I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness, starving hysterical naked,

About to go on vacation and I updated our refurb Microsoft Surface with the latest Debian 13. WOW does this thing work well for a low powered device. Debian 12 seemed to have a lot of little issues with the Surface, such as not actually powering down properly, but Debian 13 seems to be functioning incredibly with the surface build.

So thank you to ANYONE that helped work on this #Debian build for the #Surface . It's so good and my kids are hopefully going to keep busy while we're traveling.

@JenJen@mastodon.art @welshpixie@mastodon.art absolutely gorgeous.

I just set up a reg donation to @iftas. The resources they make make me more comfortable running a instance. Makes me feel less alone in the process.

@JenJen@mastodon.art @aaribaud@mastodon.art RSI - really sexy images.

@badnetmask@hachyderm.io @logan@social.logal.dev I hear there are pills for that.

@JenJen@mastodon.art @feff@comicscamp.club that is NOT Husbeard. Why are you lieing Jen? Husbeard is a set of floating hands and in rare cases a luchador mask.

A reminder to #ActivityPub developers and advocates: applications for the NLNet Open Social Fund close on June 1st (#BrookeVibberDay) at noon CEST. You should apply; you are doing important work and we need you to keep doing it.

Just picked up Raccoin. I just love that game. Easily replayable, lots of fun sounds, flashy coins, creating different builds per run. Such a cute & fun game I just want to keep coming back to play. Because I had Balatro I think it was only like $10 and I've already spent a few hours in the demo and another few hours playing tonight.

I'm not at all into coin pusher games IRL, but this just hits the fun spot. HIGHLY recommend if you like trying to make crazy builds and want replayabilit in a game, but simple to learn mechanics. #game #gaming #coinPusher #steam #rogueLike

Trying to play Stone Shard and I have to remind myself, it's a Roguelike game. I'm going to die. Last run, I died, because I went in water and ran out of stamina and drowned. I was so pissed. Uninstalled. Went to the Steam page and was reminded ... ROGUELIKE. Ok. So I learned. That's the point. Learn and move on to the next one.

@ety@hive.institute @synduckate@lgbtqia.space love to see something like that overtake standard RSS. Click it and get RSS or Fedi. 😁

Messing around today trying to make a #freestreamers icon.

Strongly based off of @eudaimon 's Fedigram.

* Radiating waves from an internal well-connected node representing a broadcast from somewhere within fedi.

* The waves hit some other nodes on fedi, but 'escape' to the outside world, too.

* The waves are red to match the source of the broadcast, but is also the color often associated with being 'on-air.'

* Logo tilted upwards, like a terrestrial satellite dish.

Boost for feedback? ❤️

@cleanduck@mastodon.social I've been a FOSS, now FFOSS, advocate for about 20 years. So I attempt to do everything with FOSS already. Really the only thing I use that isn't foss, is probably Steam. I honestly think it'd be possible to make a game store where you can hook in ActivityPub, kind of like AltStore is doing for mobile app stores. But I know that's a MASSIVE undertaking and a LOT smarter people than me have failed at an online store. 😁

But Emissary could make it possible. As I said there's bandwagon.fm which allows musicians to create their own stores for their music.

@cleanduck@mastodon.social @TheLegendOfThrill@mastodon.online

Thank you. 😊 I'm assuming you've seen my other show, Fireside Fedi? If not, there are TONS of folks I've spoken to, including THE @Mrfunkedude@beige.party . Funk might be the most important person I've spoken to. But there are others, like Evan Prodromou, Cory Doctorow, a weather entity, etc. 😁

Sorry to spam everyone. I always forget.

If you want to follow WOMML you can just follow @ozoned@worksonmymachine.live to know when it goes live. It also shows a calendar (when I have something scheduled) that you can follow @when@freestreamers.btfree.org .

Or check out the VODs at @ozoned@tubefree.org .

Tube Free is my Peertube platform I started through my Public Charity @btfree@btfree.org to help find anyway I can to help promote the Fediverse and FFOSS ( federated free and open source )

@cleanduck@mastodon.social @TheLegendOfThrill@mastodon.online @Mrfunkedude@beige.party

If folks would like links to anything as well, let me know. My primary goal isn't to have all the answers. it's to help folks find communities that fit them. 😊

No one can do everything. Together, we can do anything.

@cleanduck@mastodon.social @Mrfunkedude@beige.party @TheLegendOfThrill@mastodon.online my recommendation, find a project you enjoy. Find where they congregate. Learn the project. Be vocal in helping. Profit. I'm not a developer. But I've been working with the Bonfire group, just running it, asking questions, giving recommendations, reporting bugs. There are TONS of Fedi projects on Matrix.

I'd honestly LOVE to see people starting to play with and test drive Fedify, Emissary and Bonfire. Because those 3 are attempting to be a solid base that allows folks to build on top of it. They worry about the Fediverse part and you build whatever you want.

Fedify is a low level library essentially that Ghost is using to enable ActivityPub.

Emissary ( emissary.dev ) is trying to allow folks to build HTML and CSS on top of it. If you look at bandwagon.fm that's built on Emissary.

Bonfire is a more out of the box solution, but is highly extensible.

Again though, just running it, giving feedback seems to have been invaluable to those developers. I haven't run Fedify, but I have run Emissary and Bonfire, and Manyfold, and I just gave feedback and the devs seemed to REALLY appreciate it.

Hell I even started "Works On My Machine Live" where I install from the docs with the dev and folks seemed to learn a LOT from that. I only have a few episodes, hoping to do more in the future.

@Xavier@infosec.exchange lol born in the '80's? 1980 for me. Maybe we're twins. If so, I'm so sorry. 😁
