I'm super excited that Osa Atoe @potterybyosa just joined #Mastodon !!!!!

She's a well known and super talented #artist, teacher, activist and leader in the USA (and international) #pottery and #craft circles.

Having someone like her on Mastodon is a big deal.

She just joined and doesn't have many followers (yet), but hopefully you will give her a follow and boost her profile so that she feels welcome on this platform.

@potterybyosa
Welcome to Mastodon, Osa!!!

We are a small independent bookshop in Chemnitz, Germany and were told that we have to do social media. We decided that if we had to do social media, then our first account would be with Mastodon. :) Hello Mastodon!

COCAINE is my God – – and I am the human INSTRUMENT of its will!“ “UHHHHH!” the Guardian grunts as he’s hit. (remote)

The default (and usually correct) answer for anything with an A77, A73, A55, or A53 core is "as little as the architecture will allow", but that's not the same thing as an accurate answer. It's really frustrating.

Saw a post on bsky that bsky harbors transphobes, twitter is a nazi bar and meta is doing carve outs specifically so it's OK to harass queer people and lamenting "where are we supposed to go"

It's fedi. You're supposed to go to fedi. It's right here. I know it's full of smelly nerds* but you can either have a slick corporate interface with bigots or the Linux of social media without. Maybe it's time to put up with the smelly nerds and the jank

Mediatek likely sold a LOT of Helio G99 chips in, e.g., the the Samsung Galaxy A24:

Can anyone tell me what the sizes of the caches are? Lol, no:

One incredibly dispiriting thing about the low-end is that most of the chips that make up the volume segment of the market are basically undocumented. No public product data sheets, and the coverage in Wikipedia is...perfunctory. *sigh*

Our forebearers fought for the right to fly these flags, to have them accepted and seen as a symbol of our people. To reduce the transgender flag to “candy floss” is an insult and a mockery of the hard, tough work that our people have done. This theme has existed on Facebook for years and years and years. Suddenly, one president in one country changes and apparently it’s the rest of the world’s problem?

🥁 Announcing the Public Domain Image Archive! 🥁

We are very excited to share our new sister-project, the Public Domain Image Archive (PDIA), a curated collection of more than 10,000 out-of-copyright historical images, all free to explore and reuse.

Our aim is to offer a platform that will serve both as a practical resource and a place to simply wander — an ever-growing portal to discover more than 2000 years of visual culture.

Start exploring here: https://pdimagearchive.org/ @pdimagearchive

The moderation policy changes at Meta are deeply troubling and should be a concern to anyone with a conscience. While the fediverse is a decentralized platform where different service providers have different moderation policies, at mastodon.social, hate speech is prohibited, and we will take action on any Threads account found violating our policies. I would strongly urge anyone with a Threads account to reconsider their alignment with the new direction at Meta and move to Mastodon instead.

@GottaLaff
Now that I've read the DOJ brief, it's even more obvious that this is the maximum possible win. (I should have read the brief first thing. The rest of you galoots should read it, too. Link: https://www.democracydocket.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/dojopposition.pdf)

The DOJ plans to release Volume One of the SC report, on the election interference case. That's massive.

But it is not releasing Volume 2, which relates to presently pending litigation against Nauta et al. Well, duhhh. *Of course* they don't want to prejudice pending litigation. This is simply proper procedure.

You there in the back, with the grumpy expression and hand raised? No, I'm not thrilled either that Trump evades prosecution for that stuff. A few million fools voted that situation into existence, though, so we're stuck with it. Thank you for attending my Ted talk.
