In case you don't already know, we are not post-pandemic. After a conference in Stockholm, a couple people came down with Covid. At my conference in London, we lost a couple people to it, and the organizer had to Zoom in because she was positive. My conference in Berlin was cancelled...due to Covid. I'd hoped to write something more clever, but please look after your #immunocompromised and #disabled friends -- wear a mask and don't assume it's "just a cold."

normalise giving people a chance to opt-out of christianity related bullshit because I am so tired of it.
it is one of the most violent religions on the planet, people are still currently being oppressed, abused, tortured and killed in the name of christianity, and a lot of us are traumatised by it so maybe just don't assume that everyone is okay seeing any of that christmas bullshit either

also if you're smart in #nginx, please help review my patch that turns on caching to protect against #DDOS by the mastodon thundering herd when a popular user boosts a review from a @bookwyrm federated site. https://github.com/bookwyrm-social/bookwyrm/pull/2465

Hello please enjoy the George #Cats #CatsOfMastodon
Yep, it was slate.js, judging from this delightful section in its documentation: https://docs.slatejs.org/#why
What was that alternative to Quill for rich text editing components again?
@y3mz It seems to be pretty obscure knowledge (and I only found out myself by accident due to a keyboard bug that got my CTRL stuck); every time I tell people about this, they go "wait really???" but as far as I can tell the functionality has been there for years, just nobody knows it exists
Did you know: Firefox actually has some pretty neat selection capabilities!
For text: hold CTRL to select multiple separate ranges of text
For tables: hold CTRL to select a square of multiple cells, or CTRL+SHIFT to select entire rows/columns/tables

Heck yeah, kinky photos should have image descriptions too. Disabled people are often de-sexualized (it's part of infantalizing us), but a lot of us are goddam perverts. Help us out. ;)

If Mastodon is the promise of the early internet, what would be the Geocities of the fediverse? A service for creating microinstances where you can be as tacky as you want, where you can break shit knowing you only break it for yourself?
I wonder how much of this has to do with the bigger character limits, leaving space for people to actually present their projects *without* needing to capture it into some snazzy marketing slogan soundbite
One of the less obvious things I really appreciate about fedi: I see so many more cool personal *projects*, rather than just "startups" or "side gigs" or whatever other capitalist venture.

@ariadne@treehouse.systems I suspect that the same applies for the infosec crowd on there as for any other bootlicker-heavy crowd: there are probably lots of nazis on there, just most of them are invisible support troops
@soatok@furry.engineer I vaguely recall GMail having a "not in this list of senders" rule and it applying filters *before* sending out notfcatons?

fediblock, eris from disqordia
if you need some proof that eris is a unpleasant individual --- make your own choices whether this is #fediblock worthy, but note that i know some instances defederated from disqordia due to the below, among other things:
this thread is cached correctly here, on the external server, but eris' original toots were lost when the old disqordia instance went down

@Marliestalman Dit zijn van die dingen waar het direct zo pijnlijk duidelijk is dat niemand binnen het kabinet ooit eens een kopje koffie is gaan drinken met iemand die het niet zo breed heeft. Want dan zouden ze dit al jaaaaaaaren weten.

Min van VWS gaat onderzoek doen naar mensen die de tandarts mijden vanwege de kosten.
Ik begrijp niet goed wat hij wil onderzoeken. Ik kan de conclusie al wel vertellen:
Een deel van de Nederlanders is te arm om de tandarts/mondhygiënist te kunnen betalen en gaan dus niet. Een slecht gebit heeft invloed op je algemene gezondheid, welzijn en je sociale positie.
Oplossing: Alle tandzorg in het basispakket zonder verhoging van de premie. #ArmoedeInNederland
