Never thought Elon Musk would do so much for the adoption of a decentralised infrastructure…
Please Elon, can you buy Elsevier ?
My Apple Pencil stopped working for a few minutes today during a talk I was attending. Had to unpair and re-pair it. Made me realize how much I depend on it. Would be a disaster if it completely died during my lectures (I teach online). They are expensive but I am feeling an urge to buy a backup one.

@drvolts don't know about IRA but from what I've read about the failure of prop 30 in California the opposition there looked like a classic case of "cut off your nose to spite your face". The fact alone that among others Lyft might benefit is a **terrible** reason to oppose it.

Depose Putin, replace him with Musk. Russia collapses overnight. Problem solved.
The world is so dreadfully managed, one hardly knows to whom to complain.

@peterdutoit @juddlegum verification yes, it's possible. verification on twitter was introduced in the first place after Tony La Russa sued them over impersonator accounts. but at the very minimum it will drive away advertisers. they want brand safety and this is the opposite.

@herid Qoto is very unlikely to go block mastodon.social, as we maintain a largely no-block stance. We believe that the users have all the tools at their disposal to mute/block bad actors.
But yes, we cannot speak for other instances, and we largely disagree with the more strict ones.

choosing a Mastodon instance/server, special heads-up for mastodon.social users
this is the kind of thing that worries me about mastodon. I follow a lot of people on mastodon.social. don't really want to lose them. but moderation there is an issue. as it will be on any instance that gets too big. what's the solution to this?

Since so many people are joining mastodon.social right now, including some really unpleasant-to-deal-with people, and since mastodon.social doesn't have a lot of hands-on moderation to dissuade the unpleasant folks, some other instances are talking about "defederating" from mastodon.social. That would mean that, if your account is on mastodon.social, folks on other servers would be less likely to get/read your posts.
Favorite #music time.
