This is a pretty decent explanation from #Threads about what the #Fediverse is.

Is there a good way to convert embedded Tweets into static content?
I've got loads of Twitter content embedded on my WordPress blog. For obvious reasons, I'd like to reduce my reliance on Twitter's API.
Does anyone have a tool that I can feed a URl and it will give me an image of a Tweet + alt text?
(Looking for personal experience. I know how to use a search engine.)

@ryanc @mavnn
Yeah, you can go a bit overboard trying to micro-optimise. -

@ryanc I've tried a few, including https://openweathermap.org/api
But, ultimately, I just use the Octopus day-ahead pricing to gauge when to use expensive appliances. -

I know it's sometimes cathartic to be a doomer about #ClimateChange and to decry the UK for not taking it seriously enough.
But the reality is quite different.
Could we do more? Yes.
Should you vote for greener policies? Yes.
Is it all doom and gloom? No!In conversation from mastodon.social permalink Attachments

Does anyone here have personal experience of successfully converting a CT Scan to a 3D printable file? Preferably on Linux.
All I'm finding is outdated tutorials pointing to discontinued services.

Needs rather a lot of supports, but my jaw appears to be printing.
3D file could do with some clean-up, so a small demo unit is coming out to test feasibility.

Using Aliza, I can generate a decent 3D model of my jaw. Fully interactive. Looks great.
No way to export it to a 3D file that I can find. Very annoying!

Six years ago I did a prank on the Bitcoin Blockchain.
I got an art company to verify that I painted the Mona Lisa.

Since then, my stunt has been cited in two-dozen academic papers.

Write that silly blog post. Test the limits of what works. Build something daft. Poke the bear. Experiment.
You never know what will happen if you do.

Here's a list of everyone standing for election who has a Mastodon account:
Only 11 candidates so far.
If you know of any others, please add it to their candidate page.
If you know of anyone standing, please encourage them to join the Fediverse.

@evan not sure what you mean? It speaks to a bunch of different AP services (Masto, Lemmy, PixelFed, etc).
But it doesn't expose an end-user API.In conversation from mastodon.social permalink -

@evan I wrote this one - https://gitlab.com/edent/activitypub-single-php-file/
PHP and no database.
It works. You can send and receive federated message, follow and be followed.
Easily runs on a low powered server - but isn't exactly bursting with features.

🆕 blog! “The question which could bring down the government”
This is a retropost. Written contemporaneously in May 2020 during the height of the pandemic, but published long after the events. The day the EU referendum was announced, the then Prime Minister came to visit our office. We were given a chance to talk to him in front of TV cameras. Th…

I've written up the above scam in more detail.
Remember, no matter how clever and security-conscious you think you are, these criminals are highly sophisticated.
You have to be lucky every single time. They only have to be lucky once.
