@flockingbird also, the people looking for a LinkedIn alternative will align with those avoiding github for the same Microsoft reason.

@flockingbird after Microsoft bought github, many people dropped their account or refuse to access it if they have one. The people using sourcehut or codeberg would much more likely be in that set.

As noted in the other thread, if discoverability is the concern, then following the Linux model might make sense (with pointers/direction to the official non-gh instance).

@dthompson better than the bad old days pre-vm where one would brick their main development machine

@dthompson I find these heat the person well without needing to heat the entire space. Definitely use passive where possible, but sometimes that's not enough and this can fill those gaps

@Gina @ShinIce wonder if it's worth the effort to create a browser extension to automatically redirect every reddit URL to /r/upliftingnews

@dthompson feels like somehow this year has bumped us onto the darkest timeline, so sadly this is not really a surprise

@mhoye @jfred JMP.chat is an SMS service (bridge to xmpp) that can be scripted using sendxmpp and I use it for notifications from home camera. There might be something similar for matrix, too

@dthompson I hope your optimism ends up being warranted

I'm having a tough time navigating the contrast between the the number of new Covid cases in Ontario, population 14.7M, in the last day - 700 - with the number of new covid cases in Vietnam, population 95M, over the last MONTH, that being... 30.

@dthompson at first I thought @cwebber@octodon.social but then reconsidered at they seem more effective and grounded...

Hello! Looking for hardware for measuring indoor air quality 💨 🏠 💨 One of our housemates has allergies we're trying to track down... Hardware must detect:
- particulate matter (e.g. PM 2.5 & 10)
- volatile organic compounds (specifically wood volatiles like turpentine)

Should be as open as possible and 'affordable'. Temp. & humidity nice bonus, but not necessary. Does not need to be turn-key/can be for nerds 🤓
