I'm inspired to see many long-standing Fediverse supporters, moderators, admins, and code contributors volunteer their expertise for Discovery Week! I can't wait to learn from you all.

But we're missing some important voices: Non-technical users.

Which is why I have a favor to ask: Please share this post with someone you know who is a casual, non-technical user of Mastodon or any social platform. I want to make sure we're hearing from a wide range of perspectives!

I think enough time has passed, that I can finally share what I made 'from garbage data" in public!

I miss working on projects like this, and having to not share them reduces my chances of being hired to work with data like this...ugh.

Anyway, when most of my work is about finding and sharing patterns....this project was all about helping folks see how chaotic an existing system is: https://www.patreon.com/posts/102234094

Hi #fediverse. We need to talk about something.

While talking to a colleague about how I recently learned most people have never sat on a cow it came up that she has never sat on a horse. Like, not even once during childhood.

Another colleague admitted they also have never sat on a horse.

My hypothesis is that most people have at one point in their life sat on a horse.

🏇 🐎 🐴

Have you sat on a horse?

Please boost for scientific accuracy.

Okay Mastodon, do your thing!

I'm looking for recommendations for audiobooks 😁

Preferably simple enough that I can keep up while doing other stuff at the same time, but not so simple that I get bored,

The last series was Skullduggery Pleasant, if that helps.

I'm curious to know what people think about Anthropic's claim that Claude found 500 high-severity vulnerabilities in open-source packages. Has anyone confirmed that these vulns were indeed high-severity and hadn't been discovered before? Is this development as big a deal as Anthropic says? Any other critiques?
