Fine way to spend a Saturday! Embroiled in the inner machinations of transferring my ftp logins and web server passwords to new MBP. It’s only been about 15 years now that Mrs. L has been telling me to get a little paper book to write logins in. I concede. 🤦🏻‍♂️👩🏻‍💻

People who say "My Twitch stream" give themselves too much credit, It's not yours, Amazon owns it. People who say "My Owncast stream" don't give themselves enough credit. It's all yours, Owncast just helps.

Just watched The Wildflower (dir:
Biodun Stephen 2022). Whilst I’m still recovering from such a stark harrowing treatment of a subject as old as time, I thought I’d take a few lines to give praise where praise is due. I think the Nigerian cast and crew should have by now won at least one gong for either writing or performances. Yeah it’s technically flawed. Especially the sound. Which seems like they couldn’t find a gain setting low enough to cope with the explosive motherly wisdom that was Toyin Abraham’s captivating performance. Irony was that possibly the strongest matriarch of the tightly knit ensemble cast met an unfortunate end at the hands of another type of abuse. So sad. And they always say they’re sorry and it’s the last time. Watch this but prepare to be moved. It has light and humour too and is a wonderful window into life in Lagos but by golly is it hard hitting. Literally.

Memory lane. What the iPhone iOS randomly throws at you. Used to hate it. Now love it, kinda. An AI’s idea of your scrapbook life.

So, I think I've dug as deeply into the #hachyderm drama as I need to, and settled on some conclusions.

* Most basically, the best insights came from seeing conversations on another platform: discord.

Admins from both sides were talking. And as it's a chat platform, the engagement and conversation was clearly more direct, free, expressive and clarifying.

If the fediverse wants to be the new internet, seriously, it needs to growup and move on from just microblogging.

A current worry: The only people with existing deep expertise in things like how the atmosphere/ocean/geosphere work are academics, who are ace at giving impartial evidence-based advice. But as lots of climate “solutions” companies spring up, these academics are consulting with them & in some cases leaving academia to work for them (often much better pay & working conditions) & are then limited in what they can tell the rest of us. So the public source of open unbiased expertise is at risk.
