Someone said to include a bio.

All puns intentional, especially the accidental.

Finished boneyard sweethearts! This is the perfect festival sweater as I used yarn from many small dyers for the color work. The base yarn is a sturdy and snuggly Romney from Apple Creek Merinos. #knitting #knittersofmastodon

Event Idea: Go to IKEA and make the shorks (and other animals) more presentable.

Instead of the hajpile you often see in IKEA, put down effort and put them in the upright position.

Risk: A non-zero chance of getting banned from IKEA
Benefit: h a p p i n e s s 

Most accurate summary every.

Wanted to kinda just keep working through even if I wasn't sure where I was going here.

🇫🇷 The French welfare agency uses an algorithm to detect potential fraudsters. Every month, it ranks the households of 32 million people, including 13 million children, with a "risk score".

For the first time, @LaQuadrature obtained its source code and could run it.

The criteria that increase the risk score are
- being poor,
- living in a poor neighborhood,
- being a single mother,
- being unemployed,
- having a disability.

Hey, if anyone ever worried about the safe zones of a Mastodon banner image, I got you covered. Pink areas are obscured by the mobile website, blue are obscured by the desktop website. The second one is a transparent PNG that you can just paste in as a new layer in Photoshop, Krita, CSP, etc, at the maximum 1500x500 pixels.

Edit: Made a couple new versions to add some new apps and the Akkoma web interface.

Also, I'm getting the impression that some folks are thinking that this was meant to be added to a banner to mark it as a safe space for trans folks. That's not what I intended, but it's a really cool idea! â€‹

Dear Microsoft. Here is a list of things I want the Start Menu to do:

* Show my installed programs
* Search my local files
* Provide access to system settings

Here is a list of things I do *not* want the Start Menu to do:

* Show the weather for a randomly-selected town near my network's public IP infrastructure
* Show tabloid headlines
* Show programs I *don't* have installed
* Search the web via Bing
* Show adverts(!)
* Attempt to engage me in conversation with a hallucinating LLM

Thanks.
