It’s funny how us IT people used to jump on any new technology back in the day, and now all we want is to live in a cabin in the woods without internet.
Something has been bothering me lately.
Mastodon is praised for genuine human interaction, mutual respect, and the lack of engagement-driven algorithms.

Anger at mistreatment is understandable, but respect cannot apply only to people we agree with. A healthier network also depends on how we choose to speak to one another.

Impressed that postal services are still delivering packages in Europe's heat today. I'm going to offer this guy some ice cream when he visits in a few hours.
29.8°C already, and it's not even 10:00. This weather is nuts.
Does running the new iOS beta bring anything good if you're in the EU and don't get the new fancy Siri?
Yes, let's keep using this company to message our friends and family.
