Dad. Nerd. Giant tree hugger progressive. Metalhead. But mostly dad.

@gamingonlinux You mean to say that @gamingonlinux is going to keep using the #Linux device with a better HID and a better UX instead of switching to a Windows machine? Whoda thunk? ;)

How long before someone optimizes #holoiso for it to make the "we have one at home" version of a #steamdeck?

@sarahgilbert This sounds like a much better informed version of the average car ride through town with my kids, particularly w/r/t the underlying conditions and realities of living unhoused.

Is there a website for the tours?

@sarahgilbert can you share anything about what you've been working on? It sounds amazing.
@RumbleArray I genuinely don't understand the "it's too complicated" complaint. You pick a server, pick a username, and you can interact with others regardless of their server. And if you don't like your server, you can move, freely and seamlessly. Anyone who's ever set up an email address (which they'd need to sign up anyway) should have no problem at all grasping this.
@RumbleArray Myspace, Friendster, Livejournal, Google+... All empires recede into the sand in time. I do think that Twitter is on its way to its place in the historical footnote club. Are either Mastodon or Bluesky going to be the next in line? No idea. Maybe I'm just showing my GenX age in thinking that it's not TikTok already.

I like #Mastodon better than #bluesky conceptually. Federated & decentralized is vastly more appealing to me than another billionaire's plaything.

That said, ultimately the utility of a social network is entirely dependent on the user base. Mastodon has been a largely solitary, non-interactive experience for me- I have one IRL friend who posts with any regularity. If BS is what finally has people migrating away from the birdsite and zuckerverse, that's where you'll find me.

@Mastodon ...but do I get a BLUE CHECKMARK?! ;)
@[email protected] I'm apparently OOTL- did mastodon.social do something or get bought or something? Google was no help.
MBTI and DISC are just corporate astrology.
@Vee What's your favorite protest story? For me, having my hair chewed on by a police horse during Iraq war protests in Portland.
