New change landing in Mastodon for Android soon! In user testing, people have expressed confusion over “why are all the handles so long?”
We're presenting handles on profile pages in a new style, with the username and server separated. Tapping the server will show you more details, along with a neat easter egg animation when you tap the rows.
@grishka did a phenomenal job on this animation 🙏

Baldur's Gate 3 hits over half a million Steam user reviews - ranked 19th most popular
Baldur's Gate 3 from Larian Studios has managed to hit a mark not many games do, as it's crossed over the half a million mark on Steam for user reviews with an Overwhelmingly Positive rating overall.Liam Dawe (GamingOnLinux)
What's that? A game without a season pass and $1000 of DLC AND it released on GOG without any DRM AND it's doing good? That should be impossible according to the "gaming industry" at large!
I love how much of a middle finger to the corporate mouthpieces this game is.

We’ve just published an update about this Mastodon trial which has been running for the last 6 months – you can read it here: bbc.co.uk/rd/blog/2024-02-exte…
We are going to continue our trial here for at least another six months while we share our findings internally and seek more engagement from other BBC teams. We are also planning to start researching ways to publish more BBC content using ActivityPub.

A little-advertised bridge just appeared between the Fediverse and Twitter founder Dorsey's new social network. It intends to bridge accounts that don't opt out.
Doing this as opt out is a pretty immoral thing to do. Also unclear how legal opt-out bridges are in some countries. The bridge is using these domains:
snarfed.org
brid.gy
Server admins may want to defederate these to prevent their members being bridged without their knowledge or permission.

One thing that you should learn about homegrown and feditips is that misrepresentation of information is something that they have done a lot and continue to do. Honestly in my opinion it's extremely unprofessional, maybe not the greatest idea to follow their advice.

Thank you for this reflection. I think that's a really healthy attitude. Social media should be about meeting people where they are, not implicitly banning them until they join you in your tech choices. Anything that supports helping people connect as openly as possible is a good thing.
Compare to email. Yes, I would much prefer everyone to join me in hosting their email at a co-op with FLOSS tools. But in the meantime, I'm glad we can still email each other.
Bridge is fine and all, but I personally wouldn't count on those connecting me with networks which don't really care about openness and federation.
Open doesn't mean to be open to those who don't want openness. Similar with tolerance.

Because fungal proteins are closer to animal proteins, fungi are an appropriate food for pets and humans. Koji and many fungal proteins contain all 10 canine essential amino acids in greater concentration than cow flesh.
We can grow fungi sustainably, using a fraction of the resources and land needed for cow, pig and chicken flesh - or even fish!
