Got a dog.

I found convos were more human.

Its actually pretty cheap! Its just not useful for anyone. Plus there are point to point and laser communications.

It would be a killer feature for us in the fedi. :)

Peertube is awesome, but more alternatives in the space would be welcome.

Heck yeah! Having the dev on call could be funny.

I once had a huge amount of green beans just all die at the same time because some kind of blight/disease ripped through them. After a couple of years of good harvests + compost.

Ive heard through other people that have gone through a governmental and economic collapse that our superpower as people is in our ability to make connections. And our local community is how they were able to survive in trying times. Getting to know your neighbors, your community can help out when going to barter and trade.

Im thinking starting a community garden or joining one might be a good start. I know im part of a local makerspace so we can repair and augment our tools. Worst case, I find out im not very good at a thing (like Crochet, im terrible) but best case you can contribute back.

I hope nothing bad will happen, but ive already been through a couple of economic downturns, a pandemic, a huge fire/drought and other such events. Yet I am still here. And so is my community. Because we helped each other.

I had a job that used COBOL and programmed in it. Its not terrible. It even works with sql.

The issue is the decades of code with little to o documentation, the fixes for issues like y2k that wirked at the time but now have problems, and greedy companies that want you to pay per processor. All the while you yourself are one of three people in the city that are looking to slowly pull everything out of COBOL, making it just a bit harder to get a job next time.

For the amount of work it does heck yeah.

But we also pay 40-50c per KWH so it really stacks up quick.

Whats some good ones?

Thats a heck of a domain lol.

No judgement here but what didnt work for you? Just the slowness? Or some other thing that made it hard to use?

For me I started out on Mastodon, has some fun with individuals I knew. Got into lemmy(world) for about a year. Then decided this piefed thing is fun (and found out about scheduled posts). Now I am here.

I also use Gotosocial, Peertube, and for a little while there bookwyrm, funckwhale, and friendica.

So this whole posting and other people on other platforms commenting/sharing has worked out quite a few places! Its awesome to open up a thread somewhere and see many different accounts on many different servers all talking to one another. I enjoy the interactions here much more than traditional social media.

For improvements, I would still very much like an all in one app. I know its quite a bit far fetched, but its a hassle and a half to keep up with all these accounts. I want either:

1. One fediverse app to rule them all (join everything fedi related, comment on everything fedi related)
   OR
2. A way to login to most fedi services I use and use the UI that service has with my login creds.

Its all very far fetched, but it still kinda sucks I have to manage something like 6 different accounts across different software stacks.

https://100r.co/site/uxn.html is a fun one :D

It can run on just about anything.

The best OS I cant wrap my head around.

Yep! I have a new-ish battery in one and linux running on it. Its so nice.

I bought an ipod from a thrift store. Its so nice to have a separate power and audojack!

Usb c headphones. Plugs right into usb c devices. Its almost as good as the audio jack of old.

Right? A good keyboard is well worth it.

Power banks with replaceable batteries are awesome.
