Ex-Senior Technical Staff Member and Master Inventor at IBM. Currently taking a sabbatical. Interested in lots of things, but particularly in science and technology. A fan of rational thought, good governance and citizenship.
@Extelec I remember hand drawing things like that (but likely a lot simpler!) at uni on pieces of A1. Always used pencil, as there were invariably lots revisions, before finalising it by going over it all again in pen. Thank God we now have ECAD systems like KiCAD!
Matthias KirschnerOn the topic of #moderation in the #Fediverse and if it is ok to remove someone from e.g. a #Mastodon server, I was reminded about this #xkcd again: https://xkcd.com/1357/ #fediversefachtag

Jerry 🦙💝🦙I just read another news article about why mastodon didn’t make it and is dying. It’s very sad to hear and probably explains why I have to keep adding more server capacity to handle all the people quitting mastodon.
Carl MalamudToday, I am allowing unlimited reads of this message/toot by all unverified users. Go crazy.
@semioticstandard Worse, what's left of it is a harsher, nastier, less forgiving place too.
@mizblueprint One imagines that Google switched off the services that he was no longer paying for. That's how the cloud works...
Erik Uden => Every public institution posting warnings or threats on Twitter is now incapable of warning anyone without a Twitter account or anyone with a Twitter account that read more than 600 posts / day.
The need for independent social media / social media owned by you, aka the Fediverse, becomes more blatantly obvious by the day.
As Elon Musk is ravaging against projects like Nitter, or other alternative frontends, which barely scrapes together the few cents needed to keep Twitter afloat monetarily after his changes - making the platform more unusable by the second - we are building the alternative the world needs with #MastodonDE. It ain’t perfect, but it’s sure as hell close to it.
@t0nyyates Always good to be prepared :)
