Software for pay, hardware for play.
Also software for play.
And video games, which I guess are also just software.
flat tires suck. flat tires that are corroded onto the car suck even harder.
after cussing quietly to myself and repeatedly kicking it failed, some nice stranger said i should take the lug nuts halfway out and drive back and forth a few feet. this (eventually) broke the corrosion, and i was able to get home.
thanks, random helpful dude downtown!
@d_run yeah I wish there was a way to browse the timeline for a different instance and follow people from it instead of having to know the users to search for explicitly
my uncle works at mastodon and he gave me the cheat code for unlocking the secret fifth column that gets you unlimited toots and invicibility
I want a bot that uses NLP to determine what percentage of the toots it sees are meta toots about mastodon itself...
--
My hypothesis: a fairly large portion of #metadon toots. Maybe almost as large as the subset of toots in the format "@personA @personB :pineapple:"

Instagram: My life is a party.
Snapchat: My life is a quirky TV show.
Facebook: My life turned out great!
Twitter: We're all going to die.
Mastodon: Don't worry, while we are on a quirky, meandering path towards an inevitable apocalypse, we might as well enjoy the ride and show eachother some love in an unorthodox, yet irresistible manner, not in any way hindered by considerations of style, identity or consistency.
Even if I wasn't into the FOSS/decentralized/federated model here, the fact that it doesn't have THAT ONE GUY's toots makes Mastodon worth its weight in gold
everybody talks about dying alone like its a bad thing. if you dont die alone youre either with a bunch of sad people which really brings down the mood tbh or you're with happy people which means theyre probably why youre dying to begin with
Visited the RSS memorial today. After all these years, it's still amazing to see the lightning hit itβevery hour, on the hourβand then watch as the sparks ripple out to the aggregator towers at all the cemeteries that are still subscribed.
So I thought it'd be a cool privacy feature for Mastodon to automatically strip EXIF metadata from photos (e.g. GPS latlong, date, etc.). Turns out Eugen already thought of that! π https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/issues/85
I even checked some uploaded photos with ImageMagick; they're all empty! BTW here's the EXIF data from a typical photo I took on my Nexus 5X. I really did have to make the text that small to fit.
Secret admin blocklists are equivalent to secret laws and secret trials in apespace, or Twitter shadowbans. They're a process, but not a legitimate one.
Local vs Fed TL preference poll current standings
Local TL: 2
Fed TL: everyone else
I haven't yet seen a single mastodon instance use .com or .org, every one I've come across has a TLD created in the last several years
plastic hexagons rule
So the first thing I 3D printed was just a hexagon that says "plastic hexagons rule". Because they do.
My first day of 3D printing. Loving that you can use Hilbert curves for infill. Not the most efficient but c'mon, space-filling curves are just rad.
Man that rush of dopamine when you post a toot and start hearing the little notification sounds. If this isn't Pavlov conditioning I don't know what is help
A thank you to my friend Sam, who is not on the fediverse and will thus never see this, for some delicious coffee
Some instances seem to be very talkative. Check that! :open_mouth: https://mastodon.xyz/media/wd75kLCFe_qKa2fiLFk
