@nina_kali_nina@tech.lgbt when I was just starting to use the internet as a kid, it was gchat. So many good conversations happened in the panel on the left of Gmail, and the status icons made it all possible. I know that descended from a long line of other online chat systems. I was really sad when gchat was phased out, and my friends and I had to develop new communication habits together.
You make a good point about the assumption that everyone is online. The closest thing I have to statuses these days is in Slack, but those feel less trustworthy in terms of auto-updating, and since push notifications are sent anyways they don't serve much of a purpose.
Hey @CoMaps@floss.social, it looks like your Mastodon link on Open Collective is incorrect, pointing to fosstodon.org rather than floss.social.

I highly recommend this post from my dad on strategies to maintain a minimalist lifestyle. Unintuitively, it takes work to keep one's possessions to a minimum.

State of the Map US is next week and instead of finishing my slides I am making fun buttons. Come find me at the conference and you too can have a fun button!

@sharkey@sharkey.team marvelous. Thanks for your hard work!
Oof, I have been so sick these last few days. Hoping I wake up feeling better tomorrow.
Friends in the U.S.: friendly reminder to never talk to police. If approached by law enforcement, clearly assert your right to remain silent. No polite "if it's alright" or "I'd prefer" or whatever. Anything you say, even if you are 100% innocent, can implicate you in court. Doesn't matter if you care deeply about the case because it involves you or a loved one. Doesn't matter if you have the best alibi ever. You have the right to keep your mouth shut, and you have the right to a lawyer. Assert those rights, and then shut up.
@skye@toot.cat ah, sorry for the trouble and fuck YouTube. Does this link work for you? If it doesn't, I'll upload it to one of my own servers.

@mhoye the five guys, then, are guy zero, guy one, ... guy four?
@skye@toot.cat You might enjoy this video from Wendell of Level1Techs about the "Forbidden Router." Lots of content on their forums about similar setups, and how to navigate their complexities.

Big update: The Internet Archive has launched a new version of GifCities, the search engine for vintage GeoCities GIFs. It's now easier to explore the glitter, chaos, and charm of early web animation.
Search better. Share better. Blink more.
