Trans Feels/Rant 

Been thinking a lot about how transitioning took me from being an okay looking straight dude to a pretty cursed (at best incredibly niche) gay chick.
I would do it again, but like, people legit think we do this for clout? The opportunity cost on all axes is HUGE for us.
The things we gain are intangible: baseline boost to sanity, dysphoria mitigation, a richer connection to our emotions. On the whole those can be huge, but... gosh the things we stand to lose… 😮‍💨😔😒

@mcc leave it to elon to make one of the classic blunders, right after never going against a Sicilian when death is on the line, Never push changes to prod between the solstice and new year's.

The reason Mastodon and the Fediverse is spread out on so many servers is it protects it from being taken over by anyone. Not even the richest can buy this place.

Centralised services like Twitter are incredibly easy to buy out. If you move from Twitter to another centralised service, sooner or later that will get bought out too.

The point of the Fediverse is to break this buyout cycle, to let people be permanently in control of their accounts. More info here:

Listen, please don't do this.

It's great that many folks have already transitioned off Twitter fully, but acting like using Twitter right now is an endorsement of Elon's (very real) fascism and war on journalism isn't it.

This has been FAST.

Many marginalized folks have community support infrastructure there that can't simply be ported.

Please understand, community migration is SO much more fraught than individual migration.

One thing the captain of the Titanic had on Elon is that he didn't ban all the lifeboats.

@cailinkins yeah it’s astounding. I’m gonna miss my well curated little network what I had over there. But all things come and go, I suppose.

Somehow we have not yet visualized this, so it was a bit surprising! That "stalactite" is infinitely long, and also infinitely wide -- we cannot go around it.

The floor is a hyperbolic plane embedded in Solv geometry (as the set of points with x=0), while the roof is equidistant to it.

Social media platforms come and go, but "I like the political brand of the person who sexually assaulted you, so I refuse to believe it could have happened" is forever, apparently

everyone's twitter feed is gonna look like this in 2023

Dear everyone -- Please support the admin of your instance. Go to Name of server/about to find out how your admin can accept donations.

They don't get paid and the #TwitterMigration has increased the cost of hosting a server. Every time EM does something moronic, there's a sudden influx.

Be kind, be patient. Your server may have another slowdown as we're all online and more people are signing up. Give your admin some time.

Every news outlet should stand up a Mastondon instance for their reporters & staff.

It’ll be great to see GivennameFamilyname@mastodon.famousnewspaper.com or whatever domain they want to use.

Built in verification. Every reporter for the Washington Post on a washpo domain. Every reporter for the New York Times on an NYTimes domain. Etc, etc.

Plus the “local” feed for each instance becomes a feed of all the posts from that institution mixed together — providing extra discovery.

TIL: There is a cursed color in the Kodak ProPhoto RGB color space which, when converted to sRGB using pre-August-2020-Security-Update Android's image conversion routines, causes an integer overflow and a crash due to a rounding error. Some dude accidentally created an image (flickr.com/photos/gaurav_agraw) which contains the cursed color on a single pixel. In 2020 if you set this image as your desktop on a Google or Samsung device, the device would brick & lose all onboard data youtube.com/watch?v=iXKvwPjCGn
