I really have to blame @distelfliege for having spent more time here than on twitter today. ;-)

@maloki Happy birtday! Have a great day! Hopefully as sunny, as it is here in Berlin.

**Biometric Apps Will Soon Be Pushed Across the Web**

motherboard.vice.com/en_us/art

This is a bad idea:

1. You can't "reset" your biometrics like a password.
2. Biometrics aren't hashable. The end result is they're less secure than other forms of authentication. (If you don't understand what this means, you're not qualified to have an opinion on this matter.)
3. You can't control what happens to your biometrics once they're in the hands of a 3rd party.

Please re-Toot.

Here's a nice thing about : I can go into settings and mark all media as "sensitive".

Hi folks. There just appeared a new desktop App, that makes it a lot easier for us to use the instances of the mastodon network. I am just testing it, and it lookes really fine. pinafore.social/

Oh, das in Münster war ein Deutscher… und die sonst so laute AfD (Abk. für »Angst für Deutschland«) schweigt in Social Media, dass es mir in den Ohren gellt.

Boah, ich krieg Kotzreiz! Während die Polizei darum gebeten hat, keine Fotos aus Münster auf Twitter zu bringen, bringt die 20-Uhr-Tagesschau Bilder, die auf Twitter gepostet wurden. #Journalismus

A friend just joined . I now would like to know, if I can follow him from here. It doesn't make sense to me, to register in too many networks.

OK, my beer is about to be empty. And I’m awfully tired. So I will need to go to bed. Good night everyone.

Hello new people in the #introductions tag! The admin-mod of tootplanet.space is here to remind you that if you aren't feeling happy on the instance you chose - it's too active, too quiet, too whatever - don't quit! Ask around for a new instance to join.

Also, if you like purple and space and want a small, pleasant instance, do check us out. And even if you aren't on my instance, I'm happy to help you find your way around the fediverse. tootplanet.space

Of course I ment to say: Thanks to @Distelfliege. ;-)

For thouse who tryed to help me with accessibility issues in this network: I found a solution, that works fine so far. Thanks to @Tistelfliege. The app Amaroq for IOS is very helpfull. There also are things, that should be improved, but it works fine so far for now. So no I should be ready for other toppics to share with You. Thanks to everyone for help and support.
