Welcome to Mastodon
A big welcome to folks that are just joining Mastodon.
I have been on Mastodon about 2 years I think and I really love it. Although I have a twitter account I may have only logged in 5 times in the past year or so, and that's just to check my messages, which I could have set to automatically send to my email.

Announcing the Lasso Read-it-Later Service
I'm announcing the release of my new service for Gemini, Lasso! It's a bookmarking service oriented akin to Wallabag or Pocket; that's oriented towards bookmarking articles, gemlog posts, and other primarily written material (perfect for Gemini!). It also archives bookmarked articles to help mitigate link rot—I know for me personally, there's many a time I'm trying to re-read some interesting gemlog post from a few months back and I find that it was deleted forever.

Font size on the Web
People wanna completely erode the entire meaning of setting a font-size in the browser by moving into some wack-ass race-to-the-bottom of shifting the “de facto” default up by 25%. What’s the, uh, what’s the long-term consequence of that, you think? It’s gonna be a slippery slope, a tug of war of increase/decrease/increase/decrease—your CSS is just the wrong place to set this.
* Gemini links can be opened using Gemini software. It’s like the World Wide Web but a lot lighter.
