@Rhew also wym here I've never seen one of these in my life
He’s here! The prototype, anyway. He’s big, squishy, and friend-shaped. We’ll try to make him as affordable as possible. You’ll have to wait a couple more months to get one, but we might open pre-orders relatively soon.
there's this innovative new idea called "using the computer that's right in front of you" but I guess that's not secure enough or sth

If you're using Firefox, your first add-on should be uBlock Origin. At this point, it's not just blocking ads. It's basic Internet hygiene.
However, especially if you handle sensitive sites like bank/payment portals or one to several social accounts, your second add-on should be this little thing called Firefox Multi-Account Containers.
It's extremely useful. You can keep the defaults or wipe them all and make your own. So long as you don't sign in to things outside of containers, things opened in Firefox by default won't have access to your accounts. Sites you sign in to will only be signed in on that specific container. Links followed in Fun will not have access to your already signed-in sites on Bank. Links opened from your social account in Personal don't risk accidental interactions from a different social account under Professional.
Social containers are even more helpful for sites that don't support account switching. Even if they do, all you have to do is use a different account in each container and you can view both accounts side-by-side.
Oh, and it's published by Mozilla themselves within Firefox's add-on repository. You can trust it about as much as you trust Firefox.

My friend @porsupah - offline name Zoe - died last night in hospital, of the cancer that was diagnosed back at the end of 2022.
She was a lovely person as I’m sure many of you know - kind, generous, and always ready to help and support others. And very good at putting a cheerful face on things, even with those of us who knew her irl.
More obituary posting to follow, but that’s the important part.
re: fedi accounting
@noracodes @wxcafe@social.wxcafe.net I'm pretty sure for all but the largest instances it's the same, and I don't know any instance other than Mastosoc that pays salaries (though I also don't keep up with it so I might just not be aware)
re: fedi accounting
@noracodes @wxcafe@social.wxcafe.net I'm not paid to run this instance and other than one 70€ donation I've paid for all infra as I've taken it over from the previous admin
