* Window 10 FREE upgrade for Windows 7 or 8 Registered users ! *

Microsoft is still allowing Windows 7 and 8.x users to upgrade their systems (which must be activated) for __*FREE*__ to a Windows 10 of the same family.

Someone running Windows 7 Home, Home Premium or Ultimate can go thru it, and have a legal and Activated Windows 10 Home digital license at the end. A Windows 7 or 8 Pro install will upgrade to a Windows 10 Professional, fully licensed.

I have done it, twice, in recent days. And it's EASY, anyone can do it.

A really well made page that introduces and explains the Pleroma site's Front End to new users.

Pleroma can also be used with a Mastodon Front End, or FE for short, easier for users who are already in mastodon instances.

I like the project a lot -- many nice ideas and fresh air, they are pushing the envelope while in many places, getting a Maximum Toot Size larger than 500 characters is already an unacceptable request (been there, tried that, denied. Twice.)

** For those of us who like to read and learn, the official Pleroma documentation is located at :

"BeOS: The Alternate Universe’s Mac OS X"

A nice article by Erin Pinheiro just posted on Hackaday.com. Recommended reading for anyone interested in UI and system design, Op Systems, evolution of comp tech.

https://hackaday.com/2020/01/09/beos-the-alternate-universes-mac-os-x/

"Meet The BeOS
Could you imagine emailing someone a video file in 1995? Be Inc. did.

BeOS was, at the time, a foray into a new way of doing home computing. The features it introduced that were brand new at the time are now ubiquitous — things such as preemptive multitasking, journaling filesystems and an uncluttered desktop design.

In a way, it was forward-thinking enough that if you look at a screenshot of it today you’d swear it was just any other modern Linux environment, ’90s graphical aesthetic aside. "

You like emojis?

Like, REALLY like them? How about 7,315 of them? All in one instance, no kidding.

See them, get them, download the whole set at : https://fedimojis.feuerfuchs.dev/fedi.absturztau.be

Find a place to host your files, videos, mastodon or other social media instance? Yesterday I discovered this one, which is similar to the French Chatons -- https://chatons.org/en

"librehosters is a network of cooperation and solidarity that uses free software to encourage decentralisation through federation and distributed platforms. Our values connect transparency, fairness and privacy with a culture of data portability and public contributions to the commons. "

A Guide to Fediverse Drama, seems a nice thing to have.

Just getting started and the Drama, yeah. LOL...

Posts are dated from 2017, but I have been reading some good materials from the same vintage and many things are still current.

#wise

On the popular trends.

#1 in France at the moment.

Today I discovered and joined a new instance. Amazing how we cross paths and discover things at random points. Serendipity, is a Thing.

This instance is called Expired Mentality, RIP.

Source of the name? I will quote :

" yep, thanks to hysterical Gab dev for this name. https://youtu.be/TveK9Sfwtvo?t=96 "

LOL.... 😜

op : https://expired.mentality.rip/notice/9qmKRuKbWVnVjT8uKO

** Want to see and get to know a Pleroma Node? I vouch for https://expired.mentality.rip/ **

@a1batross Worth mentioning that GlitchSoc instances ( cutting edge branch of Mastodon development, various cool instances running it right now) , GS instances already support MarkDown formatting in text.

Which looks very pretty in the GS instances, and does NOT mess up or break normal Mastodon nodes. The same message shows as a plain Jane, no makeup, girl next door on a Monday morning version. lol...

Example below? GlitchSoc posted, with MarkDown rich text, and viewed in Pinafore client.

** Things to Keep an Eye out For **

A client for mobile devices that support the Enhanced Text format that Pleroma users enjoy in their instances.

We here in mastodon world, can always wish for, but they have it, NOW.

Mobile clients still not supporting these extensions, but I was just chatting with an admin of a Pleroma node who is building a fork of Tusky -- which will offer that and more.

Not released yet, he's waiting for Tusky release v.10, since his code is based on development versions of Tusky itself.

Thanks @a1batross !! Look forward to seeing it!
