Mastodon isn't perfect.

But the fact a social network exists that is completely free to use,

has no venture capital investors,

has no shareholders to answer to,

has no growth targets,

with a web interface with zero cookies,

and mobile apps with zero trackers at all

with ten thousand server administrators who donate their time for user safety

is - in my opinion - mindbogglingly cool, given the state of the world we live in.

Not everything has to be shit. People make things better.

@SRLevine On the plus side you are now officially trained to harass

I started getting a lot of difficult-to-diagnose sudden slowdowns on my FW13 with Arch + Plasma. I have a suckless playground installed so switched to DWM and X11, and have been tinkering with that all weekend, and it's been absolutely solid, so I guess I'm one of those people now.

Over the past few years, many people have unfortunately become more dependent on streaming media. But it's important to remember how streaming services can deprive you of important rights. Dis-services like Disney+ and Netflix mandate the use of a hardware-level backdoor called Widevine, giving them permanent access into deep components of your machine. Try video sites like the Blender Open Movies project instead.

@nyquildotorg This is fairly common with artists. It must be cool to listen to the alternates.

Only a modest amount of snow here in Monroeville. The boys were disappointed, I think they wanted a snow day. 🏔️

@aburtch Truly they lived long enough to become the villain.

Jamie Chadwick heads to sports prototypes. ELMS is a great, great series and LMP2 is fantastic. I'm sure she'll have a great time. Le Mans is also on the program.

Pittsburgh being so hilly, it takes very little to really 🔧 transport.

But also this: It *can* be fixed with just a screwdriver. R2R is great.
