A lesser known Mastodon pro tip:

Want to mute a conversation, but the mute conversation button isn't appearing on the post?

The only way you can mute a conversation is on a post you have made in the conversation.

But the secret part - Say you want to mute it without actually participating in the conversation:

Reply to a post, set the visibility to "Private Mention", remove everyone's username from the post. Post it.

Then you can click "mute conversation" on THAT post, and it silently mutes you from the conversation.

@JessTheUnstill @8r3n7 I think it's a technical limitation. It's often mentioned in development discussions, but it never gets done.

Here is the ad which infuriated Trump so much, he does not want to continue trade talks with Canada.

I hope this gets a gazillion views.

@randahl The speech is fake, as far I know, but it's always nice to see Trump get angry.

Hace 91 años, 30 mil obreros asturianos tomaron fábricas y minas, en lo que iba a ser una revolución a nivel nacional, pero que solo triunfó inicialmente en Asturias. La represión que siguió fue brutal.

Many Linux users have recently reported their fans running at full speed and high temperatures. They discovered that Firefox was consuming all CPU cores, and it turns out that the cause was Firefox's new default AI features. This is how you ruin your product 😅 https://www.theregister.com/2025/08/13/firefox_ai_scoffing_power/

@nixCraft This is misinformation. The article doesn't explain any fact that the bug is related to AI. In fact, the article is basically junk (possibly written by AI).
The so-called AI features are a sidebar where you can talk to a third party chatbot of your election. The browser doesn't do any AI processing, so CPU could not be affected.

    @EUCommission Artificial intelligence is an inefficient way of waste resources, damages many professionals and facilitate the exploitation and precarization by unscrupulous companies.
    Companies that sell that technology are dedicated to monopolizing information without respect for intellectual property or the effort of those who have produced it, only for profit.
    No, I don't want EU with AI!!!!

    Screenshot of President von der Leyen’ s tweet. EU flags are waving in the background in front of the EU Commission headquarters in Brussels. The text of the tweet reads: "I warmly congratulate Donald J. Trump. The EU and the US are more than just allies. We are bound by a true partnership between our people, uniting 800 million citizens.

    Subscribers tolerated the current ad load, so Amazon is adding more commercials.
