With everyone traveling to Düsseldorf and posting about it (
), my #btconf FOMO is growing exponentially. I wish so much I could join you! Have a fantastic conference and a wonderful time together, everyone.
And: make sure to post photos and quotes from the talks here !important

I got tired of “no! no! no!” so I taught my 2yo to say “it depends.” He’s now available for hire for Staff Engineer roles.

If Medium put their blogs on the Fediverse, we’d be one step closer to having a replacement for Substack.
Although it would be even more ideal if Ghost could join the Fediverse. Hell, why hasn’t that happened yet?
My bot that informs you of status changes of GPS and Galileo satellites was sadly banned from Twitter. But, with only a little bit of work, I’ve been able to move it to Mastodon! Please follow @GNSS_Changes if you get a kick out of learning about problems in space!

@thedarktangent Narrator: It will absolutely take the next generation because the current generation and its voters refuse to learn anything about any of this.
If you’re wondering what the rainbow pentagon thing is that a lot of accounts use, it’s the Fediverse logo :fediverse:
It’s a public domain / CC0 design, its original designer shared a high quality copy at https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Fediverse_logo_proposal.svg
It represents all the different server types that make up the Fediverse (https://fedi.tips/what-other-kinds-of-servers-are-on-the-fediverse/)
(Note: There can be no official logo on the Fediverse as there’s no central authority to make anything official. However, this logo is by far the most widely used one.)
in the grand tradition of joining mastodon and liking computers again, I made a tiny new website for the first time in one hundred thousand years
Media are calling the Fediverse a failure because they want it to fail—and they believe if they repeat the same narrative, it will some day come true. But they were wrong about the Internet in 1995 when they called it a novelty. They were wrong about social media in 2008 when they called it a fad. They are wrong about the Fediverse today. 11 million people are here now. 12 million people will likely be here next month. Most startups wish they could “fail” like we do!
Matt BinderFollowing his interview on the BBC, Musk told followers that it was time to "move on" from the Twitter Files.
@mattnavarra @ubiquity75 The image is a screenshot of a tweet from Chris Messina. It reads as follows:
“And, it’s done. I’m no longer legacy verified. Not that I care (I don’t), but this is as good a time as any to bid farewell. So long, and thanks for all the hashtags.”
Chris then appends a screenshot of his Twitter profile with a red circle drawn around the place his verified mark used to be.

The April issues of Maximum PC and MacLife are currently on sale at a newsstand near you—assuming there is a newsstand near you. They’re the last print issues of these two venerable computer magazines, both of which date to 1996 (and were originally known, respectively, as Boot and MacAddict). Starting with their next editions, both […]
