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 :/

@pixelherodev@fosstodon.org @foura I find that having the initrd separate is nice. When I update my system, sometimes the initrd gets rebuilt. I guess the general principle of creating software in separate modules applies here. If the initrd is changed in an update, you don't also have to download the kernel with it, for example.

Gotta #confess...
I miss the sounds of hard disks clicking.
It was such great auditory feedback regarding your computer's state, and it was so great to HEAR your computer working.
Haven't had one as a primary/boot disk since 2014 or earlier.
Of course, they were pretty quiet by then.
I don't miss my screaming 20MB miniscribe so much.
Well... maybe even that one. X"-D

@pixelherodev@fosstodon.org Does the FS ÿÿÿÿou use not have journaling (or comparable)?
@allinone0@fosstodon.org It's ok.
@allinone0@fosstodon.org Hey – if you spell the f word correctly, then my content filter can catch it, so I don't have to see it. I find posts with them bothersome :(
@MKUltralow That's me but when the site says 'by continuing, you agree to [whatever]'
@andrew@f40c40.com I see this post, so it looks like it works on my end (Mastodon); do you see this reply?
@RL_Dane I have used it before, it has great function :) but firewalling it off is a good idea
Small very 😒
It has text correction, unlike many F-droid keyboards (that I tried).
@RL_Dane OpenBoard (on F-droid) has an emoticon selector, though only with a small very selection. OpenBoard is my favorite open-source keyboard I've tried so far.

Every so often I feel drawn to my #DEC #vt510 terminal. Tonight I've spent an hour or so reading email and browsing the web (yes, with #eww) on it. Despite, or perhaps /because/, its limitations, something about it seems familiar and comfortable.
And I'm writing this toot using the #cli program called #toot, from my amber 80x25 screen on a vt510 that's nearly 30 years old. toot reminds me of IRC in a way, and I think that's a good thing.
@RL_Dane It bothers me how arbitrary emoji can be. I think there are too many of them, and some emoji seem "political" 😠
I wish that the only emoji that existed were the ones expressing emotion (like above).
@mike @cy@mstdn.io I also like using the DDG search engine to help split up my usage of Internet services.
@TerryHancock GNOME's Disk Usage Analyzer (baobab) works nice.

How often are you in the #Fediverse?
Please boost or share!
I think I'll never go back to KDE though, it is like impossible for me to focus while using it, I always go config crazy
(╯° □°） ╯︵ ┻━┻
@RL_Dane Heading to college, I'll probably switch back to a cool i3-like environment 😁

If you're starting a brand new account on a Fediverse server, it's not a good idea to post lots of content before you have followers.
The only people who can see your posts on the Fediverse are those on your server, those on other servers which have at least one person following you, or those who see your post shared.
If you post all your best content up front on a brand new account with no followers, no one outside your server will be able to see it. Even if they follow you later, the posts you made before that will not be visible to them, because Fedi platforms don't backfill old posts on accounts you follow.
It's much better to gradually add content as your follower numbers grow.
You only need one follower from a server in order for everyone on that server to see your post. Even if you only have a dozen followers, that's up to 12 other servers that can see what you post.
(Sorry for repost, I phrased original post really badly!)
