His long crossing videos are absolutely epic if you like this sort of thing. LA to Hawaii on a 23' thing is just amazing.
Sam Holmes visits my old hometown on his 28' Cape Dory. He's singlehanded from NC to the Azores, to Ireland, West Coast of Scotland and via canal to the North Sea and the baltic states where he laid up for Winter. Now's he's going to Holland and I guess turning South in Spring...

@dividedsky I rebuilt my old GNUsocial instance as Masto back in 2018. I had to completely start over.
It takes a lot of time, there's no search (feature, not a bug) but it should be easier now because there are so much greater numbers of people. In the Web client (or Tusky if you use that) always use the federated timeline, this is the wider world and you'll find a lot of people.
@alexmidd @snowdrops@mastodon.scot But wait til Friday evening
NO *YOU'RE* BLOCKED
@alexmidd @snowdrops@mastodon.scot I'm not quite as drunk, tbh
@Mitsu You're Miss Canada?
@Mitsu It ain't the Islands, that's for sure
Well, #westworld got cancelled. The last season was the strongest in a while, but the show foundered in LOST territory around mid-season 1, and since LOST you can't do that anymore.
Thoughts on Birdsite, Culture
How long before we see the first automated blocking tool that farms blocklists? How Long before feature requests turn up on Masto's GitHub to integrate things into the ActivityPub implementation?
Don't forget the amount of money floating around. People have deep pockets and they'll pay to get what they want.

So we've already seen an instance-wide search engine. There will be more of this shit.
It is important to recognize where the demand for these things come from. A whole bunch of people came over from Twitter, the big #numbers accounts. They were at the top of the food chain, and they see themselves as the same here. For them, nothing has changed.
They will push for anti-features that ensure they can game the platform and remain at the top of the tree.
Office day phase of the week is here #hybrid #futureofwork
@nyx This will happen. Count on it.
@rysiek They're coordinating on some discord somewhere. It's annoying but ultimately it is internet weather, and you just need an instance that gives you a nice tent to shelter in, surrounded by a moat with sharks with lasers on their heads.
FOSS, motorbikes, and photography.
