BlueStacks Version Upgrade! #Android on #Windows
And then, once you isntalled and start using it for the first time, in a few minutes a crash. 😞
...and you realize you FORGOT the cautious ways of sys admin people who rather not be trying to Fix What Ain't Broken.
A good thing to keep in mind.
Was using ~14% processor power without any Android app in use at the time - just for BlueStacks environment. That is lots.

@Sadiqkazi It is, and I'm cautiously optimistic about a return to decentralised networks. Though I'm concerned that many on Mastodon don't realise we're being hosted by individuals who put in time, effort and their own cash to keep their servers and instances running.
Getting off corporate-run Internet services also means returning to a community-run model, which depends on volunteers to donate/ moderate/ help out. I hope we can all step up more in the future.
+ I'm old enough to remember the Web of the 1990s/ 2000s.
It was a maze. You followed hypertext links, stumbled into forums and early troll-caves, used Slashdot and GoTo, experimented with LiveJournal and Blogger.
It wasn't safe, it was filled with weirdness, appealed heavily to geeks and loners. Being on the web in that era was a serious trip.
But it wasn't corporate. It wasn't the tool of major governments, yet. It was defiantly decentralised, and when you were online...
... you felt free.
Majority of Americans know they're under constant surveillance, don't trust the companies doing it, and feel helpless to stop it

1. QOTO is run by a computer scientist !! @freemo
2. It offers a 60k charachter limit, so you can rant as much as you want.
3.It is pro free speech and doesn't moderate without warnings.
4. It has other technical features as well, eg- search works differently.
@inditoot is amazing as well, It is pro-free speech and I believe the admin depends on contributions to keep the instance alive.
Both Qoto and inditoot have great relations and I think a no-ban policy as well.
Friendly diplomatic relations.
Would advise people to move out of Mastodon.social though. It is getting overloaded anyway.
