FediTips has moved!If you're wondering how to stop seeing the same boosts again and again, there is a feature built into Mastodon called "Group Boosts" which prevents you seeing the same boost twice. This is switched on automatically for everyone, you do not need to do anything to switch it on.
Unfortunately, it is also set to allow boosts to repeat after 40 other posts, and this number cannot be adjusted by users or admins.
If you're comfortable using github, vote for this to be fixed at https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/18693
Option to limit boosts in timeline better by setting the falloff in "Group Boosts" · Issue #18693 · mastodon/mastodon
Pitch The falloff for the "group boosts" feature is currently hard-coded to 40 but should be an option to be set by the user. Motivation The setting "group boosts" hides multiple boosts, but after ...
David PierceA few months ago I saw a picture of this weird computer made of wood. I went to LA to meet the guy who made it, and found a new vision for how we build and use gadgets. And, of course, to play with the wood computer! https://www.theverge.com/23841276/mythic-computer-keegan-mcnamara-pc-builder
Mythic Computer is trying to change the PC world one wood computer at a time
Computers used to be made out of wood, endlessly customizable, and totally personal. Now, from Apple to Dell to HP, they’re all metal rectangles. Keegan McNamara and his company Mythic Computer are trying to bring the old ways back.

In 1968, at 30 years old, Lynn Conway transitioned. In doing so she lost her wife, her children, and her job at IBM. She continued on, living authentically as her true self and continued her career as an electral engineer. In 1978 she became an associate professor at MIT and taught a course in VLSI (very large scale integration) that became the basis of the Mead-Conway VLSI Design Methodology, changing how we design integrated circuits. In 1985 she became a professor of electrical engineering at the University of Michigan, and later the associate dean of engineering.
32 years after transitioning, Conway came out publicly as a transgender woman. Since than she has been a advocate for transgender people in the tech sector. In 2020 IBM formally apologized for firing Conway for being trans, over 50 years after the fact. Just a bit of #transHistory I learned today.
