What Mastodon clients are people using on Android?

Ive been using mobile Web interface for the longest time and it's fine, but wanted an app with multi account support to help with bot wrangling.

Tusky is good, but it doesn't support long press on links for sharing and it's bugging me.

I'm not short of love for interesting hardware and novel interfaces efforts, but not if they're a thin wrapper around a scam. I hope this doesn't sink Teenage Engineering by association.

After redoing my desk setup the other day, I was reminded of how annoying it is to have my tools on my workbench in the shed, so I spent some time today addressing that.

I visited Sizewell B Nuclear Power Station training centre yesterday with @8none1 @sil and @ben . This keyboard got quite the attention.

Triumph of the small local shop today: all the chain stores (B&M, Argos, The Range etc.) didn't sell shoe brushes. Thought of giving the local market a go, found one in less than a minute and at a bargain price - so cheap in fact that I'm not sure how they make any money after deducting the wholesale price and card processing fees (I hope they were legit as they took payment on a mobile phone rather than a machine).

What is the best solution for getting a consistently up-to-date version of node on an Ubuntu server?

In the past I have been very happy with nvm in the "I am a developer installing a copy of node just for invoking in my user account" but now I'm discovering nvm… only works in that configuration, and considers "multiple users" as permanently outside the scope of what they will intentionally support. This is awkward in a server configuration.

Q: Is 23 less then twenty five ?
A: No, 23 is not less than 25.

and #gpt4all (nous hermes 2 mistral DPO) which is somehow even worse

"
Q: Is 23 less then twenty five ?
A: No, 23 is not less than 25. In fact, it is greater by 2 units (25 - 23 = 2).

Zen Internet seems to have chosen today (of all days) for its network to have a little lie down? Any other #ZenInternet users out there having issues?

I had a weird realization today:
You know how I make terrible keyboards? It turns out I can also made good keyboards!

Well, kinda. I had this silly gamer keyboard I kept around because it was small and I used it when I needed a random USB keyboard, but it was horrible to use. No contrast on the key labels...

but wait I have a bunch of keycaps since I'm a keyboard-making punk. what if I just put some onto it... and now it's readable! and looks snappy!

On May 10, Ncuti Gatwa starts his first full season as the Doctor — the first Black and first openly queer man to take on the role. Entertainment Weekly talked to him about the responsibility he feels to get things right. “I was really cautious about getting it right throughout filming,” the Rwandan-Scottish actor explains. “It’s 60 years’ worth of legacy and 60 years’ worth of a show that people have loved and watched with their families. It lives in people’s hearts, so I really wanted to protect that.”

I've been enjoying the Fallout TV series. I know nothing about the game or whatever it's based on (I don't play games) but I don't feel like I'm missing out. (Perhaps I am, but it doesn't feel frustrating.)

The fact that every mainstream news site is now locked behind a paywall is a real boon for the spread of misinformation, because very few right wing sites have paywalls — which means their disinfo and propaganda can spread much more easily. Paywalls are a slow motion disaster.
