Instagram blocked the #joinPixelfed hashtag not long ago, and Twitter too.

Don't forget that 😉

Talking publicly about any cryptocurrency investments you may have -- let alone bragging about them -- strikes me as a very risky flex. We're starting to see more reports of people outside the cybercrime scene getting robbed at home, and forced at gunpoint to give up their crypto accounts or wallets. There is a LOT of room for growth here, and there are a wealth of targets or "targs" as the thieves call them.

These attacks expose a fundamental risk of crypto: At the end of the day, YOU are the bank. For criminals, there is certainly a risk that someone can get hurt or killed in these robberies and home invasions, but the up front investment needed to carry out these muggings is practically nil, while the potential payoff is astronomical.

Am I the only one who finds questions like “what are your favourite [subject]?” impossible to answer?

I just can’t avoid overthinking these types of questions. Same with things like “if you had only one [thing] to watch/read/play on a desert island/for the rest of your life, what would it be?”

Again, I end up thinking of every possibility into the most literal sense possible, and can’t answer.

Because apple has long abandoned this, someone in my town thought this was dead and was going to toss it in the trash.

Luckily, it can be liberated with #linux!

@gsuberland A friend of mine has seriously looked into starting a business of "neutering" smart TVs.

Open it up, completely remove the motherboard. Keep power supply and panel, replace the electronics with an FPGA that just takes HDMI/DisplayPort in and drives the panel.

Then resell it as a dumb display.

i think it's readyish

My son wanted to be a white knight chess piece this year. We typically make his costumes and I decided to tackle this one. The result is in two pieces. The base is made from foam pipe insulation covered in an old bed sheet. The head is foam core with internal pool noodle scaffolding.

Just a quick tip for anyone making games, drawing art, writing books, or doing any other form of creative work…

Don’t just post about your stuff in artist/creator focused spaces, since other artists and creators are not your audience.

Just putting it out there, since a lot of people end up only promoting their work to other creators, then wondering why they’re not doing so well…

2. People move enough horses often enough that there are dedicated horse transport flights.
3. There are enough dedicated horse transport flights that there are purpose built horse transport cargo planes with a small amount of passenger space for vets and horse people.
4. Theres a button that puts these planes into horse mode.
