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.
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. #linux

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.
So you're saying you don't like it

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

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.
My Framework 13 suffered a broken display a couple of weeks back. I found it on the floor face down, with a large black band on the screen when powered on 😬 I think the dog knocked it off the table and then stepped on it. He's quite a chonker. I got a replacement screen and manage to not fuck up fitting it, so that's a result.
That is actually the first screen I've ever broken, on anything. Typical it would be my own gear that I have to pay to fix...
For an alpha (specifically Alpha 3) it is very decent. No instability so far, very responsive. Speed is subjective though, I suspect it's not doing many animations which really kill a DE. It's snappy. Hope it stays that way. The green glowing active window border is a bit ug, but I can live with it (and it can be changed.
Giving PopOS Cosmic alpha a spin. Really like it so far. #linux
