Hey #FediHiveMind I've got a question for you...
Recently, #StephenFry has pivoted to voicing support for #trans folks - which is of course uniquivocably a #GoodThing. However, just a few years ago, he was still making TV shows with the #TERF Queen #JKR and actively platforming anti-trans rhetoric. At the same time, on #Mastodon, he was verbally abusing and blocking people who called him out for that.
At the time, while I was on another instance, I also had such an altercation with him and was blocked by him. I'm trying to find forensic or any other remaining evidence of his tantrum in the Fediverse, to use as evidence to show that, despite his recent pivot, he still does have apologies and reparations to make for his transmisic past... -

Apple zaprasza Brytyjczyków do projektowania cyfrowych choinek na iPadzie
Apple ogłosiło świąteczną kampanię „Your Tree on Battersea”, w ramach której mieszkańcy Wielkiej Brytanii mogą zaprojektować własne cyfrowe choinki na iPadzie. Najlepsze 24 projekty zostaną wyświetlone w grudniu na kominach Battersea Power Station w Londynie.
Inicjatywę poprowadzi komik Munya Chawawa, a wśród gości specjalnych znajdą się m.in. Stephen Fry i David Shrigley OBE, którzy również zaprezentują swoje cyfrowe prace. Zgłoszenia można przesyłać do 23 listopada 2025 roku, a zwycięskie projekty zostaną ujawnione 4 grudnia o godz. 17:00.
Apple wspiera uczestników, organizując bezpłatne 30-minutowe warsztaty Today at Apple we wszystkich 39 sklepach w Wielkiej Brytanii (od 6 do 22 listopada). Materiały i szablony do projektów dostępne są też online, by można było tworzyć choinki w domu z pomocą Apple Pencil.
To kontynuacja tradycji świątecznych instalacji Apple – w poprzednich latach zaprezentowano m.in. dzieło Davida Hockneya stworzone na iPadzie Pro (2023) oraz animację Wallace & Gromit zrealizowaną na iPhonie 16 Pro Max (2024).
Jego Królewska Wysokość Król Karol III składa wizytę w brytyjskiej siedzibie Apple

Today's #TodayILearned and #etymology eyeopeners involve quite some typesetting related things, inspired by #StephenFry's #GreatLeapYears #podcast episode A Faustian Pact:
font (n.2)
"complete set of characters of a particular face and size of printing type," 1680s (also fount); earlier "a casting" (1570s); from French fonte "a casting," noun use of fem. past participle of fondre "to melt," from Latin fundere (past participle fusus) "to melt, cast, pour out" (from nasalized form of PIE root *gheu- "to pour"). So called because all the letters in a given set were cast at the same time.matrix (n.)
late 14c., matris, matrice, "uterus, womb," from Old French matrice "womb, uterus" and directly from Latin mātrix (genitive mātricis) "pregnant animal," in Late Latin "womb," also "source, origin," from māter (genitive mātris) "mother" (see mother (n.1)).The many figurative and technical senses are from the notion of "that which encloses or gives origin to" something. The general sense of "place or medium where something is developed" is recorded by 1550s; meaning "mould in which something is cast or shaped" is by 1620s; sense of "embedding or enclosing mass" is by 1640s.
And apparently Johannes #Gutenberg's full name was "Johannes Gensfleisch zur Laden zum Gutenberg", where #Gensfleisch basically means "goose flesh" and Gutenberg was the name of their family house in Mainz.
(Before his development of the printing press, he was involved in "making polished metal mirrors (which were believed to capture holy light from religious relics) for sale to pilgrims to Aachen".)
I thought it kinda interesting that Gutenberg's investor for the Bible printing workshop was Johann Fust, or... #Faust.
Given how this investment kinda lead to Gutenberg losing control over the Bible printing workshop, one could argue Gutenberg had kinda sold his soul in a Faustian way. ;)
