Whittled down the list of people I’m following. With no algorithm in the fediverse that shows me what it thinks I should be interested in, I better pick myself how I fill my feed.

Weird #fediverse issue. I'm following a person on a very small instance. That person is also following me. Their posts, boosts and likes reach me.
What I don't see is their profile pic. For whatever reason it's not appearing in the profile view or timeline. Going to the instance, the pic is there.
unfollowing and following didn't do anything. Any idea?

Report – Unsafe: Meta Fails to Moderate Extreme Anti-trans Hate Across Facebook, Instagram, and Threads | GLAAD
GLAAD’s Social Media Safety Program reported the following anti-trans hate content across Instagram, Facebook, and Threads; Meta deemed all of it non-violative or did not take action on it.

I wondered what has happened? And it struck me suddenly: I stopped reading Twitter.

Trigger crossbar front panel board is back from fab.
It looks like I mostly pulled off the 0.5mm pitch BGA, but the Vbat via looks to be insufficiently tented so I might get it failing open there. Should have moved the via slightly further away from the ball to reduce the risk of such a failure.
Good news is, I don't think this will matter for two reasons.
1) The actual Vbat ball is not the one next to the via, it's the one to the right. The outer-ring ball is an un…

One of the Fediverse’s most-repeated selling points is the following premise:
YOU OWN YOUR DATA.
It’s a wonderful sentiment, the idea that you can pack up everything and take it with you. The problem is, most platforms on the network can, at best, redirect your followers to a new account.
What if we had an easier way to represent data ownership and give users total control of it?

Also, why aren't Wikis #Fediverse-enabled by default? I'd really like to follow certain articles on #Wikipedia, for example.
If you must, it could be following something like @Fediverse@en.wikipedia.org but interpreting the actual URL to the article like
