@ev Do you mean the Fediverse or just Mastodon? The Fediverse should continue to grow as a massive open network with a huge ecosystem of server types, client apps, and add-on services; just like email and the internet itself.
How many times do I have to delete the "Microsoft Edge" icon from the desktop? Every day?! #Windows11 #MicrosoftEdge #Windows
@rockerman@mastodon.uy Try https://www.freenom.com/. Sometimes they have free ones, but it might take some searching.
@ylitvinenko I sometimes tape one to the inside of the case. :)
Don't trust any service on the internet you cannot host yourself, if needed. I am a very happy customer of https://masto.host for my instance, I am definitely not looking forward to run it on my own machine, but it makes me feel good to know I can, should the need arise.
@rockerman@mastodon.uy @delta If I understand the question correctly, I got a Black Friday VPS deal from RackNerd.com for $11 per year.
@tiffanycli Of course I wish the USA could be much better about that, but given history, I'm not sure I'd say we deserve it. :-/
@soller Wow! That's exactly the monitor I had with my Pentium II 256Mb RAM Windows NT 4 machine! Nice!
@jhpot Well, it probably won't be any time soon. Keeping the dumb TV until it breaks. :)
@jhpot Might go for one of these next: https://www.sharpnecdisplays.us/products/displays/m551 There's a slot for a RPI Compute module you can program yourself!

This morning, the @washingtonpost@twitter.com published an exhaustive investigation of the Biden classified docs story by some of its best reporters showing that Biden's lawyers and aides did everything right, and nobody noticed.

I heard you like taskbars, so I put taskbars in your title bars in Notepad and File Explorer! #Windows11 #Notepad
I guess "Idiocracy" is coming true. https://youtu.be/s8TM_RD3qrI (Video: Are we getting dumber and dumber?)
@evan
I believe the rule is one hair style change.
@Montag I still have mine and the password in my Keepass database. ;) Still works, but none of the friend connections were ever saved to the server.
@caiocgo @chrismessina Two heads are better than one!! :D

When I think of obvious missing tech products, I can’t do most of them, because as soon as the idea gained traction as a product it would be taken over by a big company, partly because users prefer that. So a lot of gaps never get filled.
That’s the lesson from twitter shutting down the clients again. It isn’t just twitter, you as an independent developer, can’t step into any platform vendor’s territory, they will eventually take away your business.
