This is Alan. Alan ended his own life on 7th June 1954. He laced an apple with cyanide and ate a bite from it. He did this because the British government chemically castrated, humiliated and prosecuted him for being gay.
Alan is the reason why a chunk is bitten out of the Apple logo…in honour of Alan Turing.
Ok so what did he do? He invented computer science and using his first designs he decrypted the Enigma code - the machine base encryption that the Nazis and the German military used to communicate secret commands to each other in world war 2 - and hence he both saved millions of lives and brought us into the modern age of computing.
Pride month isn’t just about dancing on floats in gold hot pants or flying a rainbow flag. It’s about remembering that everyone has a right to be happy, love who they want to love, and recognise the outstanding contribution that everyone can make in a society free of fear or prejudice.
Remembering Alan……

Some period tracking apps will share your data. Stay safe, use one from @fdroidorg without Internet permission.
Possible options are:
drip (safest!)
Periodical
log28
All of these apps don't ask for internet permission and thus can't share your data. Drip goes the extra mile and explicitly opts out of Android's backup framework so your data won't be backed up on Google servers.
Please boost for those who need it!
Hier stand bis vor einigen Monaten eine Trockentoilette. Offen für alle Besucher_innen des #LandschaftsparkHerzberge. Nachdem mehrfach die Türen eingetreten und das Häuschen einmal komplett abgefackelt wurde hat das Bezirksamt #Lichtenberg dieses nun entfernen lassen, da die Kosten für Reparaturen zu hoch waren.
Vielen Dank ihr Arschlöcher für die wiederholte mutwillige Zerstörung von nützlicher Infrastruktur für alle. Fackelt besser SUVs ab.
Jetzt bleibt den Leuten nur der Gang ins Unterholz.

Zum Glück ist schönes Wetter, da sind solche "#Radverkehrsanlagen" mit Humor zu ertragen
Die gesamte Kreuzungssituation (Alt-Mariendorf) ist in keiner Richtung nicht ohne Verletzung der #StVO zu durchradeln.
Überlege gerade, ob ich wegen des Schildes eine Anzeige wegen versuchter Körperverletzung schreibe.
#Tusky 19 beta 1 is out!
Among other features and a lot of fixes, it adds the highly requested support for push notifications via Unified Push.
If you don't know what Unified Push ist, here is a small explanation 👇
Something a bit different today...
There's a really nice Fediverse admin on here called @stux who provides lots of free decentralised public services (public instances of Mastodon, PeerTube, Pixelfed, Matrix, Nitter, Invidious, Searx etc).
Stux is spending hundreds of euros a month so that these services remain free and operational.
Apparently Stux has had a tough time finding work recently, but has their own small business which provides web hosting.
If you're looking for a small indie hosting provider, this might be a really good choice as the money raised will help keep the Fedi going too:
(I'm sorry to embarass you Stux, but I think you deserve a shout-out for the good work you do!)
Unsere FreundInnen in #Bayern haben einen landesweiten #Radentscheid gestartet:
https://radentscheid-bayern.de/
Das Anliegen sieht sehr interassant aus. Deswegen könnt ihr gerne boosten. 🚀
Viele moegen dieses Chaos nervig finden, ich halte es fuer einen gelungenen Beweis dafuer, dass eine #Verkehrswende moeglich ist wenn der Preis stimmt.
Wenn wir jetzt noch das Angebot umfangreich ausbauen... man mag sich gar nicht ausmalen, wie regionale und ueberregionale Mobilitaet in Deutschland aussehen koennte.
Das #9EuroTicket zeigt auf jeden Fall, wie hier vor meiner Abfahrt von Kiel nach Hamburg, dass Menschen reisen wollen.
Ich finds grossartig
You can see public posts visible to a particular Mastodon server using a particular hashtag by using this website address:
(server name) /tags/ (hashtag but without the #)
So, for example, if you want to see posts visible from mastodon.social with the hashtag "crochet", you would look here:
https://mastodon.social/tags/crochet
To expand a post within this view, click on its datestamp.
If you're on a new server, you can use this trick to find people to follow from other servers. It works especially well if you try to see the view from a bigger or more connected server.
(Once a new server starts making its own connections, tricks like this aren't needed as much.)
Fediblock recommend! Important!
I know I posted this before but I'm gonna do it again to make sure it reaches as wide as possible..
The following domain: "d-fens.systems" went live a little while back and when checking out the instance it has 2 accounts. The admin(that follows known racists in the Fedi) and a 'FollowBot' that automatically follows as much accounts as possible.
Why would this be an issue you say?
Well! A while ago some bad actors made via the exact same way a follow bot that added people into "groups" that they thinked we belonged in like: "gay, lefist, activist, trans" etc etc!
These lists can only be used for targeting people online and we DO NOT WANT THIS in any way!
I again, I urge #Fediverse admins to domain block "d-fens.systems" ASAP.
Das kannte ich noch nicht.
Da wurde meinen Stereotypen aber auf die Sprünge geholfen
