@mhoye could use more detail on the tooling, as well as what actions a user who gets blocked can take to get unblocked.

From the post, this doesn't sound much different than the shared blacklists of email, which has loads of issues.

@Gina "what not to do" is still very valuable. Looking forward to whatever updates you can provide!

@Gina the abstract of the talk you were going to give had a massive number of interesting things you've tripped over in one way or another

@Gina totally get the lazy part. Still haven't been able to consistently blog things for similar reasons.

Maybe a fediverse message of "tried this today and it was terrible/awesome" would be light-weight enough for us to know where the journey is taking you.

@write_as is there any possibility of write.as being a more first-class citizen in the fediverse? That is, I'd like ActivityPub responses to blog posts to appear below the blog post, and able to reply to them from the blog account directly, similar to what most WordPress blogs seem to do, but in a truly federated fashion.

The Smithsonian announced today that they have released 2.8 million images into the public domain (CC0 license). In celebration of this I made a bot you can follow that will post one random image from the set every 8 hours:

The dual boot option for the Cosmo was officially launched yesterday. The Debian distro seems to work, at least up to the point where I try to install anything. Or goes into suspend mode. I'll be able to see what this is capable of Real Soon Now. cc @mhoye

@tfb the people I know turn them down and make them red to not disrupt night vision. Again, the sample group is mainly people interested in photography and astronomy, as well as pilots.

Whether other people get the benefit as a side effect, I find interesting but don't really care that much.

#2272 "Ringtone Timeline" 

@tfb @amiloradovsky@functional.cafe @selfcare blue light may not affect drowsiness, but a more red light does not impede night vision as much (hence its frequent use in photography/astronomy).

So, people may be doing the right thing for the wrong reasons.

At ecloud you get a unique user ID with synced email, calendars, contacts and documents mashable.com/article/british-g

@Gina hope you keep us updated on effects (both positive & negative) as you go.

After a few days I go through waves of irritability, inability to focus, headaches, etc. Curious to hear what others experience and coping strategies.
