Reminder that anyone badging you online w/the phrase "virtue signalling" is full-on, full-stop acting in bad faith, and that nothing of value will be lost if you ignore/mute/block them to preserve your time and energy.

Hi everybody, I’m ready to unveil my year-end-holiday-hack project:

Meet Searchtodon: ***Private*** Timeline Search for Mastodon

It fills a gap that I have been missing over on Twitter as well: “I remember seeing this THING, where was that again?”

It is built with privacy and consent in mind (pls see the FAQ), but is also *an experiment* to see if something like this is accepted by the larger Mastodon community.

Here goes: https://searchtodon.social

I have a project on the go that will eventually need a custom enclosure made for it. I have absolutely zero experience of 3D printing software. If I'm going to need to create files that I can send off to a 3D-printing company, what's the best software for a complete novice to use?

#3Dprinting

Just received my new eReader tablet (got it for a great price used on eBay, I love buying used stuff, really :3). And wow, someone that actually takes GPL compliance seriously and doesn't just try to evade it as much as they can get away with :D

“A prominent pro-reform law professor in Saudi Arabia is facing the death penalty for alleged crimes including having a Twitter account and using WhatsApp to share news” https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/jan/15/saudi-arabian-academic-on-death-row-for-using-twitter-and-whatsapp

Right, so this started with a letter published by the Guardian a couple of days ago. I will not link to it, but I will link to a rebuttal letter, also published by the Guardian, which deals with it pretty well I think:
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/jan/15/were-here-were-queer-get-used-to-it

Queer is a word that promotes solidarity between disparate communities under the lgbtq banner and regardless of how anyone personally feels about that word when mainstream media runs "don't say queer" stories they're doing it to drive a wedge between those groups.

Last night I was on a big roll -- test roll, re-roll, ultra-roll, mega-roll, nuclear-roll -- to see if I could get my AI Bot to actually produce text, and identifiable features, and fingers, for "Boles" and/or "Boles.tv" and these are the some of the best results!

(AI Art Bots are notoriously unforgiving when it comes to "typing" text in an image.)

So, yes, it sort of, finally, worked! If you have any AI Bot experience, you know these image results are nothing short of MIRACULOUS!

For #BlackFriday #blackmastodon, here's Kizzmekia Corbett, immunologist and assistant professor at Harvard. An expert on coronaviruses, she led a team at NIH that did much of the early work developing mRNA COVID19 vaccines.
