@retrosponge great 😄 let’s create circles of great people around us.

@lucifargundam nah! I see ya.

One of the things that I’ve done with Mastodon that’s different to how I’ve used other social media is muting and blocking at the first sign of attitude, rudeness, or general negativity in my timeline or notifications.

I’m treating my timeline like a nice garden and pruning weeds as soon as I see them.

I highly recommend it his approach.

@sesivany people don't seem to understand this. Twitter and Windows aren't great, they are popular, but not great. People often assume that the more popular something is the better it is, but that's not true.

The effort to create and maintain something like Linux or Twitter is not about ultimately replacing those, but creating something better for those who want something better. That may not be the masses, but still, not everyone is OK with mediocrity.

@lutris absolutely preservation! And this is something I feel strongly about.

Videogames are an art form, and as such they need to be preserved. For comparison, we have various film archives all around the world to preserve film, but for games, we only have hobbyist dumping and sharing ROMs and ISOs as the core preservation effort.

@pete @CodingItWrong SEs are GREAT! Small is good :D

@kellyn they are excellent things :) with Crostini and Android, they are really hugely useful!

@LordArse This is SOOOoooooooo cool! I would have sold a kidney as a child for this.

@solarisfire Maybe it's the type of gym, I used to go to a rusty old gym that had zero glamour and that was fine, but it closed and moved too far. So I joined a mainstream gym chain and it is awful!

Are people working out or hanging out? People watch videos on their phones, filming themselves, tripods in there sometimes! I really don't want to be in someone's live TikTok feed, or anything like that.

We've all seen the old Wild West signs reading "Leave your gun at the bar", I'm starting to think that gyms should become phone-free zones "Leave your phone at reception". There are too many people filming or looking at social media on machines now. Gyms have become truly obnoxious places.

#gym #workout #phonefree

@reefbuoy indeed. A lot of Sega driving games were great then, I'm a big fan of 18 Wheeler and Ferrari F355 too.
