all computers should boot to a message which says “CAUTION: this is a computer. Are you sure you want to continue? (y/N)”
Whoops! I think I broke my tooter last night.
hey @ techbro fedverse. can you stop making bots that just post shit from an RSS feed or an official twitter account without checking if there isn't already a bot that does that. half of my blocked accounts are different versions of 3 feeds.
Finally! Command-line client for #mastodon! https://mastodon.social/media/enidSQJsqetabb56ub0

Oops, I tooted from my old persona.
Whenever anyone expresses an interest in game tinkering and it even remotely sounds like they haven't seen Pico-8, I'm all like HAVE YOU SEEN PICO-8 I LURVE IT
awoo.space is explicitly a safe space. If that phrase makes you scoff, please show yourself the door. If it sounds kinda nice? Well, maybe you belong here.
Also, if you are technically capable. You can set up your own instance and join the federation.
Apparently, because I worked on rstat.us and they looked at our code for some of the mastodon stuff I'm allowed to brag that I helped create Mastodon slightly. Look I need this. Don't take it from me.
It's crazy to think that the primary bottleneck to federated social adoption was just one person deciding to implement one in Ruby on Rails. I have to underscore how exciting it is that even extremely basic attention to developer / user UX inspires huge ripples of "anybody wanting to use actually use a thing".
Huh. Exported my follows so far from Mastodon, imported them into my own tooter. About half are missing after an hour or so :/
I guess this just means I need to set up a second mastodon instance for the express purpose of breaking it
Now that I've got my own mastodon instance, I'm tempted to go all-in and just do all my tooting from there. But then, I want to play with it and I might break it. So I'm also tempted not to move
10 hours of painstaking work later...
I give you: THE MASTRONAUT
