We're hiring for a part-time position in Finance & Operations at @Mastodon. Fluent German and English language skills are a requirement. In terms of location it's a hybrid role so we're looking for candidates in #berlin or #vienna. I believe this is a rare opportunity to learn about the organisational side of technology non-profits and open source.

I had some suggestions for improvements to https://hex.constituencies.org.uk/ which I've implemented:
@Edent suggested that some sliders (category-based rather than time/number) be changed to dropdown boxes.
@christianp noticed some broken links on the food bank visualisation.
@mcrmonkey had issues zooming which I've hopefully fixed by adding proper zoom support for the maps.
There is a game called adopt me on roblox it's about getting pets, you can buy pets from eggs. It used to be randomized but because of a new UK law it is considered "gambling." They have now added a sequence so the pets you get are no longer randomized.
I've been writing about NFC and QR codes for over a decade. So I have a question for you.
Since the start of 2026, which have you done more - scanned a QR code or used NFC on your phone (excluding tap-to-pay)?
If you regularly use NFC, please reply and tell me what you use it for. Thanks!

RFID is like cold fusion. It will revolutionise everything - and it's only five years away! Terence Eden And, much like cold fusion, NFC will permantently be just around the corner. It's been "The Year of NFC" since 2008. Just like it was in 2009 and in 2010. Today the news came that Google may be abandoning QR codes in favour of NFC for its business places service. I think this is a mistake …

Hey #HomeAssistant friends.
Is there any way to find out *why* a light turned itself on at 3 o'clock this morning?
I can see it happening in the Activity Log - but it doesn't say what caused it.
(Generic #ZigBee lights attached to a Hue Hub, if that makes a difference.)
