Jeepers my main has just gone crazy this last week. I will need to look at that at some point. I like a readable experience.

The brain is strange.

A challenge the fediverse must grapple with:

Wanting Twitter Numbers.

Not Wanting Twitter's problems, Culture, Infrastructure and monetisation changes are all now well inside the horizon.

My God, all this chat about Content Warnings. It's 2018 again.

I love watching these old Locomotive start videos. It probably helps it was the BR of my childhood.

If you were concerned about #Fedora losing some of the native graphics processing bits in mesa (#vaapi, #h264, #h265, #va1, etc.), #RPMFusion now has mesa-freeworld in testing to bring it back.

Have we had many scammers yet? I don't think I've seen any obvious accounts.

They had this small-gig energy about them, and Anselmo - love him or loathe him - knew how to work a crowd.

Saw Pantera about a year after this in Newcastle. They were incredible, probably the most energetic set I ever witnessed. Before the gig they were just hanging out in the car park throwing a football about. No pretensions at all.

I've given up trying to get Spotify to stop randomly shuffling and just accept I will listen to what It chooses now.

I will be going outside later to fix my AE-35 Antenna as Spotify has told me it's definitely going to stop working. Wish me luck!

This one is for all the new people on #Mastodon: did you know that the #fediverse has more than just a microblogging replacement? And that they can all interoperate with your Mastodon account?

Check them out!

Facebook replacement: Friendica
Instagram replacement: Pixelfed
YouTube replacement: PeerTube
Spotify replacement: Funkwhale
MeetUp replacement: Mobilizon
Reddit replacement: Lemmy
Podcasting replacement: Castopod
GoodReads replacement: BookWyrm

A symptom of this are changes in moderation that seem to have come from *somewhere* when what has actually happened is a class hierarchy has formed. This is not great for small communities.
