Was thinking the #TwitterMigration reminds me of the OPPOSITE of the GooglePlus launch.

Then you had a very robust, polished Silo of a Facebook Clone site. Pretty full featured and shipped like Googlers ship all their products...but a Ghost Town.

Here you get something no one owns, not even one platform like #Mastadon owns. And it is already well beyond in some ways what Twitter offers, in other ways different and rougher...but so ALIVE with people, inventing new ways to extend and use.

Yesterday instead of writing a script in bash I gave Babashka (a Clojure interpreter) a try. I would say I’m more proficient with Bash than with Clojure at this point, but I feel the resulting code is actually better with Babashka: having access to a REPL is really a game changer for writing cleaner and more modular code. A very positive experience overall, thank you @borkdude!

Testing the @thepine64 PineTime watch ⌚️

Fully #opensource software inside, small screen but nice colors.
Fully functionnal with a companion app of /e/OS:
- time
- alarm
- notifications
- incoming calls
- music player control
- heart beat rate
- podometer

Pretty cool for $27!

Well, I filed my 1st Mastodon issue (a suggestion that's probably only comprehensible if you follow #w3c #patcg #w3cpatcg meetings or obscure #privacy nerd articles) and there is already a pull request in to deal with it. Impressive

Huh. Wishful thinking, but I wonder if it’s actually getting to him. This isn’t his only whiny shitpost about #Mastodon.

This one is for all the new people on #Mastodon: did you know that the #fediverse has more than just a microblogging replacement? And that they can all interoperate with your Mastodon account?

Check them out!

Facebook replacement: Friendica
Instagram replacement: Pixelfed
YouTube replacement: PeerTube
Spotify replacement: Funkwhale
MeetUp replacement: Mobilizon
Reddit replacement: Lemmy
Podcasting replacement: Castopod
GoodReads replacement: BookWyrm

Tired: Crossposting to Mastodon

Wired: Crossposting to Twitter

Also Mastodon is the only social media where I've seen Ublock have nothing to block

Sometimes websites open small pop-up windows that do not load all the menus, address bars etc. e.g. during paypal payment.

That is fine in most cases, but I need access to some plugin symbols such as the password manager and ad blockers.

How can I tell Firefox to always show me these even if the callig websites tries to not have them show up?

If you can't help, please boost :)

A serious note on #FollowFriday, heavily inspired by @researchfairy toots today, is that your list of X Type of Person can also be Y person's hitlist for harassment campaigns. Much better to discover people more organically or through themselves and their own hashtags unless the person you're intending to Follow Friday has given their consent to be on an additional-exposure list. 1/2
