Code The City
I'll be attending the @CTC27 #CTC28 hackathon at the start of December (for the first time as a trustee!) and we're still looking for project ideas along the theme of Connections. Any suggestions as to what the participants could work on?

Just 12 days until #CTC28 Connections hack weekend.

Generously sponsored by Converged Comms, hosted by ONE TechHub. We've catering from local social enterprise The Bread Maker. And joined by students from Nescol, Robert Gordon Uni and Aberdeen Uni

Its in #Aberdeen and online too.

Ah, basthon (jupyter in the web browser with zero setup needed) is now rocking #python 3.10 https://notebook.basthon.fr/

Figured I should explain this here in case folk are wondering why my finger is often in my photos - I have scale bars tattooed on my index fingers, the lines and dots are 5mm apart and they’re super useful for quick field photos 😅 Demonstrated here with some gorgeous crinoidal limestone from Fife 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
Almost 180k new users joined #mastodon yesterday, a new record. This third #twitterMigration wave happened after Musk's Twitter 2.0 ultimatum to #Twitter workers. Each wave is stronger than the previous one. Here is my updated plot showing the three consecutive waves.

The thing about Twitter is that it really lacks a lot of the features you'd expect from a true Mastodon replacement.

For example, there's no way to edit your toots (which they, confusingly call "tweets"—let's face it, it's a bit of a silly name that's difficult to take seriously).

"Tweets" can't be covered by a content warning. There's no way to let the poster know you like their tweet without also sharing it, and no bookmark feature.

There's no way to set up your own instance, and you're basically stuck on a single instance of Twitter. That means there's no community moderators you can reach out to to quickly resolve issues. Also, you can't de-federate instances with a lot of problematic content.

It also doesn't Integrate with other fediverse platforms, and I couldn't find the option to turn the ads off.

Really, Twitter has made a good start, but it will need to add a lot of additional features before it gets to the point where it becomes a true Mastodon replacement for most users.

[EN] Hello to the new comers around here.

We're developing a #free web application for sharing physical #books.

You may scan the barcode, then say whether you want to give your #book away, lend it or sell it. A shared virtual #library in short.

You can also read activities from the #fediverse (see https://mamot.fr/@inventaire/107405333892235843)

And books data comes partly from #wikidata
