Replied to: Half of the EU stock for the Mastodon plushie has been claimed over the last two days. What's perhaps even more exciting is that I think some of the first orders should be arriving at people's homes today (depending on locality), and I'm really looking forward to seeing The Creature in the #Plushtodon hashtag.

Boosted: The Ebou macOS #TestFlight is here! It explores a different kind of Mastodon experience.I'm eager to learn whether it works for you. Many features are missing as I wanted to focus on a core experience. The website has more info: https://terhech.de/ebou. These core ideas are 1. Timeline grouped by contact much like a messenger (Telegram, iMessage) 2. Show conversations as a "comment tree" to see the context and related interesting toots Feel free to DM me for feedback https://testflight.apple.com/join/7CpOOK4w

Replied to: Public Service Announcement for the analog photography community: new X-ray scanners in airports will permanently ruin your films. Period. Old rules such as "It's ok under XXX ASA" are obsolete: I had a 400 film completely ruined and a few 160 badly damaged, after just two scans. The technical name of these new scanners is "CT-scanner" and are often designated by security agents as "3D scanner" or simply "Modern scanner". #BelieveInFilm #FilmIsNotDead #FilmPhotography

Replied to: Hey #believeinfilm friends, Did you see the northern lights yesterday? A solar storm made the aurora borealis visible in Vancouver, where I live, and even in places south of that, like Toronto. I photographed the lights on film with my Canon F-1 and a roll of CineStill 800T. More hi-res photos: https://www.analog.cafe/r/shooting-northern-lights-on-film-dl4d Not bringing a digital camera was one of the best decisions of the night. Film is the best way to capture this event. #filmphotography #photography #northernlights #aurora

Replied to: @Eugen Rochko The U.S. is a very big place. To put it in perspective, Texas, by itself, is bigger than Germany. Not shipping to the U.S. because some of the states got hit by a hurricane is like saying you won't ship to Germany because there was a storm in England or a blizzard in Norway.

Boosted: There's a lot to say about the new #Mastodon version but the most impactful change for me so far is the new boost icon. It now visibly changes when pressed, while previously it would barely change colour/thickness, a difference often too subtle to notice on screens with low constrast/brightness. #FediMeta #MastoMeta #MastoDev
