To those wondering if this is actually me, here you go.

There is no evidence of trans women having systemic advantage in elite sports! Who could have known that most of the exclusionary messaging around this topic was driven by bias and transphobia?

Remember to activate 2-Factor Authentication in your Mastodon account.

Here's why:

To all the lovely humans starting Mastodon instances:

Please think about succession planning, resourcing, and rules of engagement (aka Code of Conduct) as a matter of priority for your instance.

When you create a community resource, you're making a commitment. If you're new to stewarding a community, ask for help. #AskACommunityManager

It'd be really sad if in 3, 6, 12 months we start losing a ton of instances and Fediverse community members with them.

Just going to put this out here to this wonderful community. I’m looking for a more financially stable position. I’m an early career developer getting my BS in Computer Science looking to get my “foot in the door”.

Help would be greatly appreciated. CV is on my website.

Anyone out there have a solution or workaround for this?

https://github.com/python/mypy/issues/14023

Right now I'm doing:

```
# wrapper type is Callable[[Iterable[T]], Iterable[T]]
k: KeyType
v: ValueType
for k, v in wrapper(my_dict.items()): # type: ignore
...
```

Which is fine for a temporary workaround, but it'd be better to have a proper workaround for the time being.

An illustrated walkthrough of four classic Unix window managers tested under SunOS on a SPARC workstation:

- MGR
- SunView
- OpenWindows
- X11R6

What I find fascinating of the post is it provides the historical, technical, and industrial context of these window managers.

#introduction
Hello! I'm new here like many others, figured I'd try out all of the birdapp alternatives.

I'm a #linux user currently running arch/KDE on my main rig and PopOS/Gnome on my laptop.

I play a lot of video games, I read a lot of books. #overwatch #godofwar #gaming #linuxgaming #fantasy #scifi

I've been trying to learn #python for a few years now. Not so easy for me.

But yeah, hello! :)

Excited to see #BlackTwitter #BlackMastodon take root here. There is an instance/server you can join: https://blacktwitter.io/about

Notebookcheck.net: GPD Win 4: Company confirms launch window as crowdfunding campaign listing arrives.
https://www.notebookcheck.net/GPD-Win-4-Company-confirms-launch-window-as-crowdfunding-campaign-listing-arrives.666654.0.html

Looks like there are some pretty big new features in the first Mastodon 4.0 release candidate: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/releases/tag/v4.0.0rc1

A few that caught my eye (there's loads more):

- ability to follow hashtags
- ability to translate posts
- support for uploading WebP/AVIF/HEIC
- change post editing to be enabled in web UI
- no more /web prefix on web app paths

* Boost (retweet) liberally.
* Follow (and unfollow/block/mute) liberally
* Feel free to be silly! Please! 🍍​
* For your own posts, know that getting 5 to 10 "boosts" or likes is A LOT for Mastodon
* Use Content Warnings
* Add text descriptions to any images you post!
* Turn on two-factor authentication
* If you're new, be sure to read and listen a bit, especially about why things are the way they are around here.
