Sorry that I'm commenting on this all the time, but we're now approaching 1000 Mastodon instances. ONE THOUSAND. https://instances.mastodon.xyz/list

 

Saw Ghost in the Shell last night. I liked the parts that were adapted shot by shot (albeit a bit darker and colder). But I found the story changes to be pretty disappointing, especially with the ending. It's almost as bad as "The Day the Earth Stood Still", in that the philosophy of the original is perverted and smart questions ("where to go from here?") are replaced with dumb answers ("all good now, we'll just keep doing what we did").

 

Current status: 541 active Mastodon instances online, with 181,061 accounts. Unreal. https://social.lou.lt/users/mastodonusercount/updates/19865

 

Thanks to @nxd4n@mastodon.social, this toot was posted automatically from my Known website. Or as the cool kids like to say: I'm now POSSEing my toots.

 

I wrote about how to cross-post from Twitter to Mastodon via IFTTT, but here's how to do it the other way around: https://medium.com/@pimterry/sync-your-mastodon-back-to-twitter-3c72f2bc8626

 

I tooted about how you can cross-post your tweets to a Mastodon account using nothing but IFTTT: https://kosmos.social/@raucao/3377

 

The character limit on is such a relief! No more trying to cut like 10 characters with every other status.

 

If you're looking for a instance to join, we've been testing and tuning https://kosmos.social for a while now. Signups are open.

 

https://instances.mastodon.xyz/ is now tracking more than 300 Mastodon instances. And that's not counting any other gnusocial/ostatus servers. \o/

 

The fediverse is growing steadily, by about 500 users per hour: https://social.lou.lt/@mastodonusercount

 

... hence, *way* more instances, and tested as federated network from the start.

 

The big difference between Mastodon and Identica is that it's accessible to devs. Git/GitHub vs. some Darcs repo + popular software stack.

 

My aunt just sent an email to my generation of the family, asking us to tell her when we update email addresses, because f*** FB and WhatsApp. Go aunty!

 

Material Design is the new Twitter Bootstrap.

 

As a GNOME 3 user, I'm excited about Ubuntu switching back. It has become an excellent desktop. Bring in more users and contributors!

 

In a few minutes, for the first time in history, a previously-used rocket will be flown back into space: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xsZSXav4wI8

 

At this point, it's either intentional malice, or utterly over-the-top incompetency. And those are the people managing our financial system.

 

These are amounts that don't even trigger AML regulations, let alone justify blocking transfers. And we provided all details they asked for.

 

So, @Barclays has been preventing our student jobber in Egypt from getting paid for *months* now. They're "handling" transfers for @ABNAMRO.

 

So, what's the best framework for generating API docs from code comments in JavaScript projects these days?
