It's strange to find out that one of the companies you worked for isn't around any more.

Today I am stepping down from my role as the CEO of #mastodon. Though this has been in the works for a while, I can't say I've fully processed how I feel about it. There is a bittersweet part to it, and I think I will miss it, but it also felt necessary. It feels like a goodbye, but it isn't—I […]

Our Founder, @Gargron is stepping down from his position as CEO. He shared a reflection on his time building and growing Mastodon on our blog. We want to take a moment to express the Mastodon team’s deep gratitude and admiration for Eugen, and for the technology and community he has built here […]

Hey everyone, we have some pretty big news to share. You might remember that we announced a big restructuring for the Mastodon team earlier this year. Today marks an important milestone in this transition. #mastodon #fediverse #socialweb

Hi! Today is my first official day as the Executive Director of Mastodon, replacing @[email protected] as CEO. I joined the Mastodon team more than 5 years ago, mostly working for Mastodon in the evenings on top of a 120% day job. I was the driving force behind the incorporation of the […]

I criticize Mozilla quite strongly. That's not cause I want them to die. It's because while they might've lost their way I strongly believe we need organizations like Mozilla. (Even if Mozilla as "tech-company" probably needs to either massively pivot or be replaced with something that servers […]

The weird thing about the #genai bubble is that everyone who's even moderately well-informed knows perfectly well that it's a bubble. I read quite a bit of finance journalism and skepticism/cynicism dominate there. In that respect it’s more like 2008 than 2000. Like they say, “the market can […]

I really do like #Boox #eInk devices. I owned an A4 size one before I switched to my #NoteAir (1). Boox never had great #userexperience when it came to software: their devices are *really* capable but you had to get used to its strange #ux before being able to use its awesome features properly […]

Why is it that #film scripts are full of completely false #it concepts? I mean nobody would write normal scenes where one person is pulling a freshly baked pizza out of the ear of another person. Nobody would accept things that defy basic physics except as a particular part of the story. 🤷 […]
