sorry I've neglected you, mastodon. It seems I have some time on my hands, so please to be entertaining now!
Just following along with some Mastodon releases, I see a nice, up-to-date version on Docker Hub:
https://hub.docker.com/r/tootsuite/mastodon
and a ready-to-install image in the Digital Ocean Marketplace:
https://marketplace.digitalocean.com/apps/mastodon
soon to be updated to latest 3.0.1.
round of applause to @Gargron and friends. 👏

mastodon.social is experiencing technical difficulties right now. I have resolved the internal errors, making it usable again, but outward federation has a massive backlog that will only clear in about 7 hours, and I have not found a good way to speed up that process so far.
This means people on other servers might only receive your posts after 7 hours 😦
looking forward to the #brexit update to Euro Truck Simulator 2
cracked my phone's screen protector this morning, proving once again why I need a screen protector.

@claudiom Have you see Quake II RTX?
https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/news/quake-ii-rtx-ray-tracing-vulkan-vkray-geforce-rtx/
It's a port of Quake 2 with time raytracing on top of Vulkan... and it looks amazing.

Hey, y'all-- Facebook recently announced they're launching a "Patreon killer" service.
Regardless of your thoughts on Patreon, FB's alternative is TERRIBLE!
⚠️ 30% gross revenue fee
⚠️ Automatic LIFETIME IP rights to ANYTHING you put on the service
even if you quit!
⚠️ FB wants to give discounts and freebies whenever they like, w/o creator approval, and then deduct it from creator revenue
⚠️ FB will also control WHO sees your content and how many views you have

Interesting: you can fingerprint people based on their browser extensions, and LinkedIn has been doing so for years https://github.com/dandrews/nefarious-linkedin #privacy
