I dunno. I keep remembering what my old Pebble did, and how well it did, and nothing more… And yep, I want it back.

Basically, a dumb watch, with an HR monitor, accelerometer, and could sync that data to my phone app.

Its API let me do cool things like pause/unpause my music while running, which was nice. But, it required the apps to be have an API for doing so.

Battery? The thing went an entire week between charges.

I was under the (mistaken) impression he stepped away when he left to work at MS.

Huh. I thought he had stepped away when he left for MS…

Another good reason Poettering left the project. This was a hill he wanted to die on… glibc only.

Thunderbird and neomutt.

Watch the intro video when you first turn on the mac book. REALLY.

If you miss it, or whatever, find the current vid to watch. Before I did that, it felt like the touchpad was insane, and just doing random shit.

And get iTerm2. Its better than stock.

From there, its just a UNIX with a funny window manager.

A huge problem are developers who lack a fundamental understanding of how the internet even works. I’ve had to explain how short, unqualified names resolve vs how fqdns resolve. Or why even you may not be able to reach another node in your proverbial cluster, because they are on different subnets. Or, why using GUIDs as hostnames is a generally bad idea, and will cause things to fail in unpredictable ways, especially with deeply nested subdomains.

Oh, yeah, I guess I kinda tossed that out there, as they do host a ton of servives. However, its very welcoming as an onboard ramp to learn about *nix stuff. Just ease yourself into that, while exploring Disroot and RiseUp :)

Tildeverse.org

Disroot.org

Riseup.net

Instead of self hosting, why not try better offerings?

Most anything you probably use Google for, you can do with a disroot account. Riseup is a great group, with many similar services (not all). The tildeverse also has myriad replacement services.

Just try to support them, financially.

The flea market I go to has none of that.

What mechanisms are there to limit bad actors on ebay and other commercial marketplaces?

Very little.

Personally, I think they can fuck right off.

Yeah, and I dont give the instance long for the world.

No you, and others know!

Conservatives are all ok with it, and promoting it. Its a core tenet.

It’s harm reduction to vote for someone who just lets fascists implement their policies, anyways?

It would behoove every instance to defed them.

’m not talking about fascists either.

You’re talking about conservatives, who are fascists in sheep’s clothing.
