I love that on some very hard days I can come to my mastodon timeline and always get wholesome content from my cyberpals

@cfenollosa
that's a nice instance! 😃 It is even on the https://instances.joinpeertube.org/instances list. Which means it can be searched using https://sepiasearch.org !!
You should stop using Youtube and start using decentralized video tools. TILvids is a great communal initiative based on Peertube and has interesting content.

@cfenollosa right now I just consolidate open tabs under a bullet in Workflowy called "Inbox"
I used to clip them to Evernote but the bloated web app takes forever.
What’s your workflow to “read stuff later”?
Print on paper?
Send to Pocket or similar?
Email to self? Todo list?
Reading on your phone, tablet, ebook reader?
Please share your method!

I think one of the problems that people encounter when struggling to make money in open source is that they're too concerned with the open source and insufficiently concerned with the money.
Good at programming != good at business
You can make money in open source, absolutely, but you need to develop the skills necessary to run an actual business. You can't just ask for donations and wait for them to roll in. You need to be good at dealing with budgeting, marketing, sales, planning, compliance, and so on, and address these issues as seriously as you address your next big refactoring.
I haven’t used it in 20 years, but I still hold fond memories of its early versions. Happy 35th birthday, Windows!

I recently watched The Terminator and Terminator 2. Gosh, what great movies. Peak action and thriller.
Are there any recent movies like those which are NOT superhero movies?

Please, if you have a bot, make it post in unlisted rather than in public. There is so many bots posting in public now that the federated timeline is becoming unusable.
I don’t usually ask that, but can you boost this to spread awareness?
Great news and a big thumbs up for the EFF and github.

In 2021, Apple will encrypt OCSP traffic and introduce a way to opt-out of these checks. This is the right thing to do.
