if you hack a mastodon server does that mean you’re rootin’ tootin’?

WIRED just published my beginner's guide to Mastodon! Thank you to the 100+ people who responded to my request for tips and advice for understanding the culture here. https://www.wired.com/story/how-to-get-started-use-mastodon/

DuckDuckGo launches App Tracking Protection in public beta on Android, helping block third-party trackers within apps

I am working on a fairly standard PC build (AMD CPU, Nvidia GPU, a bunch of SSDs that I had lying around)

Ubuntu installed in minutes the first time and works great

Windows 10 and 11 are both crashing midway through the install process and I can’t figure out why

Somehow we’ve gotten to the point that Linux is easier than Windows

I’ve been playing mastodon for a whole day and haven’t even gotten to level 2

Unreal Engine 5.1 rolled out with plenty of Linux improvements https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2022/11/unreal-engine-51-rolled-out-with-plenty-of-linux-improvements/

Too real.

A History of Recent Twitter Migration to the Fediverse

1 month ago: Mastodon? No thanks. You have to have a Ph.D in Hackerology to use it.

3 weeks ago: I don't like this Mastodon... But if I have to... *sigh*

2 weeks ago: Wait. This does really cool things like let me edit posts. So genius. Is this free?

1 week ago: OMG! There's other apps! Now I know why there's a Fediverse!

Today: Comrades—let's fight for our freedom! Cast off the chains of Big Social!

How do you make a thread on Mastodon?

Pretty much the same way as on Twitter, with one difference. You compose the first post, publish it, then reply to it, then reply to the reply, and so on. But there's one difference. If the first post is Public, you can make all the others Unlisted. This way, people can follow the thread by clicking on the first post, but their timeline isn't clogged up with all of the other posts.
