People have been trying to use Threads to follow the news about the war in Israel, and Meta is still wholesale blocking searches on dozens of words, downranking journalism, and does not seem to want news on its platform at all

StreetPass now displays user avatars! This feature's a long time coming, and even took me contributing a small code change to the recent Mastodon 4.2 update 😉 https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/26558

Along with that, the entire UI's been tightened up a bit -- hope y'all like it!

Available for all major browsers at https://streetpass.social

The fact my feed isn’t full of @lisamelton makes me wonder if we lost her to the Threads chaos too

Has anyone done a good comparison of #ebikes vs #eScooters? Mainly because I’m on the fence on both

If you ask an AI evangelist to explain how generative AI works and they can’t answer they’re probably a scammer.

I mean even if they can, that tends to be the first big barrier in sorting out the posers

I have a Lenovo T480 I want to install #Linux onto but need to decide on a distro. I don’t think I want to do Ubuntu, what distro should I go with? (General use, light code work)

I downloaded Baldur’s Gate 3.
Went in 100% blind.
Rolled up my character.
Very first battle.
Very first attack.
I died.
I died to my own spell.
I died to my own spell in the tutorial.

…

Oh, no. I suck.

Props to all the engineers out there with adhd who can stay on task because I can literally only program when I am working on something I’m hyper fixated on

I’m stuck waiting for a decision that will greatly impact my life and can’t comfort myself in any of the usual ways because they are all things I’m going to lose if the decision doesn’t go well

Losing my job is oddly the least stressful thing to happen to me this week and I’m more concerned about how I’m going to move myself, a cat, and a snake and still be able to provide for them

Moving is forcing me to finally cull my pile of cables. I don’t need 50 USB C to A cables

Glad to know the ai uprising is still being hampered by curly hair. (Seriously what is with no avatar system getting that right?)

How many people have to believe something before it becomes truth?
