Over a year ago I got this antique porcelin shaving mug, but only recently started using it (I had to use up my other soap first). Most mugs I've seen have a single bowl you put soap in and lather from.
What is pretty unique about this mug is that it has a lower bowl you can fill with hot water and soak your brush, and an upper bowl for your shaving soap. Before this, I had been soaking my brush in a separate container.
We are all aware that many surnames are derived from professions (Smith, Cooper, Weaver). In the course of my research into the history of weaving I didn't realize how many others derived from cloth production:
* Fuller - someone who fulls woolen cloth (works cloth in water to shrink/fluff it)
* Walker - derived from Waulker, someone who Waulks, or fulls, fabric
* Shearer - shears sheep, or removes excess nap from cloth
* Draper - weaver/seller of cloth
* Dyer - dyes cloth

@Wildbill @Viss I suspect, like with email, there are different levels to this. The administrative overhead of an instance for just yourself (or a few friends/family) would probably not be too bad.
The overhead (in particular moderation) for an instance used by the larger public would be more significant.
@micahflee I'm also interested in it from a "This is what cyberpunk promised me" standpoint.
@Wildbill Thanks!
Here's something you couldnt do on twitter:
https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/21258
file a bug report, and have people actually fix the bug.
mastodon is kinda neat :D
I took another look at updating phosh-antispam to gtk-4 and libadwaita. It took a bit of time, but it looks to be finished!
I updated phosh-antispam to 3.0~beta. Feel free to test and let me know how it works!
@sisiwei @themarkup Welcome!
@coleens_@infosec.exchange I'm a firm believer in making sure how I spend my time (especially outside work) aligns with the things I say are priorities. When I realize they aren't, I try to adjust. So I'd *like* to say things would be much the same, just the hours allocated to things might change.
I'd spend more time reading, weaving and pursuing my many other hobbies. I'd travel more. I'd likely still volunteer some time/expertise for free software projects.
@kyle II picked the Most Active / followed People / TOP50 on this Instance in a List, thats somehow working quite well for me.
While following people's boosts and hashtags is enough for me, I understand why some people new to chronological timelines are fearful they will miss out on popular posts.
It might be interesting if each instance had a "trending" account you could follow that routinely boosted the latest popular posts. That would be opt-in and it doesn't mask the rest of your timeline.
See our good friend and frequent guest, @kyle, discuss supply chain security in this CNBC piece on manufacturing consumer electronics in the USA. We're excited to see @purism in the news!

#NewReporting: Major tax filing companies—including TaxAct, TaxSlayer, and H&R Block—have been sending users' information to Facebook as they file their taxes online.
The penalties for disclosing data without consent could be steep.

@matthew_d_green Now that they have gotten heavier into the advertising business, and have successfully pushed competitors out of their space, they have business reasons too.
When I hear them talk about privacy it's the same definition as when Google or others say it. They mean protecting your data from third parties or competitors, but not themselves.
