Time for this month's #Mastodon team Trunk and Tidbits update - take a look at what we worked on during November. Thanks to the @npub1u84d...s78a team, and to all of the contributors!
The Internet connects people. People are an intrinsic part of the internet. The social web exists because people are social.

I love the diverse range of apps that are available for different cultures and preferences! Thank you to the developer community in Japan! ->
Observation - the birdsite, under its original name, appears to remain sticky here in Japan despite the relative popularity of federated alternatives, and reported growth of Bluesky.

You can do it, too!

Nice local memorial for the owner of the hardware shop across the street that the bench faces. #openbenches
Right, that’s the [@raspberry_pi]( ) CM5 launched then, probably a Pi500 before Christmas? I bet @npub1jjf3...jh0u will be excited about all this new stuff.
