I didn't manage to find an mstdn instance that flipped all the switches.
I think I'll go with social.tchncs.de
Aral BalkanZuck: yea so we’re joining the fediverse and I even got some instance admins to sign ndas and federate
Friend: what!? how’d you manage that one?
Zuck: they came to us
Zuck: i don’t know why
Zuck: they “trust me”
Zuck: dumb fucks

kaoudisThis is your yearly reminder to not implement, or use, the so-called X-XSS-Protection header https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/X-XSS-Protection since it causes more harm than good
X-XSS-Protection - HTTP | MDN
The HTTP X-XSS-Protection response header is a feature of Internet Explorer, Chrome and Safari that stops pages from loading when they detect reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks. These protections are largely unnecessary in modern browsers when sites implement a strong Content-Security-Policy that disables the use of inline JavaScript ('unsafe-inline').
Follower-power: I am looking for a Mastodon instance focussing on electronics / DIY
The official Mastodon instance search isn't of much help. Any ideas, or am I out of luck?
Time to move away from mastodon.social. I am not having any of this Meta Threads.
★ Amy Star ★1. Meta embraces ActivityPub, federates with mastodon.social, uses Fediverse servers as a "look at all the people you can talk to on day one!"
2. People on Fediverse start following/mingling with Threads accounts, thereby tightly integrating the network effect between the two
3. People decide that if they can get access to the Fediverse through Threads instead of Mastodon, which is for "dumb nerds", they'll go with Threads
4. "Threads will be ending support for ActivityPub on September 1st, 2026 - click here to import your Mastodon account"
5. Fediverse users leave en masse so they can keep talking to their friends on Threads
6. Blog post Eugen: "I didn't want to believe they would go this far"
Graham Sutherland / Polynomialat some point I'm going to have to write a blog post talking about the significance of bit depth in linear PWM LED drivers when applying a gamma curve, and the challenges involved when designing the driver electronics that attempt to solve non-linear brightness performance.
(edit: I guess I essentially just wrote the blog post in the thread below lol)

gaytabasemozilla is now removing comments criticising the 'ai help' https://github.com/mdn/yari/issues/9230
The AI help button is very good but it links to a feature that should not exist · Issue #9230 · mdn/yari
Summary I made a previous issue pointing out that the AI Help feature lies to people and should not exist because of potential harm to novices. This was renamed by @caugner to "AI Help is linked on...
