Oh nice, it sounds like Mastodon's own implementation of the Fediscovery service, called Fediscoverer, is coming along! "Multiple bugs have also been fixed and we are planning to start testing it on heavy traffic servers soon, before making it available for everyone." […]

A lot of tech is complicated by good and bad uses. Single use plastic, for example, is mostly unnecessary. But (to name just one) there are medical settings where it helps save lives by keeping things sterile. Even though we need to drastically reduce them, if we suddenly banned 100% of single […]

New: Hackers have been stealing high-profile Instagram accounts by simply asking Meta's AI support chatbot to change the email associated with the account they want to steal. Shockingly easy, terrible flaw associated with offloading support to AI: www.404media.co/hackers-simp...

Hackers Simply Asked Meta AI to Give Them Access to High-Profile Instagram Accounts. It Worked

The exploit shows the extreme risk of offloading technical support to AI.

Glued up! Eased all edges and corners. As you can see everything is nicely wedged. Once glue is dry I will smooth the top with a scraper, smooth the protruding wedges, and add some paste wax. For now I think I need to get some wood for what’s coming next. #woodworking

Yet democracies are sustained when ordinary people continue to speak, listen, question, repair, vote, protect one another, and imagine something better together. Beautiful things do not emerge because chaos disappears. They emerge because people refuse to abandon one another within it. #proudblue

First time seeing a “NO META GLASSES” sign in the door of a shop! I’m not surprised… and I expect we might see more of these kind of things in the years ahead. #Meta #MetaGlasses #AR #privacy #surveillance #Vermont

A sign on a store window indicates "NO META GLASSES," featuring images of different sunglasses models. It also includes instructions to respect staff by asking permission before taking pictures or videos, with a friendly "Thank you!" at the bottom.

I see a few posts about #mastodon being dull, or people having trouble finding who/what to follow every week. Building a meaningful feed takes time and effort, because it's easy to allow yourself to be overwhelmed with nonsense. Be thoughtful, have interests, and find people who share the same.
