I keep getting really annoyed by this tiny bit of missing skirting board. It’s less than a metre, so not worth buying a whole length of skirting board about. But it looked well ugly.

So I fixed it with Lego.

The EU should fund open source. So should the US. So should corporations that are using it for any number of reasons to keep their systems afloat.

Ditch the Algorithm Drama: Level Up Your Social Life on the Fediverse! 🚀 1of5

Tired of endless scrolling through toxic feeds dictated by who-knows-what algorithm? As a queer, BIPOC mental health advocate, I get it. That's why I'm buzzing about the #fediverse i.e. the decentralized #SocialWeb that puts YOU back in control. For young adults craving authentic connection and a healthier online vibe, it's time to explore alternatives to mainstream social media.

So, why should you, as a growing adult, make the leap to the Fediverse and platforms like Mastodon?

1. Escape the Noise & AI Overload: Imagine a social space free from constant bombardment by AI-generated fluff and algorithm-driven content that often leaves you feeling drained. The Fediverse offers a refreshing escape where you choose the communities, filling your feed with what you care about, not just what an algorithm thinks will keep you glued to your screen. Say hello to genuine conversations and goodbye to the endless scroll of "AI slop"!
