For fellow #Education arrivals, @freemo (the amazing Qoto.org admin) shared a Domain Blocking List.
If you import this comma-separated values (CSV) file into your Mastodon account via the Preferences, that can help keep spammers and bad actors out of your timelines/feeds. I know some folks have complained about it.
Here’s the Domains Blocked file in Google Sheets. You can go to File ->Download->CSV to get a copy of the domains blocked list.
Then, once you have it saved, import it via your Preferences -> Import->Domain Blocking List as shown in the screenshot.

In the USA, those of us who understand and can calculate fractions only have another 24 hours or so of halving and doubling recipe ingredients for those who refuse to use the metric system because โitโs too hard.โ

They ported PostmarketOS to the nokia 8110 4G... it looks so derpy running XFCE. I guess I found another project
Anyone's kids ever get a tonsillectomy?
I know it's normal after the procedure, but wherever he walks to it smells like a used diaper covered in burnt hair....
My wife got out the holiday decorations the other day. She moved one into my peripheral, and I kept feeling like I was being watched.
Stop staring at me, Gnome!

Is Mars on a close approach? Seems the biggest I can remember in the sky right now.
New tool. I don't buy knives all that much anymore, but when I do, they are from Finland.
Love Brisa and Elmax.
I know, right?

The biggest thing I've learned on #mastodon so far is how incredibly toxic the #BirdSite quote-tweet was. I would never have even thought about it ...
This thing is crazy. From Steven Pinker. It hurts my eyes too look at, I actually have too look away. But the center white is the same brightness/color as the radiating white (that's with the black). I think our minds just recognize it as the sun, but still create a physical response. Even after 15mins, I still can't look at it for too long.

It makes me smile how well Mastodon caters for niche interests. There is even a hashtag for people who like tree trunks:
#ThickTrunkTuesday

Related, Elon Musk wants #E2EE DMs in "Twitter 2.0" and has enlisted the help of Moxie Marlinspike, the founder of @signalapp and the architect of the #Signal protocol.

Whatever your opinion of Twitter is, E2EE improves security for everyone.

I am fine with conflict and arguments. I actually have trouble getting people to disagree with me enough. I get more annoyed by people agreeing with me too much.
Name calling, etc. annoys me.
I am finding the fediverse more pleasant and people more informed/open than the bird site.
Maybe the lack of algorithmic incitement to hate has something to do with it.
@slider7420 better?

For no good reason. Here's a glamor shot of the KX1 with a set of @n6ara Tiny Paddles. What a pairing! #QRP #MorseCode #HamRadio
@mrcippy How's that steam deck going. Can you give me a resolution comparison? I know it's 720p, but what does it feel like in relation to a desktop? 1080p, 1440p, 4k? I figure because of it's size and distance from your (stupid) face it has to feel higher than 720p.
