Some fun facts about this guy:
* Started his Fediverse adventure on Lemmy. First on lemmy.ml but now on Beehaw.
* Regards the Fediverse a good "space" in which to try out micro-blogging again, after having left Twitter years ago (way before current affairs).
* Interested in: #computers, #FLOSS, #Linux, #science, #reading, listening to #music, drinking a bit too much #coffee.
* Lives in the Netherlands.
* Posts and boosts (mostly) in English and Dutch.
* Born in the mid-80s.
* #Bicycle #commuter.
* #Flexitarian
* He/him.
* Has selected "Nederlands" as language, but English and (to a lesser extent) German are fine.
My current banner is a cropped version of a wallpaper I found on Reddit years ago. Unfortunately I no longer have any idea to whom I should attribute it.
Profile picture:
Selfie of me sitting at a window with a light grey curtain, partially blocking the incoming daylight to prevent overexposure to the photograph. I am wearing my glasses and have my head slightly tilted while I am smiling with my front teeth bared.
Banner image:
A manipulated photograph of a magpie with the head of an orca that has opened its mouth fairly wide. Its wings are still folded alongside the body in a way actual birds would do when they sit on e.g. a fence post or branch.
"Ad blockers are unethical—ads are how they pay to keep the lights on!”
Exactly. It's how THEY pay to keep the lights on. It's not how I pay for anything. I didn't agree to see ads, although I'm ok with some ads; what I definitely didn't do is agree to be tracked and profiled and have arbitrary third-party code running on my computer just so I could read this awful, pointless, SEO-ified shitfest of an article that doesn't come close to answering the question I was googling.
Even though I absolutely love #Linux, sometimes I get tired of encountering the same issues over and over again, and of the "it's 99% there" situation.
Let me know if you agree with these issues or not, and if you have others that personally bother you.
(Also, 2nd video out of 4 that isn't edited by me, previous feedback has been incorporated partially, let me know what you thought!)
@moon@akiba.social I had them in there from another post and had not removed them (I did a few seconds after posting). Calckey leaves in hashtags from previous posts sometimes (if using the dedicated field for them instead of adding them in-line). Sorry for the inconvenience.
@moon@akiba.social Primarily the browser, although Milktea is okay if I am on my phone (Android).
Found these in an old book. Any idea what they are? Rationing stamps maybe?

@Alice@beige.party Did you mean the power cord for the computer? Yeah, that customer was being ridiculous.
I'm not saying we live in the dumbest timeline, but these are all recent headlines.
@Sustainable2050@mastodon.energy This week there has been nightly rain at least twice, at least in Limburg.
Thanks to everyone who reached out, fediDB.org and fediverse.info will remain online going forward.
I'm not going anywhere either, though I think I need a break from the fediverse for a few days.
I think this take on #Meta joining the #Fediverse is a very good one. We are going to be able to connect to people on Meta's platform, but we are not forced onto it.

@pork_slam@mastodon.social @dansup@mastodon.social He is only stating that two sites showing stats and (health of) available fedi servers is being ended. He is not leaving Pixelfed (AFAIK) and I doubt this has had anything to do with Meta. 🙂
The site fediverse.observer may be an alternative in many use cases, albeit that it looks less fancy.
@sub_o@mastodon.social May I ask what that hashtag is about?
@stux this is a bad move, from all sides
If FB / Meta wanted to sow distrust before the coming 2024 US election, then they have succeeded, by creating infighting between instances, so none of us can organize.
The classic move in chinese fiction, is when a dying rich person whisper a nothing burger to someone he hates, right in front of everyone, to let them murder each other.
This is the time when every instances should actually come together instead.All admins should sit down and talk.

@lackthought@mastodon.social For Lemmy there is Jerboa, for Kbin there is a third party app in the making called Kmoon (iirc). Jerboa is for Android, Kmoon for iOS.
@anathema_device@bne.social @chris@mstdn.chrisalemany.ca On LemmyNet there is e.g. Beehaw, which definitely does moderate well.
I have interacted with the threaded part of kbin.social but mostly from beehaw.org (while having lurked kbin to pick stuff to follow).
Kbin.social's microblogging accounts I should be able to follow from this account (calckey.social). If I were to interact mostly with people on Kbin for either of them I might make an account there but (for now) it does not really matter.
@thememesniper@wetdry.world Is this being a reference to the famous GNU/Linux meme/copypasta?
