Question for fellow #Mastodon users:
When you want to boost a post, do you also tend to favorite it or just boost it alone?

Ah, figures that Elon firing most of the workers got rid of everyone fighting the actual SMS fraud so he got hit by a big bill and now he thinks paywalling sms 2fa will fix it (it won't)
Folks, I don't know who needs to hear this but when you wish your opponents jailed or beaten for holding opinions that you oppose, you're not the good guy in the narrative. Even if the other guy is an actual Nazi. You're just sinking to their level, not fighting against them.
And people who are advocating for civil rights for *all* aren't supporting Nazis just because they think they should have rights too.
I thought this was taught in middle school. How do so many people still not get it?

Note how in the first story the “car” caused a fatal accident, where in the second story it was the “driver.”
Putting a police department logo on the side of a car appears make it sentient.
Is it still #ScreenshotSaturday?
Have I set the mood properly here?

"Announcing a return to work for three days a week minimum so you can still continue to video call with your coworkers and now experience a fucked up hybrid work thing where nobody's needs are met" is some serious "hey don't consider working here" flags. Love that. 🙄

Gov. DeSantis battling the dastardly American scourge of, uh, a college preparatory education:
"My number one concern as a parent right now is that my kids will be cut off from additional information about the world. Will they be able to learn beyond what our state is going to allow them to know?"

As the New York Times once again defends the underprivileged, marginalized, and oppressed J.K. Rowling, it’s important to remember that a pretty big chunk of hand-wringing about cancel culture is in fact just status anxiety, as people used to having their opinions unchallenged and their prejudices celebrated are now facing criticism, and they hate it.

t seems like the bigger story here is that you can poll 2600 cryptobros and even then nearly 1 in 5 will go "oh, you like crypto...? yikes"
You read about a lot of bogus stress-relief techniques online, but if people really want to decompress, all they have to do is eat a can of beans the day before.
Can you tell who's a big fan of belly rubs? #DogsOfMastodon #dogs

These people are literally trying to break the internet for everyone because they couldn't exert a little self-control.

Which job posting is better?
A: “It's more important that you have a solid foundation as a web developer than knowing about every framework”
B: “React—we use React—you should know React”
Just something to think about as “using React makes it easy to hire React developers” is somehow still taking up space in the dialogue.

I love #CitiesSkylines #MapEditor more than the game itself. There's something very zen about slowly sculpting an empty field into a complex series of mountains and rivers.

Starting my day with a crab & cheese omelet with applewood-smoked habanero sauce and thanking myself that the modern world is capable of producing such things.
