Oh hell yeah. @mozilla is launching a Mastodon instance in early 2023! I’m very excited for this. Mozilla is really good at what they do. Firefox has over 200M monthly active users, and with any luck they’ll build better support for the fediverse into Firefox itself. Mastodon will greatly benefit from easy to use professionally run instances that can handle massive scaling https://blog.mozilla.org/en/mozilla/mozilla-launch-fediverse-instance-social-media-alternative/

RT @4TaxFairness@twitter.com
BREAKING: Just-announced deal in Congress for a year-end budget bill DOES NOT include the extension of three Trump-GOP tax cuts for corporations 🍾
This is a huge win—a year-end corporate tax giveaway is, sadly, usually a foregone conclusion.
This is what change looks like.

If you want to protect our democracy from authoritarianism, please urge your Senators to pass Electoral Count Act reforms — before it's too late.
These reforms could stop Trump’s next coup attempt, and they were just included in the spending bill Congress will vote on this week.

I suppose it’s the nature of the beast, but mathstodon.xyz seems to be dominated by people on the Pure end of mathematics. If you’re working in #AppliedMathematics or #Physics — give me a shout so that I can follow you!
Boosts for reach would be very much appreciated.
The finer subtleties of #messi 's leadership and real-time management. Brilliant article to read in the afterglow of the #fifa #worldcup. Truly the #goat.

Well, it seems as if Twitter is doing a mass ban of links to Mastodon accounts (not just the big instances).
This is what I got when I checked my link:
Funny, it seems to be okay with my link to Post.

Using #vim is easy once you learn a few basic keybindings.
h and l - move left and right
j and k - move down and up
η and λ - move backwards and forwards through time
ξ and κ - translation through additional temporal dimension (if applicable)
ᚻ, ᛄ, ᚳ and ᛚ - moving left, down, up, and right through celestial spheres
𐤄 and 𐤋 - switch deity to pantheon member to left or right
ᛄ - supplicate to chosen deity
ᚳ - challenge chosen deity (dangerous)
:q - exit
#twitter is directly attacking #mastodon links now. This is for the link to my mastodon profile that I have on Twitter. Also, this:
https://techcrunch.com/2022/12/15/elon-musk-suspends-mastodon-twitter-account-over-elonjet-tracking/
I wonder if a simple trick using a redirecting link on Twitter will work, to achieve the same thing.
So much for #elonmusk 's claim that full #selfdriving cars are possible with cameras and #deeplearning alone.

Just set up my #encryption keys with Mastodon using this great guide:
https://opensource.com/article/22/12/verified-mastodon-pgp-keyoxide
The GPG/PGP link on my profile page allows to easily encrypt a message to me, if you're not comfortable with command line tools to do the same. #privacy
Really enjoyed this read about the rise and fall of #asbestos. #materials #longread #hazardousmaterial

It seems that the #linkedin professional badge for use on our blogs is completely disregarded when not viewed on a WIndows machine! Here are two screenshots of my website's landing page https://siddharth-maddali.github.io
when viewed in #chrome browser, one on #linux and the other on #windows 10. Any idea why this is happening? It seems to display on #edge browser on WIndows as well, but not on #firefox or #brave on Linux (I'm running Ubuntu 22.04 on my laptop). Is the badge missing on #ios as well?

Never thought Elon Musk would do so much for the adoption of a decentralised infrastructure…
Please Elon, can you buy Elsevier ?
