Where do I start looking for people doing information design?

Hey, everyone, I need some help.

I need "classic" songs (hard rock, disco, classic pop – stuff Gen X and early millennials listened to Back Then™ – that are revered as classics but really questionable in terms of lyrical content.

Misogyny, racism, rape culture, whatever; if you can think of one or more songs that tick those boxes, drop some names.

Example: "My Sharona", written by a 25-year-old dating a 17-year-old, with interesting lyrics such as "always get it up for the touch of the younger kind".

That kinda songs. I'm writing something and I need some songs to reference. The more well-known and -liked and the uglier in hindsight, the better.

As my iPhone nears 6 years of use, I'm considering purchasing a new device and wondering whether I can take this opportunity to move away from the big brand surveillance advertising OS phones like iOS and Android.

The only feature I really want is a proper camera for nice photos and videos.

Any recommendations? Thanks!

Ok, is there a wordpress plugin that will just let me add a post's custom meta fields to the RSS feed?
This seems like such a simple and obvious thing but I can't find anything that does this.

Anyone know of a plugin for this?

I'm having good luck lately with tech questions when I #askfedi
So
Do you know any way to change the keyboard on my iPhone? When I search I get all results about Apple's language & layout options but that's not what I want. Apple crams too much important stuff in a small space when I activate multiple languages. I really hate their keyboard & wondered if it was alterable. Long ago I loaded Swiftkey (which they sorta offer now with swipe) but anyway just hoping someone made a better design. 1/2

Kind fedizens, I need your swarm intelligence, or hive mind, if you prefer.

Quite a while ago, someone had posted an offline Mastodon viewer that works entirely in the browser *and requires no further installation*. I searched the web and found some tools that all need to be installed on the computer.

Does someone remember?

Please boost for visibility, I’m at a loss here. Thank you

ETA: https://marginalia-search.com is the search alternative I was looking for. It's been upgraded substantially since I first used it, but it's true to its core. Blogs, academia & old web feature prominently.

I also found this in my old posts:
https://yacy.eskimo.com

help me? I am looking for something I found shared on the fedi over a year ago, a small web search. I think it was someone's personal project, a subpage on their site. it favors blogs and non-corporate sites in the results.

#AskFedi I am looking for books, articles, posts and research papers on the user experience and user interface / HCI design of *command line applications*

Please boost.

#AskFedi I have an 10 year old dedicated server paid for another month. After that, it's gone. I don't have a lot of time on my hand either. But I'm looking for ideas of what I could do with it. Ideas?

could anyone help identify what mahjong set this is from? #mahjong #askfedi

Is there a limit to the number of filters you can have? Or is something glitchy on Mastodon? I've tried repeatedly in the past couple of days to add some more filters/filtered words, and they're not being added to my list. I do have a lot though. Anyone know?

I have a friendica account on friendica.world . Mastodon is working for me. So i don't want to keep it anymore. But can't find the way to delete the account. How can I do that?

Hey Fediverse admins, need to ask some help!

Do you know any forums or groups specifically for Fediverse admins to ask each other technical questions?

Does the phrase “you guys” as a default for a group of people feel inclusive for you?

Hat jemand von euch Meinungen zu Titan OS, welches sich auf den neueren Philips-TVs befindet? Liest sich nach Werbewanze, kann man die Geräte auch komplett offline benutzen?

Fedi people with a website who are also pseudonymous, what did/do you use to register your domain name(s)?

I would like to be able to 1. pay anonymously, preferably using a debit card through a blind signature or zero-knowledge proof mechanism as privacy-friendly crypto is hard to find, and 2. not have to register using an email address, which again are not easy to get pseudonymously/anonymously.

Boosts appreciated.

I've been #AskFedi 'ing for a lot of things, and here's another rec request:

An app to replace #GoogleCalendar. The catch? I don't want to link it with Google Calendar, and ideally the option to import its data should be free.

(So that leaves out Tuta Calendar, but if I can't find anything else I'll just grab a yearly sub when I have more money... or add things manually.)

Also:
* online + Android app combo
* FOSS, but will consider Freenium

So far I have tried:

Notion (requires login to Google to use the Calendar portion)

Fruux (can't find the Android app, and I get that stupid 404 Dancing Zebra when I try to get an activation email)

Zoho Calendar ("We are unable to create your account right now.")

I don't know, seems like a long shot, but if anyone has any recommendations I'll check them out regardless!

Got this one for a couple of bucks.
It is in a very non-working condition, basically nothing electrical is working.
The only thing left is a Cathode-ray tube and some speakers - the rest was thrown out long time ago.

So, I need some tips from #fediverse

What display-panel should I put in this one?

I am thinking, of reusing a raspberry pi and make it some sort of "media station" if possible. But first do I need to make the display functional.

Folks who have a single-person #GoToSocial instance: what's your setup/hosting situation?

I want to try it out but am waffling about whether to go with managed hosting, or a VPS, or what. I may honestly start off by self-hosting with #Yunohost on my old netbook simply because it's the easiest and cheapest.
