hey you, with the eyes 👀

stop being stubborn and increase your computer's default font size. magnify that web page you're reading a bit

maybe try a different display font, most things default to sans fonts these days but I personally find serifs much easier to read, especially at, ahem, bigger font sizes

also, if light mode hurts your eyes, there's a significant chance the problem is that you bought a new monitor that gets 10x brighter than your old monitor and you turned it up to 100% brightness out of habit

@serigala_tropis There is nothing wrong in boosting posts, it shows your support and provides exposure to other accounts. Anyways the decision changing bio is great. Whosoever don't wanna see them they can easily mute the boosts.

@qgustavor @ianthetechie @geerlingguy Another great productive hack is to use Newpipe or Odysee. But unfortunately you can't support the creators with your subscription or likes on Newpipe.

If you believe in the #Fediverse :

- post here
- bring your friends and family here
- tell companies, governments and creators to be here
- pay for your instance
- pay for your software

Do one thing every day. The Fediverse is worth fighting for.

CONFIG.SYS: LOADHIGH May 19

Today someone (who is not on Mastodon) released a collection of more than 570 distinct operating systems, pre-installed with VM configurations for the 250+ different platforms, going back all the way to 1948.

https://virtualosmuseum.org/

Now, I have to admit I'm posting this without trying it myself, as I'm running low on disk space on this machine.

Because the full download is 121GB (174GB unzipped!). There is also a lighter version at 14GB that will download stuff on demand.

The Virtual OS Museum

Over 1,700 pre-installed operating systems spanning 1948 to today, in a single Linux VM. Bundled QEMU, VirtualBox, and UTM. One-click launchers for Windows and Linux.

Web history disappears when it can’t be preserved.

Today, many publishers are blocking the Wayback Machine from archiving parts of the public web, putting decades of digital history at risk.

Tell publishers: don’t block the Wayback Machine. Sign the petition ➡️ https://www.savethearchive.com/newsleaders/

#WaybackMachine

Tell New York Times, The Atlantic, and USA Today to keep the crucial work of journalists in the Wayback Machine!

@sergedroz @CuratedHackerNews Totally agree with you on this. Everyone forgets the fact that their passion can also get them the pay, required for living it is just that it takes time as compared to so called "secured jobs", where they just meet their daily needs and try to be happy.

You Don't Need a Tech Stack. You Just Need a Text Editor.

Plain text files built the internet before technology stacks were a thing. Honestly, there is no reason why your web presence cannot just be a simple TXT file.
