two zines β€” How to Solarpunk and Bright Green Futures

I made a zine about why we lift up hopeful climate fiction stories on the Bright Green Futures podcast!

You can download/print/share them (plus I have a handy video on the trick of folding them): brightgreenfutures.substack.com/p/bgf-anthol...

Been playing with Ghost a bit recently, some stuff is really nice, some stuff less nice. Setting up machine translation has been a pain.

cool cool cool so you were doing the absolute barest minimum for over a decade and causing every marginalized person on that site to roll for psychic damage every time we logged in, but now even THAT has been taken away

like okay, Elon, you win, I already gave up, I’m not going back

Thread by @SalvMattera on Thread Reader App @SalvMattera: It is my belief that, eventually, many people - maybe most people, maybe all people - will develop severe long COVID. I don't know how long it will take, but it is only a matter...

Anyone know why we're not getting #Novavax to prevent Covid infection? Is it just cost? threadreaderapp.com/thread/17319...

I guess I imagine a world where Atproto auth is developed into solid.github.io/did-method-s... then Bsky run an ActivityPod instance to provide that auth service. The ActivityPub provision is an entirely incidental side benefit.

If Bsky was to run an instance of that, and use it for your DID auth then as a user I would get a portable identity that I could use with Atproto, ActivityPub & Solid. It could also provide OIDC for legacy webapps

Armistice day day, so the home secretary invited a bunch of seig-heiling, swastika tatted dickheads to the cenotaph, where they proceeded to fight the police.

God it's embarrassing to be British sometimes.

They shall not grow stuffed crusts
As we that are left grow stuffed crusts
Age shall not add pineapple to them
Nor other novelty toppings
At the cooking of the poppy pepperoni pizza
And in the morning for leftovers
We will remember them

If they do end up sticking ads on, then someone else can start one without github.com/bluesky-soci... access to the source code helps keep them honest.

The 60-Year-Old Scientific Screwup That Helped Covid Kill All pandemic long, scientists brawled over how the virus spreads. Droplets! No, aerosols! At the heart of the fight was a teensy error with huge consequences.

This may be the most important piece of journalism in the entire pandemic. Brilliant detective work by scientists; compellingly told.

I used to see network maps of Bluesky users with named clusters around communities like trans shitposters, Japan, etc, do those still exist and get updated?

If you can look at this chart of life expectancy falling on every continent on Earth and still convince yourself covid was overblown, that's your brain on coping mechanism mode

Silicon Valley says it loves innovation and new ideas.

The main idea for social networks that has never been tried is making AGGRESSIVE MODERATION the main product and trading GROWTH SPEED for COMMUNITY HEALTH.

But that will never get funded by the libertarian men of venture capital.

I'd say it's probably not ideal for the CEO of Twitter to tweet a fake Voltaire quote that's actually a quote by US neo-Nazi, white supremacist and convicted paedophile Kevin Alfred Strom.

Maybe. I don't think the relatively small number of people here are that relevant in the scheme of things. I think Mastodon has some sub-optimal UX.

I think Mastodon would gain more adoption if the default interface was more 'birdy' eg https://elk.spore.social/home

People arrive here and understand the familiar UX
