The image features a red and orange robot toy with a raised sword in its right hand, standing against a plain white background. The robot has a helmet with a visor, a torso with a central chest piece, and articulated limbs. The text on the right side of the image reads: "haha, funny toy come in can," "wow, this lore sure goes places," and "now I'm trans." The text is aligned to the right of the robot, with each line separated by vertical lines. The robot's pose is dynamic, with its left arm extended forward holding a blaster-like weapon. The overall composition is simple, with the robot as the central focus.

I'm pleased to finally say that TrueFans has been approved and we are now live in the Google Play Store.

This is v1.0, we will be further tweaking the UI this week but it is fully functional with podcasts, music, video, wallets, micropayments, funding tag, activitystreams etc. Any feedback good or bad is gratefully received.

We will also have new versions shortly for Apple TV, CarPlay, Android Auto and FireTV. i.e TrueFans Everywhere.

This is huge: a Spanish court has ruled that industrial animal farming pollution breached fundamental rights.

A first-of-its-kind win for people, health and the planet, and a clear message: factory farming has no future.

@earthworm They probably do monitor the clicks of their bit.ly URLs to measure campaign success over several platforms. This means: They do this intentionally.
Twitter has had this functionality incorporated for many years.

@frumble

aah, that makes some sense. Thanks!

But I still think that the link shortener will deter a portion of average Mastodon-user from clicking.
