I try to be a chilled kinda person here, I’ll likely be wittering about games, retro gaming, tech stuff, cats and chickens and occasionally attempting to grapple with the vexing and often infuriating nature of humans. Hi! 👋 😁

Anyone having issues migrating their profiles from mastodon.social ?
I’m trying to move to ease the server strain, but keep getting “is not an alias of this account” error, despite the alias already being setup on the destination server 🤔

I'm seeing a lot more results when searching / following a hashtag on mastodon.social than when searching the same tags on mas.to, mastodon.online, or retrochat.online . I don't think it's down to blocked instances, looking at the servers the "extra" results are coming from (includes servers like mastodon.social, mastodon.art).

Is this a per-server thing? Or is this a hiccup down to various servers being under higher load right now with TwitterMigration?

Braverman: "There are some people who would prefer to be rid of me... let them try."

That’s a hell of flex considering that in extremely recent history two people in a position notably more senior to hers were ousted somewhat swiftly but those who preferred to be rid of them 🤔

One the one hand I should hop to another server to lessen the load on mastodon.social but on the other I *really* like being on a server that will usually always have the latest code-base.

The follow-a-hashtag feature has quickly become a must-have for me!

Big thanks of course to @Gargron for his continued and tireless efforts to keep this place, and the wider Mastodon project, up and lively.

Musk and Twitter: The Public, Chaotic Decisionmaking Approach

Elon Musk appears to be taking a “let’s see what we can get away with” approach to running the large social network he just bought. Whiplash impending.

My GBA SP has stopped charging..!! This is a worry.
Time to check a different battery. Charger works fine with another SP so hopefully it’s just the battery.. if it’s the consoles then I shall have a great sadness as this is my back-lit AGS-101!

"The DVLA says it writes to people 56 days before their licence ends to remind them to renew, but many drivers miss the letters as they do not update the agency when their address changes."

I missed it because the DVLA *refuses* to send me any reminders. At all. License, vehicle tax, nothing.

Then they try to blame me for it. Urgh.
