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 :/

When you work on a big work of creativity, it can be very difficult for you. But if 1,000 people play your game, is it worth it? "If 1,000 people play your game, the resulting impact is 1,000 times greater than your hardship."

I have my college courses color-coded now, for my notebook binder tabs, school app, and color pens + planner. Nice for the brain
How many times do you get an idea, just for it to die before it begins? High-quality work is ideal, but a poorly done work of creativity is better than none at all!

Wow! @ivory on the front page of the AppStore. Apple really on team mastodon. Love to see this!
When Jesus said that we should always forgive, even if the offense is repeated, he knew that Christians soon and hundreds of years in the future would be asking forgiveness of him, even daily of the same sins over and over again. The parable of the unforgiving servant follows in Matthew 18. Changes how the passage feels to me. #microSermon :D

It's my birthday 
"Too often we attack cultural challenges with a spirit of misplaced certainty. We feel like we know what’s wrong, and we know how to fix it, and when we know we’re right, opposition is frustrating at best and infuriating at worst. The more certain we are, the more likely we are to view opponents not just as wrong, but evil. Do they not want to solve our crises?" - David French
Remember that by far, most people aren't out with the intent to destroy good.
Something to think about

Thunderbird crashed again on me... [insert rant here]

@mhoye I'd say sponge, pv, ts, and vipe. All these except pv are "moreutils".
Sponge buffers stdin, writing it to stdout or a file on EOF. Neat for overwriting a file in-place. E.g. `shuf file | sponge file`
Pv is like cat, but with a "progress bar". E.g. `pv file | nc ...`
Ts is like cat but it timestamps each line. E.g. `ts >> diary`
Vipe is like cat, but it lets you text-edit data as it flows through. E.g. `vipe > somefifo`

It appears that there was an issue on an instance from Ukraine. While the power was out, accounts were created to troll users.
Just a quick reminder that you should not accept every follower just because they want to follow you. Take that extra step to check out their profile. Check their followers count. Be diligent. Be safe. But, have fun!
I was backing up my computer, copying a bunch of files off a USB drive, and had a torrent open (with download complete though)
#swaywm crashed again on me. I lost my session again
