There are so many indictments of Republican elected officials, I actually mixed this one up with another one.

I've been seeing so many people who should know better using this AI selfie app anyway. Here's a good article from @hyperallergic about why that's a bad idea.

Key quote: "So, you’re spending money to give up the rights to your face, and there doesn’t seem to be much you can do if your AI-generated selfie is incorporated into a digital advertisement for a scammy cartoon porn site or something." https://hyperallergic.com/785759/read-this-before-you-jump-on-the-lensa-magic-avatar-trend/

Fran called. She is out of ranch dressing. I told her we can go to the store after I've finished watching QVC.

This morning, the U.S. Supreme Court heard Moore v. Harper, a consequential case where Republicans are trying to advance the fringe independent state legislature theory. Read @marceelias@twitter.com' thoughts on how the argument went.

My mother was a Christmas baby born on December 25; and my advice to you is, this: DON'T GIVE BIRTH ON A HOLIDAY!

@CatherineFlick so I am offering this specific experience non-prescriptively, as something to think about, but the one thing that I feel quite strongly about is to banish “screen time” from your vocabulary and push back on anyone using that framing, which most people will. It’s like taking nutrition advice based on “calorie time” or literacy advice on “paper time”. Not all time with devices is of the same character or quality.

@FreyaSu At home, I do the same. On mobile, I am using #metatext for now but the app is not good. I am waiting for the guy with the #ivory app for #mastodon. I am deeply missing an app for #friendica and such ...

#Rappler, please correct this: Users of #Mastodon have created a “Fediverse”…

Please also correct: “Mastodon's fediverse”. The fediverse is not Mastodon's, Mastodon is simply one part of the #Fediverse network.

A little #history.

* 2008: #identica, powered by #OStatus protocol, came online. The first publicly launched federated platform, or software, as well as service.

* 2010: #Friendica (called #Mistpark during development, and #Friendika when it) launched publicly.

* Sometime between 2010 and 2012, the term #Fediverse was first coined to replace the brand-based terminology #identiverse (based on identica).

* 2014: The W3C started the #ActivityPub protocol working group.

* 2016: Mastodon launched, supporting only the #OStatus protocol.

* 2017 July: #Hubzilla officially added support for the ActivityPub protocol.

* 2017 September: Mastodon officially added support for the ActivityPub protocol

* 2018 January: ActivityPub officially reached “W3C Recommendation” (a.k.a. launched, stable, final, recommended standard)

The Fediverse has existed since 2008. Eight years before there ever was a “Mastodon” platform/software. It was not even the first to implement the ActivityPub protocol.

Lots of new follows/followers, so I think I should do a re- #introduction My name is Mike, I live in far northern California. I love traveling with my wife, hanging with my cats, and imbibing #SciencFiction I've been involved in growing cannabis for the last 12 years, but I'm ready for a change. Currently studying #networking and #infosec I love #linux and #foss , though I am coding-phobic!

After getting a phone for our 5-year-old, I received predictable opprobrium and skepticism from other parents, and honestly thought they might be right. But after a while, I think it’s actually a great idea to get one this young, for three reasons: 🧵
