v glad I could translate this joke from Dutch without losing it

Show thread
"A Google employee spoke with the Bay Area Reporter on the condition of anonymity about the current mood among LGBTQ Googlers, saying by phone that, "I'm really worried that they [company leadership] don't know how unsustainable this is. They want to have it both ways: to monetize the engagement that comes from really odious content, but to bear no responsibility for it. And all of us queers who work here see how they're getting away with making money off people who hate us while doing nothing to stop them. Meanwhile, most queer creators' channels are demonetized or marked 'adult' because they use words like 'trans.' Google has no right to be at Pride. They're just capitalists. They don't care."

Another nice to have when upping the character limits, is also changing it for the /api/v1/instance endpoint, which apps like Tusky parse to do it in their gui.

It's a bit more involved since Mastodon doesn't send this key at all, so you need to add it to the app/serializers/rest/instance_serializer.rb

Add the attribute in the list of attributes, as :max_toot_chars
Then define it next to the other 'def' blocks like

def max_toot_chars
4096
end

Restart mastodon, and Tusky should pick up this change when opening the compose menu :)

swapped out my props from 3 to 4 bladed, and lens guard from PLA to PETG, let's hope she flies even better now :)

and we're back with 4096 toots, 2048 bios and 128 displaynames

Using the info I found, but was only documented by @amolith@masto.nixnet.xyz at wiki.nixnet.xyz/books/masto-tw

These mushroom hat thingies are from a super cheap aliexpress bedroom light (80 cents), and I took those and put them on addressable leds.
Then I sawed off this log, and hollowed it out to fit the esp8266 and led protoboard.
Really love the result, it will be a gift for a friend :3

Having pronouns in your bio is important to normalise the practise, not just gor trans people but everybody. If only trans people do it, then it becomes a marker of who is trans, if you all do it then it's just a standard thing. I know it can be annoying to be asked over and over yo do it, but it is important

doing row reduction n shit, I really do like the Matrix.org project more than this linear algebra garbage...

This is a formal request for pictures of birds. You do not need to have known or seen the bird yourself.

I have a friend who is sad, and she likes birds. She specifically likes birbs, borbs, kiss a bird gently, and rond fluff bois.

I would like to send her images of the above. thank u all 🖤

Help yourself.

Watch firefly.
