What kinda crack did they snort at AMD? I'd like some of that, this is amazing.

It has come to my attention that there is a #CowsOfMastodon hashtag! 🐮

Hello cow fans! Please enjoy this fine specimen, who has just had her highlights done and is strutting her stuff accordingly.

For the photographers: this is Superia X-Tra 400 again, because it always is isn't it?

After 18 months and 3200 posts, I’ve decided to move to a new account @cnx. Although I have no complain about NixNet’s admins, they are no longer really active on this instance. This is not goodbye, I still use other NixNet services though and hang around the community instant messaging channels. I’d like to take this opportunity to thank @amolith and @manton for running everything here

@balrog_booger @dave @Moon @dielan Superprotip: ADL website screenshots are realer than real.

A battery filled with algae is somehow managing to power this computer for months: https://www.newscientist.com/article/2319584-computer-powered-by-colony-of-blue-green-algae-has-run-for-six-months/

No-one's quite sure what's going on. Possibly the algae is serving as the medium catalyzing the interaction between the anode and cathode in the battery.

Except research shows the anode isn't degrading, which suggests ...

... the *algae* is producing the electrons.

Some thoughts on this in my blog post here, item 6: https://clivethompson.medium.com/lavaforming-ai-writes-heavy-metal-and-drones-that-deliver-hamburger-helper-59b9bcfda9a8

I have requested two new CVE IDs for flaws to be revealed in sync with our pending next curl release.

@sophia_sardegna life is not about big words. it consists of small talks.

@sophia_sardegna the world has no the way "it should be". there's one good saying: the world is free from your views on it. the idea is that everybody has his own "ideal world" in his imagination and people will never come to agreement which world is better. so it's basically useless to try to do this. Fediverse gave to people a tool for communication. it's very versatile and flexible tool: many platforms, many clients. many interfaces. so everyone can choose to his taste or even write his own realization. it's open source and it's absolutely free for everyone who wants to develop[ something. so Fediverse is just the reflection of the real world where people are separated in different circles and groups and they communicate with each other in the way they prefer.

@sophia_sardegna it cannot be "censored" because users can choose any servers and run their own instances. and Mastodon is just a little part of a big Fediverse community which at the moment contains not less than 15000 servers (my count may be not exact, the real number may be more).

@iron_bug

My instance is on the list... Quite an honor.

I have been operating ~18 months, and have had 3 reports. And they got the reply; "If you think the posts break the law, then please contact the authorities alternatively raise a civil suit against the user."

The speech-sensitive snowflakes were;

mastodon.online
mastodon.social
yiff.life

@niclas @iron_bug

There is a "secret group" consisting of mainly German, left-wing & socialist-oriented Mastodon admins (instance operators) who specify who, ergo which instance in the Fediverse is to be blocked.

I know someone who has access to this group.

Admins or instance operators who do not follow the prescribed block list and other rules are branded (with their instance).

This is fascism in its purest form.
