@ben@bluetoot.hardill.me.uk now that the work is done, I'm immediately switching provider from BT! How they can justify the pricing is mindblowing to me.

Learned that Ken Boak has died. A nice man who created the Nanode (self-assembly Arduino-like), was super into retro and minimalist computing, and who indirectly re-ignited my interest in LEGO. Here’s a blog post that mentions him and Nanode, from way back in 2012. https://andypiper.co.uk/2012/01/16/makers-creativity-learning-lego-ftw/

Hey @liaizon@social.wake.st remind me where the source for Fedi Iconography is? Looking to add some logos (stegodon, ties, activitypub, fedi logos themselves).

Just shared my experience at Flipboard&#39;s Fediverse House at SXSW in Austin. I was honoured to join @miaq panel discussing community building on the open social web. Check out the video of our discussion. #fediverse https://andypiper.co.uk/2025/05/01/fediverse-house-at-sxsw-2025/?utm_source=mastodon&amp;utm_medium=jetpack_social

@jtonline@mastodon.me.uk if you’ve got a clear 3d scan it would be fairly trivial. Not functional, mind.

Next up @michael@backend.newsmast.org is up talking about the launch of the Qlub app and the Tŵt app, and how US tech giants don't share the same community values of the towns and communities we live in. #TootWales

Here's @jaz@toot.wales learning about the #fediverse today! #TootWales
Post #456677
@jtonline@mastodon.me.uk it's more like a launch for the Tŵt app but otherwise yes very much not in Southampton or on that other thing.
