im amazed that TODAY is the first day in my life that ive actually pinged a hostname and seen it resolve to an IPv6 address. just now. it just happened for the first time
i mean, it's taken uhhh how many years has it been since everyone was saying 'the internet is running out'. IPv6 itself is fuckin retro at this point. its older than a lot of the people reading this toot
Every time I see the question "What is on your mind?" I still get the urge to answer "The underside of the top of my skull".
Abstract literalism. Love it. Try to resist it. It doesn't matter. It's always there. A constant in my life.
Native Linux desktop applications are in decline, with many seemingly opting for 'cross platform' web apps or frameworks.
Electron is - in some cases - a necessary evil, for the most part i have ceased using them (except etcher..)
I would much prefer to see a native CLI, NCurses or QT5 mastodon client than use the website.
Talking of CLI clients I tried Tootstream but found formatting toots a bit of a bind.
There's a clip of this going 'round lately - cute girl on a pier posing for pics, she twists a bit while sitting and her phone slides out of her pocket and through the gap in the pier's boards, probably right into the ocean.
(This sort of thing is why I built a belt holster for the phone and don't trust it to my pockets. I'm an IT Guy, it's ok if I look like a geek.)
