"Square — The payments company said Wednesday evening that it will change its name to Block. The name change will go into effect on Dec. 10, and comes as the company expands into new technologies, including blockchain."

Cool I just deleted that app thanks for the reminder.

At exactly 4:20am I was startled awake by several quick taps on my bedroom window. Storm (my cat) also seemed to be alerted so I don't think it was auditory hallucination. But after I got my glasses and looked outside, there was nothing. And it's dead quiet so I'd expect to hear something if there was anything, even footsteps. Nothing on the cameras, but they don't cover the bedroom window.

WTH man

But if you’re in here then…who’s that

All this time, I’d been wearing the blue side of the mask on my face and the white side facing the world, but apparently I should’ve been doing the opposite. The blue coating is waterproofing, and ostensibly you’d want this if defending against droplets from others. But SARS-CoV2 is spread via aerosols anyway so…I guess remember this for the next pandemic, one that is actually spread via contact and droplets.

What happens to old boosts and faves of roots from an instance that goes offline? Are those just deleted?

Remember when all those artists joined Mastodon, and posted for like three days, and then left again never to return? I assume they all went back to being abused on/by Twitter.
