For those new to Mastodon, here are some handy tips on getting the most out of your experience:

1. Follow a lot of people

2. Follow a lot of people

3. Follow a lot of people

4. Follow a lot of people

5. You can always un-follow them later, if you want to 😋

Also, click on and then follow hashtags that interest you, like #Music or #Books or #ClimateChange or especially #FollowFriday, and discover more good people to follow.

Remember, YOU are the algorithm!

I thought I knew how screwed up #English pronunciation was.

Today I had to teach my kid how to pronounce the variations of ‘s’ sound in the word “house” in singular, plural, possessive, noun, and verb form.

Just remembered and then noticed something yesterday concerning Pixelfed.

I remembered that there used to be talk about being able to create text post or at least being able to read text posts if, for example, you follow a Mastodon account with your Pixelfed account. In the settings you can opt-in to see text-only posts, but in Pixelfed itself, you don't see them. :blobthinking:

Has it been removed and forgotten about in the settings..?

Attacco al Comune di Ferrara: Rhysida ha colpito! Complimenti a Massimo Paoletti per la gestione della comunicazione, prendiamolo come esempio

Come abbiamo riportato nella giornata di ieri, un attacco informatico ha colpito il Comune di Ferrara che è stato costretto a spegnere parzialmente le infrastrutture IT per evitare il diffondersi del malware. Questo era stato annunciato dal Comune con uno specifico comunicato stampa, ma anche con un post su LinkedIn da Massimo Peoletti, Dirigente Servizio […]

This is a good explanation of what the deal is with the color palette and artefacting on older Apple IIs. https://paleotronic.com/2018/10/03/apple-ii-colour-computer-graphics/

• Screencap of the Apple II Game 221b Baker Street. White text on black background with the Apple II's characteristic green and purple fringing effects at the edges of the letters. The text reads, "Character Selection Screen. Mark, select 1, 2, 3, or 4. 1 - Sherlock Holmes. 2 - Doctor Watson. 3 - Inspector Lestrade. 4 - Irene Adler." Next to each character name is a small full-body rendering of the character and then a close-up of their face. Sherlock is drawn in blue, orange and white, Watson the same. Lestrade is drawn in white, green and violet, and Irene Adler in green white and orange.
• A screencap from the same game, this time showing Watson standing on a boardgame-like map of a city drawn in roughly oblique projection. He's in the lower left corner of the screen in front of (presumably) 221b Baker Street. Also visible is a large bank, a pharmacy, and another house. Text at the bottom of the screen reads, "Watson. It's your turn! Hit space bar or button to roll." Bottom center, the number 6 is displayed. Bottom right, the portrait of Watson that appeared on the character select screen.

We have to talk about #Brexit.

It is a fallacy to assume #Bregret is a new thing. It has been a feature of the data for a long time. The data has just been misread by many political commentators, political scientists and media.

This is also a means of #introduction. I am a Professor of Economics at University of Warwick studying the #PoliticalEconomy of #Brexit, among others. My work particularly focuses on understanding the role that #Austerity played in bringing about #Brexit.

An obscure floppy disk format from the mid-1980s, the Casio Disk Sheet SD-1. It was used in the CasioWord HW-120 word-processor via a built-in drive, plus some other models via an external drive, the MD-10.

On Monday's Oxide and Friends, @bcantrill and I were joined by the @oxidecomputer operations team to discuss the logistics of shipping out our first rack. We often hear about incredible hardware or software, but operations is often the forgotten third leg of the stool without which nothing would go. With a product this big, even the crate is a serious undertaking!

“Stifling heat is also blanketing parts of Texas, which for weeks earlier this summer sweltered under a record-shattering heat dome which one analysis found was made five times more likely by the climate crisis.

“Challenges from right-wing activists have proliferated in Georgia despite strict federal laws governing how voters can be removed from rolls. That’s in part because state and local election officials have struggled to figure out how to reconcile SB 202 with federal protections. This has resulted in counties handling challenges inconsistently, sometimes in ways that experts warn may have violated federal law, something they say may have been the case with Schneider”

Close to 100,000 Voter Registrations Were Challenged in #Georgia — Almost All by Just Six Right-Wing Activists

The recent transformation of the state’s #election laws explicitly enabled citizens to file unlimited challenges to other voters’ registrations.

Experts warn that election officials’ handling of some of those challenges may clash with federal law.

#Twitter continues to circle the drain, and #TwitterDown has become essentially a continuous state, #ElonMusk is now apparently blocking Threads on Twitter, but you have to wonder: Who can tell, since Twitter works so poorly & limits what you can see when you can get it to work? Also, #Elon is being sued for the 1/2 of a billion dollars he owes his former staff who he fired without cause. That will definitely help Twitter's valuation immensely. https://variety.com/2023/digital/news/twitter-reports-glitches-outages-1235667776/
