Mine also got delivered today. What's even more fascinating: I ordered several mugs and stickers on friday at 09:00 AM and they got delivered TODAY at 11 AM. Never received anything quicker 😁
In all honestly I wonder how Mastodon operates. To me, it seems like however many plushies you order from wherever you're ordering them from, you should just get more. If a singular purchase makes a profit, isn't more better? Or are there tax reasons not to do this? Or do you never expect to sell this many?
I know it's rich asking this as an outsider, I wouldn't know how much budget there even is for this and maybe you were going off sales numbers from last year. I guess I'd just be interested in knowing why this happened, not because I'm disappointed (I got mine hehe) but because there seems to be people wanting to buy them and you presumably being interested in selling them (unless this would make you lose nonprofit status or something)
@ErikUden It's the sticker sheets that got sold out, not the plushies! And they're going to get restocked soon. But to answer your question, producing too many is a risk: There is a large upfront cost and an ongoing storage cost. I try to cautiously base the numbers on past sales, mailing list subscribers, and poll respondents on Mastodon.
@ErikUden If we could get the plushies in some physical stores, I think we could start producing them more regularly, because I genuinely believe it's a great toy that can rival any other toy being sold in stores right now. If you have some connections in that area, let me know 😉
saw your post, went to check the store, told @jan they were there and the mini plushies too and he ordered them before either of us got the mail that the mini plushie were available.
Conclusion: you inadvertently did post about them 😏
Texas is back to using its 2025 congressional map, at least temporarily, after Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito granted the state’s request to pause a court ruling that would have required using the lines legislators drew in 2021.
The administrative ruling is a first step before the court decides whether to pause the use of the 2025 map, drawn to increase GOP seats in the U.S. House, for the rest of the legal battle.

Recognise that we are all on our separate and collective journeys, learning what we can when we can. Do not waste much of your life on people who are unkind and refuse to learn. Recognise that justice is critical to peace. Letting people off for dangerous and hurtful behaviour simply means that others are likely to be hurt as well. Reconciliation, the taking of responsibility, and rehabilitation are optimal outcomes of true justice. Vengeance and harsh punishment are not justice. Let kindness be your guide in all interactions.

you can also install it excessively easily from php sources (kudos!) on your own server. This is very important to keep control on what runs on your machines, and when you need to debug it, you understand how it works better. All in one feels magically easy but you dont know how it works and you dont truly own it.

Launch tomorrow of our exhibition showing three years of work about grievability, solastalgia, and land at The Dock, Carrick-on-Shannon, Leitrim (Ireland).
We'll have a performance and procession at 2:30 sharp.
thank you for the post. I was genuinely considering getting a board to try out some lower-level programming after spending the last 7 years in webdev / JS land. Are there any alternatives you would recommend?
Sad to see a beloved ecosystem get taken behind the barn..
It was popular, but actually the stacking hat idea was poor and the IDE underwhelming. I've got a board, but usually I just put a PIC18F on stripboard with desired I/O, programming header and maybe a USB socket. Early ones in Assembler or C, later ones programmed in JAL. Or use a Raspberry Pi, though I think HW form factor / layout is poor. My Arduino is gathering dust.
I guess Adafruit will be looking for a replacement platform. Qualcomm are a double dip patent troll.
today Arduino, tomorrow maybe Raspberry, who knows. Capitalism always benefited from enclosing the commons. A lot of meritocracy in the discourse, but then in the practice, steal all you can from the community. I am aware that FOSS has to allow all freedom, but I prefer the licenses that prevent closed source corpos from stealing us and enclosing us out of what we the community made great together...
The Arduino community will slowly die. Big tech can't seem to understand why the thriving things they buy wither after purchase. They don't understand the changes they make to enrich themselves are the very things that make them lose money.
