People keep sending me Instagram links to their artwork and events. I can't see any of it without an account and logging in. I don't think a lot of people realise how much they lock in their content behind walls.

Or why they feel a need to.

every year i sacrifice a few pieces of tupperware to the adhd gods

The interesting thing about capitalism is that it’s entirely incompatible with the future, so we’ve just decided to get rid of the future and keep capitalism

This is only going to work for a short while imo

Box birb incoming!

#TIL that the #Debian team has put some considerable effort to deploying federated services: https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/DebianSocial

Nice initiative! Especially for the instances of services you don't see quite often around like Matrix, Jitsi, Plume.

Long life the #fediverse!

Do cats have an internal monologue? Is it all "meow meow meow"?

the power of potatoes is hard to resist

A warning about FeelGood Contacts (feelgoodcontacts.ie) if you’re in Ireland and wear contact lenses: do NOT turn on their “auto-replenish” feature.

Just got a notification that they were about to charge me €148.05 for two 90-day boxes of lenses. That felt steep. So I opened an incognito browser and checked their site via an ad on Google. Lo and behold, I was offered 30-day boxes at €19.20 (so €115.20 for the equivalent amount… or €32.85 cheaper).

Goodness I fucking hate capitalism.

The next time I have a talk about privacy with someone, and I get the classic "I have nothing to hide" talking point, I'm just gonna straight up ask for their email password.

I'll do it.

Ok, just setup an RSS reader account as a beginner and created some folders and learned how to add/delete feeds

Please Tell Me your favorite blogs/feeds that you follow (boosts appreciated)

My main interests are news/politics/history, books (sci fi and much more), photography, film, art, sewing, cooking/recipes, random eccentricities/ hobbyists, social commentators, and in general interesting people/places/concepts/writing

It is certainly degrees Celcius today

Here's a visual aid

So, in short, I just want to say hello to those interesting in what I'm trying to develop here (I'm surprised no one has even tried to create a Fediverse Tumblr clone (that I've found, at least) before I started this work).

And I hope to be able to share the excitement I have about what's being done with you all, along the way.

Right now, pretty much all federated social media sites are open-source and we have a real opportunity to set the tone of the future of this space. That's incredible.

How to survive the global heatwave.

Authoritarian systems are committed to making people's lives worse. No, not metaphorically, literally, authoritarians make people's lives worse, because people under great deals of stress, who can't get their needs met, are more likely to seek out systems of authority to hitch themselves to, to get those needs met.

A year ago this weekend, I decided to start a YouTube, and I registered the Veronica Explains channel. I was looking for Linux creators who weren't dudes, and when I couldn't find many, I decided to jump in.

If you'd have told me a year later I'd have over 15k YouTube subs, and a growing PeerTube community, I wouldn't have believed it.

Thanks, all. <3
