MASTODON TIP: If you have somebody whose posts you love, and you want to be notified whenever they post, just click on the bell button in the advanced web interface, and you will receive a notification whenever they toot! (I don't know how many of the mobile clients have this option, though.)

@ai6yr Looking good in the photo. My understanding is that with crossflow tests, after the full 15 minutes, ANY visible T-line, no matter how faint, is positive. But nothing also means nothing.

Back in February, when I had it full blast, the T-line would appear the instant the liquid reached it. Haha. No need to wait 15 minutes. That's, uh, positive. Lol.

And, on that day, she spread out all the boxed cereals. "Take, eat," she said, and they did eat, and leaving blessed detritus all over the table and floor, she said, "go therefore onto your technology, and bother me no more."

And then she wept.

FRINGE QUEST

Out of nowhere, my nephew just asked, “Do you think Pavlov thought about feeding his dog every time he heard a bell ring?” and now I’m going to be haunted by this question.

Good morning! A post just rolled across my fedi-timeline saying not to post about politics on Mastodon, so I'm here to remind you that:

1 "politics" refers to decision-making about how to live together in groups
2 choosing to not participate in political discussion is saying you support the status quo, and is a political stance
3 abstaining from politics because you feel safe from its impacts is a privilege and a choice to abandon your more vulnerable neighbours

Tips for Americans on saving money on COVID protection:

-Masks such as N95s are FSA/HSA reimbursable.

-Your health insurer (private or public) is still required to offer you 8 free home COVID tests every 30 days.

-Some states are continuing to mail free home COVID tests on request. For example, WA, MN, and WI residents can order them through sayyescovidhometest.org/

@georgepenney I highly recommend a TWSBI Eco. Big ink tank means less frequent refills. And refilling is quick.

Prediction: All the cool new tools for journalists and broadcasting will be developed here first. People going to closed sites like Post .news will just have to venture outside their walled gardens to use them. They will quickly tire of that step, then realize they're completely reliant on a single conduit for their brand again. Same mistake they made on Twitter.

@truthsandwich Agreed. I'm training myself to use the tags politics, usa, and uspol. I don't put content warnings on purely political stuff.

I did put one CW today on something I found offensive but it was not so much political as disgusting behavior by that "pastor" who thinks the gay bar killings are great.

@vk2gpu Yes, very unsatisfying. And because of the long path and hot ionosphere it's warm when it gets there. Lol.

I've seen your invitations before and always say "Drat! That would be fun."

Since Mastodon saw its initial popularity circa 2017, I've noticed that most users and those reporting on it either don't think about the Fediverse as anything more than Mastodon, or treat its history as beginning with Eugen Rochko and the beginning of Mastodon. In fact, Mastodon is the latest in a long line of federated social networks, going at least back to Identi.ca, and though I wasn't around for all of it,I find this history pretty interesting. (Thread; boosts welcome!)

@f00fc7c8 Thanks for writing this. My first awareness of any kind of federated network was when the Diaspora project began. I donated money because I thought it was a great idea. It's good to learn the history before 2010.

I became active on Diaspora and Mastodon four years ago. I notice that you speak of Diaspora in past tense. Diaspora is going strong with a couple million users, many of them refugees from Google-Plus. I'm on it every day.

@olavf Hello. I took a look at your profile. I see the captions "I make art" and "I make food". Just for fun, I would change one of those to "Website" and see if your server hooks it up then.
