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 :/

https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/fediverse-explainer-1.6905837 has a quick, mostly accurate explainer on the Fediverse.

One of the worst parts about misattributed quotes is that they undermine the idea of objective truth.
Nelson Mandela never said that. He said a lot of important things, but that's not something that he said.
Saying that he did say it, just because it feels nice, is obscuring the real world to make a digitally-structured one of our own liking.
Things aren't true just because they feel truthy.
@IslandUsurper We're using OoT from Nintendo Switch Online.

Everyone, I have an idea:
We should create a global holiday:
Backup Day. Everyone gets a day off to stay at home and make sure that all important files are backed up. At the end of the day you have a family dinner and share a scary data loss story to scare the kids
@Mastodon @MastodonEngineering That's great!
@wervice Gedit lol
@kyle Well then it's time to make a giant weaving robot. We'll be waiting to see your Loomba.
@housepanther@mstdn.goblackcat.com @256 Yep, according to the alt text
So far, we have beaten the Deku Tree part of the game. As I expected, this game is challenging (especially given its age), and I love that.
When it is my turn to play, I have been careful to avoid a game over, and so far we haven't gotten one. I got to fight the boss in the Deku Tree.
Started playing #LegendOfZelda #OcarinaOfTime with my sister and younger brother yesterday. Super excited to finally get to experience this famous game.
For a 1998 game (we're playing the #Nintendo64 version), it is surprisingly polished graphically. Based on the screenshots I have seen, I expected something less, but wow.
@CM30 I'm reminded of old Roblox LOL
Neat, #TheChosen is exempted from the Screen Actors Guild strike

Wait, calling it "duck tape" is actually correct and not just a branding thing?

@kyle If it moves and it shouldn't, use duct tape. If it doesn't move and it should, use WD-40. So I've heard lol

@royal Maybe nowadays, but when I first tried Linux - Ubuntu - it was so bad I went back to Windows. Back in those Unity desktop environment days it was so janky that Windows was literally better (though this was before I was as aware of privacy and independence issues in tech). Modern Ubuntu (and Linux in general!) is much better than Windows now, IMO. Compatibility aside.
