@pluralistic is as clear-eyed as ever here, and I agree wholeheartedly with this take on #bluesky:
โBluesky lacks the one federated feature that is absolutely necessary for me to trust it: the ability to leave Bluesky and go to another host and continue to talk to the people I've entered into community with there.โ

@Sebprovencher oh noes!

Goodnight #Fediverse. You are a wonderful thing and Iโm glad to know you.

Do you ever think about how weird it is that you can hear my voice in your head as you read my voice as you read this?
Weird, right?

Language as a thing is 60k - 100k years old.

So thatโs several layers of technology at play. Writing - the representation of language in a form that is interpreted by people of a shared culture- thatโs like ~5k years old.

Hey #CoSocialCa:
If you're at all curious in learning how Mastodon works, learning about the tools and tech used by #CoSocialTechops, or how you can help to keep the lights on around here, please join me for a meet-and-greet on Thursday this week.
We'll be live-streaming the upgrade of our Mastodon instance from v4.2.10 to v4.2.12, doing some show-and-tell and Q&A.
Any non-member #MastoAdmin who are interested in helping out are welcome, as well!

Phil Wizard is a truly phenomenal talent. I can not believe what this guy can do with his body.

Look all we have to do is make sure he never appears in public for the next four months and this election is in the bag.

Sopwith is 40 years old! I canโt even guess at how many hours I spent playing this when I was a kid.

Intense windstorm overnight. Pleased to discover my yard furniture still in my yard.

The train station in Port Hope, Ontario, was built in 1856 and was refurbished in 1881. It was restored in 1985 and hereโs what it looks like today.
No staff on site. If not for the announcement board I might have mistaken it for abandoned.

@boris @virtuous_sloth @coop right.
That server does behave differently than Mastodon, which wonโt display the locally-stored version of your profile to non-local users.
That is rather odd. Theyโre more-or-less indexing the entire Fediverse for public display.

Well, that's a wrap!
I just put up a post looking at some of what the Technology and Operations crew got up to in 2023:

Going #Running. In shorts. On Christmas morning. In shorts.
I guess this is should seem less odd with every passing year, but it still feels very weird for it to be so warm on Dec 25.
