God bless PG&E killing our power even before we’ve seen even a fucking hint of inclement weather.

I will be doing this move at the end of today, PST. So I'd give it 8h or so.

Another option, should you be over there, is my Bluesky, which is just my domain name (@xodium.net)

As part of this I wiped my .social account and am going to be moving everything over there:

@xodium

PSA: I'm probably going to be moving instances soon, unless something changes in the meantime. Tentatively, I'm going to mastodon.social, so if you have them blocked for whatever reason, well, I bid you farewell, no hard feelings.

I just don't see another instance I can jive with and I'd rather not crap up a small instance with my antics + I don't want to join a themed instance when I'm going to be talking about more than, well, that theme.

PG&E delenda est

Once more:

In discourse over what’s going to happen in the next few years in the US, please don’t forget disabled folk dependent on Medicare, especially with the news today.

We can’t even really leave the country if shit gets bad, either. We kinda are just stuck here and left to slowly rot and/or die if things go as bad as they look.

So please.

Keep us in your thoughts.

the reason mastodon isn't "winning" over bluesky is that mastodon is like a linux help desk whereas bluesky is like a furry porn bar and people will use the furry porn bar over the linux help desk

One of the things that warms my heart re: the twitter exodus is it’s finally clicking that the only way to deal with fascists is to block them and never, ever engage.

They need to be ostracized from society and not allowed back in.

Oh, voted for Trump? I don’t care why. I’m throwing you across that bridge and burning it.

Gods forbid you want back in you are going to have to do all the goddamn soul searching in the world and truly commit yourself to making whole the people you fucked over.

I decided to just kick my main website back over to blogger and just keep it to, well, certain subjects.

As such, here's a post I wrote inspired by recent interactions on here: https://www.xodium.net/2024/11/on-windows-7-and-vintage-computing.html

On Windows 7 and Vintage Computing

I know some would stop me at the title and tell me: "Hey, no, Windows 7 is not and never will be retro or vintage! It's too modern!" Especia...

This sentiment brought on by a long-running beef I have with the /r/VintageApple subreddit and how even though the first Intel Macs are going to be 20 years old in a little over a year and they absolutely refuse to let anything Intel have a seat at the table. Ever.

Retro/vintage is a celebration of what we grew up with. Don’t gatekeep it, damn it.
