Yes, me too! Now it won't be long before those Social #Surveillance Networks refuse to allow 1 January as a valid birthdate because it's an indicator of false ID information.
Making !GNUsocial work with #ActivityPub is the right thing to do, but I'm not sure that removing OStatus is. Does #Mastodon allow transport protocols to be added as plugins?
Sauerkraut! Definitely sauerkraut. I make mine using the insert from the crockpot. Makes about 4 mason jars at a time. Still have some stored in the basement from last year, but I should start a batch with this year's cabbages.
I think it helps to have time to follow curiosity. If there are questions that I want to know the answers to, and I have time and energy to pursue them, that can take up a lot of my attention. Sometimes that eventually leads to conflicts, if there are obstacles or societal incentives to dissuade people from finding the info.
It's hard to follow curiosity in a context where time and attention are claimed and commanded - like most elementary and high schools in North America.
Too bad the #Javascrippled Mastodon interface doesn't actually attach images to Toots, making them invisible to the rest of the !Fediverse. But this time it's worth browsing to the original message, downloading the image, and re-posting it.
♻ @MoritzHeiber: me: This user interface is easy to use, intuitive and will survive the test of time.
Find out if you have a local #LUG, a !Linux Users Group. In #Waterloo Region we have a great LUG, @KWLUG@sn.jonkman.ca, as well as completely separate groups for #KWNPSA ( #NonProfit #SysAdmin), #KWVoIP (a #VoIP Users Group), different user groups for just about every programming language (and three for #Javascript alone). All are warm and friendly -- I know, 'cos I've been to most. But start by finding a local Linux User Group, where people can point you in as many directions as you're willing to go.
Make 2019 the year of setting up personal RSS readers for you and your comrades. Don't let them rely on toxic corporate social media for their news & content .
