Not heard any more about organisations supporting mental health joining the Mastodon / peertube or the fediverse.
Maybe to get MH support you need to be on mainstream social media, which oddly is the cause of a lot of Mental health issues.

@jaywilliams @claudiom as this toot is boosted I'll explain my statement about rust. I have nothing about the language itself. It's just it has been adopted rather quickly in many fields without giving much time for non mainstream OS or architectures to do the porting work (requiring high skills), and this break many platforms because it's essential to have a working rust in 2021. It also requires a lot of memory for compilation and pulls many deps which is unmaintainable.

Looking forward to representing Small Tech (the exact opposite of Big Tech) and a view of human beings as *people* – not mere “consumers” – at the industry stage of the MediaTech Hub conference on Wednesday (I’ll be taking part virtually).

How do planets like Earth form? One theory predicts that asteroid-like objects called planetesimals bounce and bang into each other until they form a planet. Another posits that torrents of cosmic pebbles coalesce into a rocky surface. https://www.quantamagazine.org/scientists-debate-if-cosmic-pebbles-create-rocky-planets-like-earth-20211103/

In the pre-smartphone era, I hated wearing a watch and always wanted to return to the days of pocket watches.
Well guess what, my wish came true!

To be fair though, NTP (Network Time Protocol) can be fairly easily compromised if its not in the secure form. We remember reading something about it. It would be a bit less precise but we think it should go over a privacy layer like I2P or Tor to limit the ability of performing targetted attacks.
The clock at the hardware level could be starting to fail too, which would not be a Windows issue.

I have no idea what windows 10 was playing at earlier today.
As Iam running code club, I tried to access stack overflow. Doing this threw up an error, something to do with a website certificate and the time on my system,
At the time it was 10:46 am but the computer clock seemed to think it was 11:45,
Unable to change the computer clock (not admin), I decided to reboot, only this seemed to make the situation worse as the computer clock was now 12:40 something, so moved forward another hour,.
Gave up.
Windows 10 = FAIL
