Sorry for the bad quality.

My grandfather had this in his office. He worked as a computer engineer so I initally thought it was a zoomed-in picture of a computer chip or something, but maybe it is something large.

He's not alive anymore so I can't ask him. If somebody can help me out, that would be great.

 

Would anyone like a free subscription (for one month) to the Expanding Dan, the fantastic Steely Dan newsletter? It seems I've got two left to give away.

Subscribers can access the archive, so for instance you can read the complete interview with the technician who erased the Second Arrangement tape: https://expandingdan.substack.com/p/steely-dan-second-arrangement-erased-interview

The shocking news this week was that a couple of admins of large Mastodon instances were talking with Meta (under NDA's!), so it seems your hope (and mine) will be in vain.

Thruth.social was actually never part of the Fediverse. It does use AcitivtyPub, but it doesn't federate with other instances: https://pocketnow.com/trump-truth-social-network-removes-most-freedom-friendly-features-fediverse/

Good news for scammers

On Mastodon there was this whole thing about users calling themselves Twitter refugees, and people expressing their displeasure with the term. It does feel a bit inappropriate to equite youself with actual refugees. We're just moving from website to another.
