@ChrisWere I looked in to this recently - does #1pmobile still offer a 1 year option for around £40?

@ChrisWere I know what you mean about being pessimistic, but it can become self fulfilling. I mean, we’re going somewhere in the future, aren’t we? If it’s a bleak future and we address it with more pessimism it’s going to be even more bleak. If we address it with positivity and optimism on what we can still do we’ll have a less bleak future, right?
The existing news cycle doesn’t help. Adding something like @PositiveNewsUK to our intake of news is a good way to be inspired and hopeful about some of the good news and good actions being taken.
I think broader representation in parliament would be good. A coalition who agree to come to resolutions.
I lived in a town called #Frome some years back and their town council was made up 100% of independents. They were individually from varying positions on the political spectrum but they had a framework in place which they all signed up to. One in which they’d accept differences and always aim to be constructive.
Check out the Flatpack Democracy books for more info on that. 👇
It would be great if our national democracy had a similar set up.

CW: long (5000+ chars) toot in response to Chris Were's latest solo podcast episode, Stadia, Fediverse wishlist, Google Plus references, and podcast feedback
@ChrisWere as someone with a low-end laptop, I liked the idea of Stadia. Unfortunately the monthly subscription wasn't something that fit my budget. In hindsight I kinda wished I had, because all the refunds sound lovely. xD
As for a title for your podcast, how about something like "(Thought-share / Share a thought) with Chris Were"?
One of the positive things of the Fediverse indeed is the bit more thoughtful comments. For instance compared to Instagram it feels less like a circlejerk where people just comment to get comments back, or otherwise promote their own account.
In a way it feels rather like the early and late #GooglePlus, but without the risk / guarantee that Google will just pull the plug. There are some things I wish would be added though, most notably:- • consistent formatting support across protocols, or at least better fallbacks. This list being one example of that. On #glitchSoc I can use markdown to get a HTML-formatted list with bulleted list items. On plain #Mastodon however the whole list semantics get lost, and to a significant portion of users it wouldn't be clear that it was actually meant as a list. So, as a compromise I have to try to remember to add a manual bullet list character (•) so that it will at least appear as a list on non-formatting-supporting platforms. On others however I'll now likely have two leading bullets, and it'll likely get pronounced by TTS engines.I rather wish that the markdown gets sent and received as plain text by the platforms that don't support HTML formatting, rather than the HTML-formatted output which then gets outright stripped on the display end. Content-warning support between Mastodon and #Friendica is a similar thing.
- • migration of posts / #NomadicIdentity. It's great that we can migrate our follows and followers and various lists between #Mastodon instances. However, the thing I care about the most, my history of posts, would unceremoniously get left behind on the server. This isn't much of an issue if you are just moving servers because you like the community or features of another server better, as people can still access your older (public/unlisted) posts, but it is a loss when you migrate because the former server is getting shut down. I know that some Fediverse protocols do offer post migration, or even auto-mirroring, through nomadic identities, most notably those using the #Zot6 (or #Zap it's called now, I think?), but it'd be nice if Mastodon (which for better or for worse still feels like the leading platform of the fediverse) would also implement this, and if there was better support for migrating between these different platforms.
- • better visibility controls. It'd be nice if I could limit some posts to just a list of users, without having to tag them individually (and thus have it treated as a DM rather than a regular timeline post). Again, this is more of a Mastodon specific limitation; #Diaspora* and Friendica (iirc) most notably do support this already, with Diaspora*'s 'aspects' probably being closest to #GPlus's 'circles' feature.
- • 'Collections'. This was probably my favourite feature of Google Plus. Being able to group your posts under topics without having to rely on hashtags. You could add a separate header image for the collection as well as a description, both of which were nice additions, but the killer aspect of it to me was that you could specify if people would automatically follow that Collection when they'd follow your account. And like-wise, I could unfollow specific collections from people I'd follow, or follow just individual ones of them without following everything they posted. This made it possible to follow just someone's Doctor Who posts, or to follow someone's generic posts without having to listen to their political ranting.Sure, Mastodon has the $userprofile/tagged/#hashtag filter (e.g. https://toot.cat/@FiXato/tagged/Collections), but that is limited to public posts, and only supports a single hashtag at a time. Plus, you have to remember to use the right hashtag every time for each of your #collections. It feels like a hack, a bodge, rather than a full-fledged feature.
As for some (hopefully regarded as constructive) feedback to your podcast: I felt like it repeated itself a couple of times, and could probably have been 5 – 10 minutes shorter (which, yes, is kinda ironic (?) criticism given the length of my post 😅). After the Stadia segment you had your closing segment, which then basically went on into a segment about the #Fediverse, which I feel like could easily have been an episode of its own. For something I access through my Mastodon feed, I think 10 – 15 minutes is kinda the sweet spot when it comes to maximum length. (Though this might be more of a client-specific thing, as I couldn't continue scrolling my feed on Fedilab while listening, whereas that might've been an option on the web interface.)

@ChrisWere
I have run #lmde4 on my main laptop for a few months, without an issue or a fail. I added #kde repos & #Debian & #LinuxMint is pretty sweet. Now running on @Emmabuntus -

@[email protected] @kungtotte @Matter @ndegruchy yeah same :( I've thought about starting #digitaldining here on #Mastodon, but that probably won't reach the loneliest group.

@chriswere while I agree with you that *in general* cheap teas, especially from house brands, are disappointing; you can at times be surprised by exceptions to that rule.
I've tried quite a bunch of #EarlGrey teas, including a number of house brands, both in the #Netherlands and #Norway, but one of my favourites is actually one of the cheapest, namely the house brand of #CoopNorway, #Xtra Earl Grey.
So it can be worth trying out a bunch of cheap ones. :) -
@ChrisWere video about De-Googling Android (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4c2GTbXYknI) made me think about the daily information overload by following to many accounts/users and having a lot push notifications.
You can call it "digital diet".
So i'm thinking whats important for me, whats helps me in my job and for other parts of my life.First step: unfollowing unimportant accounts on twitter (moving them to a list).

@analyst42 @chrisbeeley I used #distill for a public site and #bookdown for internal things I just can't share, like connection strings. It's surprising how often I get to share the links to public posts compared to internal links.

Darn it... I have #Xonotic on my Wind'ohs system. It's the portable version.
Anyone interested in #Unreal_Tournament 1? -
Just read Valid by #ChrisBergeron (translated from French). Tough to say anything without spoilers, but it's dystopian autofiction set in Montreal in 2050, w/ the MC - a 70-year-old trans woman - loosely based on the author. I recommend!
((For those in #yeg looking for a replacement to our dearly departed Glass Bookshop, this was a book of the month for Shelf Life Books in #yyc, which is why I decided to try them as my new go-to store. I think I made an excellent choice.))

@JayVii_de @ChrisWere if you don't notice captchas it probably means you are logged in to Google on the same browser.
If you are not, they are EVERYWHERE.
I call it the #googleTax: "if you won't feed us with your data you'll work for us"

Watched a video by @[email protected] today. It was a really cool and refreshing experience to watch a video that's not on YouTube.
Inspired me to create an account and upload content. Thanks bro. We should all move to federated services. #Masto #Pixelfed #ShareTube -
