Sharing my plans for #MastodonForHarris fundraiser: Incredibly, it is now conceivable that we will hit the current target of $125,000 soon, maybe even today. When we do, I will adjust the target. I hope I have been clear from the beginning; each target is a a benchmark, not an endpoint. 1/ secure.actblue.com/donate/mast…
in reply to Heidi Li Feldman

I am continuing my efforts to contact key people in digital, outreach, and elsewhere in the Harris campaign. Eventually, I will get through, I’m sure. I’d like to have a list ready of qualified volunteers who could assist the campaign in understanding Mastodon and the Fediverse, setting up and maintaining an instance, and so forth. If you are interested in being contacted should an opportunity arise, please provide your details here opnform.com/forms/mfh-tech-vol…. 2/ #MastodonForHarris

Open Source or Shut Down MastoMetrics?

Every day multiple people sign up for @mastometrics, but hosting is burning a hole in my pocket and I don't have much time to maintain it.

I'm open to cleaning up my code and making it self hostable as well as accepting code contributions. However, I still need donations to fund the free / flagship server.

So here's my pledge and call to you:

Ensure MastoMetrics stays online and help me reach €1500 donations: ko-fi.com/robertvh

Boosts = ❤️

Hey, don't use umap for this. You can use mapcomplete.org/benches instead - then you can add more information in a structured way and even add images, and the data will be available in many apps such as OsmQnd, Organic Maps and many more.

I didn’t write it, but I sunk enough time into looking for it that I decided to host it

Heads up for Linux @thunderbird users: We have seen an issue where the new tray icon isn't rendering on daily.

Long story short it kinda helps if you install TB-symbolic.svg in `mach install` !

Please adjust your packaging for daily to ensure TB-symbolic.svg is now accounted for in chrome/icons/default/ - we've got `mach install` fixed now xD

I was just researching what is the best washing machine cleaning product, and tripped over a delightful five-star review on Amazon, wherein, after describing the olfactory crisis that precipitated the purchase in the first place, the author of the review said with great approval, "My washer stopped smelling like American politics after I used this product."

As I was looking for something to listen to this early morning, I’ve found this really interesting fantasy drama about an 11-year-old boy who has to fight evil at a young age. How exciting! I’m sharing so you can listen, too. You know your inner child wants to. ☺️📻🔉 #TheDarkIsRising by Susan Cooper #BBCRadioDrama bbc.co.uk/sounds/brand/w13xtvp…


Na mamutovo.cz občas narážím na účty, u kterých se nestáhl avatar a případně další informace. Viz třeba účet jimmac na přiloženém screenshotu. Už jsem si také všiml chybějících reakcí, které jdou vidět na původním serveru. To jsou ty problémy velmi malých Mastodon instancí? @zdendys
in reply to Jakub Cabal

@Jakub Cabal @Zdendys Koukám, že mě se nejen nestahuje avatar, ale z profilu se nezobrazuje vůbec nic, ani plné jméno. Tak to asi můžu plány na socializaci zabalit.

Já třeba tady z tohoto účtu na mastodonczech.cz dlouho neviděl profilovou na alt účtu na mamutovo @tensob_@mamutovo.cz

I mostly agree here. I haven't read the Doctorow piece. But I've been having a similar conversation within my professional circles. Yes Crowdstrike screwed up. But humans are gonna screw up. We know this. So rather than discussing who to blame, the better discussion is how so many companies found themselves exposed with no way of taking control of what was happening to their systems.

Case in counter-point: you could call it broken ticket-toss buck-pass subculture perversely incentivized.

We said "no agent complexity, or if you must, it will have phased and tested/metered roll-outs of changes". We were adamantly overruled. They said "we accept the risk of total revenue outage if this agent breaks catastrophically" and (Catch-22) "you must still ensure no outage" and "you must get budget elsewhere to completely re-engineer your service".

It's happening again!!! They're trying to put the Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA) up for a vote:

thehill.com/policy/technology/…

As I've written in the past, KOSA is a censorship nightmare that'll drive LGBTQIA+ folks out of social media spaces and suppress any content that Republicans think is harmful to kids.

Please call your reps NOW, especially your Senators. If you have a Republican senator, tell them you're worried this bill will impose an unfair burden on small businesses.

#BVerfG #Rechtsstaat #Demokratie #noAfD

Zwei Aspekte scheinen mir bei dem Projekt zur Absicherung der #Unabhängigkeit des BVerfG besonders bemerkenswert:

- die demokratischen Kräfte haben sich in einer sehr komplexen Problematik auf sachliche Kompromisse geeinigt + treten gemeinsam dafür ein

- alle haben darauf verzichtet, "Pakete" mit Themen zu schnüren, die nix damit zu tun haben.

So geht Demokratie.

Hier die Zusammenfassung der geplanten Regelungen :

Here’s what parenting can look like.

When I told my dad I was trans, my dad’s response was, “Oh! I can send you jewelry now!” (He was retired and made jewelry as a hobby).

Two days latter, I had a letter in the mail addressed to Joelle, the first time “Joelle” ever got mail, with a necklace in it. Later he made me this one. He told me, “I hope I got the colors right, I looked it up online.”

You don’t have to mourn a child transitioning. You can be the first to do so many affirming things.
