I refuse to refer to people with the name "Sean" as if it is pronnounced "Shawn".. there is no logical explanation for such a pronunciation... No you are pronounced "seen" and you get no say in it!

One key difference I've learned between #Mastodon and the other place is that #favourites 🌟 do not help others to see a post, but rather just let the author know you liked the content. #Boost 🔄 shares the post with your followers. Boost liberally is the mantra I've been seeing as there is no underlying algorithm automatically pushing popular material to the top of the pile.
Two neighbours have their Christmas trees up already! But I don't really care because who am I to judge another persons good time. 🌲 🍬
#cycling home from work in the pitch black at 5pm. If I get knocked over with 5 separate lights and an entire outfit of high viz clothing, i'll be really miffed.

systemd romance novel?
I did a search for "Unix history" on kobo.com, and it turned up a book in the *romance* section of all places... called "Saved by Systemd: An Erotic Unix Encounter."
I... uh... what? uhm...
I believe the correct action is to run away screaming. So I was stunned that one of the reviews says "it's amazing... This is a book to read whether you love or hate systemd. I genuinely dislike systemd, but reading this book made me discover uner a new sexy light."
Are there many users of #Bookwyrm here? I'm not new to #foss but I am new to the #fediverse. I've used Goodreads for as long as I can remember. Any big pros or cons before I dive in?

#introduction
Hello! I'm new here like many others, figured I'd try out all of the birdapp alternatives.
I'm a #linux user currently running arch/KDE on my main rig and PopOS/Gnome on my laptop.
I play a lot of video games, I read a lot of books. #overwatch #godofwar #gaming #linuxgaming #fantasy #scifi
I've been trying to learn #python for a few years now. Not so easy for me.
But yeah, hello! :)
