One thing that's getting a little lost in this mix, is that some of the people desperately holding on at Twitter are because they are trapped by either healthcare or visas.

That there are systemic traps that trap worker in America so they feel unable to move freely to new employers who want them and would have better pay or conditions is *nuts* and deserves a lot more attention than it gets.

#Postdoc position to investigate cGAS-STING-dependent signaling in drosophila. A three-year postdoc position starting in spring 2023 with Jean-Luc Imler and 🐘krin_meignin@drosophila.social at IBMC in Strasbourg (France). #immunity #drosophila #virus

Here are some more #paintings from the tiny truck series. These ones are especially tiny paintings, around 3 inches on the longest side. These were painted in #acrylagouache by Holbein which has become my go-to medium for this series. My favorite one to paint was obviously the #cats one. 🐈🚐

Howdy, here are some of my first illustrative truck #paintings in #gouache. I would see these tiny trucks everywhere outside the US when I traveled and I would love seeing them in all their forms and uses. Now I use them as a vehicle for story telling in a series of illustrations I’ve been working on for a few years.

Some more tiny truck #paintings. This set is more focused on quiet scenes. I also included a #cat in each which will be a thing going forward. Again in #acrylagouache. I also included my ongoing cyclops archeological mini series within the larger #keitruck series.

So in my sparetime I have been writing this open-source game, a mmorpg called a MUD (no graphics in the typical sense, all ncurses based).

Anyway, I never would have thought the most complicated part of writing the game engine would have possibly been the handling of pronouns! The number of variations you have to consider is astounding when you really try to catalog all the different types.

I think I finally got them all covered though.

Newly unsealed court documents reveal data anarchy at Meta.

We've just sent the European Commission new material revealing Meta’s internal data systems
+how Meta infringes the new EU Digital Markets Act + GDPR

Ohhhhh, amazing! It’s looking like the #rustlang restrictions RFC will likely be accepted!

This will remove the need for sealed traits, and will instead allow writing:

pub impl(crate) trait Foo {}

Which indicates the trait is public, but can only be implemented by the crate! It will also include:

pub struct Time {
pub mut(crate) millis: usize,
}

To enable fields to be marked read-only in public APIs!

Initially our reusable workflow to build Debian/RPM/Docker packages for #Rust projects lived in the special /.github repo. But, now that it's matured and made for a wider audience, having a dedicated repo is much nicer for contributions and issues. So here it is, the "Ploutos" project. #rustlang https://github.com/NLnetLabs/ploutos

Hi everyone! If you've been getting sporadic 500 errors while posting, that should be fixed now! ✨

It turns out there was a database change made between Mastodon 4.0.0rc1 and rc2, but the release notes said no database migration is required, nor did they mention this change at all...

Also, the directories I'm listing are for the most wonderful Free Software Astrophotography project there is - Siril! @Siril_Official

Check them out if you haven't previously they are an awesome team of photo+astro nerds!

Some folks asked about the recording of the Panel discussion about Rust in production at EuroRust I was part of. You can find it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ubXvKRbULuo&feature=youtu.be

Let's take a moment to introduce you to our speakers for tomorrow's event (17th November)...
Benjamin Black is an obstetrician and gynaecologist who has travelled widely and provided care in Asia and Africa. His new book, Belly Woman reports on his time providing maternity care during an exponential Ebola outbreak in Sierra Leone in 2014.

Anna Kent is a midwife and nurse who has provided life-saving work in war zones, including caring for the health of 30,000 Royhinga refugees in Bangladesh. Her book, Frontline Midwife reflects on her experiences in overseas humanitarian work, as well as her NHS work in the UK.

@jerry I have endless respect for you taking this on, and hope people grant you grace when the time comes. But even with donations you do not owe people ongoing endless babysitting or diplomacy. That is the conceit of Mastodon and it's users must come to terms with it.

Moderation being an unaccountable black-box is a feature of social media like Twitter, not a bug. The administrators of Mastodon will reach a point where the community is split, but a decision has to be made. This will suck extremely hard.
