So I gave an old set of AirPods to a friend after removing them from Find My, but when we open the case it still says "Not your AirPods, Christian will be able to see your location". Held down the button on the back for 15 seconds, etc. What do?

@iftas @evan What is interesting about this is that almost every account (except one) I have clicked on is Spanish and have introduction posts saying that they love nature and want to post about wildlife.
And if you look up the TikTok account mentioned in most profiles, it's just 3 years of regular posting of local nature crudely filmed on a phone: https://www.tiktok.com/@videoabsurdos
Is this some long-game spam or someone that doesn't understand you have to be registered on every Mastodon instance?
I brought a 3.5” floppy disk into my lab. One of my interns said “oh cool, you 3D printed the save icon!”
I spontaneously broke my hip.
@lizzard Yay and thanks and congrats!

"Before GPS became an everyday utility, it was a hard mathematical problem.
In the 1950s–70s, Gladys West, a mathematician at the U.S. Naval Surface Warfare Center in Dahlgren, Virginia, worked on one of the most difficult challenges in satellite navigation: accurately modeling the Earth itself.
Modern GPS accuracy depends on:
• Precise satellite ephemerides
• Accurate gravitational field modeling
• Correct Earth reference frames
West’s work directly advanced all three.
Her contributions weren’t widely recognized at the time. In fact, it wasn’t until 2018 that she was inducted into the U.S. Air Force Space and Missile Pioneers Hall of Fame—decades after GPS reshaped global navigation, logistics, finance, defense, and mobile computing...
Before GPS could tell us where we are, someone had to define what the Earth actually looks like—mathematically…”

Walter Koroshetz was head of NIH's neurology institute for a decade. In 2017, when I was a research patient at NIH in an ME/CFS study, he spent 90 minutes one evening talking to my late partner, Beth Mazur, about ME/CFS and how NIH was going about its research. Beth gave him a bunch of good ideas and he listened... institute directors tend to be busy people and I appreciate his attention to a patient advocate.
Now the Trump admin has fired him.
People who listen to audio books - please help!
What do you do with your eyes/hands when listening?
I'm trying my first audiobook and finding the experience very odd. If I try to read something, I can't concentrate on the audio, if I close my eyes I drift off to sleep, if I play a game it is too distracting.
About to take a 9 hour flight so need a strategy!
@Edent driving, walking, cooking and other 'automatic' processes. I also use familiar books to get to sleep - a habit I started when stressed due to a shit boss.
@evan Not a single "No" vote? I guess no one in management answered the poll. 😂
So YouTube and Mojo want me to watch a video entitled "10 Most Surprising Celebrity Downfalls in 2025."
And I am NOT going to watch this video, but the thumbnail? Is Mickey Rourke.
Now look, I'm not a judgmental person, but if you asked me to list every famous actor I know on a scale of "most to least likely to absolutely fucking implode at any minute" I can assure you that Mickey Rourke would always be pretty high on that list. I am not at all surprised, Mojo.

I thought about doing #Veganuary, but I've decided that I really shouldn't eat any more vegans.
@neil
Aren't they all going back to Vega anyway, due to the "hostile climate" against aliens?

I am very pleased to announce the release of my new video "Wannabe dictator — why Trump's regime will fall".
Every move Trump made to consolidate power in 2025 reminded me of something I have seen before. So I decided to investigate the historic parallels, and what I found will shock you. In this video I explain how meticulously Trump has copied the fascist playbook, and why Trump will ultimately fail.

In the context of your question, I appreciate that this is entirely unhelpful, but I do the vacuuming and other housework!
(Active sound reducing headphones ftw.)
@neil I'll see if the cabin crew will let me break out my dustbuster 😁
My life = yet another 6 batches of sausage rolls made.
I think that's now something approaching 20 batches of sausage rolls made this festive period. I'm like sausage santa. 👍
@TheBreadmonkey Had to google it. Now I know this is what we in the US call "pigs in blankets."
