Not seeing nearly enough snark on my local feed about bird site being down.

Some #boardgames I ordered from Funagain.com (they’re shutting down their online biz, so prices are low, but shipping is $15):
• Smile
• Dale of Merchants (original & 2)
• Capital Lux
Has the “covfefe” thing hit Mastodon yet?

not joking here. serious post. if it becomes impossible to block ads at some point i'll just end up browsing the web like stallman does, furiously tapping the hook switch on a 1950s bell telephone to approximate V.32 9.6 kbps frequency/phase shift keying, with the telephone's audio output connected to one of those seismogram plotters. this will give me a paper copy that i can annotate & peruse at my leisure (ie write in the data in pencil, mark the start of packets with a highlighter)

In the mastodon justice system, the people are represented by two separate, yet equally important, groups: the police, who investigate memes; and the district attorneys, who prosecute the shitposters. These are their stories.

There is an underground #infosec battle going on between tweeting and tooting

For fuck's sake, why can't I just tab straight from text entry to the "TOOT!" button or use a keyboard shortcut? Having to touch my mouse to shitpost is majorly dampening my shitpost efficiency

I could really use some help with macOS UI work for this Mastodon client I'm working on. I'm struggling ridiculously with the core concept of NSTableView cell resizing.
Please boost.

Mastodon Bechdel test: Does your instance have:
- A non-bot talking to
- Another human about
- Something other than Mastodon?
OK, I read the frikkin manual: https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/blob/master/docs/Using-Mastodon/User-guide.md#toot-privacy
“Unlisted toots are public, except that they do not appear in the public timelines or search results. They are visible to anyone following you and appear on your profile page to the public even without a Mastodon login.”
That’s some confusing language there. They’re public, but don’t show up in the public timeline?
