Developer Advocate at @puppet; I get to build neat things -and- talk to people! *\o/* I run marathons in those funny finger shoes.

Public Service Warning

Mastodon has a very big surge of new users right now. There's no way to tell if it will be sustained, but at this early point it looks similar to Nov 18 when Musk pulled the employee purge.

It is very challenging for system administration to accommodate so many new users. If your server starts to struggle, it is not broken and will get sorted out.

We're all in this together. It's our social network. Be patient. What we are building is amazing.

Is it just me or is Trello downright unusable since atlassian bought them?

I love that @TeamTopologies have taken this stand - I hope that more businesses and organizations will follow suit. Although when I first saw the article, I thought that "Elno" was just a typo and that made me sad! πŸ˜…

Apple listened, and did the right thing.

Thanks to everyone who helped us in this fightβ€”this is a huge win, and a turning point for privacy.

Democracy is fragile and susceptible to conspiracies and extremism. This kind of raid is long overdue in America. spectator.co.uk/article/german

I still see posts with people wanting no politics. So I will leave a reminder:

1. Politics = how we make decisions about living together in society.

2. Not participating in politics = endorsing the status quo.

3. Refusing to participate in politics is a privilege. It is also a decision to abandon those in a more vulnerable position.

You might want to abstain and that's fine.
But someone has to combat injustice, racism, misogyny, anti-Semitism and anti-LGBTQ hate.

Wow. A blank slate. That's not intimidating or anything.
