That cellphone mastodon server @HolosSocial has made me wonder if it would be possible to self host a bunch of stuff on a raspberry pi (like @freedomboxfndn ) and have a mobile server that you could power from a battery pack or your laptop to self host from public networks (eg coffe shop) or tether it to your cellphone.
Maybe add a small lora device into the same case so you can run a #meshtastic node at the same time.
Is this possible?

@markstos I trust you looked for a Language setting at the System Settings level? Not sure how that could've been flipped, but it's a place to look. #spitballing

Occam's Knife Game:
People who are in deep denial about what they nonetheless know to be the truth will offer up every explanation they can imagine except the correct one in an effort to sustain their denial. You can tell they understand the truth of the matter, because of how carefully and completely they avoid it.

@joranelias maybe for S4 '@' works as it always does. but for non-s4 it accesses attributes.

Stray thought, but I might try learning how to #animate my avatar after I finish drawing them a #vibribbon -inspired body, including their miscellaneous parts. Who knows? Might make 'em into a #vtuber too, just for the fun of it. I mean, I DID just pick up a #leapmotion hand tracker/controller from a friend, so why not?
No promises though, already have enough to deal with thanks to life making me hold down a job to pay off loans. =[|>87

@renwillis @OutOnTheMoors @jcrabapple @zens @jonny Thinking about this post again, from @darius. Human based onboarding seems like the ideal solution. But UX can play a role in making that easier. Reminders to check in on new users you've invited or paired with, ways to recommend specific follows to them beyond just your boosts that go out to everyone… #spitballing https://friend.camp/@darius/109660508577796501

@b0rk #spitballing -- something with Schroedinger's Cat maybe, inasmuch as: you never know what the float is until you try to use it?

@shannonmattern Is *thick-time* a thing, an object of measure, a utilizable frame? Could it be applied to these structures of time embrasure, of future description, mutations, events and transmutations? I see you as an innovator in the juggling of temporalities, of time-presence consilience. Spitballing. Thanks!

What if we wrote instance rules like "We strongly encourage you not to make reply guy-ish replies on the Fediverse. If you choose to do so anyway, do not report any of the responses you receive"?

@ChrisPirillo or... and I'm just #spitballing here... you COULD contribute one of those amounts to your local/home #Mastodon instance to mitigate the impact of the great #TwitterMigration ... 😄

Idly thinking out loud… The original purpose of ‘verifciation’ on Twitter / FB was to prevent imposters, not to infer status.
Given we don’t have a central trusted entity to do verification on Mastodon, perhaps users could upload a video of them reading a random phase generated by the server and saying their username (similar to mobile banking apps KYC checks).
That would limit the time to restrict fakery and let other users decide on the veracity.

♲ @[email protected]:The Junk-Legistlation War of Attrition
In states in which the GOP controls the entire legislative, executive, and often judicial branches of government, throwing out bullshit laws is effectively free. Given the present composition and disposition of the US Supreme Court, that advantage rises to the highest level of judicial review in the U.S.
Defeating those laws costs money. It also causes very real pain and dislocation.
It's a form of political-economic warfare.
Florida's obvious First-Amendment free-speech violating gag law is one example. In another case, Texas passed a law requiring companies doing business with the state to maintain a politically neutral (at best) stance on gun control. Anti-abortion laws targeting the poor and minorities (the Confederacy rises again) a third.
I've been starting to think how blue states might consider responding to this. All-out legislative warfare seems suboptimal, but may be the best available option.
There's been some action along these lines, including curtailing any state-sponsored travel (at the state level), or companies (often entertainment and sports franchises) boycotting states with highly-oppressive legislation.
The US constitution itself limits states' capabilities in some regards, though there might be options for action here, and again, where Democrats control the entire governmental apparatus, this might be a lower-cost option for response.
Targeting both GOP-dominated states and significant funding and enabling concerns behind the GOP might be options ehre.

One year since these creaky hipsters tried to groom me for their scratchy sex cult.
