@nolan Good thing fediverse doesn't live or die based on business case, and IMO it's better if it *doesn't* become the everything-to-everyone social network, from both a technical and community scaling perspective.

@cnx @giffengrabber qoto.org seems great to but haven’t been there so I can’t tell

@giffengrabber, as for the criteria, I looked for federation (with both sides of the political spectrum), size (not too many users for effective administration but not too few so that local timeline is still interesting) and technology (no cloud flare, yes glitch for markdown composition).

@giffengrabber, I’d suggest koyu.space, where we store our @cheeses
Question to my followers:
Which is the best Mastodon instance out there?
Asking for my English-speaking friends – as for me, I really really like it here at Mastodon.se
Please boost this toot!

And when I reminisce over Ronny James Dio, of course I have this tune playing in my head:

I.e. the inexpugnable “Holy Diver” from 1983.

Let’s all take a moment to reminisce over Ronny James Dio 🖤🤘🖤

When I learned to program I did tons of scribbling on pen and paper. I wonder if that’s par of the course, or if people somehow manage to fit all that stuff in their heads without effort?
What’s your experience?
To be honest, and with all respect to patio11, this is too dry even for me 🙂

On of the Slack communities I frequent has a large chunk of it’s members living on the US west coast. A bit frustrating since they all are asleep now 🙂
Stuff like this is why I love Unix:

If you don’t see the power and beauty in that solution, you might never love or understand Unix.
Composability – it’s like magic.

Creative Commons is now in on the NFT scam. The tech industry has really lost any moral compass it may still have had. (via https://twitter.com/davidgerard/status/1463950773570654218?s=21)

New here? Remember that Twitter is optimized to make you into passive consumers, by en(r/g)aging you with content that you don't choose yourself.
Here, that doesn't happen. But it also means you're responsible to find people to follow.
It will take some work.
If you're willing to put that in, you'll find a wide variety of friendly people that will be happy to have meaningful conversions and laugh and cry together with you.
Start by searching and looking at who other people follow.

Western Digital drives seem to require Windows to update firmware. Even though they could provide transparent updates via https://fwupd.org/
I've learned some of mine have dangerous firmware bugs.
I've posted on WD forums and filed a support ticket for this.
Maybe if enough people are a PITA about this to them, they'll finally do something about it.

I wonder what datacenters do...
