Trees 🌳🌲
I think that I shall never see
A poem lovely as a tree.A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
Against the earth's sweet flowing breast;A tree that looks at God all day,
And lifts her leafy arms to pray;A tree that may in summer wear
A nest of robins in her hair;Upon whose bosom snow has lain;
Who intimately lives with rain.Poems are made by fools like me,
But only God can make a tree.~Joyce Kilmer
Dedicated to Ada Foster Murray Alden, 02 February 1913.
Mother and I agreed, when we talked about it, that Dad never meant his poem to apply to one particular tree, or to the trees of any special region. Just any trees or all trees that might be rained on or snowed on, and that would be suitable nesting places for robins. I guess they'd have to have upward-reaching branches, too, for the line about 'lifting leafy arms to pray.' Rule out weeping willows.
Joyce himself was felled by a sniper's bullet at the Second Battle of the Marne on July 30th 1918, at the age of 31. He was survived by his wife Aline Murray, and five children.

Decentralization is what keeps the fediverse free and weird.

Some folks, you just caen't reach...
So you get what we had here just last week, this week, and it's exactly why I denegrate those who would be so obtuse as to suggest an interview over Zoom or a weekly business meeting when we've got really great #FOSS solutions far superior to those proprietary offerings that mine your #privacy.
I personally recommend Self-hosting BBB, but Pikapods suggests Jitsi, yet both are pretty awesome and won't be caught data mining your medical records and selling them later.
What we have here is failure, to communicate...

Sounds like a bunch of Heavy Metal Death Rock musicians being Poképhobic.
Poképhobes need to be challenged...

@clay @alex @calibri For sure! Absolutely! After 85,000 years of the #natural_selection process 🤘💀🤘
But I thought the #Klaus_Schwab diet making all the headlines as of late is based on #Soylent_Green? Y'know, something more natural and organically #cannibalistic in nature - since I'mma promised to be happy and own nothing.
Ah, what do I know though. I'm just an #unrepentant, #carnivorous, #capitalist_pig anyway lolz.
Now you went and did it Clay! I'm fricken' hungry! So I'mma #eviscerate one of my #Humboldt grass fed dead cows 🐮, and use my #morphologically_functional #incisors engineered to rend, rip, and tear the #bloody_flesh from that animal I #massacred so I can ingest it for all those #Omega_3's... 🐄
Unapologetically, and without giving anyone the benefit of a CW when I post it too, #Muahahaha - #Yummies! 🥩
Here's what part one looks like... And remember, #Parts_is_Parts!
So... I can haz #Cheezburgerz? 🍔

Oh man, I feel your pain.
A could if my most prized Linux collection possessions are the very two first releases of Yggdrasil Plug and Play Linux (LGX) and the first two print editions of "The Linux Bible - the GNU Testament". I was a bit startled to find out what those would actually cost me off i ever wanted to replace them.
The other thing I've had an alert in for about ten years now is a "Memotech" keyboard for the #Timex_Sinclair computer 🖥️ I found one in the past twenty years and they wanted over two hundred dollars for it. In hindsight, I should have jumped on it, but I figured I'd find another one for twenty bucks or so. You live and learn 🙂
You know what? I should boost your inquiry for the Walnut Creek Slackware CDs into the SDF Mastodon server! There's serious #retro_computing folks there, and they maintain a comouter history museum.
I've been a member there for eons. You can't get an account there on our mastodon server unless you're an actual SDF member, but I'll be happy to boost your request there.
Okay #Matrix. In very liberal terms, Matrix is considered by many to be part of the #Fediverse. In more strict interpretations it isn't. Matrix is it's own (and optionally secured by e2ee) communications protocol including chat via text, voice, and video, for one on one and groups - kind of like Slack or discord or IRC but with a very privacy centric focus and built with #FOSS. i.e., it doesn't run on #ActivityPub protocol, but it's very popular with many millions of users.
Here's a good homeserver to join, managed by an #OpenBSD and Matrix developer who's a really nice guy. NOTE: He hosts on his home network so occasionally it goes offline for an hour or so when his ISP's DHCP server changes his IP address.
It's s very performant and well managed server. You can signup at this link:
https://bancino.net/element/#/welcome
There's an easy to read explanation of everything here:
https://joinmatrix.org/guide/#get-started
I would recommend that you start off with the #Element client if you're using #Android, which you can get here at F-Droid:
https://f-droid.org/en/packages/im.vector.app/
There are a lot of guys Matrix clients, like #SchildiChat, #FkuffyChat, a good #WeeChat plugin if you use that for IRC, #Nehko, and others; but Element has ALL features is completely cross-platform - Android, iPhone, #Linux, Mac, Web, and Windows. So it's a good client to start with.
Now, about a third of all Matrix users have accounts on the Matrix Foundation's #Homeserver, and although they recommend you choose from among three thousands of other homeservers, you are welcome to create an account there too.
Stay away from their main Matrix room though - there are several thousands of people in there and can bog your system if your machine had limited resources.
The main site to get Element for any type of computer, phone, or operating system is here:
https://element.io/
I hope that helps!
