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

Coffee drinkers! Listen! Starbucks workers nationwide are starting a 3-day strike today (Friday 12/16) as part of their effort to unionize.

How can you help? Don't cross the picket line. Get your coffee elsewhere. (Preferably at independent coffee shops. Long live small biz).

And spread the word! Make this message viral. Let's hold billionaire corps accountable because worker's rights are human rights. Let's go.

Space mining? Now there's a joke: what good is a pickax in space? No, for us it's mostly hoovering. You've no idea just how empty most of space is until you try to find something worthwhile in it.

There are those who asteroid-hop, but you waste more material redirecting your craft and constantly recalibrating your trajectory, then slowing to a proper speed, than you ever recoup from your typical asteroid. No the real gold—and platinum and ruthenium—is found just floating about in spicks and specks in space.

Some laugh at us "detectorists", but we make a comfy living, and if you miscalculate with a spoover, likely as not you'll trip across another "vein" soon enough that's equally rich. When pickings are poor, we can usually find the remnant of a comet's tail or dip around a planet's exosphere like a slingshot, but if you try to process too much debris at once, you're likely to plug the spoover—it's not built to handle that kind of density. We're after quality, not quantity.

If you're trying to find journalists on Mastodon, I've created a verified database of several hundred here: http://presscheck.org. Since the backlog has become enormous, the unverified waiting list is now public also: http://presscheck.org/pending

Twitter has moved from flagging Mastodon links as malware to preventing them from being posted at all (I assume it's all Mastodon links and not just me). They did allow the URL in alt text, although I'm not sure whether that's policy or negligence.
