As a company that has long boasted about its commitment to principles, Apple has had a bad several months. It removed ICE Block from the App Store. It let X remain, empowering its users to create child porn, which is apparently “free speech” now.

I'm looking forward to #FOSDEM. We're bringing some easy to carry merch, loads of stickers, and even leaflets I designed. Definitely come by Mastodon's stand if you're there ☺️ We're going to be in building F this time.

Busy week! We're preparing to meet the community at #FOSDEM at the weekend. Some members of the team will be at various events around Brussels from Thursday. As well as @haubles talk on the #socialweb track on Saturday, @mellifluousbox will be on a panel on the Policy track on Sunday. Plus, you'll be able to buy stickers and pins on our stand to #SupportMastodon

I'm going to give #Qobuz a try as an alternative to #Tidal so there's one less subscription going to a US company. The last.fm integration seems to be working and all my music seems to be there. Wish the app icon on iOS was a bit prettier since it's going on my task bar...

Sunday morning sunbathing. #CatsOfMastodon #RipleyAndJonesy #EggCarton
