Poor Camacho gets shit for being thick, but when the world’s smartest man turned up he asked his advice gave him a job. Eventually.

Oh man, Harambe even died in the good timeline?

gets sick out sadly

He just blue himself.

I’ve been on there two years now, so 🤷🏽‍♀️

Meanwhile, I’m technologically thick as shit and have no trouble using Mastodon at all. If I know someone is on there I’ll find their profile and follow them. Done.

It ain’t that complicated.

Odds on he went into the office at 18:30 to take a photo of how empty it was so he post on LinkedIn about what a grinder he is.

Also; tribalism.

Did you switch to it from Android or iOS? Because as someone who’s only used iOS since 2010, I imagine it’ll be one hell of a shock.

I’ve take to using yt-dlp to download things I want to watch to a Plex folder, just so I can watch on Apple TV without having to tolerate a barrage of cunty adverts.

It’s kind of a pain, but it does mean that I’m spending far less time idly scrolling through YouTube.

I’m currently in a weird thing with Apple. I’ve been using Macs since ‘07 and iPhones since ‘10, and while they make absolutely incredible hardware, I’m sick of how much they rip off their customers, and I’m sick of being able to see the ways in which they adapt software to push you towards the thing that makes them the most money.

As a result I have an M2 MacBook which is the best laptop I’ve ever owned, and I’m close to putting Asahi on it to see if I can use that flavour of Linux as a daily driver. Come February, when my iPhone 13 mini is due for upgrade, I’m giving serious consideration to picking up a used Pixel 8 so I can use Graphene instead.

On the other hand, there’s nothing you can do anyway, so the only option is to let them burn.

Hey, at least it won’t be fodder for [email protected].

Is it yelp.com?

Cool, you crack on using Twitter then.

I have no strawman. I had a wickerman, but, well, it’s awkward.

It’s not that weird, given that they’re both examples of Fediverse software that can (in theory, though not well in practice) interact with each other.

As for Masto being separate instances; I’ve never really had a problem with that. Follow a bunch of people from different servers and you’ll soon begin to federate and link up with other people.

I see folks posting on Mastodon, griping that it’s failing, that it’ll never be as popular as Bluesky and Threads because of X and Y, and I’m like, I’m over there chatting to people all day, having a fine time, following new people, picking up new followers, and generally enjoying it more than I ever really enjoyed Twitter.

I don’t really understand why those folks want it to be more than it is.

“Oh, but there are no journalists!”

Good? I don’t want endless ragebait posted in my feeds. I just wanna be chill, share music recommendations, and enjoy more people interacting with my radio show than ever did on Twitter.

I think you mean Jeb!

True. In the grand tradition of the internet I only responded to the headline.

More users that aren’t Americans talking about their politics would be nice.
