I learn amazing things, and meet awesome people, and introduce them to each other. I don't speak for my employer. Shape Rotator. Quiet Mind. Fan of good pens, fine paper, deep writing, home grown food, skilled work.

Has anyone taken the @signalapp client and server code and built a federating implementation? Or is that just @matrix ?
Tracphone is incompetent to the point of illegality about portout. I'm sure their business decision is to mess it up so many times that people just decide to stay with them. In related news, my mother will be getting a new phone#. #tw
Twitter feature I want: I never want to see a reply written by someone with fewer than 5% of the followers of the person they were replying to, unless I'm actually following them.
I don't want "VR" or even "AR". I want a pair of glasses that weigh less than 1oz that give me the experience of 4k 60in monitor 30in away.
“Open source is about making your problem upstream’s problem. If you do not support said upstream, it will quickly become your problem again. Invest on your own future. Reduce your long term costs. Support your upstream.”//@matrixdotorg

This is probably worth repeating regularly: open source is about making your problem upstream's problem.

If you do not support said upstream, it will quickly become your problem again.

Invest on your own future. Reduce your long term costs. Support your upstream.

It used to be that English profs would reject your paper for plagiarizing. Now they require it to pass.
I occasionally notice that i have a magic supercomputer in my hand, that is less good at self organizing my life than when I carried a Franklin Planner.

If you a running a Mastodon instance and are looking for a good way to take donations/recurring donations, I can help you avoid the Patreon 10% Venture Capital tax via a site running Ghost and Outpost. Not a biz offer, we will run this for free as a way to give back to #fediverse.

And if you already have a patreon, we can help you gracefully switch to something better without upsetting what you have set up now.

When you have missed your flight, instructions: Wait quietly in line for the next desk agent. Have your ID and boarding pass ready. Give them a genuine smile that includes your eyes. Say in a reasonable and well tempered tone: "I'm so sorry. I missed my flight. Can you rebook me?". After they do, tell them "Thank you so much, have a great day." Again, smile. Then walk to your new gate and wait. Read a book or two.
