Holy Toot, Stephen Fry is on Mastodon? Wow.
Kid: I like this song.
Me: it's from Austin Powers.
Kid: I can watch that at home. It's on PBS Kids.

food. nonsense
potatoes, salt, oil, and heat... tastes better'n it has right to. you don't think you can eat three potatoes, then you cover em in olive oil, season em right, and bake em and then you can
@kisharrington @jkb @Gargron curious as to what you're after...
https://fediverse.party/ has a good display of other things available, misskey for instance. But you can also hugely increase post length and add markdown to a mastodon instance and use that to make "blog posts".
Then other people have a static HTML blog system (like what you might host on GitHub), and make posts using mastodon each time to announce and link to their blog posts. Alternatively I believe there are RSS->Mastodon bots that could automatically toot your new posts. The benefit of this setup, in my mind, is that static HTML is so simple very little can go wrong. Whereas an ActivityPub server is comparably complex. So any trouble you have on the ActivityPub or bot side stays where it is and doesn't spread.
@musicmatze and I didn't quite use all the recommendations in that post actually... In the portions of my application that were very much like a library I used thiserror (which is so cool). Then in the portions that were primarily error consumers I just handled then myself. #rust
@musicmatze that's annoying. Perhaps they don't understand the tradeoffs. I was lucky to find this post a little while ago when I was trying to understand the right way to do errors.

US Politics
I just voted! I was able to take a nice long walk in the gray weather, stroll to a local spot to buy some cookies, and trundled home.
But so many people don't have that choice (which I only have because I'm currently unemployed).
A day of voting should be a national holiday at the very least - a fully paid holiday to be even more effective. #politics #voting

I’m seeing long-time Mastodon folks asking people to please PLEASE use CW on posts about political topics and then I’m seeing almost no one actually do that. It’s so important to keep up with the culture of this space that was established long before many of us got here. Just use the CW!!

Hello/Hola, I'm a historian of technology in the MIT Program for Science, Technology, and Society. I am interested in the relationship of science, technology, and design to processes of political change, especially in Chilean history. I teach classes in areas such as data and society, the history and social studies of computing, and science, technology, and human rights. #histodons #sts #histsci #histtech #histSTM #LatinAmerica #humanrights #data
@greg Wow! Didn't realize you were here. Cool domain name. (Karl)
@vadian ah, I saw that photo. The "sensors while you're away" problem reminds me of this cool tool:
About $100 and it can send telemetry to the cloud via cell network with no monthly fee. Dev kit comes with battery backup and temperature/humidity sensor. I needed to integrate it with a current sensor and it was awesomely simple. https://blog.notmet.net/2022/02/power-sensor/
