@gorf @PsyChuan There's a funny thing in Elite Dangerous where you can use those cosmic death rays to supercharge your FTL drive

Elite Dangerous recently rolled out a new mechanic: Player System Colonisation! Players can now go to a system and stake their own claims! They can build a space station, and they get a cut of transactions from owning it! Some player decided "hey, I like Pulsars, they look pretty, I'm going to build a space station around a Pulsar." the problem is, when you do that, the game tries to lock the orbit of the station to the rotation speed of the star.
soooo.....

Some good news about #Mastodon, there has been a very significant bit of code added which will automatically fetch all the replies in a thread. This means everyone will be able to see a thread's whole conversation no matter which server they are on! 🥳

The code has just been "merged" which means it should become available in the next update to Mastodon, hopefully within the next few months.

(Those who want the technical details can see the Pull Request at github.com/mastodon/mastodon/p)
