Friends. Imagine being excluded from the rad posts on Mastodon, solely because you’re using a screen reader. That’s sad. Mastodon gives us the tools. We simply have to use them.
My spouse makes peach and ginger jam. It's really good.
PSA from an American Muslim: When you see Zohran Mamdani or Abdul El Sayed do something super compassionate and say “Wow they’re acting more Christ-like than Christians” please know that they’re following the Islamic obligation to serve all humanity as Prophet Muhammad (sa) taught—and it helps us combat anti-Muslim
hate to point that out. And it looks “Christ-like” because it is. Islam affirms Jesus as a true Prophet & to be Muslim requires belief in Jesus. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.❤️✊🏽
TORUS CRYPTO IS TALKING THAT SHIT https://sci-hub.st/10.1007/978-3-540-24847-7_17
Whereas in elliptic curve cryptography so called ‘composite’ finite fields can introduce potential weaknesses [5], for torus-based cryptography they present the possibility for highly compressed data transmission, compact implementation, and significantly improved performance.
"so called ‘composite’ finite fields" YEAH GET EM

Who called it "automated Mastodon post deletion" and not "toot decay?"
Gary, IN still does not have power.
Other towns and counties have had their power restored but not Gary.
The mostly Black city's residents have been pulling together feeding each other, sharing resources and generators, and doing what they can.

On Elon Musk's disinformation platform, you can create a Russian propaganda account and get to 163,000 followers in just five months.
This account falsely claims that Ukraine wants to destroy Europe in a nuclear apocalypse, and the money financing weapons to Ukraine is actually used for sports cars.
Stay in reality. Choose #Mastodon.
@d_rift i had a relatively lucid description of a double ratchet message chain client/server protocol of this form a few days ago but my server hasn't indexed the text yet
@hipsterelectron Is this a "truly marvelous proof of this, which this margin is too narrow to contain" joke?
@NunavutBirder Which seat did you have, rear gunner? 🙂

This is cool.
The CIRA - the Canadian Internet Registry Authority, which manages .CA domains has offered up free Canadian stock images.
Their Canadian Stock Photo library is full of original, maple syrup-infused photography that is free to use and share! All they ask is that you credit CIRA/.CA domains whenever you use their photos and you are free to build as many websites, memes, and annual reports as you like. It also includes Indigeneous themed photos.
@badtux @pzmyers I love how "girl" was a gender-neutral pronoun for child a few centuries ago, and "boy" was a gender-neutral one specifically for mischief-makers.
(And also how the gender significance of pink vs. blue flipped about 150 years ago. And what we call "an abortion" was "regulating the flow" 250 years ago, hence "no abortion when the Founding Fathers wrote the constitution" is bullshit propaganda.)
Language isn't static!
it’s wild how the single greatest learned skill most everyone acquires, as in: you had to be taught to do it, you started out doing it poorly, you gained proficiency over time, and now you do it every day, without really thinking about it, to an extremely high degree of accuracy, is wiping your ass
@mttaggart One could argue that generative AI is a form of gambling, but so would farming and moving to a new town.
@linuxandyarn I think you need a useful distinction between recreational gambling and risk-taking.
You are given limited access to the Gearworks of Reality. You may delete one of these from human civilization.
