European CommissionWe're officially reducing the destruction of unsold clothing and footwear, a practice responsible for the loss of around 4-9% of Europe’s textiles.
With the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation, we’re simplifying the process for businesses:
🔸Destruction is only allowed under clear exceptions
🔸Easier ways to disclose how unsold goods are managed
Textile companies are encouraged to manage stock better and prioritise resale, donations, and reuse.
Discord checkpoint came out for this year (another feature being passed around like Spotify wrapped) and it won't give you one unless you had your privacy setting set to big brother mode.
Makes sense since they claim to not track you (they do).
What's fun is you can be the top 3 of people chatted with on your friends checkpoint, despite having the setting disabled.
So either you are for sure being tracked or you're just tracked through others who have the setting enabled.

Using a Pixel with GrapheneOS that features Inactivity Reboot, MTE, and more? — You must be a drug dealer. 🚨
Using an iPhone 17, which now also ships with EMTE, Inactivity Reboot, SPTM, TXM, Conclaves, ...? — Oh, just the average Apple fangirl/boy who gets a new device every year due to camera improvements. ✅
GrapheneOS released some innovative mitigations prior to Apple. Yet, it needs Big Tech to apply such ideas and make phones more secure at scale.
Felix HlatkyHi! Today is my first official day as the Executive Director of Mastodon, replacing @Gargron as CEO. I joined the Mastodon team more than 5 years ago, mostly working for Mastodon in the evenings on top of a 120% day job. I was the driving force behind the incorporation of the German non-profit, am a co-founder of the US 501c3 non-profit, and I have contributed to most of the fundraising success, which allowed us to expand the team.

Today I am stepping down from my role as the CEO of #Mastodon. Though this has been in the works for a while, I can't say I've fully processed how I feel about it. There is a bittersweet part to it, and I think I will miss it, but it also felt necessary. It feels like a goodbye, but it isn't—I intend to stay on and continue to advise the new leadership and contribute, because Mastodon—and the fediverse—is one of the very few beacons of hope for a better web.

Owls in TowelsIn case you didn't know, Owls in Towels has a new home on Mastodon
We had to shift servers when the one we were on got deleted without warning a month ago. We lost our 4000 followers and had to start from scratch, so it would be a tremendous help if you could boost this or tell someone you know about Owls in Towels! Thank you everyone for your continued viewership and engagement 💛🦉
Found a chill grasshopper today.
You may need to zoom in. They blend with the background.
I will need to crop next time for mastodon.
