Extremely sickos at the prospect of a new Flipper.

The Flipper One may be the ultimate Linux PC for hackers in 2026 - and I'm excited

The Flipper Zero's successor is expected to be a pocket-sized Linux computer with a more powerful, modular design.

Google crossed a threshold last month where over 50% of their users accessed it via IPv6.

If you were wondering if this would be a good time to make your service available over IPv6: yes. Yes, it would. https://www.google.com/intl/en/ipv6/statistics.html

@Mastodon I’m a big badge collector, so this made my day. My official Mastodon enamel pin badges arrived today, and seeing all three laid out on their backing cards just makes them even better.

The classic logo pin, the glittery Live Laugh Federate design, and the Mastodon Elephant pin all look brilliant. Really happy to support Mastodon at the same time.

If anyone else wants to support it too: https://shop.joinmastodon.org/

Have you seen this news?

#Mastodon just got funding to add end to end encryption into their software.

So, some time next year, you’ll be able to send truly private messages to the vast majority of the #Fediverse

Im so excited about this.

Because it’s an open spec, this opens the doors for every Fediverse app to join the party.

Yesterday, this project was a proof of concept. Today, Mastodon has turned it into a stampede.

"How does the management of such a storied journalistic institution come to a bargaining table and look you all in the eye and say, 'I don't care what you think?'" NewsGuild president Susan DeCarava told the strikers. "Because it's about power. It's about control." She added, "They don't want to acknowledge that they owe you the institution that they run. Well, today, they have to acknowledge your power."
