@rootcompute People are thankful to people who post less - it makes looking at your whole posts possible in one day! And I mean that as a quality thing else I might not have looked (and not have boosted a good handful I have and might do reading on now!)...

@jake4480 I don't understand why anybody would send their password to an AI chatbot. The levels of stupidity...

If you're tired of reading online news articles that are stuffed full of ads and autoplay videos, I recommend trying out 68k.news

While intended for vintage computers, this is actually great for any device if you just want plain text news articles. I have it set to open as a secondary tab on my internet browser.

#news #retrocomputing #throwbackthursday

@Quinn9282 Same, I got uBlock Origin on all of my devices and got it on my family/friends computers too. My dad who isn't very tech savvy and mostly reads online articles really appreciated it.

I'll fight ads to the bitter end. Big tech companies with their walled garden/closed ecosystem devices are constantly trying erode the power of the personal computer. If I had my way, every device in my house would be a computer just so I can ensure adblocking. I kinda want to set up a Pi-hole someday

All about having better games for me and others (kids and adults)... which sadly isn't the case always.., (especially in cities but not always) 

@rootcompute @lonelyautomata
All about having better games for me... which sadly I can 100% say hasn't existed much in youth or not as much as I was looking for or wanted to be offered as a menu of life's options...

It's also asking a lot from life for 100% of the time to have human contact and humanistic things to do as games, tasks, past-times etc... punchline coming:

but that's why we all probably got into computers right - wasn't much else after BMX, park and few idiot friends... after that it was back home with frankly idiot (nice but simple) parents... so this whole solution from how I see it and really measured is like solving the long chain of things - just to get to that stage of less Apple / less watching stuff....

but meantime less advert via filter sites (Invidious example invidious.fdn.fr/watch?v=R3ptZ)
⬆️ can help kids
and doing practical things COPIED from web so it's watching ➡️ action

like building a cob house / earth house in back yard ! (more info if you want)

I think there are kids doing this (girls and plaiting hair, origami ideas, art and design etc)

so just takes a few humans to encourage (which brings me back to Free School and encouraging humans... usually adults first!)

#MASTODON #QUESTION - GIF files shown as MP4 (maybe)... 


Why are GIF files shown as MP4 videos (OR it says gif in bottom left of uploaded Fediverse media but plays as MP4 source)... I'm not sure what it was originally uploaded as but still doesn't match label of gif in bottom left...

About not talking about your real name (and similar deep topics)... 

About not talking about your name (and similar deep topics)...

So I wanted to cover this before I forget and it's always been super-important to understand when someone say "no" but in a polite way and to see it's not always they are being rude or hiding something (though it can be they don't trust you and are saying I need time or 100 other things and "it's deeply political, I generally never care for names and like nicknames etc better"

So "what my name is" to other can feel too even though it's like the 1st thing people ask!

As I feel similar in other things I though I'd better cover this because relativity is there - also a lack of clarity on my part I see or others (much of FreeSchool is my expression BUT to save people time and say "THIS IS IT - THIS IS WHAT I MEAN" or ask me and I'll search what I have in the 'feelings' department I operate in a lot ... (others more in the physical spaces).

So I would like to know how you would explain to someone about this part of not wanting to talk about it if that applies to you...

Would help me and others... Thanks :thumbsup_hmn_g1:

And I'll re-write this soon

Example person is below (but just checked is changed only recently) about what not to ask / talk about:

* Fuck all Nazis, burn in hell alt-right🤬 🤬 🤬
*where I live
*what my name is
*color of my persona
*gender
*age
*job
*s*xual orientation
*politics
*world view"

That perhaps has more that the average 'not this list' but I feel like even this is useful to say at least!

@loke Link and reminder for myself mostly: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arch_Ene

First I heard of them...
and Bloodwood before who are loosely variations of metal / *might like*

I see myself in everyone.

(not much the ego at work but pieces we all have and share together... in 1 humanity - Awesome!)

@toddanderson Good stuff (from unprofessional eye) and at first look, looks like a photo and then traced over...

At long last, the Thunderbird blog now has a "Share To Mastodon" button!

A hearty round of applause and eternal thanks to @micah, @oopsallnaps, and @devmount for making it happen 💙

Strange Fruit recorded by Billie Holiday (about the lynching days) written by Abel Meeropol (Lewis Allan)... 

@MikeDunnAuthor@kolektiva.so A nicely sung song here and bit of haunting lyrics about the lynching days:

█Lyrics to Strange Fruit recorded by Billie Holiday
(written by Abel Meeropol under his pseudonym Lewis Allan)

Southern trees bear strange fruit
Blood on the leaves and blood at the root
Black bodies swinging in the southern breeze
Strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees

Pastoral scene of the gallant south
The bulging eyes and the twisted mouth
Scent of magnolias, sweet and fresh
Then the sudden smell of burning flesh

Here is fruit for the crows to pluck
For the rain to gather, for the wind to suck
For the sun to rot, for the trees to drop Here is a strange and bitter crop

Hi do think you will reply ? (been a while and few times via direct and public message)... 

@GurdeepPandher Hi do think you will reply ? (been a while and few times via direct and public message)...

This is sure to be an example of people not being clear...

Just asking if you never plan to reply to people or what's happening here - "Adding joy, hope and togetherness to the world grappled with sadness, stress, and divisions."

(it's ok but either way just say please else you leave me hanging my dancing friend of joy - good stuff but also teasing people unknowingly or not...)

Whether they die in a slaughterhouse or drown at sea when the ship taking them to that slaughterhouse sinks the animals always lose.

God bless the people who in turn provide me. (a poem and thanks whether it's Sunday today or not)

God bless the people who in turn provide me.
For even if I don't believe in God
I have to make time to thank thee

As people may confuse that which they don't see
I still have to say, "I thank thee"

(Thank you all.)

#Mastodon #Suggestion for incompatible instances / blocked servers 


If you can't follow someone due to incompatible instance / block servers (other instance may have blocked due to a few users or politically) - you can still follow users using this way...

Add those people to a list (Subscribe via RSS)... I think this is the way or simplest how to say it

(someone please check me if I'm correct if they use it daily that this works as I've said)

Amazing!! Analyzing a tesseract , to stretch your mind into the fourth dimension ! ciechanow.ski/tesseract/
