Hello there!
I boost a lot of posts, but I have a few things to say every now and then.
I am largely fine with boosting posts from people I disagree with even on significant, dividing issues. I usually don't, however, if they actively advocate for these ideas... so it goes :/

@feditips Honestly I wish it would show the whole name every time, only shortening consecutive times in the same post or thread. The way I view it, the server is part of the name; having the whole name would help me tell them apart across different posts etc. 🤷♂️
@tulpa@fosstodon.org Odd place to say that XD
computer: mind if i update my system
me: will it be quick

Definitely my favorite #supersmashbros trailer I've seen 🙂

Desiring less garbage has been a big motivator in my computing journey.

@pixelherodev@fosstodon.org Sounds like a dream OS, wow 😍
I have always thought the everything-as-a-file idea was neat, but underwhelming on Linux....
For me, Linux is about as good as I'll do; I ran Arch for a while but found I didn't want to do too much adminning, so I'd imagine that getting Plan9 running on my laptop.... and I'd want a full web browser and all. Maybe someday I could try dual-booting it 🤷
Thanks
@LinuxLounge Looks like a nice device, maybe my next phone if I can't get a Librem 5 USA... I just wish feature phones weren't associated with the elderly, you know? It's an annoying association, feature phones would be helpful to people.

Yo #Fedi folk,
What #Mastodon instance would you recommend to your mom? It's not for my mom, but for friends that aren't really the target demographic for @fosstodon (which I love).
Looking for something reasonably large (>9999 members), but family friendly, that blocks all the fringe political junk and NSFW.
@pixelherodev@fosstodon.org Interesting!
@allinone0@fosstodon.org A popular degree, must be good 👍
@allinone0@fosstodon.org Where's the cube option 🙃
@RL_Dane @allinone0@fosstodon.org Where's My Water was fun
@pixelherodev@fosstodon.org I only know a little about Plan9... why do you use it and what are its advantages? (Article links welcome)
We Are Robotic is pretty nice

Just had a question about this, thought it might be useful to answer as a post:
There are lots of different server types on the Fediverse, but they talk to each other using a common standard called ActivityPub.
This means you don't need to be on the same server type to interact.
For example, if you're on a Mastodon server you can have a conversation with someone on a Friendica server.
This works even when the server types are very different. People on Mastodon etc can like, comment and share videos from @peertube or follow livestreaming accounts on @owncast. (To see examples, take a look at @FediVideos)
This process is so seamless that you may not even be aware you're interacting with people from other server types. If you're a Mastodon user, try clicking on @bobfisherphoto and it will look like a Masto account, but it's actually a @pixelfed account. To see what an account "really" looks like, click on the avatar on its profile page.
Gotta love Mode 7
I have always wondered what a physical representation of a running computer program would look like; I guess things like this are about as close as I can get.
I've always wanted to see a Charles Babbage Analytical Engine running!
@256 Fun fact, if things had turned out differently, maybe Sony Vaio hardware would have come with Mac OS:
