Fine, Java MIGHT be a good example of what a programming language should be like. But Java applications are good examples of what applications SHOULDN'T be like. #quotes #programming

I've just recently learned that you can follow hashtags in mastodon. Game changer!

Did you know that if you capitalize each word in a multi-word hashtag, #ScreenReaders can read them as words, but if you leave them lowercase, they can't? Well, now you know! So, for #accessibility, please capitalize words when there's more than one in a hashtag.

I see a lot of people talking about how Mastodon "Feels like the Internet I remember from 20 years ago."

That's no accident. That's Federation. That's UseNet, IRC, Email, Message Boards, etc. What do they all have in common?

Federation: Users congregating around watering holes of common interest, but still being a part of a larger whole.

THIS IS HOW THE INTERNET WAS DESIGNED TO BE. And I am HERE for it.

This is my "Atari STe": a new board made by Exxos, the Phoenix. Almost all parts taken from a donor and installed, by me, in this one. Lots of improvements compared with the original.

"This situation" (for the people that knows what I'm talking about) must be similar to what happened to : you can buy the brand, but still kill the spirit of a company.

Let's start with the obvious: my fascination with (and, in the picture, part of my collection of) computers and, in general, vintage computing.

How to deal with a slow computer and an unsupported OS like Win11 on that computer? Install #línux and be done with it. You just saved bunch of monies :P
