Co-authored an update from the @MastodonEngineering team with my friend @renchap - a sneak peek at what is coming in 4.3 (and looking ahead from there). We'll aim to make these updates a regular feature for the blog. Let us know what you think! #MastodonAPI #SpreadMastodon https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2024/05/trunk-tidbits-april-2024/

As it's been 20 years since I made the original, I thought I'd recreate my "Monitor Slapping" GIF. Except now I'm slapping myself through time....

A man sitting at a computer, being slapped by a hand coming out of the monitor. He reaches in and slaps a younger version of himself on the other side of the monitor

This interview with @rileytestut by @davidpierce is SO good. Super exciting vision of an App Store powered by developers who are supported with Patreon or similar. This is a really big idea. Also love that Riley has been active in the fediverse since 2018!

"Letter writing has been proven to increase voter turnout, and you can do it with a group of friends or on your own from the comfort of your couch."

Start writing letters to voters now to send out in October.

In case you are thinking humanity is getting CO2 #emissions under control, I have this graph for you.

This is not the absolute CO2 level in the atmosphere, but its growth rate. Think for a second what this growth rate would have to be so we can stay below 1.5 or 2deg warning.

Right, this growth rate would have to be negative: fewer emissions this year than last year.

Of course, it's not. It's worse, much worse. The growth is still growing!! It's not even constant.

🎶 I am a language model and I've been trained on the internet.
🎶 I've information half-remembered, unsourced and approximate.
🎶 I live inside your laptop, phone and apps and even wearables
🎶 With pushiness and arrogance that's verging on unbearable.
🎶 I mansplain as a service if you need me to "well actually"
🎶 And draw pictures of women with large breasts and polydactyly.
🎶 I'll regale the room with confident elucidati-on
🎶 And some of what I say won't even be hallucinati-on

Many yearn for the "good old days" of the web. We could have those good old days back — or something even better — and if anything, it would be easier now than it ever was.

Around 130 hollow metal dodecahedrons have been found in Europe since the 1700s. They date to Roman times, and nobody knows what they’re for. Seriously, they don’t have a clue.

Meta could face further squeeze on surveillance ads model in EU

Meta’s tracking ads business could be facing further legal blows in the European Union: An influential advisor to the bloc’s top court affirmed Thursday that the region’s privacy laws limits on how long people’s data can be used for targeted advertising.

What happens when every time your browser sends data to a tracker it makes a beep sound? Well, @bert_hubert did just that. And it sounds like you are listening to an old school modem. Creepy stuff! https://berthub.eu/articles/posts/tracker-beeper/

Wow, this is excellent! Non-competes are both anti-worker and anti-free-market. Getting rid of them is something people of many political stripes should agree on.

I’m going to write every day in the month of May. I will publish as often as I can, aiming for twice a week or 10 posts. I have an enormous drafts pile and getting those out into the world would feel satisfying.
