Here is a photo of the #dog and #cat I adopted exactly 8 days ago. They’re both two months old, (it’s estimated they are two days apart in age) and I’m hoping they are going to become good friends. They actually already play really well together, despite that the kitten was found feral.

Policy/support:

- some kind of readily available legal and policy resources for small and medium size instance administrators. It's only a matter of time before someone is served with a subpoena for user data. How will you react? Do you have a DMCA contact? Are you complying with various international user data protection rules? And so on.

Before a crisis is a better time to work this out than during a crisis.

@mattblaze this is really important. I moderate a subreddit and I had a SLAPP brought against me at the community for allowing criticism of a business. Reddit’s legal team fought against the 40+ subpoenas but film freeway let go with names and they’re still being harassed. Mastodon better get their house in order because this kind of thing happens all the time.

警察一直在分化人群，到三点多的时候安福路和乌鲁木齐中路的交界处就只剩下三四十人了。我们有人和一个带白口罩的领导起了冲突，警察就突然上来抓人，根本没有反应的时间。

A big reason I'm having a hard time sticking to Mastodon is the lack of a quote-tweet feature. Yes, I know why the creator excluded it, but not having it means that I have no straightforward way to build on things other people say. All I can do is:

- boost/RT as-is, which strips it of any context around *why* I want to boost it

- "LRT", which also loses context and is a terrible UX for followers

- reply, which is visible to a different audience altogether

Just a reminder to not buy a commercial VPN on Black Friday unless you’re a corporate IT admin buying a concentrator, or you’re trying to watch geolocked kdramas. They provide you no added security. You’re welcome! #cybersecurity

notes on reading error messages

I'm wondering if there are more tips I should include here -- for example "remove the parts specific to your program when Googling the error" feel too obvious to me

>§#Ukraine's leaders will have to be "far-sighted" to secure peace, #Pope Francis said on Friday, suggesting that #Kyiv would have to make concessions to end the war with #Russia.

Maybe missing it, but why are these calls always directed at Kyiv? Russia could put on their big boy pants and be far sighted and offer concessions to end the war too, you know

Why do folks always talk about Russia like its an inanimate force of nature like a hurricane? They have agency too.

#cat

This is one of my favorite pictures. It feels like it was taken yesterday… but it was taken in a Paris public garden nearly a hundred years ago. Everything feels modern: the composition, the casualness, the daring clothes, haircuts, and accessories.

The colors are original: this is an #autochrome, using the first process for color #photography invented by the Lumière brothers in 1903.

The women are unknown, but I can't help wondering how they fared a few years later in nazi-occupied Paris.

I’m well aware of the pros/cons of centralized vs decentralized community systems. I’ve been doing this stuff since the 90s. My only point (at the moment) is that federation, in itself, does not solve community problems. Only human community leaders solve those problems. I’m just as excited about the fediverse as everyone else is. Just don’t pretend the tech itself solves anything by default. Trust me, we made that mistake last time. I want us to do better this time.

Like my friend @fraying said, *federation doesn't fix the problems of community management and moderation*, but it is certainly *is* a tool. It is also an exceedingly blunt one. And like many tools because it is powerful, it can also make it easy to ignore or set aside the depth, context and difficulty of decisions.

another day, another opossum

This platform confuses me - but maybe it’s good to have my brain stimulated. It’s certainly better than interacting with the darkness at the Other Place. Here’s my chicken on my couch #chickensofmastadon

“Many residents said the biggest surprise was seeing how many people had stayed in Kherson during the occupation. The streets were empty and life stopped at 3pm. … After the liberation, it turned out that many had remained in the city all along.” https://on.ft.com/3AMfyQe

The massive Twitter data breach is real. Here is a small offer of proof. There is data from entire countries in the data set.

✨ KDE runs on the Apple M2!!!! ✨

With full GPU acceleration! 🚀🚀
Running Xonotic, glmark2, and eglgears at the same time!!

My 🦀 Linux kernel driver now supports the M2!! And it works out of the box with Alyssa's Mesa driver, no userspace changes needed~!!

The Akashinga (The Brave Ones) are a team of all-female, anti-poaching rangers in Zimbabwe, and one of the best community driven conservation models we've ever seen. Selection is exclusively available to unemployed single mothers, abandoned wives, sex workers, victims of sexual and physical abuse, wives of poachers in prison and widows and orphans. They're trained by a former Australian Navy Diver and Special Operations Sniper, and managed to arrest 80 poachers last year
