For my part, I've always seen them as something at the discretion of the author. As the reader, you have a plethora of tools to disengage from unwanted content on Mastodon—with even better filters coming in 4.0—and harassment is not one of them. People who are arriving now have as much right to be here and bring their own culture as the ones who came before them.

About the Twitter development 

If you download your Twitter archive it arrives wrapped as a static HTML page, which is not very useful for doing anything with, and worse: it requires the original account to be still active to do useful things like enlarge the images since they use t.co links.

So here's a Python script to convert a Twitter archive to markdown or other formats: github.com/timhutton/twitter-a

Now you can archive your tweets in any way you want.

I don’t know if this will help anyone, but:

We (the Ostrom Workshop at Indiana University, plus me and my wife, both visiting scholars there) are putting on this salon at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, CA this coming Monday at 11am Pacific: events.iu.edu/ostromworkshop/e It's free, and online as well as in person. Registration is required for t he online side (it'll be zoomed). Sign up at that link. The speaker is Roger McNamee, former advisor to Mark Zuckerberg, and then the author of the bestseller, Zucked.

Our FLOSS Weekly interview with maintainer, Greg Kroah-Hartman, "Secrets of the Linux Kernel" is already up! Listen with your favorite podcast player or here: twit.tv/shows/floss-weekly/epi

We talked about everything from emailing patches to drivers and trust in open source software.

Greg is such a nice guy and made this a really fun episode to be a part of!

Tip on Mastodon "verification": There's no such thing as a universally "verified" user here, that being the nature of federated namespaces with different policies.

However, if you have control over a website that's strongly associated with you, you can put a specially-formed link on it to your profile here and it will show up with a checkmark next to it in your profile.

The checkmark is trustworthy only to the extent you trust the user's instance to correctly verify that the link is there.

So the old hidden feature of accessing Mastodon accounts via RSS has done the rounds again. If you missed it, just add .rss to a user URL, e.g.

mastodon.online/@vivaldibrowse

How might you use this? Well here is an idea, subscribe to yourself in an RSS reader and then use the RSS reader's search function to quickly find your old posts.

Oh… did we mention that Vivaldi has an RSS reader built in? 😉

In Sweden, blue means right.
In USA, blue means left.
In Sweden, red means left.
In USA, red means right.
In Sweden, a republikan tends to be left/middle/liberal and less often right (Republikan means you want Sweden become a republic, currently a monarchy.)
In USA, a republican is right.

If I understand it correctly... and I know I simplify descriptions.

Till skillnad från vindkraft som levererar osäkert i takt med vindförhållandet så är kärnkraften en stabil källa. Stopp i ett av kärnkraftsverken i Oskarshamn just nu!

Fantastic #fedi friends,

I'm not saying this in some kind of reaction to any current event. This is just what I'm feeling:

Let us keep cultivating this space that is ours; that is filled with #support, #learning, & #humility; that is putting our ideals of a #cooperative, #just, & #sustainable world into practice. Let us keep being the #change that we want to see.

Never, ever, ever stop.
