I'm hosting @Mastodon's first ever Discovery Week in just a few days. It's a chance for the public to weigh in on the future of online communities.
We'll be discussing topics like user-controlled algorithms, trust & safety, creator tools, and more. Your input will help steer Mastodon towards a more inclusive and impactful roadmap. Non-technical folks strongly encouraged to attend, and there's an async option if you can't make the live sessions!

@wdlindsy You'd be welcome on my instance (toot.cat), for whatever it's worth. I value your work and often link to it from Issuepedia (a political wiki I run/write).
@LocuYinglet Hm, possibly not... it's a citrus-based solvent. Apparently you can get it in every size from, like, a small dish-soap bottle to huge tubs, so I have to think it's available in some form in the EU...
I think the "Citrasolv" brand is the one we've been using; I don't know if there are any substantial differences between brands... it's good for getting sticky stuff off bottles, when nothing else works.
@socketwench Capitalists: I don't understand. If it just works and doesn't need fixing, how can we get people to buy improvements? 🧐
As promised, wee Una discovering her wings and grooming them the other day 🥹🖤🦇 #UnaUpdates #BatsInBlankets
@sundogplanets My understanding is that this can be done right (safely) -- but no way do I trust Meta to do anything right.
Available now on @crowdsupply is the pre-launch for Modos Flow, a fast, open-hardware 13.3" E Ink monitor for everyday use:
- 3200x2400 resolution
- 60 Hz refresh
- Touch and stylus support
- Frontlight Support
- Available in B/W or Color
- Sub-100 ms latency
- USB-C for video and power
It's built on Enchanter, our new open-hardware board, and is designed to push E Ink even further, supporting more panels and higher resolutions.
@burnbabyburn I can definitely help you recover @h -- I assume you've lost access to its email?
Live in #NorthCarolina?
Consider writing your to state reps to ask them to support Senate Bill 1072, to place proposed constitutional amendments before North Carolina voters in November that would make the possession of limited amounts of #cannabis for personal and medical use no longer a criminal offense under state law.
(And, spread the word to your other, fellow North Carolinians, too.)
