Oh yeah, right, my screenshots are now larger on mobile than on desktop. Woops

Oh, accidentally deleted the domain which makes Tusky not post the image, apparently awoo.space/media/zhPqBMCZ5pSFj

Hewlett-Packard Product Naming Team, December 2017:

Well done everyone, you absolutely nailed it. A perfect name. Captures sleekness, power, slightly edgy

The best thing you as a user can do to protect yourself against #meltdown and #spectre is install an ad blocker. uBlock Origin, specifically.

Practice good security hygiene, and you’ll have less to worry about when the next threat comes along.

I mean look at this. It isn't even a good animation. But somehow I really do like it. Plus it's really noticeable, which hopefully gets me less rained on in the future

The LG lockscreen includes the feature to display a rain or snow forecast by showing a really tacky overlay animation.

It's great, I've had it on since I got the phone

My girlfriend’s parents offered us plane ticket to #Amsterdam for christmas. We plan to go there in April and stay for 3 days. However, the places to stay look expensive and often not worth it (not clean, with many people, far from the historical center…), even on Airbnb. Are there mastodon users living there or who went there who could advice us about where to stay? Thank you!

The tragically funny thing is that it's probably the pin my sim card came with, because I one day just completely blanked on that and had to reset it. Now I was sure I remembered it, turns out I don't.

Block/mute discourse 

My advice: Be liberal with blocking and muting because that is necessary in order to function in online spaces these days.

Our species evolved in an environment where we might never meet more than a few hundred others over the course of our lifetime. We weren't made to be accessible to millions at their whim.

Your feed is a space you own, not a commons: Blocking/muting someone is the equivalent of no longer proactively inviting them over, which is solely your prerogative.
