Softcore computer geekery 

doings are going well; driver bundle installed great and keyboard and touchpad are behaving.

(well, the viewer) worked fine in a quick test, two-monitor support seamless, plugging in the Ethernet works. WoW is downloading at like 12MB/s, so we'll be able to test that eventually. :)

The "WhatsApp" "App" for "Windows" seems to have crashed hard enough that I can't run it again, but really that's for ya.

Unfortunately I have to stop actively working on #Metatext for a while due to health issues. I really wish I could implement Mastodon 4 features and squash every bug, but it's not possible for me to do so right now.

I know the app has become important to a lot people, so I'm open to a new maintainer who can carry on its values of privacy and accessibility taking it over if there's interest and a fit. Email info@metabolist.org if you (or your organization) are interested

My arrived! (A few days before it was scheduled to!)

I apparently ordered the "DIY" version, which I'd forgotten, but the DIY part was just sliding in the SSD and RAM, and was trivially easy.

For a laptop this thing is an absolute DREAM!

Installing turned out to require a Windows machine (mine's broken; that's why I bought this one!) and a USB key, but turns out my son had both conveniently to hand).

All going great so far! Hid away and installed , now updating various "drivers".

Extremely funny to see "c:\Windows\system32" in the header of the little shell the drivers installs pop up.

More like System64, amIrite?

I’m following a ton of people on here but I only see posts from like 5-10 consistently. What am I doing wrong with my timeline?

Dear #fediverse,

I am leading a "Mastodon 101" session for the journalists in our #Boston newsroom tomorrow.

What would you like them to know about you and about this platform?

Yr. humble servant etc etc.

CIRA is the non-profit that manages the .CA domain. You can follow them on Mastodon at "@ cira@mstdn.ca" (*without* the space in between!). Here's a direct link: mstdn.ca/@cira.

Did you know that CIRA just announced an official partnership with Mastodon Canada, mstdn.ca? Details here: indieweb.social/@tchambers/109

I wrote an article diving into the statistics on far-right extremist violence compared to far-left extremist violence, and to say the least, it’s not a “both sides” problem. An estimated 75% of extremist killings in the US over the past decade are attributed to far-right extremists, compared to 4% attributed to far-left extremists — and that’s on the high end of the estimates for far-left extremist violence.

well well well…

I said a few days ago I will change the face of the Fediverse… This wasn't a lie! :blobfoxthinkanime:

I introduce you to Indra, a brand new ActivityPub server made by me and myself!
(I got help about AS/AP specs/behaviour from nice people :nkoLove: )

For 3 weeks, I worked night and weekend. :nkoSleep:
It's pretty basic and rough (no client interface, basic Server to Server communication, don't try following me, it's not implemented yet lol)

I'm proud to announcing it today :yotsuba_yay:

Sure, you can already fetch the very federated post:
https://indra.dupon.in/object/3b49659d-5193-4762-81a1-a0ef17ad1f85

Please don't bully my server too much, I'm not even sure it won't explode during flight lol :blobcatfearful:

Project's website: https://indra.social
(it's almost empty :blobcatnotlikethis: )
Source code: https://codeberg.org/indra/indra

sure you can boost/share/renote/announce/whatever this post :cirno_smile:

#indra

———— cut here 8< ————

further info:
I made it in the same spirit as Pleroma (❤️ :pleroma_fox_tan: ) something light and multipurpose
Instead of being a big monolithic server (like almost all ActivityPub projects), I target it being modular with bricks you plug-in to add functionalities or behaviours

Hello World! Just changed servers from Mastodon.art, loved it over there but I would like more blend in my feed. I’m a designer/photographer/painter that was the biggest fan of Twitter until recent changes.. now it’s time for something new. Follow me if you like random #art and #photography with a dash of #blackmastodon seasoning. Attached is a character I recently created named “Bug.” #introduction

I guess it’s a good time for an introduction

Hi! I’m Bailey. I’m genderfluid, trans, and non-binary. I’m a bi lesbian (yes, we exist) and poly

I like to do pretty much all fiber arts, write short stories, write and play ttrpgs, play retro games, and I’m a bit of a retro tech enthusiast

I’m deeply hopeful to start making zines now that I’ve finally collected enough cast-off office equipment to publish at home

Twitter anti-nostalgia 

Realizing how nice it is not to have to constantly check to see if my feed has automatically flipped out of "supposedly chronological" mode and into "what the Overlords want to show you".

Hello #bookstodon! I am the author of OBVIOUSLY, ALIENS, a funny novel about aliens coming to earth and the mismatched duo who have to help them. I’m currently working on a new #sff novel about a pilot who has to work with her ex-boyfriend to save a lost teenage girl.

Timed muting of accounts is an amazing feature of #Mastodon. I'm trying to get a 'clean' timeline, but I don't want to directly unfollow or fully mute some accounts, just because they are tooting a lot about a certain topic that I might not be interested in right now. Muting them for a few hours or a day allows me to cleanup my feed, while not hiding future content that I might be more interested in.
