I think you can also add Mastodon profiles to your RSS reader. But I haven't tried since I don't use RSS (I would like to, but I don't know what RSS reader should I use):

Excessive olfactory memory in the insomniac fruit fly mutant:

"we report our surprising findings that insomniac (inc) Drosophila short sleep mutants, which lack a crucial adaptor protein for the autism-associated Cullin-3 ubiquitin ligase, exhibited excessive olfactory memory."

And then the paper goes on to inquire into the molecular basis of this, and reports:

"find that a mild attenuation of Protein Kinase A (PKA) signaling specifically rescued the sleep and longevity phenotypes of inc mutants. Surprisingly, this mild PKA signaling reduction further boosted the excessive memory in inc mutants, coupled with further exaggerated mushroom body overgrowth phenotypes."

Hallo @Friendica Support, ich habe einen User auf meiner Instanz in einem Beitrag der nur an meine Kontakte ging (also privat) mit einem @ erwähnt. Dieser Beitrag wurde auch veröffentlicht und den Kontakten angezeigt.
Es gibt allerdings eine Ausnahme: Der User, der in dem Beitrag mit @ erwähnt wurde, wurde nicht über eine Benachrichtigung benachrichtigt und der Beitrag selber wird ihm auch nicht in seiner Timeline angezeigt.

Es handelt sich um diesen Beitrag: anonsys.net/display/bf69967c-1…

Was läuft hier schief? Ich selber habe keine Erklärung dafür...
Ist das ein Bug in der aktuellen Stable?

I have two Mastodon instances that CONSTANTLY show up in my tootctl account cull as "EndlessredirectError": m.techsocial.site and social.jvan.be. Every single week. Any other admins know what's up with that? Are these dead sites? Troll sites? Technical errors? Why do they keep ending up back in my accounts list every week? The sites don't resolve in my browser, and adding them to my defederation doesn't seem to cause any accounts to be removed.

#fediblock #mastohelp #mastoadmin

in reply to Nate Bartram

seems like the error is rather descriptive of the problem: both of these instances are misconfigured to cause endless redirects.

I think the following should resolve it:

I hit most of those, FWIW.


in reply to Muse

I've always gravitated more to the "Peace" churches in general. I respected the anti-slavery sentiments and the conscientious objection to military service and refusal to salute the flag on the grounds that it was a form of idolatry (it is). It's cool that they turned out to be my people after all. 😀
in reply to Muse

Mine certainly didn't. They were in Poland and Russia hiding from the progroms.

My alma mater, however, was an Underground Railroad stop. Slave catchers were run out of town.

A heatwave right into town last week
She came from the island of Martinique
The can-can she dances will make you fry
The can-can is really reason why
We're having a heatwave
A tropical heatwave
The temperature's rising
It isn't surprising
She certainly can, can-can
She started a heatwave
By letting her seat wave
And in such a way that
The customers say that
She certainly can, can-can
Gee
Her anatomy
Made the mercury
Jump to 93
Yes sir

The term “DEI” is being used as a cover to tear apart much of the federal government. It’s not that this language didn’t exist before, but it’s being weaponized now. Suddenly the cold, impersonal-sounding acronym DEI has replaced “diversity initiatives,” “civil rights,” “equal rights,” “fairness,” and “anti-discrimination” in everyday conversation. I would suggest that one small thing we can do is return to using those actual words. This week's comic:

@dch This was a game changer in France when launched. Could access phone directory (freely), get news, get tinder-like/porn content (wooohooo!), get weather services, book appointments,…. A textual access to the world, some premises of bbs or what would be later internet. This, in an easy-to-get terminal even for homes where computers were nowhere to be found. This was a revolutionary device. we French seem to be often associated with revolutions, actually.

Warner Bros platform fighter MultiVersus goes offline for good in May gamingonlinux.com/2025/01/warn…

#WBGames Over a decade of history with profitable full retail price single / vs / co-op multiplayer fighting games all with various dlc / cosmetic / character in game purchases and you decided to do this.

Smash Bros is great, WB smash bros is fine, but givin it away and charging buckets of real world cash for characters and costumes will inevitably result in a small fat cat player base, a shallow gameplay development cycle and over emphasis on upsold content generation.
