    @evan@prodromou.pub @evan@identi.ca ( and formerly @evan@e14n.com ) has said this a few times, but here it is again.

    "Every time you post on Twitter, you produce value for the advertisers.

    You tell everyone in your network there that it's OK to stay. That you're all helpless to leave.

    You tell the people who've lost their jobs, the people who are being hounded and harassed, that they are not important to you.

    You know you're going to be ashamed of it later.

    Just stop posting.

    Do it here, not there. Connect here, not there.

    Don't reply, don't like, don't retweet.

    Stop feeding your life into the machine."

    This was true before Elon #Musk bought #Twitter, but I guess it wasn't as important before.

    I don't fully agree, simply because there may be some advantages to many people who continue to use Twitter instead of moving to the #Fediverse (e.g., #GNU_Social, #Mastodon, #Pleroma, #Misskey, #PixelFed, #Lenny / #Lemmy, etc) or they would have moved over already.

    Also, because unless one self-hosts one's own presence, an angry instance admin is all it takes to lose all posts and connections and have to start over. Or, if one has contacts on a different instance, then irate instance admins participating in #blockwars (including #fediblock) can separate the person from some portion of their contacts.

    So remember, everything that Twitter is or can do to you, your Fediverse instance can also do. Most instances will never do most of those things, but pretending that one is safe here could result in disappointment in the future.

    I have found that when I work, usually code or design stuff, I can't listen to podcasts because they take too much attention to what I am working on. Music is no problem.

    That means my computers are at least four years old and way under-powered compared to new stuff.

    @lnxw48a1 I tried SSB a few years ago after they presented at LibrePlanet. Even then I found the client too resource intensive. I'm usually running other people's discarded computers that I've refurbished, but that means my como

    @clacke Our #KWNPSA user group chatted with the #GetTogether developer a few months ago. He said demand for self-hosted G2G instances was minimal, and event interchange even more minimal. So #ActivityPub support on G2G has stalled, and he considers G2G more or less stable and mature.

    @lnxw48a1 Ubuntu 22.04 has way too much reliance on snaps. Can't even get a regular install of Firefox, f'rinstance, only a snap.

    That "aura" around bright objects is what I saw when I first got a cataract (clouding of the lens). It wasn't bad at first, and only in one eye, so I let it go until my vision was totally obscured in that eye. Don't do that. Get your eyes checked, and maybe a referral to an opthalmologist who specializes in cataracts.

    Ok, that’s what I thought, thank you for the explanations. When I wear the new glasses, anything beyond a couple of feet is doubled until my eyes adjust which takes more time than with my current glasses, and then it still is almost imperceptibly blurry, although the comparison between the glasses makes it clear, especially looking at bright objects which light β€œspills” around them like an aura.

    It is impossible to decipher in how many layers if sarcasm this is written. It's glorious.
