@MarkHoltom@mastodonapp.uk I like that you excluded a couple additional surprising facts as an exercise for the reader.

@EdCates@mastodon.social @futurebird@sauropods.win Yay, another one for my evolutionary memes collection!

@evanprodromou @example It’s probably worth adding an explanation why tags.pub is necessary; aka: why Mastodon’s existing “follow hashtag” feature is inadequate.

@parisba@cloudisland.nz This happened to me a few years ago. I posted about it here: https://web.archive.org/web/20220731072922/https://twitter.com/com/status/1466928315562958850
The combo that got it resolved, I think, was: 1) posting the shit out of it on social media (I had a large‑ish Twitter account at the time + Reddit + HN + Apple Discussion forum), followed by 2), emailing tcook@apple.com. I got a reply from his executive team a few days after emailing. Good luck!
Replying to
@parisba@cloudisland.nz I may be one of the first people this happened to. At least, I was the first person to post about it. Since then, I’ve had dozens of people contact me, begging to help them unlock their accounts (what can I do??) so it’s not uncommon.
The takeaway for others: never use Apple gift cards.

@alimox@theforkiverse.com @Casey@theforkiverse.com Just something nice about Mastodon: when creating an account, you can mark it as an automated/bot account. This status is visible to users.

@SRAZKVT@tech.lgbt @Viss@mastodon.social #TIL
.gitignore lists patterns for files that are part of the project’s expected layout (e.g., build artifacts, temporary files) so they aren’t added to the repository, but the rules are shared with everyone who clones the repo.
.git/info/exclude works like a personal .gitignore that is not committed. It’s meant for files you don’t want Git to track but that aren’t relevant to other collaborators. Use it for local‑only files like IDE caches/settings.

Here’s the meme, it just needs an illustrator (anyone?):
First panel: (a person leaving their house) “Honey, I need to *clear my head*, I'm going for a walk.”
Second panel: (image of macropinna microstoma) “10 million years later…”

@jon@henshaw.social @MonaApp@mastodon.social Indeed, as posted here, Mona 7 requires iOS/iPadOS/macOS 26 for the Auto Translate feature: https://mastodon.social/@MonaApp/115491668312875081
Replying to
@jon@henshaw.social @MonaApp@mastodon.social How do you enable the automatic translation?
For me, it’s still a manual step: I have to press the Translate button to view the translated text. Same as in Mona 6.
I presumed “automatic“ meant Mona 7 would automatically translate posts as I scroll through them in my feed.

@johncarlosbaez@mathstodon.xyz Is it a coincidence that the Hubble radius is aligned with the Schwarzschild radius? My intuition tells me that the whole observable universe is rather too spread out to be on the verge of becoming a black hole.
@WedaleBooks Hi! 👋 On the Fediverse, you don’t really need followers, you just need to post with hashtags, then people who subscribe to the hashtags will see it. It’s much easier here to get interactions as a small account than the other social networks.

@Em0nM4stodon Mastodon’s Explore → Posts view is an algorithmic feed of trending posts that uses favorite count in its algorithm. Favoriting a post helps a post appear here. It’s where I found your post! Source: https://github.com/mastodon/documentation/issues/1458

@aby@aus.social @aral@mastodon.ar.al Reminds me of this quote:
“I must study politics and war, that our sons may have liberty to study mathematics and philosophy. Our sons ought to study mathematics and philosophy, geography, natural history and naval architecture, navigation, commerce and agriculture in order to give their children a right to study painting, poetry, music, architecture, statuary, tapestry and porcelain.”

@GrahamDowns@mastodon.africa @Viss@mastodon.social Because git status doesn’t recuse, I like to use fd --type f which by default excludes files matching patterns in .gitignore, .git/info/exclude, et al.
I see people being misled by the deceptively named “Retirement and Personal Savings Protection Act” (A.G. file 25-0041A1).
It will have zero benefit for normies. It doesn’t cut current taxes, and there is no pending new tax aimed at ordinary-income Californians. Its target is 25-0024A1, the billionaire-tax initiative.
It’s funded by tech billionaires Sergey Brin, Michael Moritz, Eric Schmidt, Patrick Collison, et al. It’s a red herring. Don’t fall for it.

@xjki I’ve been thinking a lot about this quote by Herbert Simon: Discussing the new abundance of information that printing, mass media and computers begat, he noted that “wealth of information means a dearth of something else: a scarcity of whatever it is that information consumes.” He was referring to attention, now the most precious commodity of all.

@http@infosec.exchange The filter that works for this site is Bypass Paywalls Clean [1] but it doesn't seem to be compatible with 1Blocker. For Safari, I recommend AdGuard for iOS Pro [2] because it is OSS and uses the commonly-used ABP filter syntax (also used by uBlock Origin).
Or, you can use the Userscripts Safari extension [3] with the Bypass Paywalls userscript [4].

@jon@henshaw.social @MonaApp@mastodon.social That looks different from mine. I suspect this uses the on-device translation service provided by Apple Intelligence, requiring iOS 26 with at least iPhone 15 Pro?
Do you have an option to use Auto Translate with DeepL or ChatGPT?
Mine looks like this, on iOS 18: https://mastodon.social/@com/115730110394076027

@pkreissel@volksverpetzer.social @signalapp@mastodon.world You can consider Signal usernames to simply be temporary invite codes, in fact they should have just named them “invite codes.” Use a username to invite someone to chat with you, then change it.

@windsheep@infosec.exchange I like it too, it's the best macOS Seatbelt wrapper I've found. However, it's worth keeping in mind that it's a new project and the API is rapidly changing. It has a ways to go before it's full-featured and stable.

Bullshit website blocks copy/cut/paste? This is the bookmarklet to unblock it (works everywhere except ):
