Sleepy Pabu is ready for belly rubs!
🇵🇱💪🦅🍺
![@TheDealMakerGuy (Twitter):
A Polish YouTuber just heated his house by burning 133 Lidl donuts in his stove.
14°C-→22°C. Burned for 5+ hours.
Donuts have almost the same energy value as wood pellets - but at €0.0024 per donut, they're insanely cheaper.
Fat Thursday in Poland just solved energy crisis.🍩

The CIA World Factbook has been a reference work for many, including Wikipedia for many years. It's been killed. Just like that. But facts still matter! Can we rebuild something better on top of 
@wikidata? Hit me up if you're interested!

Have you seen this? This recent study of mode share (the % share of transportation trips that are by car, transit, walking, biking etc) relative to city size and income levels in almost 800 cities in 61 countries. Interesting results. HT @davidzipper.bsky.social@bsky.brid.gy www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Now is a good time to let those shoulders drop.
Artist Jovino makes bulletproof vests! Instagram is a hard place to leave as an artist, since it works really well for that. I'd. Like to boost it here. Two of these are in honor of vests - Alex Pretti and Liam Conejo Ramos. We need art during these times.

Add Data.Natural to some Haskell code. Next thing I know, it pulls in profunctors and kan-extensions. Really?

anyway, thanks for everything treehouse quoted posts patch ❤️
but tonight I am told we will finally be deploying Mastodon 4.5 (or at least there is a scheduled window to try, it may slip a few days).
thanks to 
@linaHoshino Lina (星乃リナ) 🩵 3D Yuri Wedding 2026!!! for writing the necessary code to migrate treehouse-style quotes to upstream-compatible quotes.
but as the treehouse quotes patch rides off into the sunset, it would be nice to reflect on why we made it and where it came from.
a thread.

For anyone who wants to see my new project or ask Agent questions, I'll be around 30(ish) minutes before again (or 2pm CT).

올릴 그림이 없을 땐 백업..~
These days I have seed and flavorful vegetables on my mind. I'm grateful to be part of an international community with that passion. One of the places on the internet I learn the most these days is a #Discourse #forum dedicated to that topic and I wish it could federate with Mastodon and similar networks, so the conversations could take place here too. Atm you need a 500$ business plan to integrate #ActivityPub plugin.

Does anyone know of a #wayland compatible tool that can be used to find the mouse cursor?
I have a vague memory of a project that put some really flashy bling around the cursor (I can't remember if it was always on.. or just when the movement happened).
I am trying to re-create a feature of #durden / #arcan which makes your mouse cursor sparkle green after it has been idle for a bit and moves.

Before you marry a person, you should first make them use a computer with a slow Internet connection to see who they really are.
This cursed idea must be stopped. No matter how faceblind you are and might want this as a party trick, computerized facial recognition for all makes the world an unsafe place for millions of people, especially those who use obscurity to hide from violent ex partners. The server will collect information. If not now, then later, and we will have made another panopticon. #surveillance

After shutting down #HolosDiscover, we're rethinking the approach with #HolosIndex: users explicitly opt in by adding #HolosIndex to their bio with interest tags, then submit their profile. No assumptions, no default settings.
This will power interest-based discovery across the #Fediverse, helping people find each other through shared interests. Still all through #ActivityPub of course, with real-time deletions and updates.
