Your #Android phone has a so-called Google advertising ID*, a unique number for your device. Using that, #tracking companies follow and record what you do on your phone, even across apps from different companies.

Luckily, you can now disable the advertising ID to make it harder for them to track you. We recommend doing this to everyone. Here's how it works.

*Unless of course, you’re using a google-free #LineageOS, #GrapheneOS or similar. :)

Auto Flash & Test on #PineDio Stack #BL604: GPIO 8 is already connected to SBC ... But GPIO 8 Jumper MUST be set to Low ... Otherwise the LoRaWAN Auto-Test goes wonky and fails 🤔

I just worked out something great you can do with mastodon.el in #emacs . Using the Google translate extension I can now pretty much immediately translate selected text in a new buffer a message in another language on my Federated timeline. It has just opened up a bunch of new content, although some of the autotranslated Chinese posts can be hard to follow! Much easier than copying and pasting to translate.google.com in a browser.

I noticed one thing after a lot of people came here from Twitter.
People are using #hashtags a lot!
I have not used Twitter extensively and thus never got used to them, but here on Mastodon the use of hashtags is generally limited as well.
People generally add one or two hashtags at the beginning or the end of the toot in order to make it searchable.
People who arrived here from Twitter are using a bunch of hashtags, most of those are words inside the sentences they're writing.
Sometimes there's even more hashtags than actual words...

I'm not sure about this approach, it may just be me, since I'm not used to this style.
But I feel that tagging the toot with a couple categories at the end is better:
- it makes the toot more readable
- the categories are immediately recognizable
- you don't have to use specific words in your sentence just for the tagging

In my #opinion #hashtags in a #sentence are #awful

Please boost this post if you would like the EFF to join the fediverse.

In a survey the EFF sent me, I suggested they create an account on the fediverse, so they can reach more supporters and support innovative free software that promotes interoperability among platforms, something they've advocated for in the past, too.

If you can boost this post, maybe I'll be able to show them that there are quite a few users who would like them here!

The EFF is the infamous nonprofit organisation that fights for privacy, government transparency, and digital freedom. Their fight is very important, and the EFF is very special to me. https://www.eff.org/about https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_Frontier_Foundation

Looks good -- April 11th

I made this sheet metal box with hand tools -- I've never made anything out of sheet metal before, it took about 30 minutes using shears, a long brake, a finger brake, pop riveter and seamer.
