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 :/

The countdown comes to an end! A brand new #pixelart time-lapse featuring Revali and Teba is now available!

And I could do with hashtag following; last I checked, not a thing
@fu @Big_Diggity I just wish they'll fix it up. It is buggy and out of date.
@Big_Diggity @big_diggity It's the oldest distro still alive! Last I heard.
No, social.librem.one runs Mastodon, just a really out-of-date Mastodon version last I checked. I have been wanting to switch, but I want to keep my posts. And I want a server that is both non- mega leftist and not blocked by most leftist servers. I like being able to connect with many servers 😄
@big_diggity Slackware was an adventure.
@ozone89 I don't remember where I saw it — I think it may have been in a restoration video by #the8bitguy.

Intel investigating leak of Intel Boot Guard private keys after MSI breach
Annnnnnnnnnnnnd there goes a UEFI security setback.
Intel's Boot Guard has been made effectively useless. With the key leak, threat actors can sign malicious firmware so it's "valid."
@TheAlexHernandez Ohmygosh does everything have to 'collect data'!?
@ozone89 @NanoRaptor That was a thing, at least in one instance. There was an upgrade for a certain old computer where you would stack a chip to get support for both uppercase & lowercase letters instead of just one of them (uppercase probably).
@Gargron
@fdroidorg I was thinking about why this post showed up in my timeline. Did you boost your own reply? Then I remembered that if someone I follow replies to someone else I follow, I see the post. Now I've learned something new about that #Mastodon design decision: it is a good way to broudcast something to a particular group, without making *all* your followers have to see it. And all while staying algorithm-free. Cool!

I see a lot of people believe there is no way to have #privacy online. Corporations have pushed so hard that many are persuaded and disillusioned.
Privacy-compliant alternative software exists and it's up to you to choose and promote it.
Tracking tools are not required but wanted technologies: it is not something inevitable inside a software.
When you see it that way, your approach to software change and you will also learn to love #ethical software as you know how to appreciate organic food.
@feditips
@FediGarden Neat! Wondering – when you (and others, for that matter) don't permit homophobia, are you not permitting the *fear* of it (phobia)? Or are you not allowing people to say they believe homosexuality is wrong? Or is it the hate of homosexuals that is the thing being forbidden.
Just have to vent a bit. The #GoogleMaps app has the most frustrating interface I have ever used.
It makes no sense at all. What kind of #UI paradigm is it using!? The back button doesn't even always take you back! The whole interface keeps on assuming what I want and getting in the way.
@mike This is definitely the sort of mistake I would make.
@randulo I want the Twitter trolls to stay over there :)
