Was gonna post a pic, Friday night ya know? But Firefox Mobile won't let me login, and Firefox Focus won't let me post a pic... TECH SUPPORT!!
hey @gargron, I am giving a tour of Mastodon to my wife, and I explained to her that you are like Tom of MySpace.
A level of laziness that leads to a most impressive display.
@Mainebot This is a RPI 3 B+ with found objects for the top and bottom of the case. the brass standoffs were found on Amazon.
hey @oct2pus when I view your toots on your intance, I see a 'pinned' one about MC. I don't know how to reply to it from here, sorry!! Anyway, you ever heard of Minetest? (Free Software minecraft clone)
@Algot With that in mind, do you or anyone reading this know what protocol your mastodon.art uses to speak to me mastodon.club? I hope you enjoy my own humor :)
@Algot Hey Algot, thanks for your well crafted response to my follow. Rest assured, you are not my first follow. Apparently my follow count doesn't propagate across the fediverse. You might(?!) be able to see my other followers by visiting this resource with a client that speaks the "hyper text transport protocol (1.1) over transport layer security (1.2)" https://mastodon.club/@sebboh
Wow, this retro-computing service is both pre- and post- BBS era. http://irata.online/

@Mainebot Original RPI or fancy new one like the RPI 3 B+? All of 'em will support USB-dongle-based wireless keyboards/mice. Only some units have built-in Bluetooth, which you may find useful!
Well said, @ajroach42! After reading just a few toots in this series, I thought, wow, I have to invite this soul to one of the tildes. Oh, der, he already RUNS one. ;) https://retro.social/@ajroach42/99882571926573176
Kartik, regarding your big question... People DO learn to drive. And they DO learn to read and write. Finally, there is such a thing as a 'licensed mechanic'. Our society has recognized the power/autonomy a car grants individuals, and even legislated about the importance of proper maintenance. Now, tell us in your own words why computers are as important as literacy and mobility!

If you're in the US and upset about the FCC's proposal to repeal #NetNeutrality regulations, here's what you can do:
1) Call the FCC and your Congresspeople. The FCC may have made up its mind, but your reps may not have. Use the scripts at http://5calls.org
2) If calling is too stressful (that's totally fine!), https://resistbot.io/ lets you send faxes / emails. Way less pressure.
We have to fight this.
This is an article about #Gopher, a service that existed on the internet before the web. It’s also an article about how the web is broken, and some speculation on how Gopher might fix that.
If you've got a gopher client, the markdown version is here: gopher://ofmanytrades.com//Me/Blog/2017-11-21-gopher-remembering-the-web-that-wasn-t.md
Hey @ajroach42 I dig your Gopher post!
hey @carlchenet, thanks for your Github Threat post!
Gitlab FTW!
@thurloat It's working today. :) Thanks!
@allan There are seagulls in eastern Nebraska, USA. If you want to see them, visit the Sarpy County landfill. True story!
