Wait, there's a .pizza TLD? 😀

#FrameworkLaptop doings are going well; driver bundle installed great and keyboard and touchpad are behaving.

#SecondLife (well, the #Firestorm viewer) worked fine in a quick test, two-monitor support seamless, plugging in the Ethernet works. WoW is downloading at like 12MB/s, so we'll be able to test that eventually. :)

The "WhatsApp" "App" for "Windows" seems to have crashed hard enough that I can't run it again, but really that's #Windows for ya.

@rharang
real or pretend? :)

My #FrameworkLaptop arrived! (A few days before it was scheduled to!)

I apparently ordered the "DIY" version, which I'd forgotten, but the DIY part was just sliding in the SSD and RAM, and was trivially easy.

For a laptop this thing is an absolute DREAM!

Installing #Windows turned out to require a Windows machine (mine's broken; that's why I bought this one!) and a USB key, but turns out my son had both conveniently to hand).

All going great so far! Hid #Edge away and installed #Chrome, now updating various "drivers".

Extremely funny to see "c:\Windows\system32" in the header of the little shell the drivers installs pop up.

More like System64, amIrite?

@rmayemsinger

Could be! I am quite happy not to be using "the leader" if so. :)

@phartsy

Could be! It'll be interesting to see.

I can't really imagine at this point going back to Twitter to the extent I used to be on it, myself; in retrospect, it was been a toxic mess from before the muskyboi stepped in...

But maybe others mind it less, or really can't grok Mastodon.

@phartsy

I would not actually be sad if most people decided to go somewhere else :) not everything is about size.

I would probably stay here.

There was a critical mass on Mastodon / Fediverse before the Great Migration, and I expect there still will be critical mass even if lots of people go back to Twitter or w/e. All good!

@phartsy You very seldom need to either type or remember a server name. Just type "#art" or "#rabbits" or whatever into search, and you'll see all matching posts that your server knows of; that will be a subset of all of those that exist, or course :), but it's enough to get started.

Then look at a few of the people who posted those things (on any server in the world, just by clicking), follow some of them, things that they boost (from anyone on any server) will appear in your feed, etc. Your network will grow fast! (And of course do look at Local and Federated now and then just for variety.)

At least that's how I've done it; maybe I've been lucky! Enforcing a single name across all servers would mean some Central Naming Authority, and that would make me nervous. It could probably be done in a safe way, but it feels sort of camel's-nose to me.

@phartsy

Is that because you use the Federated feed a lot? I haven't found that it's significantly harder to see things happening on other servers than my own. But maybe that just varies with server. :)
