@PedestrianError @danhon none of these announcements should have been disseminated through a proprietary platform anyways. Public announcements should use public infrastructure.

Spent the day with my youngest daughter mountain biking. Th first time since I cracked my rib and her first time riding a mtb trail. We both had a good time and it feels good to be alive. "Remember today little brother, for today life is good!". Returning home for a hot shower and bed.

Microsoft wants to stream your OS to you. Ignoring the whole "Microsoft" angle on this, I personally hate this idea. I miss the days when a computer was a standalone device that COULD connect to the Internet, but didn't have to. These days, so many things DEPEND on having that connection, and just flat out won't work without it. Maybe I'm a stodgy old guy, but can't we go back? I want my computer to with exactly the same online or offline.

Since we had a bit of a @lurk outage last night, and since @pixelfed just rolled out their shiny and new Instagram Import feature, I took the opportunity to test run it.

Amazing: the whole process was smooth and easy. There are some limitations, of course: you need to manually select which pictures to import, and there's a top limit of 1000 images - but a couple of hours later, I had just over 750 IG posts from between 2013 and 2023 up on my pixelfed account:

Magic! So thank you, @pixelfed, for doing the hard work and making life so easy for us. Also, thanks to @NGIZero for funding the development of this.
