@stefano overall i felt your conduct was well done. ive been in a similar situation and its not easy to navigate. staying professional as you always do and finding common ground the best you can usually works. to your point on eu/us. im a citizen of both. the general vibe in .us is blowtorch everyone on the internet (even businesses at times do it). whereas in .eu ive found reputation and following the guidelines to a t yields more fruit. the only way ive stayed sane (relatively speaking) is to keep a small client base that's diverse in vertical and operations, show value, keep them on long retainers and clearly defined contracts that spell out project proposal initiatives and what not. its served me well. btw the email migration reminds me of a similar situation when i migrated a healthcare entity from google to zimbra. this was over a decade ago. the client had an exclusive they did not disclose with a zimbra vendor which got ugly quickly. was fortunate enough at the time to have a client law practice (they keep me out of jail on red/black team gigs) who offered to settle the matter. luckily all could come to an agreement although i lost all revenue i kept the clients in a good spot. a year later ironically enough i was hired by zimbra to expand my migration tool. really respect how you conduct yourself and how transparent you always are. ciao!

@rivercityrandom Writing a novel in #emacs is quite straightforward and not very different from, uh, writing a novel.Here is how I do it: starting with chapter 1 I would hit the following keys: Shift+C, h, a, p, t, e, r, space, 1. Hope that helps.

How about an #Introduction again, since I haven’t been very active here and I’m thinking of being more active. And yes, it’s in part because of #Bluesky, the CEO, and their shit content moderation. I’m not leaving there yet. I would like to try another instance, though it looks like that may be pointless if Jay can get mad at you and delete you from all instances.But I digress… an intro:I’m an #author #writing a book series called Mercedes Masterson Detective Stories, but also other novels and short stories as well. I have the first three in the series out now. The first two are free currently from my newsletter site (in the library). The series is noir/thriller and with some horror sometimes and deals in themes such as corruption, friendship, and #LGBTQ issues (Mercedes is a closested #bisexual woman). I’m also a trained method actor (the non-annoying kind) and recently starred in a short film that garnered 4 nominations including Best Film. I used to do a lot of indie filmmaking back in the early 2000s. I love movies and especially #horror. I’m currently enrolled at SNHU and in my last year of school. It’s looking like I may wrap up my bachelor’s degree in the spring of 2026. I’m an English major and do enjoy #editing and am considering it as a career afterwards. I’m rounding off my degree with courses on #journalism. I write and edit a #newsletter called Weaver’s Deep Thoughts which has “deep thoughts” on a variety of topics as well as free #ShortStories and #poetry by a diverse group of writers. It’s slowly growing and submissions are currently open. I’m currently rolling out a serialized story called “The Bride of Usher” for #Halloween which is a sci-fi/horror blend of “Frankenstein” and “The Fall of the House of Usher.” New installments are dropping every Friday this month. The first is a available now. Here’s some links:— Newsletter: https://weaversdeepthoughts.com— Mercedes books: https://mercedesmasterson.com— Other links like socials and dms: https://Weaver.wtfI’d love to connect and I love collaborating. Stay awesome. And leave LGBTQ folks alone!! 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈Be good to each other. ✌️ Edit: Feel free to introduce yourself in the comments, or re-introduce if we know each other from other places.

@susankayequinn @ehasbrouck Seems like the simple solution is for writers to send their address to the publisher, noting explicitly in the letter that it is for the express purpose of receiving the settlement. If the publisher then keeps the money, it is embezzlement.

@billseitz Good resource, thanks.

New to mastadon today though I would give it a go. I do lots of crafty things for my own happiness and mental wellbeing. I am a Twitter and Bluesky refugee. Two of the things I love doing are embroidery and photography. Check my bio for more if youre curious #photography #books #writing #embroidery #painting #fountainpens

If your book(s) were, or are pirated on LibGen and subsequently used by Anthropic to train its AI models, the courts have ordered them to pay a minimum of $1.5B. Authors might/could/perhaps get an estimated payment of $3,000 per work (based on current estimates of the # of pirated works trained on).But you definitely won't get your $$$ unless you register your claim: https://secure.anthropiccopyrightsettlement.com/register#Author #IndieAuthor #IndieAuthors #SelfPublishing #Writing #WritersCoffeeClub

@masukomi I think that ice cream (or at least some variety) also taste of fat, and thus may be appreciated even by somebody who doesn't taste sugar?

I want to #work with [you] people in the #Fediverse !Translating your articles, #proofreading your #writing, doing #research for your video essay on a 20th century philosophical school, teach you one or two #languages, doing admin for your educational non-profit, exchanging broader knowledge around politics, humanities, literature, helping sell you woodcarving art pieces...but above all I want to make #art and creative things with you.I run out of options and resources to find "normal" work IRL where I live, or escaping to study in Europe,and it is in part because I had already started being too influenced by people on here to be able to continue accepting the dire conditions offered in my immediate environment,but also, I joined here because I did not really belong in said environment already. so the thing is, I can only do the things listed remotely, online, for now.Anyone interested?#translation #job #jobsearch #fedihire
