I have a few NexDocks for convergence (though not the 360) and what's turned me off from getting any more is the touchpads are consistently *awful*. Phantom clicks with even the lightest touch and they only emulate a mouse, so those nice multitouch gestures in GNOME are forever out of reach
If that's changed with the 360 I'm interested, but my understanding from those who've bought one is it hasn't. I'd be glad to be wrong though!

If you've arrived from Twitter and you want to find your friends from Twitter on here, there are some tools to do this:
🐦 Debirdify
pruvisto.org/debirdify
🔍 Fedifinder
fedifinder.glitch.me
🐑 Flock
mastodon-flock.vercel.app
Twitter said they were shutting down the API these tools rely on last Monday, but this doesn't seem to have happened yet.
So, for the moment these tools work, but they could stop working at any moment. If you're going to use them, this is possibly last chance to do so.

Also seeing this problem and wondering if it is a regression in a recent version since previously adding accounts was possible on my android device.

members of our team have commented in the issue, yes.
Additional info is always useful,
Are you on the latest version? On beta? Or nightly? (yes, 3 different options, but basically the about info should show you which version number you're running)
Are you trying to log in with a Mastodon account or another ActivityPub account?

Picked up a Fuji X-Pro1 11 years ago while I was still using mostly Canon. Today I have a whole family of X-trans sensor Fujis (and one of these is my daughter's camera, with another in "joint custody mode" between the two of us).
More than happy with this camera and sensor system. So happy I started to box up my final Canon lenses for sale today.

Would be curious to hear your thoughts on it.
Skimming the announcement it seems they're toying with static, context-driven ads - e.g., you view a page about something JS-related, maybe you get an ad for a JS tool from MSFT.
You know - old school web advertising.

A recent #Thunderbird Daily build introduced a nice, subtle change to the Application menu, aligning it with the window action buttons.
And a small green dot indicates that an update is available.
Thoughts?
I just downloaded the daily and had a quick look to see what kind of direction it is going in.
It's shaping up beautifully. The amount of progress that has been made since I last looked (just last December) is seriously impressive. Onwards and upwards!
Today I learned that some flame out sensors have reset buttons.

I can believe this, having worked in the wireless industry for six years. 5 with the fruit company. A year with vzw. Carrier systems let you do more than the fruit company's systems do. It's the same with pretty much any authorized retailor that sells iPhones. If you have a simple upgrade to do, you're fine going into an Apple store, assuming you're with one of the four major carriers. But if you're doing installments with a smaller carrier, go to them directly. If you have multiple upgrades, as in more than two, your carrier will probably be able to help you faster using their systems. Apple retail cannot answer questions about your phone bill, cannot change your plan without performing an upgrade, and you need additional documentation if you're an AT&T customer trying to add a line out of state. This is because fraudsters like to go to Apple stores to buy iPhones instead of AT&T directly. And I'm sure there's more I'm missing since I haven't worked at a store in awhile. Point is, any edge case or slight variance in a traditional process would make us send you to your carrier, back when I worked there. Because we couldn't do certain things systematically, or it would just be too slow for us to do what the customer was trying to do.
