@julian Hmmm. Glad they are all there, but isn't it a bit of a "option paralysis" inducing thing to how to choose a site to free you from "option paralysis"?

@eff @jilliancyork @reasonmagazine This is nothing new to me. That shithole country's diaper-baby president called me a 'terrorist' for simply being transgender, in addition to me not being a big fan of fascism.

Well, #NoShitSherlock, I ain't supporting a diabolical ideology that wants me, and anyone associated with me, DEAD!

This is especially true with me being on the interaectionality of me being both disabled and transggender. I'm the kind of person who would be genocided in WW2 Germany.

Does anyone actually need another 3.3V 3A power supply that will spit out a sub-1mV ripple?

Cursed controller idea from a recent misread I just had: are there enough buttons on a #FlightStick to use it as a single-handed #FightStick ?

Governments want nothing more than to control what people say and read and hear online, and corporate monopolists are their natural allies. So the "kid safety settlement" by Facebook and states is going to be disastrous for everyone who cares about free speech. https://www.techdirt.com/2026/08/26/meta-just-paid-nearly-17-billion-to-make-sure-it-gets-to-write-the-kid-safety-rules-for-every-other-social-media-platform/

Instance selection paralysis (with a callout to @tchambers@indieweb.social)

Here's a collection of sites helping you choose an instance.

@AnarchoNinaWrites Between solar supplanting oil and $800 drones outperforming $4M patriot missiles, the US is currently losing a two-ocean economic war almost nobody can even see.

Hm, maybe I should turn this one-off how-does-this-IC-work PCB into an actual low-noise power supply PCB? I mean it wouldn’t take much extra work…

@leavex Sadly that one is super old. Suspect most are dormant and some moved to anther server.

Would be good to recreate it for those still active as one of those new Mastodon #collections

Few birds are large enough to fill the frame with a 105mm macro lens. But this hungry hunting heron was up to the task and even obliged with the low angle.

@arstechnica
If it's trained on csam, is there any way to figure out if the creepy nudes etc it makes aren't based on csam in some way? Doesn't it poison the whole process?

Looking for community and more friends near me. Happy to take a walk, grab a coffee or whatever is easy.
I'm new to identifying as queer and AuDHD and would love to have some chats about that.
Would love to have philosophical and deeper conversations as well.
I'm open to new experiences, hobbies and interests and do enjoy listening to someone who is passionate about things even if it's not necessarily my interest.
