This comes from Meta’s 9-year experiment on the impact of Facebook ads on user welfare.
Since 2013, Facebook has randomly assigned 0.5% of its users to a “no-ads group.” These users have not seen any ads for nine years, without being aware of it. In 2022, researchers recruited over 50,000 users across 13 countries to compare the experiences of users with and without ads.🧵1/5

We had an great time this evening at our first "Tacoma Pottery Salon" event hosted at Tacoma Pottery.
The guest speaker tonight was the renowned Marge Levy, one of her pieces attached.
Was awesome to hear her story and inspiration for all these years and how it morphed and flowed with time, which was very inspiring itself.

Little jumping spider I saw walking around after work walking to my car, I was so excited to try and grab a picture I forgot to adjust the aperture.
Then I spent the next couple of minutes trying to carefully get it off my camera as it decided to jump on my lens and run amok in my flash diffuser leaving webs everywhere.

For those following along with my saga about #yunohost and #mastodon, I found the solution to my images not loading. Here it is:
I found the solution!
It seems an older bug has creeped into the system. So, here is how I fixed the issue.
First of all, mastodon was not in the www-data group. Not sure why, but this matters for some reason. I fixed that by using the following:
sudo su -
usermod -aG mastodon www-data
nginx -s reload
Then to finish the permission error, I ran the following inside /var/www/mastodon:
chmod -R 750 /var/www/mastodon
Now the images display as expected. Not sure if this is a wide-spread problem, but good to know for the future if anyone else has this issue.

“They Want to Silence Me”: Columbia Student Mohsen Mahdawi on ICE Jail, Palestine, Activism, Buddhism
May 16, 2025"In this prison, [...], ICE rents a section of the prison. And the section where I was, it was a mixture of three-quarters of people who have committed crimes before, and one-quarter of migrants who come in and out. And I was — my cell was C-38, the first cell in that C section where the migrants are. So, I saw waves of the migrants. Those are not just migrants. Those are the people who feed us, who plant our food, who harvest our organic, delicious Vermont produce."
