@juliank I’ve never explored why but I’ve always, ALWAYS had problems pairing my headphones to Linux and perhaps this (intel) is why

@neil @stephstephking @probgoblin @dubsteppenwolf YES! My wife achieves nearly 100% of her computer stuff on phone, I’m always frustrated and wishing a “real” computer was within reach

Not a generation difference here though, we’re the same age (neither zoomer or boomer)

@survey I gave it a good go but no, back on X

@toresbe hey Tore! 👋 cool to see you here!

@zhenech d'oh!

I forgot you were in Portland! I’m at a conference there in a week or so’s time. My first time in the city

@cks mastodon might get better. Pleroma (Erlang) is reportedly fleeter of foot, but partially at the cost of features.

@emacsen I’d be really interested in this but not as an admin; to be a useful transparency tool for Fediverse confidence

New work tool

@dualhammers so I started this and ended up deciding I needed to write some prerequisite blog post and also ended up planning an overhaul 🤷‍♂️

I hope to get at least one post out today

@giuliano_b @nova it’s a shame that the only uri form of the three recognised is not supported by Pleroma (the ‘@‘ in particular)

@csteacher i did host my own four-ish years ago but I’m afraid I can’t remember if that was an option (then)

It’s not every day I’m accused of “divine genocide”

@peter quite possibly, thanks!

@squirrellydave yes that’s ultimately going to be disappointing

Birdsite
I didn’t legitimise that nonsense with a vote either way and I doubt I’m alone

Why does anyone bother putting a verified badge in their profile on mastodon/the Fediverse?

@srtcd424 @benc I’m not sure if my blank-page skills have atrophied or stayed static whilst my edit/review skills have been honed

@csteacher @jwildeboer now I’m wondering what the point would be of a set of disparate instances all caching Fediverse data in separate S3 buckets. Alternatively don’t cache at all?

My starting point for mail filters is still to fork dsafilter https://jmtd.net/dsafilter/ which I wrote 16 years ago and still run
