If you don't get your world view from a professional class that hates you, where will you get it, from your peers? Your filthy unwashed peers?

Is Substack just Medium with a coat of paint?

this is how Santa's raccoons sneak into your chimney to deliver your presents

what i liked about this one is she was a gyaru but she wasn't mean and had to be reformed. he was a chubby nerd but he just really wanted to help her for her own sake and wasn't actually revolting or any self-insert author shit. and they grew feelings naturally. and her friends weren't mean they were supportive.

in my social circle in my early 20s there was a beautiful and smart and popular girl and there was a guy who was homeschooled and awkward with nerdy interests but with an incredibly kind heart. i don't know how it happened but they fell in love hard and in a year they got married. that was over 20 years ago and they are still emailing us pictures of their biking trips together. really seeming unlikely but beautiful pairings happen in real life.

I want to bash Substack creators head as strong as the ones of Medium. When did pop-ups became ok again? If someone from 2010 looked at today’s websites/platforms/social networks, they would say it looks like fucking malware

I never joined Twitter or really posted on Facebook. I'm somewhat of a private person, not wanting to expose myself to too much online. But Mastodon reminds me of "old internet" by being a bit clunky and complicated to use, which I hope selects for the people that I tend like.

I used to work as a software engineer in Silicon Valley, but moved back to Europe and wanted to do something different. Currently I'm studying physics and math, hoping to complete a master's degree by 2024.

I'm here looking for insightful or helpful interactions around topics
of , and . I'm also looking for a place to toot my horn a little about personal projects and things I've learned, since many of my interests are too esoteric for my real-life friends.

TIL: to find out what is attached to a device in /dev/ you can use:

udevadm info -q all -n /dev/

especially useful for things like /dev/ttyACMx if you connect more than one of them :D

I'm seeing lots of posts from journalists saying "We journalists will never stick around on Mastodon unless we get this or that feature that makes it more like Twitter".

I'm OK with that. Journalists are welcome not to stick around. No-one's forcing them to be here. I'm happy just to share the space with my friends. Not being broadcast to is, if anything, a feature.
