The default iPhone app and sign-up process for the main instance is pretty darn straight-forward. I’ve never been a Twitter guy so I can’t speak to functionality, but it seems fine to me already.

It’s really nice to see a normal person resisting fascism instead of just magical space wizards.

…or voted for Harris.

American political lexicon is stunted (probably deliberately). I volunteered my time and donated my money for Bernie’s campaign, and prefer to go by “progressive” since it hits the main points and has an actual caucus in Congress.

The conservatives I know call me a liberal (if they’re feeling nice), but they also know it’s not accurate, they’re just trying to sow chaos on the left.

Just solved an issue with transcoding where I had to delete the codec. It redownloads on server launch so was an easy fix.

Sports journalists in particular — so annoying that all breaking NFL news goes through Xitter.

It was the best of times, it was the blurst of times? You stupid monkey!

There’s been a rash of new accounts posting right-wing garbage the last few weeks. I just block them.

How do you get better at playing the guitar without actually playing the guitar?

(edit): Point taken, but “playing the guitar” still wins by a mile

What’s rough about it? I’ve never been a twitter guy so can’t really compare, but I have a Mastodon account that I pop into periodically, and it works fine.

His supporters are selling “I’m voting for the convicted felon” merch already. Wouldn’t have made a difference, man.

I’m vaguely hopeful that continuing to lose at the ballot box will de-motivate them enough for this current frothing at the mouth to die out.

While I agree with others pointing out the oddity of a portable server in general: this sounds like a great use-case for a laptop.

Built-in battery, wifi you can broadcast out as a hotspot, and it even has a display/keyboard/mouse for troubleshooting!

An older laptop with the optical drive stripped out could have a 2.5” 5TB HDD in addition to the boot drive for some decent mobile storage.

The 2011 MacBooks were still Intel. Mine’s an i7.

I just recently did this test on an old MacBook Pro 2011 and installed Windows 10, Pop, and macOS in succession. Windows ran like ass and Pop and macOS ran about the same (fine). Settled on Pop for better Steam compatibility. Trust me, Windows is uniquely bad.

macOS is a UNIX OS and is far better than Windows on resource management.

The people defending him were also bloodthirsty right-wing fanatics.

Probably by mixing bleach into their food.
