Waiting for my account to be approved on awoo.chat took a good week and a half, but I guess it’s on me for trying to find an instance that caters to me (SFW-preferring furry)

Still waiting for a way to see other people’s posts when now one follows them yet

Personally I’ve noticed I’m taking more naps now which… It’s not really making me feel more productive but whatever

Genuinely kinda wonder why that keeps happening

I use two different pieces of art I made myself for my mobile and desktop devices respectively!

I don’t keep icons on my desktop, so contrast isn’t something I worry about, and I’m a sucker for colors :3

If you’re not re-burning the iso image to the drive then changes are it isn’t really writing to it, I think on live distros the source filesystem is RO

I’ll die before I let go of my 5 USB drives (yes I use them all)

What’s that phenomenon that describes noticing things more after you become aware of them because I’m seeing a lot more Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy references than I remember now that I’ve started reading it

So far I’ve been having a good time with Sober on Fedora (apart from semi-regular crashing but I’m willing to attribute that to my Gt 1030)

A lot of people have suggested writing by hand so I’ll consider doing that instead of my laptop then. Any advice on handwriting notes

Agreed, I’ve been trying to find a more complete clip

Wafrn has native integration with Bluesky???

I might make a Wafrn account earlier than I planned to that sounds sick

Fascinating. The concept of AP not actually being made to encourage decentralization isn’t something I had considered before, and you do have kind of a point

I don’t think see why you’d need a bluesky-hosted account for that. I think it’s just showing .bsky.social as placeholder since statistically, most people have their handle hosted on bluesky and a handle can look like any valid domain.

I’ll test it out once I figure out how to host my own PDS nwn

Ok yea I definitely should have asked this over there, sorry about that

I don’t really know the extent of their independence as there are at least 3 parts to how ATproto works and they can all be hosted independently (so for example, an “independent” instance might still rely on Bluesky for part if it’s functionality), however it is true that there’s quite a few ATproto services popping up!

I hadn’t considered Nostr up until now, might look into it further, seems interesting

To an extent. I can’t say I’m well-versed in how to make a successful social media platform but I think having a solid protocol underneath is essential. I’ve been bothered a couple of times by a Mastodon user with an empty account because nobody had followed them previously

embarrassed to admit I mix up which and witch, and have misspelled both as wich on occasion

Please do! I’m curious to hear about the specifics, mainly in how you set up administration (as Windows does have surprisingly good group admin tools)

Actually, for flatpaks specifically, even by the software manager it won’t ask for root privileges and go straight to installing
Check up on it, that’s my experience at least and I’ve got my own laptop running the latest version of Linux Mint. It could be some change in config you’ve done
