I also didn’t use Twitter but wanted to try to get into mastodon. One thing to note is that the official mastodon app currently doesn’t allow you to follow hashtags, only people. The FEDILABS app allows you to follow topics by hashtags. Since I’m new I didnt have any people I knew of to follow off the bat, so it was nice to be able to follow #scuba and automagically see a bunch of stuff I care about pop up in my home feed.
For years, I was hoping to be the very last American to catch COVID. I’d dodged a couple near misses, including being…close 😏… to my wife the night before she tested positive.
When it finally got me it was quite mild. I tested + when I had very mild symptoms, so I went for a run before things got bad. Felt crappy the next day, but the day after that I felt good enough to get another run in.
Not sure if it’s related, but every time I got a vaccine/booster I thought for sure that the next one would kill me.
Are you playing steam games that have Linux versions? Or is the “comparability mode” stable and fast enough that you don’t really have to think about it?
It’s a a send-up of the supposedly “feel-good” stories about people that go above and beyond to make the horrors of some societal problem (usually capitalism) less horrifying for somebody. Like, when a child holds a 48 hr lemonade sale marathon to erase the lunch debt of his/her peers. Yeah, it’s a nice thing to do, but it should NOT be necessary.
The idea is that we would see stories talking about how great this person is for slowing down an orphan crushing machine, without questioning the need for an orphan crushing machine in the first place.
