#myfirstmac was a Mac 128 which my uncle had soldered up to 512k.
It's bittersweet to me that while I've been using a Mac ever since, they've been exclusively provided by work for the past many years.
The last truly "personal computing" Mac I bought was a white iBook, circa 2007.
When a lightweight Chromebook is < $400 and serves as both my home computer and a tablet, it's hard to justify the $1,500 or so for a Mac/iPad combo. Quadrupely so when you look at outfitting a family of 4.
Doing a test here to see how much reach this #mastodon account with 550 followers has compared to the same test on #Threads with a 430 Follower count.
I suspect I already know the answer.

TIL that this exists.
Ooh — Mastodeck!
If you used to dig Tweetdeck back in the day, this looks like a pretty promising modern-day equivalent for #mastodon.
Really cool to see!
“The Bureau of Land Management gets the $7 entry fee from the 64 daily hikers who are lucky enough to visit Coyote Buttes. The $14,400 in lottery fees that the day's hopeful hikers pay to Recreation.gov for a shot at a permit all go to a giant military contractor: Booz Allen.
“I know. What. The. Actual. Fuck.”

#DidYouKnow 🤔
The average Native woman only makes 51 cents for every $1 earned by a white male.
Due to gender and racial pay discrimination, occupational segregation, & unequal professional leadership opportunities, Native women have to work TWICE as long to catch up to white men’s avg earnings.
We invite this community to pause and acknowledge the injustices of #colonialism that still impact #Native #Indigenous people, and help spread awareness for #NativeWomensEqualPay Day tomorrow.
