@lapis Interesting question, and it could come down to convention, possibly. Getting to a 5 is half way up to the next tenth. 0.499 is indeed less than half, 0.501 clearly above half, even by a small margin. The 0.500 though, which way? I have used rounding up as well.

@zorglubu @DissidentKitty@radical.town very true, and quite a reversal of their earlier corp motto (don't be evil). In the 90s, Microsoft was intolerable, today its a cool company. New Evils are up, goog and Apple.

I'm seeing a lot of coverage on Mastodon lately, but the Fediverse doesn't just consist of Mastodon instances, there's also:

- Pleroma instances, like Wolf Howl!
- Misskey instances, like catgirl.life!
- Gab, we pretend they don't exist~

... and more!

The Fediverse is about freedom, down to picking the software of your preference and the server of your preference. Don't feel liek you're just restricted to one!

Not all places in fediverse are as friendly, polite as we might expect. A list of banned instances from mastodon.social might map places to beware of :blobspy:

@welshpixie beautiful, detailed work. Did you draw the geometric grid below with compass and pencil too? Love geometry.

@marshall strong win for empathy, but can it be had without understanding, first?

@ppmanik it's becoming the standard response of frustrated younger people to the mess left to them by older generations. Climate, instability, inflated cost of housing, tuition, shitty job opportunities for younger workers, etc. It's like "whatever", dismissive of an uncomprehending person.

We are getting asked about "verified accounts" quite often recently, so lets try to clear this up: There are no verified accounts on Mastodon like there are on Twitter. Some Mastodon instances have a custom emoji that looks like the verified icon on Twitter and people put that in their display name, probably because it looks fancy. It does not mean anything though.

One thing about mastodon that seems different to any other social media I’ve used is that we’re all a load of nerds saying “hey, here’s a thing I learned today and here are some resources so you can learn too”, (mostly) constructive discussion, and really long, in-depth threads about things you’ve never thought about before.

Mike's one piece of advice for new Mastodon users - dive into that Federated column and follow ANYONE and EVERYONE who looks like they've posted anything at all interesting to you. Just hammer the button. There's no penalty for mistakes. Go wild.

Later, when your Home timeline is buzzing, go in and unfollow people you decide you're not enjoying so much now.

Then do that again a few times. Then some more. Forever.

@kensanata@octodon.social nice photos, I visited earlier in the Spring and miss it. "old square with old buildings around" is where many University of Coimbra faculties are located.

Wonderful city, loved the student's attire.

Set on the Atlantic west coast just north of Cabo da Roca in #Portugal is the little gem of a beach called Praia da Ursa. The name of the beach comes from the "Rocha da Ursa" (bear rock) one of two huge sea stacks at the northern end of the beach.

Just found this on Spotify, seems a great idea. Headphones are a wonderful way to listen to music with high quality sound, as long as they are decent.

@_lunawinters do you have price variations depending on the season, time of the year? Here in Canada, we get a lot of produce trucked in long distance, usually from California. The famous 6000 Km salad. And these go up in winter, when there is no local source. I find official reported inflation rate does not reflect my sticker shock at the supermarkets produce section.
