Here's a fun experiment. Paste this into your browser's developer console:

window.addEventListener('keydown', () => { if (Math.random() < .1) event.preventDefault(); })

This will randomly drop 10% of your key presses.

See how long you can work with this before you lose your mind.

I mean, they are Bing results, but I still feel like Microsoft is trolling me...

@bchhun@mastodon.social @alcinnz@floss.social .NET is certainly better than Electron, but I'm still looking for an option that binds well to my personal favorite language (Rust)... 😔

My Mastodon feed has shown me 6 linux based pieces of content in a small window of time. Love this.

Does anyone else find it outrageous that U.N. agencies keep removing RSS feeds for their updates while prominently featuring Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and Youtube accounts on their websites? Our taxes fund these entities. We deserve open access to the content they produce.

I want to show you that that Internet you used to go exploring is still very much there. There are still tons of small personal websites, and a wealth of long form text from both the past and the present.

So it's a search engine. It's perhaps not the greatest at finding what you already knew was there, instead it is designed to help you find some things you didn't even know you were looking for.

Where do you spend the most time in #mastodon?

I am in Local the most tbh

If you can boost it would be nice

A few years ago I made this flow chart of which Mastodon posts end up in which timelines!

So, you can see how each instance will have a different local timeline, and even a slightly different federated timeline - and you can see why the federated timeline moves so much faster than the local one, too.

This is why it's important to boost good posts and use hashtags - the fediverse is fragmented and harder to search by nature.

Seeing people with so much knowledge and culture, and cultivating themselves continuously really inspires me to strive to do better.

Almost all I know is about computers, and I spent those past 11 years of my life on computers, getting more and more technical knowledge about them. I've reached a point where I feel like I don't need to know more about them or about programming, and that my goals have been overreached by a fair margin.

I think my new goals are about cultivating myself, now. I want to know more, be more aware. I want to understand people, I want to know more about other topics, and in particular about cultures and societies. I want to learn languages so I can speak to more people, and so I can know people better and understand them better. I especially want to understand the way people think better, and how they got to thinking the way they do.

This is hard, as this is so different from what I've been doing for so long. But I want to work towards it, even if it's hard for someone who was so immersed in computers.

I have plenty of time for it. I find it amazing how some people manage to speak so many languages, and know about so many topics. I believe I've given enough time to learning about computers, and that it is time to look into other things.

You're all inspiring me to learn new things. I want to know more about everyone, and so, I will try to learn your languages so that I can understand you all and speak to you all as well. Thank you for inspiring me.

#Pinephone and other ARM64 device owners who want to see #Signal support might be interested to jump in on helping with the testing of this fork:
github.com/dennisameling/Signa

UI improvements would also be needed to get signal working as a usable daily thing on Pinephone, for example, but this is huge progress if it gets merged back into upstream Signal or manages to keep parity.

I know Moxie and Signal are thoroughly disappointing in many respects, but the reality is that Signal's a 'killer app' for many, including myself, to build a middle-ground with normies and family. Having it work on devices like the Pinephone someday would be a huge win.

I have zero desire to write software in Go, but I sure do love all these sweet statically linked binaries the Go people produce
