can think of interesting material that feels a little bit too intense for people who are just starting to dip their toes into digital rights advocacy

(like the first chapters of Discriminating Data by Wendy Chun)

any #recommendations ?

💙Some very nice and cool people to brighten your feed, restore your faith in humanity and/or lead you to new spiritual greatness. They have made a really positive impact on me. 💙

I was recently added to this kind of list and felt obligated to pass some good forward.

(Making this kind of thing is not in my ballpark at all. So no harm no foul. I grant myself a get out jail -freecard.)

My best friend is at a nursing home with a brain tumor. His family asked me to turn his TV into a picture frame when it is not in use. I'v set up an old Intel NUC with #opensuse and #Syncthing to maintain a folder with pictures to be displayed. Can anyone suggest a good #slideshow program?
It must support smooth transitions and automatic startup, and be able to detect if new content is added or removed from the folder. #linux #photography #recommendations

Hey Mastodon folks, I'm looking for a (preferably European) alternative to Google Photos. Mainly cloud backup from my phone (Android) and organization, maybe some private photo/album sharing, but not an image-based social media app as such. Free or reasonably priced. Any recommendations? #photobackup #europeanalternatives #recommendations

I'm looking for recommendations to get a new Android tablet. 11" seems to be the right size for me, and at least 8GB of RAM.

I will mostly stream video and read comics and websites.

I've asked before but I can't see how to search my own toots for specific phrases (edit: found it! https://med-mastodon.com/@noodlemaz/114049653842102886)
so again:
Looking for masks that are:
- good-fit for small (not tiny) and M/L face separately
- ear loops for easy on/off
- N95/ffp3
- ideally not single use only
- shipping to UK so prefer not from US

Pls boost! Thanks :)
