Brand meeting: "Let's make our card purple, so it stands out from all the other cards in someone's wallet!"

My wallet:

It was a left! I'll be wearing odd gloves from now on, which, whilst not ideal, is definitely an improvement on having one cold hand.

Lost one glove for the second time this winter. Can't wait to get home to find out whether the other was a left or another right.

With the recent spike in fediverse activity, I wonder if now would be a good time for someone to set up a https://joinmobilizon.org/en/ or https://gancio.org/ instance to replace the sadly missed http://livebrum.co.uk/ local event listings site.

This used to be built in to the Mastodon UI, but got removed because users found it too confusing (https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/8127). Let's hope they figure out a way to re-add it, because the current process for following someone on another instance is uncomfortably clunky.

Want to be able to click on those web+mastodon:// links you sometimes see? Browse to your Mastodon web interface, hit F12, then enter the following into the JavaScript console:

navigator.registerProtocolHandler("web+mastodon", new URL("/intent?uri=%s", document.location.origin), "Mastodon");

Click allow on the banner that pops up.
