Got inspiration for some new insults from this pet store. (Tag yourself, etc)

Do you know what style guide is most common in book publishing in the UK?

@ijk64 @unamccormack @wleisner @Scifibulletin Nah. I don't take sides on commas. But you don't wanna get me started on semicolons ... 😊

Oh good the fractals are here

When you ride a bicycle, you're part of the neighborhood.
When you're in a car, you're just passing through.

@kevinswiber My thoughts on this are that we need to stop devaluing online relationships. Written communication can be just as rich, if not more, than verbal communication. Why is a relationship with the random person who moved into the home next door more important than the one with someone I met in an online community that has a shared interest? Just as society have dismissed remote work as been lesser than in person, we are going to discover that digital friendships are valuable

most brutal take on mastodon yet

I am once again asking you to stop using LastPass. The company has a history of security issues dating back years, and has yet to make holistic security improvements — or heck even investigate incidents properly.

Good alternatives:

- 1Password is my #1 rec, best for most use cases
- Bitwarden if you want open source
- KeePassXC if you want local vaults and open source
- I hear ok things about Dashlane but don’t know a ton

PARENT: "Have you finished writing your letter to Santa?"

CHILD: "I don't believe in Santa anymore. Now I believe in a decentralized network of independently operating elves who federate using an open protocol called ActivityPub to share information about children's Christmas wishes and source gifts to fulfill them"

Washington Post will be creating their own instance. They will add #mastodon accounts to journalist profiles.

Institutional #journalism embracing the #fediverse is important.

Ill be posting some past work on here, seeing the great response from my current project. This is an 1959 IBM 1401, 1:16 scale, scratch build, 100% hand made

This old tree produces no leaves, shows no sign of life but it's home to many creatures. A thing of beauty in my eyes.

47. And the pressure from the FBI on social media platforms continues

In Aug 2022, Twitter execs prepared for a meeting with the FBI, whose goal was “to convince us to produce on more FBI EDRs"

EDRs are an “emergency disclosure request,” a warrantless search.
