Ahhh, I really want to save up for a #EUC ! They look so cool and portable. I'd love to use it instead of my car to get groceries and stuff. Bikes are too cumbersome for me and walking is way too far where I live.
I think I'd also settle for non shitty public transit too. 🤪
Federated timelines in mastodon are cool in that they increase post visibility and increase the opportunities for finding people you wouldn't otherwise, but it also removes a lot of the social context of seeing people based on who you're following.
I find this often leads to people bumping heads due to a lack of shared context and making negative assumptions that lead to endless discourse instead of finding each other through positive and building mutual understanding.

SecureScuttlebutt ( #SSB ) is a great example of this where you see content from people you know or people that people you know know. This gives you the opportunity to listen to your intermediate connections for nuance rather than assuming whatever negative thing the post is coming off as.
Also makes room for moderation based on who you trust for moderation rather than only having the option of your instance moderators.
#p2p #ActivityStreams present a new dynamic for #moderation where interactions are opt-in based on your social network rather than entire servers.
It also means that instances moderating content could leave room for individuals to connect to people they feel they don't want moderated.
E.g. some folks draw the line at blatant racism and transphobia, some folks draw the line at not explicitly hating cops. Right now lines apply to entire communities, but it could be individuals.
Netflix’s definition of a “family” is the latest example of technology biases written by and for rich white men and their families, ignoring the needs of billions of people living in the real world — @pluralistic

God. Why do I curse myself with trying to use Linux?
I've wasted like 30 minutes just trying to get KMail to send my invoices over gmail. After hours fiddling before it managed to download emails, but now this shit has got me totally exasperated.
Do people not use gmail to send emails on KDE typically? How is the UX such shit?
Lol, #p2p #activitypub is like a trigger word activating my "infodump about databases" training.
Like my eyes just roll to the back of my head and I enter sicko mode. Really glad I wrote up that blog post so I can defer to it instead of flooding every single chat I'm in. :P
As Black and Brown queer, trans, & gender nonconforming folks, we often lack access to resources helping us thrive and maintain our well-being.
To accommodate folks looking for financial assistance, funds, fellowships, mental health, and other gender-affirming resources, we pulled together a recent and updated list of resources for our Resource Hub.
Our list of resources include funds, fellowships, grants, & other gender-affirming resources ✊🏽
I'm in hour 30 of a home internet outage (long story: my isp accidentally unplugged my cable uplink on monday and will replug it tomorrow) and it's been a while since I started using things in an offline mode.
Wow. So many things assume always-on connectivity these days. It's been an eye-opening experience.
There is very little graceful degradation of capabilities these days.
