This is likely my last post on Mastodon, due to its overly complicated transfer procedure. Bye! 😧

Old geezer enjoying 2nd childhood. ☺
@anotherwest I appreciate your offer, thank you kind person. I am 76 years old and have other things to amuse myself with these days! ☺
@anotherwest Already did that and exported followers/following, Import fails.
@anotherwest Over the past month I have made a few attempts at transferring my server off the one going dark. Mastodon has screwed up IMO by not making this a simple button click. I'm sure I won't be the only user who disappears from Mastodon after tomorrow! 😔
This would be an even bigger mistake than when that idiot Ford gave Nixon a pardon in 1974.
He looks so cute all made up in his orange makeup, the boys in the big house are going to love their new pal. 😊
If there was such a thing as "old school baseball," this is what it would look like. ☺
AI is robotic intelligence. The First Law of robotics (Asimov) is; “a robot may not harm humanity, or, by inaction, allow humanity to come to harm.” AI programmers have already violated this numerous times! 🤔
Stefan PrandlFor an example of the major benefits that #decentralised and non-commercial projects have over commercial and centralised ones, look no further than this article:

This extends to #IT and #infosec too. Open source projects don't have a profit motive, they don't sabotage their own usefulness for money, and they have much better prospects for long lifespans. The worst that can happen is that the community implodes for some reason, at which point they split up and continue on separate paths (or forks as the case may be).
Long story short, use fediverse technologies for social stuff, use open source for technical stuff, don't feed the juggernauts your money or clicks, cause they don't care anyway.
@gaycats Awww... nothing like a good cup of kitty in the morning! 🤣
