Benj EdwardsInstead of making a robot that can wash dishes, it may be easier to create one that crushes them up and recycles them into new dishes with a 3D printer 😜

David ZipperIn The Atlantic, I explained why oversized EVs pose growing danger to those walking, biking, or inside smaller cars.
Biden and the US Department of Transportation have avoided acknowledging the risks – let alone addressing them.
Steve Troughton-SmithDid you know Apple has an open-source implementation of its video flashing/strobing/epilepsy detection feature in Swift, using Metal and CoreVideo, that you can use to preprocess your own content? I did not: https://github.com/apple/VideoFlashingReduction

Taylor CarriganWe've been working really hard on a new Pride Edition Sport Band, watch face, and iPhone wallpaper. It was an honor to help lead visual and interaction design alongside my team mates—incredible industrial and visual designers—and our partners across so many groups who worked together to bring this vision to life. Designed with Pride in California. https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2023/05/apple-watch-pride-edition-celebrates-the-lgbtq-community/

It sucks reading all the Mastodon vs Bluesky takes because the whole *point* of decentralized social media was that it didn’t have to be a zero-sum game. Yes Mastodon is more nerdy and yes Bluesky is more “normal”, but if they all used ActivityPub then everyone could win!
But instead of contributing to the open social web, Bluesky decided to fork the ecosystem with their own proprietary protocol :/ And now we’re headed for the same siloed world as before
MastodonYou asked for it, and it’s coming. Quote posts, search, and groups are on their way. In the meantime, check out the new onboarding experience launching today. https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2023/05/a-new-onboarding-experience-on-mastodon/
A new onboarding experience on Mastodon
Today we’re making signing up on Mastodon easier than ever before. We understand that deciding which Mastodon service provider to kick off your experience with can be confusing. We know this is a completely new concept for many people, since traditionally the platform and the service provider are one and the same. This choice is what makes Mastodon different from existing social networks, but it also presents a unique onboarding challenge. To make this step easier, we now have a default sign-up option that works with a server we operate. If you wish to leave or join a different server, you can do so at any time.
Felix HäckerSo folks, don't forget to check if your Ikea chair is compatible with your screen. I'm not kidding. A thread 🧵.
I've had the problem with my new screen for several weeks now, that every now and then the screen goes black for a few seconds.
Today I had enough and wanted to investigate the problem. So I started changing all the cables, plugging the screen into a different socket, and and and. Nothing helped.
Dan GillmorThe EU thinks Wikipedia is the same kind of platform as Facebook or Amazon. This is disastrous for knowledge, and a demonstration of pure ignorance in Europe's regulatory infrastructure. https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/ip_23_2413
Did you know you can verify your account on Mastodon? It's free, privacy-friendly, based on open web standards, and available to everyone!
