@pachli I captured a screen recording. litter.catbox.moe/3vggmc.mp4

@pachli I'm using 2.10.1. I don't have any other accounts with, but honestly I wouldn't be surprised if it was something to do with interacting with an ancient Mastodon version.

It seems like the sort order might be continually changing? A couple notifications will remain static while other notifications keep moving above and below them.

I don't actually care that Trump is cutting funding for public radio when public radio stations feel the need to create "balance" by getting Satan's opinion.

Government is never going to fund radio stations that give you information that will cause you to realize voting isn't enough.

@pachli 's notification tab has become totally unusable for me, with the top notifications constantly disappearing and reappearing, which causes the ones below them to keep moving up and down.

Anyone have a copy (or know where it is) of a person saying to their psychologist, "my greatest fear is dying alone" and the psychologist looking out the window and seeing nuclear explosions and replying "I've got good news for you"?

We should stop using the term "developed" for countries, instead favoring less loaded terms like "paved over", "ruined", "poisoned", etc.

Can anyone recommend someone to clean gutters in #Pittsburgh who will actually call me back?

In light of GitHub going full genAI agents, which will likely lead to a flood of garbage PRs that will make dependabot nags a joke:

Would other foss maintainers with projects on GitHub be interested in some kind of event where we all get together and try moving our projects over to @Codeberg?

I’m thinking of it as a way to both promote our foss projects, provide mutual support during the moves, find solutions to small cuts we run into along the way, and just generally have fun together?

Boosts and ideas welcome!

If anyone is interested in talking more about this or participating, even if you’re not a core maintainer for a project, I’ve created Discord and Matrix places we can start chatting in: discord.gg/fcSeuv56qp and matrix.to/#/%23nohub:matrix.org

The head of Threads (Meta) publicly admitted to almost getting scammed by a fake Google caller telling him his account was compromised, and I can't wrap my head around how you run a social media site, and also answer your phone to unknown numbers, and also believe that Google would call you

If only Joe Biden were in power...

He'd pull some kind of bizarre, exotic stunt like building a shoddy, mostly inoperable pier in the Mediterranean, pretending that it's for humanitarian purposes, but instead just using it as a distraction to conceal and extend Israeli war crimes.

Yep. I can go from zero to block in under four seconds.

@heydon there is no question to me that it should swerve into a tree and kill its own passengers, who are the only ones who actually agreed to interact with an AV at all.

How do I make a jukebox that users on a Discord server can easily add songs to (maybe via upload, yt-dlp, lidarr) but that will stream through a URL instead of a Discord call? So many issues trying to use a Discord call, mostly centering around it being treated as a call instead of media.

Haven't really gotten any use out of #Nextdoor lately, and now someone is DMing me who is pretty obviously a bot trying to farm contacts for some purpose. Sent a request to delete my account.

They've also purchased electric buses. But who cares if there are electric buses if there aren't enough trips to actually get people where they need to go so they drive.

#Pittsburgh supposedly can't afford to keep all its buses running, so why the fuck did I just see a city worker driving a Ford Lightning?

@LexPendragon I deleted the post because him having a MAGA hat among 4 red hats somehow became "Neil DeGrasse Tyson has gone full MAGA".
