Mastodon is not something that you just dump something on. It's not a big truck. It's a series of toots.

Took the train to LA and missed almost all the rain. Emerged from the subway on the train back home and it's finally coming down. ⛈️

Found the Funko shop in Hollywood. The Thanos was easily a 7 foot tall statue.

Cop lost his balance on the train and accidentally gave me a lapdance. I wasn't really feeling it but I still stuck a single into his belt just to be polite.

When everyone on the train is playing music on their phone out loud how is that enjoyable?

FOR SCIENCE!

YouTube and LBRY are too centralized. PeerTube doesn't federate.

Maybe I'll just release my video as a #bittorrent magnet link...

Samsung is starting to push 8k TVs. Most movies and shows are still filmed in 2k.

Even some movies made in 4k have all their cgi effects built in 2k because most people can't see the difference.

Of course I have Tor Browser on the desktop too.

Without trying I've slowly adopted using different browsers for different parts of the web.

Mobile:

+ Brave for most browsing, fairly safe
+ Fennic (Firefox) with uBlock and uMatrix for sketchy sites
+ Tor browser for those hard to reach places
+ Bromite for testing mobile websites with "Chrome" for work

Desktop:

+ Firefox with uBlock and uMatrix for most tasks
+ Brave for Google and streaming sites
+ Chromium for work stuff only

It seems like a lot but it works...

Made the mistake of eating too much sugar free candy. 💩

I ordered a USB floppy drive from Ebay. Got a bunch of old floppies from my dad's old stash of hardware.

I have no legitimate reason to use a floppy disk other than the notion that magnetic storage might have a longer lifespan than SSD and mechanical drives.

I guess I'll find out if some of those 20 year old disks read when the drive comes in.

I have an issue with #PeerTube and I'm thinking that I need your help in understanding.

What YouTube alternative should be my focus for my videos?

We had 12 hours at Disneyland today but we are all worn out after 10. Seriously, if I had the energy I could have spent all 12 hours. I'm a sucker for the Mouse House.

The Star Wars stuff alone was so much fun.

Today I learned that the Disney park has WiFi. They didn't have that when I worked here. This is brilliant.

My sister and my niece joined me for Disneyland day.

#Scale18x is less than a month away. I'm very excited.
