Happen to be learning about Mastodon by reading about nostr (the “truly censorship-resistant alternative to Twitter that has a chance of working” thing Jack has been talking about)

https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nostr

Does make some good points but right now the foundation of Mastodon is already well-suited for our needs coming from Twitter and the admins seem excited to be hosting these communities

A reminder, if you own your own domain you can quickly setup webfinger like this https://www.hanselman.com/.well-known/webfinger (can just be a static file, or dynamic) so that if someone searches mastodon (use me as an example) for @shanselman then it will call out to my domain, find me, and tell you my aliases, which is my account at hachyderm.io. Cool eh? Should take you just a few min to implement!

So many painful decisions by massive tech companies really get my DIY genes fired up.

The guy who wants to put neurolinks in our heads worries about people knowing where he is.

FWIW I still hope Elon succeeds with Twitter. Why wish failure on anyone? But for me, not letting people post links to their other accounts was just too much.

Working on some new art.

I want to read a regular publication of cool innovations in obscure industries.

Grids on the back of wrapping paper, reflective paint on road lines, pre-lit Christmas trees.

Things that have been largely the same for decades but slowly add new changes/features that become the norm.
