I'm "tooting" from Ctrl+Alt+F3 land. "The world is quiet here," as Lemony Snicket used to say. I've tried out newsboat as a CLI RSS reader, I thought that worked well. I also found 'apt install gopher' will install the official gopher client.

I keep tooting "The world is quiet here." whenever I launch a new instance and am the only one there, but no one has gotten the reference so far, as far as I can tell. :P

Heh, I currently host four GoToSocial instances. 😂

And to be fair, probably part of the reason no one reacts is that at that point I'm the only one present on the instance. I boost it, but that's not the same. ;)

@amin @darritt Like Dr. Malcolm in Jurassic Park, "And I'm just sitting here, ah, talking to... myself."

@nantucketlit @amin Was really interesting in your new approach to e-books. Need to spend more time learning about it.

@darritt @amin Are you talking to me, Amin, or both? We'd be happy to talk about our approaches to ebooks. Amin has a lot of good ideas.
