Is it bugs? 📊

@COMPU73E I remember reading Battle Royale after seeing the film and thinking ‘my god this is so much worse than the film version’. Still gives me shivers thinking about it.

Mastodon feels like the future the 1980s promised us. "Oh look, a post from my friend at hacker.space, and what a funny comment from some guy on gaysex.cloud, perhaps I should follow them, they seem witty."

It feels like you could turn a corner and wind up in a tearoom filled with furries discussing existentialism. Across the street are anarchists arguing loudly with socialists about how best to stick it to the capitalists.

Just down the way is a photographer who only takes pictures of bees.

@asta I want that too, please and thank you.

I’m looking through my Macintosh user guide (the booklet that accompanied my 1984 Macintosh) for the first time in a while, and I’m a little obsessed with this graphic explaining scrolling.

@notnixon The powerful ‘double skibidi’?!

Looking at a finance document for work and it features a bunch of acronyms. One of them is ‘NCR’. I don’t know what that is. The only ‘NCR’ I know is the New California Republic from Fallout.

Seems unlikely to be that though.

A very worthy use of AI, I think. #EpsteinFiles

America is a crazy place, and one that I called home for a long time, so I have some thoughts on its current state. I finally got around to writing them down. #politics #opinion

@simoncox Well that is far less scary than I feared.

The sticker concerns me. What makes this tuna suitable for me but not for someone in Belgium?

Do I really want to know?

In June, we proposed new Terms of Service for registered users of on our mastodon.social and mastodon.online servers. We did not do enough to consider the full impact of the terms, and the community was very clear that we needed to reconsider.

We've done that over the past few months. Today, we're posting an alternative set of terms, along with an opportunity for the community to provide feedback.

Today I saw someone toot, in dismay, people are posting their everyday life to Mastodon when they could simply buy a diary for $1.99. I can't stop thinking about this.
What if this is all they have? What if they're isolated with or without people in their life? What if the only kind word they hear this week is, "That's cool"? I say, post your mundane. Post anything you want. While being silenced everywhere else, don't be silent here.

Petition to change all references to ‘John Mastodon’ to the simple mononym ‘JOHNSTODON’.

For now, I’m still voting their way. Seriously though…

#introduction
Hello! Kwe'! My name is Sage and I am a transgender woman from Atlantic Canada. Raised by a mother of English descent, I lost touch with my indigenous background on my father's side from a young age, although through my partner, a two-spirit L'nu, I am slowly learning more about the culture and becoming connected to my roots!

I am a programmer and FOSS advocate who currently works as a programming instructor, teaching software development to kids of all ages through project based learning with a focus on game development, which includes lots of math and physics.

I am also quite politically active. I'm a registered member of Canada's NDP and consider myself to be a democratic socialist. I believe that the working class needs to take back control from corporations. I believe food and housing are fundamental human rights. I stand with Palestine, Ukraine, and anyone else who faces oppression in these trying times.

I look forward to meeting like-minded folk on this platform! Thank you! Wela'lin!
