Emotionally wrung out after my counselling session. I was supposed to join an online journaling group at 3pm but I was far too tearful. I’m weepy because the counsellor was NICE and VALIDATING and concerned with my wellbeing and happiness. These things make me come undone

Given that Mastodon now has an ex Twitter founder board member and Bluesky does not.
Are we being consequential and move over to Bluesky or was that reason against Bluesky and ATP just a petty argument because of "not invented here" syndrome?
Both are open source solutions and from a technical perspective I think ATproto is the much better designed system for a decentralized social network.
Self hosting for yourself is actually viable on ATproto without being a hobby SysAdmin.

@timonsku Serious, if possibly rude answer:

Given that there's little to no evidence Jack Dorsey was involved with Bluesky for the last couple years he was on the board, and the Mastodon board member you're referring to doesn't appear to have any sort of decisionmaking capability and appears to be present to fulfill U.S. legal/tax requirements, I'd say both these objections are fundamentally emotional ones, and there's no especially reasonable reason to act on either of them

mcc,
@mcc@mastodon.social avatar

@timonsku Meanwhile, since the "Jack Dorsey!" objection to Bluesky was probably primarily emotional/"snarling" to begin with, probably removing that objection does not mean "…so now you have different emotions and will have a different opinion on bluesky!", rather it means that for anyone who was saying that before you're gonna have to dig deeper to figure out what underlying reasons were causing them to have those negative emotions in the first place.

Of which there are some good reasons, imo

⚠️ I am aware there are still issues with mstdn.social and I'm still working on fixing it all❤️

Everything should work as intended except sometimes things could be a little slow :sad_cat:

I've been in talks with the devs for some days to try and solve this issue and we'll keep going until it's fixed

All I ask is a little understanding and patience :cat_hug_triangle: I'll be posting less since I'm working on this from the moment I wake up until I go to sleep again but do know I'm working on it!

If for no other reason*, I support a mask requirement at #PyConUS because the kind of person who doesn’t attend because they’re required to mask is the kind of person who I don’t want to hang out with anyway.

(* and there are lots of other good reasons too)

i've been working on a project with a Pico W and DVI output that includes weather data. we're having a thunderstorm so that means a rare appearance of the pixelated lightning bolt sprite

@MLE_online indeed, @ecken originally drew them for a pyportal project (https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_Learning_System_Guides/tree/main/PyPortal/PyPortal_Titano_Weather_Station/icons) and then i resized them recently for an rgb matrix project and luckily that size and color profile ended up being a good fit for DVI

A fleet of #Boeing airplanes has been found to have a potential electrical flaw near a fuel tank that aviation regulators fear could cause an explosion.

Boeing 777 liners are at risk of “electrostatic discharge” near its center-wing fuel tank, which could possibly cause it to catch fire and explode, according to the Federal Aviation Administration.
