mastodon 4.8.0-nightly.2026-10-06
GitLab claim in their docs that you can verify your GitLab profile page on Mastodon by adding the Mastodon link to your GitLab profile but that's just false (https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/work_items/599766).
That being said, I just verified my GitLab and codeberg profiles links by temporarily setting my website on both to my mastodon profile and switching back. A bit messy and I do wonder if the green tick will eventually go away next time the mastodon server checks.

What with all the madness surrounding Google search announced yesterday, I've moved all my browsers, including mobile, to use @StartpageSearch@mastodon.social as default search. Where screen real estate allows, I've also allowed ads in order to help it stay non-shittified.
I've been using Startpage on my personal devices for some time and now is the time to swap work devices. #google #ai #search #enshittification
