My switch from macOS to Linux
Why did I switch, what I like about @gnome and a guide on how you can try Linux too

If you see a random poll, do you take the time to interact with it?
Boost to increase sample size.
Look, I understand that I can't stop you from claiming a cartoon frog is a Nazi, but if you're going to do that, could you at least recognize that there's more than one cartoon frog?

think about it: someone is like "huh i wonder why my file needs to be on a specific server, can not just everybody have my file and give it to each other?"
and a week later they're talking about Merkle trees, DHTs, zk-SNARKs and s-boxes. the cruelty is the point.

Linux is highly user friendly, it is just highly selective who it is friends with. I’ve been using vim for the past 3 years. Mainly because I have no idea how to exit it.

*whispers* most people don't care about decentralization and governance models, they just want someplace to hang out that's not a hassle.

seeing folk refer to "the original Mastodon app for "
my froods, the original Mastodon apps were all third-party. the "official" Mastodon apps are recent and not feature complete.
look around the ecosystem a bit - the "official" stuff your brain seeks is centralization talking. we roll differently over here.
Seen: "The YIMBY Weebs, Steelmanned"
I'd just like to appreciate this masterful tower of jargon.
I, of course, am the kind of clown that installs Lineage+MicroG and uses F-droid first, but no one will sell me a phone configured that way.
Further thoughts on the Musk Phone:
Has anyone made an Android fork that wasn't locked to the Google Play store and even bothered to support it for a few years?
I think Amazon was going to have their own app store. How's that going.
There's a Chinese fork, I think. How's that?

Having run my own test mastodon server, I can tell you that boosting is REALLY important. That's how posts propagate between servers that are not federated together.
I may get a bit technical, and it can be hard to describe but it's something like this:
Let's say that you have 2 servers, A and B that are not connected. They have their own federated timelines that is vastly different.
let's assume they have their users @a@A and @b@B that are mutuals. If user @a@A sees something interesting on theirs federated timeline and boosts it, user @b@B will see that on their own home page. But more importantly server B will now know about and download that post, and everyone else on B server will be able to see that post on their own federated timeline!
And that's why you boost, guys! It helps posts to spread.

HOT OLDER MEN in YOUR AREA want to know if YOU have been TOUCHING the THERMOSTAT.
Getting pretty sick of takes like: Elon Musk posted a meme, this is clearly the deepest his thought goes on the subject. This is why his takeover of Twitter is about me.
Get a grip.
