Babe are you ok? You’ve barely batched your >1000 RPCs

It feels like the goal of the past 20+ years if distributed computing should have been to move the base abstraction away from “server”.

Do we need a "which lasts longer, Twitter or this head of lettuce" tracker at this point?

Hello #OpenSource world! This is OSI's official home in the #Fediverse

It occurred to us that we never did an #introduction - and we've been here a whole 24 hours. We're #RaspberryPi. We're from #Cambridge, UK, where we design and make tiny #computers and #microprocessors. We've sold more than 50 million of our computers in the last ten years: you'll find them everywhere from hackspaces and schools to the #ISS, tracking penguins on glaciers and automating factories.

So far we're really liking it here.

Love the idea that @Raspberry_Pi account is hosted on its own instance running on a Raspberry Pi.

Amazing chart on the growth of Mastodon.

Every Mastodon explanation is like "It's very simple, your account is part of a kerflunk, and each kerflunk can talk to each other as part of a bumblurt. At the moment everyone you flurgle can see your bloops but only people IN your kerflunk can quark your nerps. Kinda like email."

Did you know that the European Union had an official Mastodon instance where only official EU institutions could open an account?

No need to pay for a blue checkmark, accounts on this instance are, by definition, officials.

That’s Fediverse done right!

Remember this picture every single time you hear someone in your city say "we're not Amsterdam." This was #Amsterdam in the 1970's. The cities we admire made better choices regarding cars, and are still making them today.

Better choices instead of excuses.

Perhaps it's time to start calling "Elon's Folly".

The thing about music made between 1950-2000 is that it offended parents.

Parents were outraged by Elvis Presley, The Beatles, AC/DC, Eminem.

I'm a parent now. Rather than being offended by new music, I'm offended it doesn't offend me.
