I also enjoyed the $70k Android hack and the weird-old-book-finder.
Mastodon
bitbang.social - retrocomputing instance
Mastodon Moment - Tim Bray on Mastodon
Is the fediverse about to get Fryed? (Or, “Why every toot is also a potential denial of service attack”) - Mastodon might have a scaling problem
Mastodon on your own domain without hosting a server - I don't even have a static server at the moment!
Home invasion - Mastodon's Eternal September begins - pretty negative. I can understand where he is coming from. It is OK to mourn the past, but you have to look forward.
Exploring Mastodon: Latest Memo: Multiple Mastodon Accounts - Martin Fowler continues his series. I don't really like these work in progress articles.
A Big List of Mastodon Resources - all the tools and introductions.
With Twitter in chaos, Mastodon is on fire - CNN
Your organization should run its own Mastodon server - yes, especially if you are a media or government organisation.
What is Mastodon, the social network users are leaving Twitter for? Everything you need to know - The Guardian's takeLeadership
Cruel Changes at Twitter - how not to lead
You should maintain a transition file - "It’s a document that you prepare for whoever ends up succeeding you in your role."
The Seven Levels of Busy - I am aiming for somewhere between Level 3 and 4.
Making a leap into the future - using "leap teams", temporary teams focused on one project to break silos. The pros & cons.
Work
1 in 20 workers will quit if transparency laws reveal they are paid less than co-workers - that seems a lot. Only time will tell.
Elon Musk scraps Twitter’s work from home policy - probably not even legal
How To Create Serendipity on Remote Teams - this is so hard! Some good ideas anyway.
Engineering
Accidental $70k Google Pixel Lock Screen Bypass - this is a great and random hack
The Netherlands, Germany and Spain: Which European countries are leading the solar revolution? - Spain should be leading this
Euruko ’22: Ruby over Helsinki - a few Jobandtalent people went to the Ruby conference.
Environment
How to move a country: Fiji’s radical plan to escape rising sea levels - "It is not just pulling out 30 or 40 houses in a village and moving them further upfield. I wish it were that simple."
France to require all large parking lots to be covered by solar panels - I have some hope that this means fewer parking spaces
Urbanism
Death of cyclist in Berlin provokes debate over road protests - this discussion is just insane. Another cyclist was killed in Berlin and nobody talks about the truck that killed her.
El 18 de novembre s’implanten els canvis de mobilitat als quatre nous eixos verds i places de l’Eixample [Catalan] - traffic changes are beginning for the new green corridors / superblocks in Barcelona
Barcelona Superblock - See details on action set out by the plan for 2030 - overview of the changes
Brasilia: Modernist disaster or deceptively brilliant? [YouTube] - the blocks are a nice idea, but the houses are awful. No wonder people created even worse suburbs.
Medics get on their bikes to take the load off ambulances [$$$] - London's Cycle Response Unit
Random Adventures
The Interactive Fiction Competition - Some of my first games were text only. I loved Adventure and later the Infocom games.
weird-old-book-finder - I am mostly entering "cycling" or "bicycle"
CommunityRule is a governance toolkit for great communities. - collection of different community setups
Garmin Instinct Crossover Series In-Depth Review: It’s Got Hands! - I like this, mechanical hands look pretty
Our Car Camping Kit - I just discovered this blog. I love camping and really enjoy equipment lists for all kind of activities.
BookWyrm - kind of Goodreads in the Fediverse.
vollebak - fancy end-of-the-world clothes
Australia’s Weird Little Time Zone - weirdos
