Someone wrote a Mastodon how-to guide for businesses.
I give this article an "A" because they give the most important advice: building a Mastodon server.
If your account is for business, you don't want to leave your business in someone else's hands. This is why it's imperative to run your own instance.
Yes, I'm also talking to the lady in the back who's selling her watercolour paintings 👩 🎨
Your livelihood is important -- don't sell yourself short!

@Lunatech @samurro @engineerminded unfortunately,this is true. I've been linux user for 15years,but the more I use it(and love it),the more often i have to say that forcing terminal down users throat is the biggest repelent in broader acceptance of linux as desktop OS. I can use it, but total newbies are simply mortified by even thinking about opening it.
And then there another group who send screenshots with comments "look what my terminal can do/looks like". Talk about self sabotage...
NEW DRESS CODE FOR WOMEN IN THE FLORIDA LEGISLATURE
The #MIAMIHERALD has an #Editorial about new #dresscodes in the #Florida Legislature, many aimed straight at #women
Such as, no skirts an inch above the knee. Or arms must be kept covered. Or, 'no low cut blouses' and 'no shoes without socks'.
I mean, they're also banning books, legalizing firearms without a license, and banning abortions. How long before they demand women wear a hijab?

Patient cancelled this afternoon. High school student (and their entire family) sick with #COVID19. To politicians/leaders who assert “let’s return to normal,” do you see that this is NOT normal?? Students and staff miss more school and they risk #LongCovid with (re)infections.
Even more extreme than Florida.
