@jimjamfroo Hi. Sorry, what do you mean by follow other instances? You should be able to follow users on any instance (even some that don't run Mastodon!) -- is that what you were referring to? π

@Transflux this is really interesting.
Two big things I'm wondering:
* What do those numbers mean in practical terms? Are the differences very significant in reality?
* How much energy is used in compiling compiled languages like C, or those with runtimes like Java or C# -- especially with a team of developers all compiling every so often? I didn't see information on that, though it seems likely the languages could mostly balance out when that consideration is factored in.

"Last time CO2 levels were this high, there were trees at the South Pole"
We should all be very worried about Earth's climate, and must urge swift, dramatic action by our governments.

"IMF warns that #tech giants stifle #innovation and threaten stability"
"Fund report calls for profits to be targeted by a tougher international tax regime"
I'll say it again. Such massive firms must be broken up. They have too much power and are damaging society.

The most frustrating thing about Uber etc is that people think they're cheap because they're somehow innovative.
They're not. Uber and similars are just using an age old scam where investors' money is used to dump cheap goods on the market to kill competition. There's nothing new going on here. The apps are just window dressing for a scheme that should be illegal.

Looks like Boeing 737 MAXs have been pushed back even further - other teams in Boeing reviewed the software fix and donβt think itβs ready. What a mess. https://arstechnica.com/?p=1484905

To all blind Android users: The #Tusky Mastodon client has been updated to version 6.0 and brings a big step forward in usability with TalkBack. Toots in most timelines are now single entities, and they have actions for replying, boosting, accessing profiles, links and other tapable items within a toot. This means that going from toot to toot only takes one swipe now instead of 5 to sometimes more than 10 in previous versions. Happy tooting!
