Listening to ‘The Fediverse Experiment’

#introduction
I’m in North Scotland.

I work around energy & technology, usually at the point where the demo ends and reality begins. That’s where I’m most comfortable.

Outside of that, I like travel, films that reward a second viewing, and conversations that don’t rush to conclusions.

I’m mostly here to listen, occasionally to ask awkward questions, and very rarely to be convinced by a slide deck.

Also, a lot of snow recently. Here is our miniature Schnauzer desperate to get back indoors.

#Linux mavens, I need your help!

I’m an inveterate Apple user since 1979 … got my first Mac two weeks after release in 1984.

My studio runs on Mac, and that’s not going to change … but I would love a dedicated laptop to leap wholeheartedly into open source computing.

I’m looking for recommendations on hardware and distro, Linux-newbie friendly, future-compatible, powerful yet still affordable.

Don’t need Windows or Mac for this – I want to discover a new world. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Doh, Gandi renewed my domain earlier than I thought, so they charged me more than I would at another registrar. Better get this migration moving!

Was war eigentlich in der 39C3-Infrastructure-Review vom C3-Lingo-Team erwähnte Vortrag mit den 170(?)

Das klang ja eigentlich perfekt für Menschen mit leicht wandernder Aufmerksamkeit...

I am confused about if anyone will see this (and, separately, if there’s an app for this?) but anyway here’s what I was doing while listening to the Fediverse ep of Search Engine… home in London, making a dinner that ultimately contained too many beans for some of us to handle :/

Everyone does this differently, but what do you want a CW on, and/or a hashtag or keyword that your filter can catch? I assume SA, death, and politics are high on the list.

I keep watching people who used to write 10,000-word explorations of complex topics now produce dozens of disconnected fragments per day, each optimized for immediate engagement.

It's like watching someone who composed symphonies decide to only make ringtones.

I am not equipped to judge the quality or credibility of this investigation — but its claims sure do deserve attention. !! https://toad.social/@davetroy/115849511230107823

發現有許多人其實不太清楚所謂職業仲介的運作😂
在使用他們的服務前，我覺得首先應該要有一個認知，就是職業仲介的客人其實不是你，而是那些招聘的公司
要是你沒有通過面試或者找到心儀工作，仲介是一分錢都收不到的
因為都是從成功案例裡面抽錢
（當然在求職網上賣廣告的情況，那又是另一份錢）

當然我也知道很多職業仲介都很不專業，基本上都是亂丟工作給應徵者，或者完全不提供任何幫助，那就是另一回事
但如果對方盡了所有自己的職責，收不到一分錢還被說不專業，那就真的是太可憐了😂

An American Samoan family in Alaska has been accused of felony voter misconduct after voting in a local election in 2024. American Samoans are U.S. nationals—not citizens—and lack the right to vote. Each family member now faces up to 10 years in prison.

To be honest, I don’t think I should have to!

Version 0.4 of the proposed carbon.txt standard looks very suitable to be generated by a CMS! https://www.thegreenwebfoundation.org/news/carbontxt-v0-4/ Possibly a new Wagtail package coming up, to encourage sites and organizations to report on their carbon footprint / #sustainability efforts?

As promised, the #Caturday pics!

So, we started our workout regimen this week, first workout week of 2026. A stayed home to start on pilates. Seems as though Da Fonz was up for his New Year's resolution to lose weight and took over A's exercise mat to join in the pilates session. 🥵

Needless to say, his resolution lasted as long as his food lasts on his bowl. ​​

once again i was proven that the best way to debug a PC that doesn’t post is to forget about it for a year and plug it in again.

no clue why it runs again but i will take this as a win! \o/

Love Doug Gregor and I have nothing against him, but given what’s been happening with Swift Concurrency, this sounds like the worst timing to bring this principle up honestly.

It is a long-standing tradition for Microsoft to use a runtime copy of Windows as a part of Windows Setup. But the copy is so stripped-down, it cannot run anything but the setup program (winsetup.bin).

OR IS IT?

A mini-challenge for myself: create a semi-working desktop only based on runtime Windows 3.10 shipped with Windows 95 installer but not using any other Microsoft products.

Lots of nostalgic and weird screenshots in this 🧵 thread
