The “Plan Vert” open letter to request that #ruby on #rails disassociate from DHH is only 7 signatures away from reaching 100. It includes a former Rails core member, Eugen Rochko creator of Mastodon, Aaron Sumner of Everyday Rails, Ryan Bigg author of many Rails books, Lucas Dohmen author of […]

Matching hats not included! #plushtodon

I'm sure other people have noted this but at some point we went from talking about "social network sites" to talking about "social media sites". At first, the network was the thing that mattered. Then, the media was the thing that mattered. A quick Google Trends query shows the shift might […]

The upcoming #plushtodon’s compact size makes it a good travel companion.

Offering up the #plushtodon to the lake deity for a bountiful federation.

The old web was decentralized: - Newsgroups - Personal Websites - Bulletin board - Email as a service, not a platform - Internet relay chat (IRC) - Early blogs Then corporations arrived with money and lock-in, turning the internet into centralized ad farms (Meta, X, TikTok). Users became […]

My in-laws do not know not to send us flowers. Yes, there are the normal concerns about cat-friendly plants and so forth, but the biggest problem is that Dolores is obsessed with them. She gets so excited around them that she has to be supervised.

Good morning! If you’re on mastodon.social (or another server running nightly builds) you can begin quoting posts in your posts (quooting?) starting today. Remember, you control whether you can be quoted, and call always retract your post from a specific quote. And you can quote me on that!

MSNBC fired Matthew Dowd for saying that Charlie Kirk pushed hate. Meanwhile, over at FOX, Brian Kilmeade floats “involuntarily lethal injection” for the homeless. https://www.mediamatters.org/fox-friends/fox-news-host-mentally-ill-people-who-commit-crimes-just-kill-them

Today, we’re ready to show you the upcoming quote posts feature in more detail. We’ve put together a blog post with examples of how quote posts will work on Mastodon, ahead of early access on our own servers next week 💬 Full launch to come, in Mastodon v4.5 […]

Happy #ti14 day for anyone who's watching!

Who's hyped for #ti14?

I miss the times when you could pause a video and let it buffer to full so you can play it without interruptions.

Did you know your MacBook has a sensor that knows the exact angle of the screen hinge? It’s not exposed as a public API, but I figured out a way to read it and make it sound like an old wooden door. Source code and a downloadable app to try it yourself […] [Original post on hachyderm.io]

RIP #maru. I feel like I knew him through his YouTube videos my whole adult life. I hope there are a lot of cozy cardboard boxes wherever he is now.

I was just thinking to myself "It would be good if #mastodon let you follow someone's original posts without seeing all the stuff they boost, which is not relevant to me". Then it occurred to me to look and see if it does ... and it does! Click on the person's username, then click the […]

Must-read: So-called "age verification" laws are spreading. They will not protect kids. They are grossly insecure. They will be tools of censorship, surveillance, and oppression. They amount to requiring a license to speak -- and to read. We have to stop this […]

One of the standout bands from this year's #arctangent to me was #mew. I had no idea about them beforehand and caught them purely by accident as we were near the tent where they were playing. In the sea of post-rock, their clean vocals and distinguishable melodies clearly stood out. Sadly I […]

"Sideloading" is the rentseeker word for "being able to run software of your choosing on a computing device you purchased". There is no reasonable case for an operating system developer having a say over what programs you run on your hardware. #android #google

This new release of #Mastodon for #AppleII mostly brings you the ability to view pictures and send pictures in DHGR - Double High Graphics Resolution! 560x192 in monochrome, or 140x192 in 16 colors. You can find it via […] [Original post on piaille.fr]

BER has these new scanners where they don't ask you to take anything out of the bags anymore, but more importantly, they have explicit instructions to ask for a handcheck for photographic film, and the security has a special tray for it, which I really appreciate.

Happy #WorldPhotographyDay ! This is one of my favourite images from last autumn in Scotland's Ancient Caledonian Forest. In the dark of morning, I hiked up this pathless steep sided hill to gain a view over the magnificent glen beyond and was treated to an […] [Original post on mas.to]

TesseracT is simply unbeatable as the highlight of #arctangent 2025 for me. They always put up such a great performance. The music, the choreography, the lights, the props, they were rightfully the culmination of the entire festival this year.

I am still not over the situation when someone asked for my “gmail”, I gave them my email address and they were like “No, your gmail!” And tried to explain to me that they only could send messages to Gmail accounts and they do not have an email. We really need to teach more computer literacy […]
