Hi.

It's been awhile. How goes the struggle everyone?

The "What is Mastodon?" video is still not coming up in YouTube searches for "what is mastodon". I have no idea. It's been 5 days. youtube.com/watch?v=IPSbNdBmWK

The tags look like this, and it's definitely public 😕

Reddit started banning sex worker subreddits only hours after FOSTA passed reason.com/blog/2018/03/22/red (meanwhile, fat chance they'll ever get rid of the nazis on their site)

Really, asking "what should replace Facebook" is putting things the wrong way around.

A more interesting way to ask the question is, "what did Facebook replace."

People used to build their own websites. People used to have blogs. People used USENET which was truly distributed and un-censorable.

Facebook and Google took the open internet and open standards and monetized and made everything crappy. Enough of that. Nothing should replace Facebook, it's done, stick a fork in it.

Happy Sunday, folks. I’m glad you’re here existing with me. You’re pretty cool.

Okay, I think I am gonna go ahead and install the current Ubuntu 18.04 daily. I am going to work on accepting Gnome 3. I think it may be a good fit for my workflow.

I have committed bloggery for the first time in ages. On the Naming of Characters. kellymccullough.com/on-the-nam

Writing the Ubuntu Daily image for 18.04 to usb right now. I feel like even though I don't like Gnome 3, I should check it out and see if I ever like it.

Of course I do like to test out new and updated distros probably at what most sane people would call a reasonable manner.

But I just don't really have enough important work to do with a computer that would preclude me from distro hopping.

So I got another postblock, this time on my old FB account, and this time I permanently deleted it.

Those pigs will happily ban you for standing up to Nazis, but won't ban the Nazis themselves.

Fuck 'em.

I am doing my best to evangelize for the Mastodon and Gnu.social platforms.

Open source, privacy, no ads, no Nazis? I fucking love it!

Thanks to @Gargron for developing such an amazing thing! :blobaww:

Bored and sleepy. Got splashed by the nearly five foot wake of a passing dumptruck.

SO much rain, so much wet.

Roommate made Chicken Adobo for dinner last night, and just made a Chicken Adobo thigh tostada with cabbage and red wine vinegar and a little hot sauce. Delicious.

@djabadu My first distro was Slackware, probably 8 or 9 (it was the late 90's.)

I remember the simple joys of successfully configuring my nic via text file.

Ironically it is only now that I enjoy using Vim.

@djabadu You make games and are a Linux user? RAD! And yes, I run only Linux, specifically Elementary Loki, love games, etc.
