RT @mattmfm@twitter.com: Remember that viral town hall where a guy scorned his Congressman for trying to take away his wife's health insurance?
That Congressman was Tom MacArthur, architect of the Obamacare repeal.
He just lost reelection.

Our #fish, Mr Fish, now has a snail roommate named Jenga. It's a classic Odd Couple situation. Mr Fish leaves shit everywhere while Jenga rolls his eyestalks and retreats into his shell. Mr Fish also smokes cigars.
RT @carolecadwalla@twitter.com: Meanwhile, it's a good week to bury the news that Google just got its hands on the personal data of 1.6 million NHS patients. Without their consent. Having promised this would never happen. On account of it being "unethical"

RT @pfadintegral@twitter.com: In der Digitalisierungsstrategie, die die Bundesregierung morgen verabschieden will, kommt das Wort „Urheberrecht“ einmal, „Open Data“ drei mal, „Netzneutralität“ gar nicht, „Open Access“ nur im Netzleitungskontext und „Blockchain“ 22 mal vor.

Recent events in my Google+ timeline have reminded me once more that the most important rule in communication is the principle of charity: interpreting a speaker's statements in the most rational way possible and, in the case of any argument, considering its best, strongest possible interpretation.

Condemnations come easy. But it's easier to tear things down than to build them up. It's easier to wage war than build peace, to sow mistrust than to make friends. Be good. ❤️

RT @Xabber_XMPP@twitter.com: Hm. So, say, developers of a #bitcoin wallet can now just ship an update that will send all tokens to some address, and user can't stop it? Authorities can force developers to ship update that sends all data to some server? Way to go, #Google https://techcrunch.com/2018/11/07/android-developers-can-now-force-users-to-update-their-apps/

If you ever wondered how to embed your Mastodon feed into your static blog, here is how:
https://octo.sh/Sheogorath/blog/commit/d6212f4d65c41d6bd72390eda0c72318adcec877
All you need is some JS (I use jQuery here but also works without), and your instance name.
Mastodon provides and RSS feed that JS can interpret. But be warned, it may opens an XSS vector. So keep your CSP tight.
A reverse proxy, can help to improve privacy and security of the RSS feed.
If you wonder how the result looks like:
