Is there a #Fediverse tool that helps with hashtags?
It annoys me that I can't easily see which hashtags are popular for a given subject and which are effectively dead.
I might want to revive a dead tag, of course, but having the information about what the current state of play is would be very handy.
@0xabad1dea you're clearly assuming that heavenly visitation is a rare occurrence when in fact, in many smaller european nations, it is quite common
Some vision of Wim Wender's Wings of Desire made me remember this...
Making Tracks is a cabled jumper with saddle shoulders knitted using DK weight yarn. It is made in pieces and seamed.
The cables are inspired by the different patterns tyres leave behind in fields, forests and on beaches.
Making Tracks was first published in The Knitter in November 2025 and will be released as an individual pattern next week!

I've been thinking about what a transition to non-profit leadership would look like for a path out of working for capitalism. But also, the whole notion of structuring an organization's survival around project-based grants that might go away with a change in government or political winds sounds like hell.
You lose so much institutional knowledge and capacity when you're constantly at the whim of a new project that cycles people in and out due to money pressures.
Then there's how much people get paid and over-work for the mission. There has got to be a better way.
I’ve no tolerance anymore for anyone working at Google or Facebook in any mid-level or senior engineering position.
They could have left years ago or never started working there in the first place.
None of this shit is new or a surprise. They’re actively helping making the world a worse place and destroy things I love.
@thomasfuchs collaborators is the only appropriate term. There is no innocence here any longer.
There's a weird incentive in the Fediverse where there are a bunch of people I don't follow because they post 90% things I'm interested in, and other people I follow boost those posts, so I see the interesting posts multiple times without following them. Occasionally I follow them and then realise I'm just getting more copies of the same posts and unfollow them again. Which doesn't mean I'm not interested in them, it just means following them doesn't actually show me more of their posts.
@david_chisnall I wonder if any of the alternative fedi UIs have implemented a temporary de-duplication cache. Looking at you @phanpy
Obviously.
@lowqualityfacts I'm sorry but the color purple isn't real.
I noticed many people believe, that Western countries ranking low on corruption indexes, shows they aren't corrupt as hell.
To me this just means it's at a higher, much harder to prove level.
Instead of starting at the cop level (which is still possible with connections), it starts at the points where multi-millions can be made without anyone really noticing.
E.g. farm land > residential use, construction projects, sale of government properties, favors for corps etc.
@madeindex @knowprose @samuel I live in a country that pardoned literal insurrectionists.
I'm not sure there's a level of corruption that isn't actionable anymore. (Unless you're the CEO of a health insurance company.)
Have you tried being a (cute) chaos gremlin? I highly recommend it! :3
@catsalad that is my default state
@tomootes @wiert @ErikJonker @reinouts @annejan klopt! We zijn druk bezig met migreren naar een bestendigere infrastructuur. Ik waardeer het aanbod wel. Als we straks wat onboarding zaken af hebben gaan we eens kijken naar een Mastodon account of een openbare meet-up 😊

US government takes $2 billion equity stake in nine quantum computing firms
Beneficiaries include start-up backed by firm with links to the Trump family.

The circuit layout for an IBM five-qubit quantum processor. It's all blue, with five squares connected by switchback traces. It looks like a maze or a plumbing nightmare.
I think I've complained about this before, but I'm currently writing an article that uses this word a lot, and I just have to say how deeply I dislike the Canadian spelling of "manoeuvre" (the American spelling "maneuver" is bad enough... yikes.)
@sundogplanets hm. Manoover?
C’est quoi les structures françaises équivalentes à PyLadies et Django Girls ?

Stephen Colbert didn’t just change late-night comedy — he changed how Americans talk about politics, and that puts him among the all-time greats.
As the “Late Show” comes to a close, a Penn State comedy scholar looks back at how Colbert used satire to explain complex topics while still making us laugh.
The best satirists don’t just make people laugh. They help people understand power. And with that in mind, Colbert is among the best.

@TheConversationUS It’s tragic to find that Colbert is too American for American television.
