Wait wait wait a minute! What the hell is this? Why does #Tesla have a really shitty implementation of a Roland GM/GS synth in it? No mute groups for example? This is just utter junk! youtu.be/xOfGuBvAGlQ

Dnešní #hádanka byla trochu těžší, ale vítězové jsou @vaso a @amarok
Na obrázku chybělo písmeno R. Je to schéma řazení na pětistupňové převodovce. Vítězům posílám zlatého bludišťáka 🤗 :clapping:

Dlouho nebyla #hádanka 😀
Přijdete na to, jaký znak patří místo otazníku na následující obrázek?

El programa medioambiental de #Sumar: impuesto a la industria fósil y a los lujos de los ricos.

On European social media we often discuss American issues and talk to Americans on social media - but doesn't it make sense for us to talk more to Nigerians, South Africans and Kenyans, and about their news, because that's who's awake at the same time as us?

Let me know if you are from these time zones, in #Africa, and I will follow you.

If Forrest Gump & Lt. Dan hypothetically invested $100,000 for a 3% stake in Apple in 1975, it would be worth $90 billion today at Apple's current market cap of ~$3 trillion.

The Dutch government has officially launched their own Mastodon server, State Secretary of Digitalisation @avhuffelen announced today! The server lives on the official domain of the Dutch government, at social.overheid.nl.

The Secretary mentions in her announcement a letter to the government explaining her support for 'value-driven alternative social networks', such as Mastodon. For more information on that, check out

There we go, matridge first public commit!

It's an #XMPP server component acting as a #Matrix puppeteering gateway, based on slidge. It only supports public unencrypted group chats for now, but has cool features such as emoji reactions, rich replies and message retractions.

Ok, I think I have to describe the problem a bit better.
Even as you say that encryption takes place on device locally, device needs a way to get a public key of recipient. How does device do that? Right! By asking the server! But why the client should trust that it's really original key of recipient and not the replaced one by your server, guys?
Every really secure e2e messenger has a way to verify authenticity of second party. But your application has nothing to solve this.

Megacorp execs were interviewed about the #WGA strike & were quoted saying their goal was to "break the WGA," and to drag things out "until #union members start losing their apartments and homes"

After corporate counsel reminded the execs of *labor laws*, an update was released saying that actually the execs did not want to make workers homeless in retaliation for exercising labor rights because that would violate #labor laws so its all a big misunderstanding

The Sakya Monastery in tibet has a library comprising some 84,000 books. Most are Buddhist scriptures, but there are works of literature, history, philosophy, astronomy, mathematics, agriculture, and art. They date back centuries.

In 2011 they began to digitize the library. All books are indexed and about 20% have been fully digitized.

I've been messing about with the Lemmy 🔁 Mastodon interop today and it has BLOWN MY MIND. 🤯

This excellent post from @vjprema explains how to use #Lemmy from your #Mastodon account. Amazing.

As @evan says, don't bet against the #fediverse.

This thing is 🔥.

I wrote some software¹: git-backdate allows you to change the dates on a (range of) commit to a given time frame. For perfectly good reasons. 😇

Includes flags to keep the commits inside of or outside of business hours. Also for perfectly good reasons. 😈

It has come to my attention that there's a #BlackSabbath parody band called #MacSabbath that changes all the lyrics to be about fast food, and now I need you all to see this too.

If you were stargazing on Mars, you could watch the dance of the Earth & Moon in your evening sky. ESA's Mars Express just made a little sped-up movie of what you'd see. (Both Earth & Moon would be easily visible to the naked eye.) esa.int/Science_Exploration/Sp… #science #space #astrodon

I am not sure if Nick Sousanis is here on Mastodon (I don't think so) but his latest work around how to create comics accessible for blind and low vision readers is fascinating and an intriguing look at how to extend a visual literacy (comics) into the audio/text reader world.

In case you missed it, all links on Mastodon count as 23 characters towards your limit, no matter how many characters the link really is.

So, you don't need to use link shorteners on Mastodon as they won't actually affect the link's length.

Mastodon does this because it's better for everyone's privacy to avoid link shortener services, it means people can see what they're clicking on, and the link won't stop working if the shortener service shuts down.

12% of Americans live in California - but 30% of homeless Americans, and 50% of unsheltered Americans, call California "home." This prompts endless schadenfreude from "red state" partisans, and is waved as proof of the failure of liberal policies. But the real story is both more complicated - and simpler.

Please indulge me for a moment while I extend some enthusiastic appreciation to @ryangorley and @freehive.

I worked with FreeHive for several months on the new @thunderbird home page (check it out at thunderbird.net), and the final result far exceeded my expectations.

This is why I'm going to work with them to redesign the entire site over the next several months.

Ryan, you and your team make #opensource look GREAT!
