> thank you for the explanations, very clear!

Thanks! Glad I could help. Always nice to talk to someone else interested in how Mastodon works :)

@exstral

But, say you reply to Alice (on a different server) and Bob (on a third server) follows Alice but not you. Then, if Bob clicked on Alice's toot and expanded it to see all replies, Bob's server would request the replies from Alice's server, and get your toot—even if Bob's server wasn't federated with #fosstodon.

There are probably a few other cases like that (hashtag searches, maybe? Not actually sure how that works)

I'm not particularly upset with system76—they didn't manufacture the computer, after all. And my understanding is that build-qualty issues are a major reason they brought desktop manufacturer in-house. And their support has been pretty good (though it did irk a bit to pay for the second keyboard).

All that said, I don't really feel like I can trust the build quality of the laptop at this point, even if I manage to get the keyboard working. (I still might get a Thelio, though!)

> What problems are you having [with the system76 laptop]

Well, while the computer was still within its one-year warranty, I had the fan fail and then had some keys on the keyboard stop working. Replacing the fan and keyboard fixed the issue temporarily, but the new fan started acting up and the new keyboard stopped working after the warranty expired. I bought a replacement keyboard from system76, but that didn't fix it

> did you create a ticket with support?

Several, actually

Anyone have any thoughts on the #dell Latitude line of laptops?

I'm thinking about picking up a used one to address some of the hardware issues I've had with my #system76 laptop

> So, it's been a bit over one month, should I stay on anarchism.space or return to fosstodon?

Well, I can't speak to anarchism.space—I'm sure there are great people there too—but I can say I saw this toot because it was on the #fosstodon local timeline. I may well have missed it in my full timeline.

And I've still been very happy with our instance in the past month

So, here I am, impatiently awaiting a new #meditation bench I ordered.

… yeah, I might be missing the point just a bit

> So far I'm really liking #rust and feel like trying something more complex than "The Fibonacci Sequence" or "Print a n by m checkerboard in the shell". Still I'm nit confident enough to try my luck with #redox. Any suggestions?

I'd suggest a simple CLI app—either a reimplementation of one you commonly use or, even better, a brand new one that solves a minor problem in your daily workflow

@sir oh, I missed that. Makes sense. Anyway, yeah, it seems like something that's getting better, slowly

@sir

> This is a lot better than when I wrote that article, but it's still peanuts compared to C.

Oh, I didn't see the date on that post. For some reason, the toot showed up as new in my feed. That seems to have been happening occasionally lately; odd
