This is your seasonal reminder that all acorns are edible. Some need processing, others do not.

In October, I will do a thread on Southern Live Oak, Quercus virginiana. These don’t need processing but do need to be steamed in their shells to remove the nut. Last year, house moths ate most of mine so they need to be well-sealed and frozen after shelling.

Can someone explain to me why the official Android Mastodon app doesn't enable following hashtags? Or have the translate option?

Several years in the making, GitLab is now very actively implementing #ActivityPub! 🙌

https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/11247

The end-goal is to support AP for merge requests (aka pull requests), meaning git.alice.dev can send an MR to gitlab.com/Bob/project.git

First bite-sized todo on the implementation path there is ‘subscribe to project releases’.

Smart move by GitLab; through ActivityPub they’re getting a distributed version of GitHub’s social layer.

@blackops @hosford42 @markusl @cwebber @ginsterbusch @dpnash @sentient_water @Tooden @actuallyautistic Hah this is making me think about my software team at my last role. We didn’t have open plan but rooms that could seat up to 14 people. Often 10 people in the room on a busy day. Everyone used headphones. Headphones on basically meant ‘I’m busy’, headphones off ‘you can talk to me’

This absolute character. Belongs to a friend I was visiting today. #caturday #catsofmastodon

Not only will #Threads not be launching in the EU (presumably because it'll be sucking up so much personal data that they can't make it GDPR compliant), but now the The European Court of Justice has agreed with Germany’s anti-cartel watchdog that Meta can't share harvested personal data between Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp. That ruling will also apply to Threads.

A great day for consumer protections.
