Interesting: if I "favorite" someones toot, s/he gets a "plop" message and a notification in its stream. If I remove the "favorite" again, nothing happens on the receiver's side.
So one can "favorite" certain toots and sometime later still do a "cleanup" so the favorites column only contains stuff for later perusal.
I'm digging this time lapse photo of birds I ran across. Looks like a tape tornado. Others here: http://timewheel.net/amazing-chronophotographs-capture-patterns-birds-flight/
If you like #mastodon you would have loved the internet in the late 90s.
Here's your one and only chance to take that back. No, not only on twitter.
Don't centralize your life. Don't rely on a single corporation helping them accumulate too much power. Like Facebook or GMail.
Diversify and try to control your own data.

Wer sich nicht nur für das Digitale sondern auch für seine Umgebung interessiert, vielleicht für (s)einen Garten, der findet hier eine gut lesbare und gleichzeitig wissenschaftlich fundierte Beschreibung, was "Boden" eigentlich ausmacht:

Windows-Knowhow für Linux-Poweruser?
Dear Lazyweb, für eine im Herbst anstehende Tagung suchen meine Kollegen und ich einen (guten) Vortragenden zum Thema "Windows für Linux-Poweruser" um die Linux-lastige Fraktion (mich eingeschlossen ;-) mal auf den aktuellen Stand des Windows-Managemenmts zu bringen.
Ernstgemeinte sachdienliche Hinweise gerne an mich. Merci beaucoup.
Hmm. Right-wingers are upset with science now because left-wingers accept scientific evidence.

But yes, not mine from earlier this morning. And lots of 9, 10, 11h stuff.
Good night to you all for now, a nice glass of red wine and a nice ebook are waiting offline for me.
@CobaltVelvet that's fine with me, I just wanted to point this out, in case it was more serious. Thanks for keeping the site running!

*Internet of Shit*
You thought the /Juicero/ was the most ridiculous /Internet of Shit/ thingy? Think again, after you've watched this video about the Wi-Fi enabled wine bottle:

"The pressing ethical questions in machine learning are not about machines becoming self-aware and taking over the world, but about how people can exploit other people, or through carelessness introduce immoral behavior into automated systems."

It's the text version of Maciej Ceglowski's speech "Superintelligence: The Idea That Eats Smart People", shared by @dredmorbius (https://mammouth.cafe/users/dredmorbius/updates/748).
Tip for newcomers (4):
You can search for individual posts with a URL in order to bring them into your stream so that you can boost and favorite them.
Why is this necessary? Let's say that you're looking at someone's profile page and see something interesting. You just click on the time stamp to bring up that unique URL, copy it and past it into search. Works like a charm (for me at least)
@chris nice job with the translator. Maybe it could even return more than one translation in a future version?
Side note: if I try to expand your toot about it (by clicking on the "6 hours ago" timestamp) I'm taken to https://toot.works/users/chris/updates/1038 and receive the message "The page you were looking for doesn't exist."
