Just heard about Hive Social. Why would people go to yet another proprietary closed source platform? Have they learned nothing?

Oh yeah Twitter… that place I go to find people’s mastodon addresses.

The craft on the left IS Earth (mined and manufactured materials from Earth, by Earth as homo sapiens, and its creativity like a base 2 numbering system on which computers are based.)

The planet is looking at itself. We are some of its eyes and mind. Its reach outward is extended in this moment, like all moments when satelites and rovers visit other parts of the Sol system.

Remember this humbly the next time you feel without purpose. See, extend, Be Earth. You are much more than a body.

Every time I re-watch and see the episode where Rory gets a blue G3 , I feel so much envy but also joy.

Imagine getting a computer as a gift? And that one to boot? I would have screamed haha yaaaasssssss. That's amazing!

But one day about 7 years after cool coloured iBooks had come and gone, I found a nice tangerine iBook on eBay, and have loved every second of its use since for writing, some graphics, and listening to CDs. Such a cool gorgeous !

Today is #TransDayofRemembrance when we honor and remember trans lives taken by violence. How horrifying that a deadly attack upon the LGBTQ+ community in Colorado Springs should occur right before this solemn day.
Hate isn’t born in us. It is taught. It must end.
This starts with our political leaders, who must cease their cynical attacks against our community before another attack occurs.
Call out the hate. Remind them of its consequences. Hold them to account.

Remembering and one of the many memories. 😭🕯

We're all an emergence of stars in the cosmos. Attacking us is a ridiculous useless stupidity. It's like kicking the side of a mountain while the planet's plates and volcanoes keep producing more, or spooning the pacific ocean into a coffee mug only to have it evaporate and rain back down.

Diversity is a property of all Life. human beings are born every day. We are not...going...anywhere!!!

I did some more work on #DOStodon, the #Mastodon client for #MSDOS.

I added a splash screen, a busy indicator for network access, you can scroll the entries now, there is a profile viewer and you can like and boost.
Image attachments are now displayed, too.

Mastodon Day

Friday November 18, 2022 - An Incredible Day In Internet History

You were here.

It started with the Twitter lockout. 10,000 new users an hour. Almost a quarter million migrated to Mastodon in one day. The servers struggled. Remarkably, admins all over the world built up capacity in real time. New users were patient. The system held.

It's running better now. There will be more hard days ahead, but people powered social media has arrived.

The Drake Cutter is my new favourite small-sized ship. It's like the big Jeep Wrangler of space. :D

It's super interesting inside and out, and is a feast on the senses with all the moving switches, buttons, sounds and other fun role-play elements like a bathroom, bed, reading light, storage, closet and cargo bay.

And best of all? It can carry a Nox! The funnest bucking hover-horse in the game XD.

French authorities declare the use of Microsoft Office and Google Docs illegal in schools and education markets, as they don’t follow GDPR and might disturb later competition by making students used to these proprietary solutions.

3 years ago I volunteered to create a new edition of Ethan Winer’s 1990s BASIC programming book using LibreOffice (@libreoffice). Over the span of a year, with Ethan’s editorial input, I rebuilt the book layout from TXT sources in , and recreated all diagrams from scratch using , and . It turned out great!
