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 :/

Oh, today is my 8th anniversary of working on Mastodon. I was 23 when I started, finishing my last year of university, still living at my parent's place. I had no idea what I was getting myself into or that it would consume the next 8 years of my life almost completely.

With a bit of help from #phoc the next phosh-osk-stub release can (optionally) hide when a keyboard gets attached.
@agx Thinking to include little features like this are one of the main ways I judge the quality of software. Neat job!
@256 Hmm, do you follow @NanoRaptor ?
@royal Yeah they're not bad, really.
@JoeRess I hear a lot of Linux people say to buy a Brother printer.
The next time someone will try to take over the world will be when a printer company makes a printer that actually works. All offices will instantly buy it to replace their printer-shaped objects they have for some reason and they instantly get rich

The Macintosh Two-Page Colour Classic was quite a handful. MacWorld Magazine described it as "Perfect for small business and people with two eyes, it's the most two-page two-screen colour classic we've seen. With its unique built-in double-degauss floppy disk eraser, it's also the most secure".

Reply with a swatch of the colour that just goes straight to your heart. Your fave hue, the best chroma vibe for your head.
@NanoRaptor Wow, that's what I would always call "computer purple" right there! Like, *exactly*. What a coincidence. Hex values?
I like using it as a temporary color in themes, like for e.g. boxes that appear when you drag-and-drop to show you where what you are dragging will land.
@system76 I screen hinge on top of the body instead of diagonally on the back, in 2024? That's awesome!
@ActionRetro Nah! I was running Haiku on my friend's Ryzen 9 build the other week. Very... smooth
@NanoRaptor b r u h you just keep cranking them out
@codrusofathens They have to take their social media profiles very seriously to do that.
First clip after the title. I can't believe it, he began the move *before* his opponent was below him... crazy. Few can think like that, last stock high percent, AND in finals, no less (I think it was finals).
Check it out. The best #SmashBros player at our #SSBU club was on #YeetSmash again. Clip 2! https://youtu.be/rT8_wBy_ghA
Taking a game by using a recovery move downwards to kill off the bottom of the stage... gutsy. (Carguy, Sephiroth)
@fribbledom Ah yes. Along with "lbs" et al

WaPo has a Mar. 6 story on its homepage that's a bit baffling. The headline is: Worried About the American Express data breach? [Checks notes: No]
I'm not aware of anyone who is worried, much less aware of a breach involving Amex. The story goes on to say Amex blamed a third party for exposing customer data.
But here's the thing: This kind of thing happens ALL. THE. TIME. It just so happens that Amex is somehow more willing to put out a breach notification than others when this does happen.
I know this because for a long time I used to read all of the breach disclosures coming out daily and indexed by the various state attorneys general offices. And a notice like this from Amex was a fairly regular occurrence.
Anyway, the story is about credit card fraud. But then the advice to "worried" consumers is to change their passwords and use 2FA.
