I am setting up a simple redirect for this account as I can't seem to 'migrate my account'.
For those who are already following me, you will have to manually 'unfollow' this account and follow my new account.
Migrate to: @ProfessorCode
Looking forward to seeing you on the other side. ๐
Unfortunately, the account migration feature isn't working for some reason. I have created an alias for it on the new account but it still doesn't work. ๐
Moving to @ProfessorCode.
I just realized how far behind Librem Social is lagging in terms of updates. It's currently using a really old release of Mastodon (v3.1.1).
@purism What's happening? This server hasn't been updated in over two years. ๐คฏ This may explain certain 'hiccups' I have while using the service.
Right now, I would tell Librem Social users to move to a different server and to not recommend it to others. If you are looking for a server, you can go to https://joinmastodon.org.
For anyone who is interested, please check out my latest PyWeek entry for which the theme was 'The Red Planet'.

I ran into a couple of issues, which I have highlighted there, but I would still appreciate any feedback I can get.
You can also see my previous entry for the last PyWeek.
@sudo Thanks! I don't spot hoverflies a lot, so I try to give them a bit of attention when I see them.
I don't have a mobile phone because I don't enjoy the idea of being contactable when I'm not at my desk or within earshot of my landline. I don't want the intrusion or the distraction of anticipating intrusion when gardening, walking, cycling, etc. I don't enjoy the idea of contributing to demand for battery production or embracing the hardware churn that the mobile industry is anchored around
I read a couple of articles about the dangers of #ChatControl. This article by the Register makes a really strong case by demonstrating the technical, legal and practical shortcomings of such proposals.

Read it and then share it around. If you live in the EU, don't forget to give feedback.
โ There's a few more days to tell the EU that you don't want #chatcontrol
