Is it normal for I don't watch TV? 

@snow I consider it normal to not watch TV, but uncommon. I also categorize most paid streaming services as equivalent to TV, since they are a common alternative in 2020.

My home doesn't have a TV. I do watch a good amount of video on my laptop. The fact that I don't own a TV is uncommon in my area.

I just shared some tips with users in another instance, and plan to write a blog on this. But for now, here's the link:

@craigmaloney @polychrome @trechnex@mastodon.sdf.org The Cat from Outer Space was a fun movie. I haven't thought about that movie in years.

One of the major limits in Secure Scuttlebutt is the inability to reliably support multiple clients for the same account, limiting users to one device per identity.

A possible way to approach this would be an #ssb client that can act as a gateway for other clients, so say I could run Patchwork on my PC and connect to it remotely from my laptop or mobile client. A more technical user could put it on a VPS.

WhatsApp does something like this though it's limited to running the gateway on a smartphone.

@freemo I now use doom emacs, after having started with spacemacs. I found spacemacs to have long load times and unstable dependencies. Upgrades in spacemacs were always a gamble.

The key bindings are similar. No matter where I go next with emacs, I will almost certainly take the key bindings with me.
