@cwebberChristine Lemmer-Webber nothing prevents you from adding a semicolon to the end of each line in lisp if you want toI haven't heard of GoToSocial but @cmccullough moved from a GTS instance to his new home and lost a bunch of his followers.
Can we boost this around and help his peeps find him?
cool, so there's a whole new github dork people can do: claude chatlogs.
they live in .claude/logs/ and are full text records of peoples entire conversations with claude
and they're ending up in public on github because i guess people arent adding them to .gitignore
happy monday! ai is going great!
Right - I need to move my email away from GMail.
I need recommendations for services, and I don’t necessarily mind paying for good service. I’d preferably like to be able to use my own domain.

How to block Bluesky from Mastodon:
1. Go to the profile page of the account @bsky.brid.gy@bsky.brid.gy
2. Click ⋯
3. Click "Block Domain" to stop seeing Bluesky accounts
4. Click "Block" to prevent your own account being bridged to Bluesky
You may need to copy-paste @bsky.brid.gy@bsky.brid.gy into the search box on your server to make the profile appear.
If you can't find the account @bsky.brid.gy@bsky.brid.gy, your server is probably already blocking the Bluesky bridge.
ICE and other federal agents continue to occupy metro Minneapolis, leaving many people afraid to leave their homes and in need of assistance from others sin the community. You can help from anywhere by contributing to a regional Immigrant Rapid Response Fund set up by the Women’s Foundation of Minneapolis. This is a Mastodon for Minneapolis effort! https://www.grapevine.org/giving-circle/doWhZ3Z/Mastodon-for-Minneapolis 1/
Any donation helps. In under 24 hours, our community has raised just over $1600 for people impacted by the federal invasion of Minneapolis. https://www.grapevine.org/giving-circle/doWhZ3Z/Mastodon-for-Minneapolis 3/
If you follow 
@inthehandsPaul Cantrell you can get a firsthand account of what it has been like to live in Minneapolis under an invasion by the Trump regime. Paul thinks that today ICE is focused on suburbs, where it will be harder for activists on tbe ground to follow ICE, alert people, and document ICE-instigated illicit violence.
There may be fewer searing photos and videos coming out of Minneapolis. That doesn’t mean less hardship for immigrants and people of color there. https://www.grapevine.org/giving-circle/doWhZ3Z/Mastodon-for-Minneapolis 4/

If you run a mastodon instance, it's time to upgrade. There are some security issues fixed in the version released today: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/releases/tag/v4.5.5

AI boom could falter without wider adoption, Microsoft chief Satya Nadella warns
https://www.irishtimes.com/business/2026/01/20/ai-boom-could-falter-without-wider-adoption-microsoft-chief-satya-nadella-warns/
Oh dear me are people not "adopting" lying autocomplete widely enough to keep the line going up? Oh noes. Nobody could have foreseen this! 🤯
I cannot wait for the official announcement of a new #Microslop programme, Adopt-an-AI. 🤣
What an absolute tool. "The bubble might burst if you all don't help pump it!" 🤡
Remember, we are causing the AI boom to falter because we keep using the term "slop":

This is not very nice of us and is costing Microslop, and its slopholders and inveslops, real money.
