We are at 95% of our first stretch goal!
With less than €3,000 to go, our fundraiser is about to cross the €50,000 mark, and we will be entering the final stretch of our campaign.
Will your donation push us over the line?

UK people - the government is running a "Copyright and Artificial Intelligence" open consultation, https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/copyright-and-artificial-intelligence until 2025-02-25
Option 3, their "preferred option" is to allow AI to slurp everything, but require an opt-out (we all know how well those work!)
Option 1 (require abiding copyright law) is "not preferred" because it is "likely to make the UK a less attractive location for AI development".
If stealing shit is the basis of your business model, *perhaps this is a problem*?
@MassanOtter definitely not just you, that is some gross self egrandising nonsense. I realise I grew up with the Jante Law as a basically given thing, but even without that, that is... a choice.

This was boosted into my feed without alt text. I’ve added alt text.
It sounds like great advice if your health insurance denies a claim.
It took less than a minute to add the alt text. Please do this.
@StarCitizenNews so, to whoever is running the bot... looks like you have an escaping problem or something to that effect;)

Someone has created a petition for the UK government to legally recognise non-binary as a gender 
We're certain that the UK government will refuse to act on it, but it'd be nice if such a large number of people voted for it that they couldn't ignore it 
Boosts welcome

Oh look, it's #StarCitizen free-fly time again! This one's the big one, for the once-a-year in-universe ship show event, the Intergalactic Aerospace Expo #IAE2954 and if you want to try the game, and any of the well over a hundred ships in the game, and indeed any of the gameplay at all, here's my little rundown of what's what: https://www.reddit.com/r/StarCitizenFreebies/comments/1gxe0l7/starf3v9nvlk_for_5000_uec/ Also, if you want help, or anything seems confusing, give us a poke! :)
@cinnamonvector damn, that's tidy!

This is an experiment. Please boost.
Here's the idea: This post is going first to my followers, then, if they boost it, to other people. This domain has been registered for only this experiment. I should see in my web server's logs when mastodon instances start crawling the site for info. Then maybe also some curious humans.
I just want to play with my monitoring a bit :)

@toomanyfoxes I did indeed see the reply, *and* the adorable fox that just got posted! Excellent, and thank you!
Yeah, I guess I'll have to try and convince the instance admin to upgrade to something slightly less outdated at some point :)
@toomanyfoxes it *looks* like maybe it worked this time, it now says "unfollow" instead - I do not see the user icon, but that could be unrelated (the media in the posts does seem to load, at least in the account page)
@toomanyfoxes just tried to refollow (utc 07:44), let's see what happens :) correct, I do not see posts from the new account!
@toomanyfoxes@botsin.space I poked the follow button a day or two ago for @toomanyfoxes@icy.arcticfluff.eu and looking at it now it shows as "follow requested", dunno what's happening there :)
