I don't think everyone is aware of just how far the TikTok filters have come when it comes to changing people's appearance in real-time, with no latency and no visual artifacts.

I've compiled two videos showcasing the new beauty filter and the teen filter, if you're curious:

Last night was wild! Here's what my camera saw after I went to bed. #alaska #aurora

Apparently there is now a genuine "Mastodon For Dummies" book:

➡️ https://www.dummies.com/article/technology/social-media/general-social-media/mastodon-for-dummies-cheat-sheet-297062

It's a real physical book, it's in bookshops and libraries! Depending on where you live, it's out now or out this week.

I haven't read it (yet) but the index seems promising and they even cover non-Mastodon Fediverse platforms including lesser known ones like @inventaire

(Thanks to @technomancy for highlighting this release!)

The Netherlands is doing a pilot program to supply #fediverse accounts for all Dutch university students! :undefined:

One of my friends sent this to me and I thought it needed to be shared here.

I’m still kinda on the edge about this stuff. On the one hand, it’s definitely worrying if companies can get away with not paying people for artistic work, and that’s something that’s going to hurt a lot of jobs going forward.

But it also has high potential to make hobbyist projects better (like fan games and hacks), and to fill in for games that can’t be done with manual work for scale/practicality reasons. Like voices for hundreds of NPCs with complex dialogue options.

There are three kinds of timelines on here:

Home - Main timeline, shows all posts by people you follow, plus posts which include hashtags you follow

Local - Shows all public posts by all accounts on your server

Federated - Shows all public posts by all accounts that your server has noticed

On the official Mastodon app, Local is called "Community", click the magnifying glass 🔍 to see it.
