- New, friendlier icon! :D - Improve "View Reach" experience on posts, enabled by default (Allows you to see what servers posts have been boosted to!) - Add new theme option experiment (dynamic color scheme algorithm picker) - Change cache durations for start up network calls. - Move pagination icons on large screen devices. - Fix share urls. - Fix feed state problems on foldables. - Upgrade tons of dependencies.

Redbox, the DVD rental box company, went kaput earlier last year, leaving more than 24,000 machines abandoned across the country. @404mediaco’s @jasonkoebler takes a look at the efforts to remove and dispose of them. “The unceremonious end of Redbox is a reminder of how much stuff we make and buy, and how, when companies fail to plan for end-of-life or go out of business, they often leave a bunch of devices that suddenly become e-waste behind,” he writes.
Hooray! It’s Friday! We made it! And we made this #NewstodonFriday thread too, with a dash of science, a soupçon of tech, the inevitable slug of politics, and a spoonful of sweet stories to make the medicine go down.
