Pssst: influencers struggle with Mastodon because it's harder to influence people here. It's not because this place isn't neat.

Hey for no particular reason let’s all read up on this, kay?

#morsetodon now shows live toots from my homeserver, chaos.social! 🎉 (Or any other Mastodon server, if you add "#your.server" to the URL and refresh.)

On the desktop, you can scroll up/down, and pause with "space", and I added a cheat sheet.

This format is a pretty motivating learning environment for me – once I'm invested in reading a toot, *I wanna know how it ends*! #amateurradio

How did our ink integration work in A Highland Song?

Ink was originally designed as a choice-based interactive fiction engine (for games such as Sorcery and 80 Days), so how can it be used to make a more visual game?

Internet Archive suffered a major power outage over the weekend and we are still recovering; if the site seems a little janky and slow, that's why.

moscow spent an estimated $200-250 million on the terrible missile attack on #Ukraine today, according to Forbes.ua. Where does the #money come from? Yes, energy and other exports, but also — taxes the multinationals operating in #Russia pay. Unless foreign firms #exitRussia, they are involved in such attacks.

@jonn and if you really like references to France's darkest hours here is a video of an orchestra singing a renewed version of a video mocking Pétain in front of the headquarters of the far-right party: https://youtu.be/yCC16KD9zWQ?si=8ipsL56CjJbjVo1q

@jonn
Finally you have to understand that the rise of the far-right has been facilitated or even worse engineered by Macron in an attempt to be always presented as « the last wall against fascism » and easily win elections, by systematically destroying and diabolising leftist forces in France and on the opposite side allowing far-right ideas to enter in the public debate, even passing some of them as law.

⚡Le Pen against France providing long-range missiles, troops to Ukraine.

French far-right politician Marine Le Pen said in an interview with CNN on July 5 that her party is against continuing to provide Ukraine with long-range missiles and the possibility of sending French troops to Ukraine.

I saw this story, and had to share:

Last saturday, in Porto, there was a pride parade going down the street, and this old man was standing there, by his front door, waving the portuguese flag. Most people on the parade probably thought the same: old person waving the national flag. He's probably protesting against the parade, he's a nationalist of some sort.

Then the old man called for that person to come near him. The whole parade stopped. Everyone just.. stopped moving. They didn't know what to expect, and most expected the worst, and that person decided to give him the benefit of the doubt, and approached the old man, and then... they traded flags. He hugged the person, and then he waved the pride flag happily. everyone cheered him.
