Weapons was wild. Recommend.

The blessed night of pizza has returned. May pizza be with you (and also with you).

This thing that 404 is writing about in the US—the dehumanizing fake content created purely because Facebook pays people to make it? https://www.404media.co/ai-generated-videos-of-ice-raids-are-wildly-viral-on-facebook/ It has a direct precedent in the Myanmar genocide and has been widely […]

Anyways, happy Friday to all who celebrate <3

Network engineers: How the fuck do you learn or test anything without buying licenses or purchasing a $1000 test device? I've been bending over backwards to try and prop up test devices for admin automation on network anything; switches, firewalls, whatever.

Best quote I've seen all day so far, from an Ars piece by @dangoodin on skepticism around OpenAI's breathless claim that a Chinese hacking group used Claude code to automate 90 percent of their attack: “I continue to refuse to believe that attackers are somehow able to get these models to jump […]

An especially big *fuck you* to platforms that intentionally omit importing and exporting data to discourage moving off of their platform. I'm looking at you, Kaseya.

Ads are stupid and I will always make my life more inconvenient to never have to see one ever.

I really want a single global setting on my phone for “never autoplay anything ever, no matter what the app settings might have been set to, god damn it”

This is pretty wild. Checkout.com got hacked by a group that claims to be Shiny Hunters again. Checkout said in blog post that it would not be extorted by criminals. "We will not pay this ransom. Instead, we are turning this attack into an investment in security for our entire industry. We […]

We just released Mastodon 4.5.1 This version fixes some bugs found in 4.5.0. Full release notes and update instructions are available on the GitHub release page. https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/releases/tag/v4.5.1 #mastoadmin

I've always wanted to do a friendsgiving.

"Can you explain this gap in your resume?" I'm not very good with CSS...

*me in summer*: "It's too hot >:c" *me in winter*" "It's too cold >:c"

This e-paper front panel Valve used for testing the new Steam Machine is slick! I want one for all my devices.

Watching Better Call Saul for the first time, so far so good. Was a huge Breaking Bad fan, and I think I'm gunna like this at least as much, albeit for different reasons.

*loud and annoyingly audible sight with a slight groan*

After using many different #fediverse softwares and frontends, I have come to the conclusion that boost grouping should be considered table stakes, and I think per-user top-level post grouping is a natural extension of that (but I don't know any frontend that does that). One person who […]

good morning fam

Game of the Year is just whatever the narcissists on Twitch get addicted to the most.

Currently obsessed with Denver Biscuit Company, which is terrible for both my wallet and health. It's so delicious, though.

There are some days where it’s a good idea to just put down the internet altogether and try again tomorrow.

Happy pizza night to all who celebrate <3 🍕

I think the #mastodon web app should have account switching like the mobile app does. It's kind of a pain switching between two accounts on the same instance.

My lunch was way too much. I'm still full like three hours later.

Breakfast food is the ultimate comfort food.

RE: https://indieweb.social/@bonfire/115507615653471686 Really excited about Bonfire's launch! Along with their first release, they started a fundraiser for their roadmap, which includes projects with us at @anewsocial to integrate with Bridgy Fed and Bounce 🙂 More details coming in a blog […]

[U.S. Pol] Literally trying to keep food away from poor people so they can try to blame it on Dems. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2025/11/07/trump-administration-snap-food-november-appeal/87144767007/

FOSS-TO-DON!

RE: https://fosstodon.org/@fosstodon/115503757832172190 We've got quote posts now.

The third release candidate for Mastodon 4.5 is ready! It addresses UX concerns regarding quotes and post privacy, now warning when you quote someone in a followers-only post, and preventing quotes in Private Mentions. It also includes a few other bugfixes. We are planning to release the […]

Now we just have to keep this momentum going for another year.

We should all feel good about the elections tonight.

Just got the funniest delivery photo I've seen.

RE: https://actu.blois.fr/@villedeblois/115486831898803392 Welcome, @villedeblois! We are happy to help, and work with more cities or other civic organisations that want to join the Fediverse!

Why we call it booting :blobcatgiggle:

Pathfinder is so ficking good. Give it a shot and you won’t want to go back to 5e.
