Can't possibly allow early voting in GA for the run-off... it's Robert E. Lee's birthday, donchano?
@leahmcelrath https://www.wendycarlos.com/ is a wonderful resource, but she stopped updating and I would not be surprised if she has become too frail to continue Eclipse Chasing as she had done in the past. My mom had Switched-on Bach, I've no idea where it vanished to. I then encountered her music again with Tron. It was the very first time I had known of someone not cross-dressing, but transitioning from cis-male to trans-female. I loved the music, but even then as a Christian, I understood it was her life, not mine.
I've dropped the Christian faith, but found my inner core value, "its not my life to decide for another" was still my value, and even more because "no god, no sin." So I think of Carlos and her work from time-to-time, and smile. I am a quiet fan who hopes she is living her best. Wendy Carlos is worthy.

To this extent I'm really interested to know how the age breakdown of people on the #Fediverse. On one hand it would seem to make sense to me that most people here remember the "old internet" before the centralization and they're here to rekindle that flame of independence. On the other hand the youths are generally pretty up on this whole technology thing. I grew up on the internet and since then smartphones have become even more ubiquitous.

@leahmcelrath Do you know if she is well? It's been ages since she updated her website, and she's... not so young. 😢
@leahmcelrath OMG WTF LOL! If I can't login, I guess I'm done with it. The moron...
@rbreich That, and wealthy proponents of anti-abortion like politicians and pastors just go out-of-state. "They will know we are Christians by our love." Or at least the license plates in states that permit health care for women.
@antares While I agree with Libertarians on a personal, philosophical basis, their ideas don't scale up to the public arena.
@markoftheD Yay and stuff! Good to see you here. :)

For those of you struggling with an unwieldy new animal in your house, he’s a 1-page RPG to help you settle in!

Oh dear! I'm just an armchair space enthusiast, but my understanding of n-body is that it's just plain evil black-magic. I'm glad it exists, but ... wow. Evil. Pure evil.
Welcome!
@ordabchao23 My server is older set. Me, my wife, her adult son, a retiree and another older gentleman. We are currently working a pure survival on SpigotMC. We have a plugin to allow bedrock so my young nephew can play also.
@howardtayler þis is a þorn in my side.
@War_Kittens @freemo @lavenderlens @trinsec Perhaps not, but I consider Tannehill a valuable person even if I don't know her personally. I'm simply not in a position to persuade her she is mistaken, and I *SURE AS HELL* don't want to be the person to "mansplain" Mastodon to her. I find her analysis of various topics excellent, very well thought out, superbly written, and I don't know enough about the specifics of her concerns to even begin.
@chowbok https://qoto.org/@trinsec/109336465284616122 may help with concerns you expressed on that other place... I *think*. You are welcome to join the conversation as you find fit.
@arush https://syrinscape.com/ was created by and for TabletopRPG players for use in games. It primarily has sound effects and background ambient noise. I'm using https://foundryvtt.com/ to remotely connect players, then I use https://vac.muzychenko.net/en/ for an "Audio out" I can control independently, using a streaming service to the TeamSpeak session we all use.
This allows me to use Syrnscape or play music from my machine for the benefit of all the players. I can insert smashing and explosions at well, and everything is "grouped" around what I'm doing at the time.
NOW for me to look at the link *you* posted to see what tools I can add to my bag of goodies! :)
@trinsec
Thank you for your prompt response. Yes, this platform has a very different feel to it culturally. I'm also quite pleased with the MAGA filter: you have to think and make well-reasoned choices to sign in.
@nogajun https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/article/minecraft-snapshot-22w17a search for "Multiplayer Secure Chat Signing."
1) You are free to disable it on your server.
2) If you do, any connecting client is *warned* you have done so.
3) Some plugins such as GeyserMC throw an error unless this is disabled.
4) Unless you can come up with specific, verified situations that are a cause for concern, you are simply fear-mongering and click-baiting. Stop it.

https://birdsite.wilde.cloud/users/brynntannehill/statuses/1591793016829870081 is what she referenced. I'm not familiar enough with Tannehill's concern or how it plays out here in this context. I will see if I missed a post where she clarifies "silo" but it seems relevant to this discussion.
I have only come here seeking knowledge... things they would not teach in college.

@mistakenotmy it's because of the way servers federate posts between themselves. If no-one follows me on a particular server, none of my posts exist on that server. As soon as someone there follows me, the server starts getting my new posts, but it doesn't go back and get the old ones.
I have a thread (on twitter, apols) with some observations about the unexpected ways Mastodon differs from Twitter.
