How do you explain mastodon to non-tech folks? Instead of explaining the federated social network concept, tell them it is like Email. You have Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail servers etc. Similarly, you have a mastodon server, and you will have an address just like Email, and you can communicate with each other using that mastodon user name. What do you think? Can you do a better version? Explain mastodon to someone like they are five.

Kleiner Hinweis vor allem an die Twitter-Flüchtlinge: Mir scheint, dass viele aus alter Gewohnheit das Sternchen wie den kleinen Bruder des Retröts verwenden. Sterne funktionieren aber nicht wie die Twitterherzen. Im Zweifel kommt das Sternchen nur bei der Autorin des ursprünglichen Tröts an. Wenn Ihr Eure Verfolgerinnen auf einen Tröt aufmerksam machen wollt, retrötet!

(Fangt gerne gleich mit diesem Tröt an!)

The UK is now the ONLY Northern European country not in the Single Market.

Our exports have dropped by 17% since leaving the EU.

Many companies have relocated back into the EU from the UK in order to remain in business.

Pathetically small deals with countries on the other side of the world cannot and will never replace the trade we have thrown away with our closest neighbours.

In addition many products we used to get from fellow European countries are now very difficult to find, including some food products. #Brexit

Heads up. Get root on macOS 13.0.1 with CVE-2022-46689, the macOS Dirty Cow bug https://worthdoingbadly.com/macdirtycow/ If you installed the latest macOS update (macOS 13.1 / 12.6.2 / 11.7.2), you should be fine. Otherwise, apply updates ASAP. Stay safe.

This is significant ...

The German office for data protection and freedom of information hosts the official #Mastodon server for government departments

They are now calling for all ministries on the server to put their focus on Mastodon

They are also asking ministries which are not yet on Mastodon to join as soon as possible

Oh dear. I've just been informed that collecting the names of every person on the planet for my naughty and nice lists is, and I quote, “a significant and wholly irresponsible breach of #GDPR “.
I'm going to hand out about 8 billion consent forms soon. If you could all get them back to me ASAP that would be appreciated.
