I think I have enough of a personal following to move some of my more "personal" toots away from public timelines. This is great! I'll still share on the public local stream/fediverse. Especially if it's relevant to my local instance, funny or important/informative.

Stay awesome and have a lovely day! 👍

I promise, I won't keep going on about this stuff and I appreciate you tolerating me going this far.

"I agree" 🙃

The hardest arguments I had with friends and family prior to leaving facebook was how subtle, seemingly harmless behaviors can perpetuate a terrible thing. This doesn't just apply to white supremacy, but generally all the horrible things we do as an irresponsible, enlightened species.

Sharing this, as a privileged white man. Trying to do my part.

Did you know that Canada's validity as a nation rests upon the treaties we have with our First Nations, the treaties of which we trample on as an institution every day?

Enjoy your "Canada" day beer and maple syrup this weekend!

Nothing stops @ashfurrow from doing these things, or really, any other user here, but at least here I have the peace of mind (and a TOS) that assures me that this instance of Mastodon is not supposed to be enabled for evil.

A lot of people I really enjoy are on Twitter. Occasionally, I feel the urge to sign up a new account as my old one got the delete button a while back.

Also, for business purposes, it's probably not a bad idea. I do still have a facebook account for that purpose (even though I haven't logged into it in weeks).

...then I read the TOS and remember: Anything give to Twitter is Twitter's to use, royalty free, without any further permission. It can be changed, adapted, abused and then miss-interpreted.

You never _truly_ understand how crazy you are until your partner messages you from the other room her version of what you're saying aloud for some reason.

I had lost scope with React Router by connecting a major container to React Redux and suddenly my nav broke.

I sound like a goddamn crazy person.

Honestly. I didn't mean to get this big. It happened by snaccident.

Welp, that was a long, happy streak of Linux only in my home. Broke today and put Windows 10 back on my desktop. Mainly because I want the software that I buy to run well. Literally, just want to play my games without running into problems.

I've been buying (with what little spare change I've got) games that run in Linux native. Had an update break two of my favs in one way or another. A third game isn't running as well as it should be because it's poorly optimized. Back to dual boot I go.

Ironic: Mastodon might be turning me on to Twitter. 😬

I didn't "get" the service until I enjoyed a close facsimile.

Not to worry, I'm just curious.

We just got the dankest oil of oregano to help fight an oncoming cold. It is so strong that my gosh darned lips are on FIRE.

WHY ARE MY LIPS BURNING HOTTER THAN A THOUSAND PINE TREES ON FIRE?

Vinnie Paul, co-founder of Pantera, passed away yesterday. I'm choked. He and Dimebag Daryl created the sound and feel of groovy thrash metal that would help the genre survive the 90s.

When I pick up my drumsticks, my first thought is Pantera. I never got to see him or his brother live before they were gone.

RIP, you beautiful, rotund iron-calved drumming beast.

While exploring NextCloud, I am considering all the the things I enjoy with Google on a daily basis.

I use Google Keep almost every day for notes about my daily minutia, grocery list and todos.

It's integrated on my desktop and I have a "desktop" applet on my phone. Like many of the things Google makes, it's just so damned handy.

Short of building something myself, I'm not sure if this one's replaceable while maintaining the same experience.

Should I care about Google knowing my grocery list? 🤷‍♂️
