Learned about "Shape Coding" from Ian Levy's "goodbye to the GHCQ" post (https://www.ncsc.gov.uk/blog-post/so-long-thanks-for-all-the-bits) today (in section 1 of said post, the bit about B17 cockpits in WWII).

Question: What real-world control around you would you change the shape of to make it more discernable?

Hi! mastodon.social is being slow right now, as far as I can tell because there's twice as many people using it at the same time as ever have; I'm working on making it go fast again, but in the meantime, do remember to invite people to joinmastodon.org instead of directly to mastodon.social. People don't have to be on the same server to follow you! Thanks!

I love programming, but when people you've taught goes above and beyond what you yourself would have been able to - that's an even better feeling!

Did you know that if you capitalize each word in a multi-word hashtag, #ScreenReaders can read them as words, but if you leave them lowercase, they can't? Well, now you know! So, for #accessibility, please capitalize words when there's more than one in a hashtag.

For all it's advantages and faults, #Mastodon was not built to be a *new* Twitter. It was built to be *not* Twitter.

That distinction is important.

I think I can be sure that I never posted this gem here before:

If anyone ever successfully finds a preserved mastodon vagina, please don't hesitate to reach out, we'd LOVE to see it.

To inaugurate our brand new Mastodon account, we're gonna tell you everything we know (and don't know) about MASTODON VAGINAS. As in the extinct animal, obvs.

Still daylight outside, so a photo from three years ago: Germany, 9th of November, eve of Kristallnacht, around the corner from my home. 👇 #Stolpersteine en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stolpersteine - I am not crying, you are. #NeverAgain #FCKNZS

This probably describes me better than any intro

On the Icelandic fediverse/Mastodon I've started seeing people using the word "tútta" for "toot". "tútta" (pronounced toot-ta) is normally a slang term for a boob/tit.

Please reboob this.

In my opinion, criticisms of mastodon being unusable by the general public are over blown.
